The self-hosted Kickserv 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 Kickserv every month.
Stop renting Kickserv
3 months of Kickserv equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The month-to-month entry tier, which includes five users. The ladder steps to $119 at ten users and $199 at twenty — the price follows the headcount band. Jobora has no band: one payment covers the crew at any size.
How Kickserv pricing grows with you
Kickserv meters by USER BAND: 5 users at $60, 10 at $119, 20 at $199 — cross a band and the monthly price steps up.

What Kickserv does that we don't
Kickserv has a genuine low entry point and a 30-day trial, and its tiers are simple to read.

Who should stay with Kickserv
Stay with Kickserv if you want a hosted tool with a mobile app, integrated payments and QuickBooks sync for a crew of five or fewer at $60 a month. Jobora is the buy-once version: after the first month of Run-tier money it is paid for, but you run it on your own server. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Kickserv
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Kickserv'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 Kickserv comparison.
