The Modern Workiz Alternative for Field Service Teams
If you run an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or appliance business, you already know the daily grind: dispatch the right tech, keep the schedule tight, and get paid before the truck leaves the driveway. Workiz is a well-known option, and teams often go looking for an alternative when they want a more map-first workflow, simpler pricing, or the freedom to use their own Twilio, Stripe, and AI accounts instead of going through a vendor.
JobField is built for exactly that. It is the honest, modern, map-first field service CRM where the live dispatch map is the hero, the AI dispatcher auto-routes urgent jobs, and techs invoice and take tap-to-pay on site. Pricing is flat and public, and you bring your own keys with no markup and no lock-in. Below is a fair, side-by-side look so you can decide for yourself.
A live map that runs the day, not a tab you check
Most field-service software treats the map as a feature you open occasionally. JobField flips that. The live dispatch map is the home screen: every active job and every tech shows in real time, and the system surfaces the nearest available tech automatically so you route by drive time instead of guesswork. When an urgent call comes in, you can see and assign in seconds.
- Real-time tech locations and job pins on one live map
- Nearest-tech auto-routing built into dispatch
- Drag-and-drop scheduling that updates the map instantly
AI dispatcher that does the busywork
JobField ships with an AI dispatcher that auto-routes urgent jobs to the closest qualified tech, drafts customer texts for you, and writes call summaries so nothing gets lost between the phone and the calendar. It is designed to cut the back-and-forth on a busy dispatch desk, not to add another upsell tier you have to chase.
- Auto-route urgent jobs to the nearest available tech
- Drafted texts so dispatch replies in one tap
- Automatic call summaries attached to the job
Get paid the same day with on-site tap-to-pay
Invoicing and payment live where the work happens. Techs build the invoice on the native app and take payment on site with tap-to-pay, so customers pay before the visit is over. Faster collection means less chasing receivables and healthier cash flow week to week.
- Build and send invoices from the job site
- Tap-to-pay on the phone, no extra terminal
- Same-day collection instead of net-later follow-ups
Bring your own keys, flat pricing, no lock-in
JobField uses a bring-your-own-keys model: connect your own Twilio, Stripe, and AI provider accounts. You pay those providers directly at their rates with no JobField markup, and your data and integrations stay yours. Pricing is flat and published up front: Starter $49, Pro $149, Platform $299, and Enterprise. With many field-service tools, messaging, payments, or AI features may be resold with a markup or gated behind a higher tier, so it is always worth checking the current plan you are on.
- BYOK for Twilio, Stripe, and AI, billed by them directly
- No markup on messaging, payments, or AI usage
- Flat published tiers: $49 / $149 / $299 / Enterprise
