The self-hosted FieldEdge alternative
Jobora — Self-hosted field-service software: quotes that turn into jobs, a drag-and-drop schedule board, real job costing and invoices — bought once. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying FieldEdge every month.
FieldEdge No public price — quote-gated: Select, Premier and Elite plans, "Book a demo call" Jobora is $129.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
How FieldEdge pricing grows with you
FieldEdge is priced by TECHNICIAN COUNT plus ADD-ONS, disclosed only after a demo call.

What FieldEdge does that we don't
FieldEdge is built for established multi-truck HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors, with a Premier tier aimed at exactly that.

Who should stay with FieldEdge
Stay with FieldEdge if you are a multi-truck HVAC, plumbing or electrical contractor who wants a vendor-run system with add-ons and a demo-led onboarding. Jobora is the small-crew version you install yourself. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting FieldEdge
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in FieldEdge's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Jobora vs FieldEdge comparison.
