About JobsiteStack

JobsiteStack is an independent publication about the software that home service businesses use to run the office side of the job.

Why it exists

Choosing a scheduling and invoicing platform is one of the more expensive decisions a small service business makes, and it is unusually hard to research. Pricing pages hide the payment processing rates. Feature comparisons are written by the vendors being compared. Half the published pricing is out of date, and the other half says “contact sales”.

This site does the reading. We collect what each company actually publishes about its own product, put competing products side by side on the same terms, and point out where the published information is incomplete or where two sources from the same vendor disagree.

What we cover

Scheduling and dispatch, quoting and estimating, invoicing and payment collection, customer records and recurring service, review and reputation tools, and the practicalities of moving off spreadsheets. We write for owner-operators and small crews in pressure washing, lawn care and landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, cleaning, and roofing.

What we do not claim

We are not a testing lab. We do not run these platforms on live jobs, we do not score them out of ten based on use, and we do not publish first-hand accounts of operating them. Everything here is a comparison of published material, and it is written that way on purpose.

Articles are drafted with the help of AI tools working from published vendor sources. Where a vendor does not publish a figure, we say it is unpublished rather than estimating one.

How we are funded

By affiliate commission from some of the companies we write about. Every link that pays us is labelled at the link, the article carries a disclosure above the body, and articles that are wholly about products we earn on are labelled Ad: in the title.
