Patch vs Jobber: common questions
Is Patch a cheaper alternative to Jobber? +
Patch focuses on bookings, deposits and payments at one simple monthly price, so it is usually simpler and cheaper for a sole trader than a full field-service suite. If you need quoting, invoicing and team dispatching, Jobber does more.
Can Patch handle my whole team? +
Patch works well for sole traders and small teams sharing a diary. For large crews needing routing and job costing, a field-service platform like Jobber may suit better.
Does Patch do invoicing? +
Patch is bookings-first: it takes deposits and balances by card and tracks what is paid against each booking. It is not a full accounting or invoicing suite.
