## Ways to pay less

- **20% off with annual billing** (Other savings): The pricing page says an annual subscription saves 20%, and lists per-user rates of $16, $12, $8 and $4 in the annual column. Source: https://www.jobtread.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Estimating and takeoff:** Build estimates from a cost catalog, run takeoffs and bid requests, and turn approved estimates into contracts that customers sign electronically.
- **Scheduling and daily logs:** Tasks and schedules, daily logs, time tracking, and a place for files, photos and videos on each job.
- **Job finances:** Budgets, change orders, job costing, purchase orders, work orders, and billing from subs and vendors, with AIA payment applications.
- **Customer and vendor portals:** Customers see selections, allowances and messages in a portal. Vendors and subcontractors get their own portal. Portal users are free and unlimited.
- **Invoices and online payments:** Send customer invoices, collect payments online, and sync with QuickBooks Online for accounting.

## Good for

- Remodelers and home builders who estimate and invoice in the same tool
- Specialty contractors such as roofers and pool builders
- Small crews: the price starts with one user included

## Worth knowing

- The $199 monthly base covers 1 internal user. Users 2 to 10 are $20 each a month, billed monthly.
- Accountants and some other non-employees can count as internal users if they need access to JobTread data.
- It is not in the App Store or Google Play. The vendor says to install it to the home screen as a progressive web app.
- Monthly billing carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the page shows no free trial.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. JobTread covers estimating, scheduling, daily logs, job finances and customer portals for builders and remodelers. It costs $199 a month with one user included, there's no free trial, and it isn't in the App Store or Google Play.

- **Value for money: D.** $199 a month with one user included is well above the category's dearer quarter at $99, and one person pays all of it. Users 2 to 10 are $20 each, so five people pay $279 a month.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no free trial on the page; monthly billing has a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is not a trial.
- **Features: B.** Estimating and takeoff, scheduling, daily logs, job finances, customer and vendor portals, and invoices with online payments. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the building job.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It is a web app where you build your own estimates, catalogue and templates before it works.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, installed to the home screen as a progressive web app, with QuickBooks Online, Zapier, Gusto, EagleView and supplier links. It is not in either app store.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of JobTread you could make: quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking, job scheduling and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 55 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $2,388 a year.

- You could make: Quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking, job scheduling and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Zapier and Gusto among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
