The self-hosted FieldPulse 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 FieldPulse every month.

Own Jobora for $129 Try the live demo

Stop renting FieldPulse.

FieldPulse No public price — quote-gated: seat-based, "Get a Custom Quote" Jobora is $129 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How FieldPulse pricing grows

FieldPulse meters by SEAT (full-access and field-only), and the rate is only disclosed in a custom quote.

What FieldPulse does that we don't

FieldPulse bundles scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and a technician mobile app under one seat-priced platform with a sales team behind it.

Who should stay with FieldPulse

Stay with FieldPulse if you want per-seat flexibility, a native technician app and an account manager. Jobora has no seats to count and no account manager — it is a web app on your server that a small crew runs itself.

What Jobora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting FieldPulse.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in FieldPulse's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Jobora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off FieldPulse.

Is the invoice math really the same as Invora's?
It is the same file. The totals and status functions are byte-identical — a test extracts both function bodies and compares them — and Invora's published reference case (10 x 100.00 at 8.5% plus 1 x 500.00 at 0%, 5% discount, total 1,505.75) reproduces to the cent here, on SQLite and on MySQL. Only the three loader methods differ, because they name Jobora's own tables.
What happens if I drag a job onto someone who is already out?
It springs back and tells you who, and when, in a sentence. The drag calls the same conflict rule the booking form calls, so the board and the form can never disagree about what is allowed.
Does it take payments?
Not on its own. Switch on card payment and your customer pays an invoice by card on your own Stripe account's page; Jobora records the payment Stripe reports and never sees the card. Without Stripe, an invoice carries your own payment link and recording a payment records a fact.
Will this run on shared hosting?
Yes. PHP 8.1+ with PDO, MySQL or SQLite. The MySQL path is not assumed: 32 checks run against MariaDB in strict mode, including the money reference case.
