Job software, explained

Picking job management software comes down to a few questions the price lists don’t answer for you: how an app charges, what it will really cost once your crew and your workload are counted, and whether it gives back enough time to be worth paying for. A plan that looks cheap for one person can be the dearest for a crew of six, and the other way round.

These guides answer them from the makers’ own Australian price lists, with every figure linked to its source and the date we checked it. Each one ends at the job ticket, so you can try the answer on your own crew.
