1 month of Service Fusion costs what Jobora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: The month-to-month Starter price, shown beside the 15%-cheaper annual figure; the annual rate is quoted too so nobody mistakes it for the monthly one. Unlimited users is genuine and is the honest counterweight: Service Fusion meters months, not seats. Re-read 2026-09-26 in a rendered browser, both billing states: unchanged. A render from a US address the day before showed the tiers with no figures, so the page may vary by visitor. Jobora meters neither.

How Service Fusion pricing grows

Service Fusion meters by MONTH, not by seat: every tier says unlimited users, and the price climbs by tier ($245 → $382 → $627) rather than by headcount.

What Service Fusion does that we don't

Every Service Fusion tier includes unlimited users — a real advantage over per-seat rivals for a growing crew.

Who should stay with Service Fusion

Stay with Service Fusion if you want unlimited seats on a hosted platform with GPS fleet tracking, payments and a vendor handling the servers. Jobora costs less than one month of Starter and then costs nothing again, but you host it and it processes no payments.

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

Why owning beats renting Service Fusion.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Service Fusion'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 Service Fusion.

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.
