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 keep their own business number and customer data instead of renting them from 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 receptionist answers and books the calls your team misses, and techs invoice and take tap-to-pay on site through built-in JobField Pay. Pricing is flat and public, what's yours stays yours, and there's no lock-in. Below is a fair, side-by-side look so you can decide for yourself.

See what a day looks like in JobField.
Real numbers from a real day. Two minutes, no card.
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
- See the nearest available tech and assign in one drag
- Drag-and-drop scheduling that updates the map instantly
AI receptionist that does the busywork
JobField ships with an AI receptionist that answers every call, day or night, books the job, and writes the details straight into it. It has its own number and sits behind your main line, so the calls nobody picks up at 9pm still land on tomorrow's board. It is $139/month on any plan, published on the pricing page.
- Answers every call 24/7 and books the job into the schedule
- Call summaries land on the job card, so dispatch replies with the facts in front of them
- Call transcripts and summaries on Pro and Platform
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
What's yours stays yours — flat pricing, no lock-in
With JobField, what's yours stays yours: your business number and your customer data. Phone service and the AI receptionist are optional add-ons, billed by JobField on the same monthly bill, and JobField Pay is built in for cards and Tap to Pay on iPhone. Pricing is flat and published up front: Starter $49, Pro $149 and Platform $299. With many field-service tools, messaging, payments, or AI features may cost extra or be gated behind a higher tier, so it is always worth checking the current plan you are on.
- Your business number and your customer data — all stay yours, no lock-in
- One invoice from JobField — you never get a separate bill from a carrier or a processor
- Flat published tiers: $49 / $149 / $299
