Jobber for handyman teams: a calendar with seats, or a board without them.
Jobber is a good calendar with a published price and a seat for every extra person. For handyman teams, Thorbis is a dispatch board rather than a calendar, one posted price for the company, and a crew that is never a seat count.

The work
The days handyman teams run, on either system.
01
Quick quotes

02
The day
Drag-and-drop jobs, and rescheduling the customer does online instead of by voicemail.
03
Collect
Deposits by card or ACH before the work, the invoice at the door after it.

Is this comparison current?
