The self-hosted Tradify alternative
Jobora — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing — 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 Tradify every month.
Stop renting Tradify
1 month of Tradify equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Straight per-user pricing with no bundled seats — the figure shown assumes a three-person crew on the entry tier, 3 x $47 = $141/mo. A sole trader pays $47 and should compare on that basis; the meter is the thing that grows. Jobora is one payment whatever the headcount.
How Tradify pricing grows with you
Tradify prices every plan per user per month, so each extra person on the tools adds the full tier price again.

What Tradify does that we don't
Tradify puts every feature into its free trial instead of gating them behind a plan.
“Our free trial includes all the features, giving you the freedom to find out what plan will work best for your business.” — their own page
Who should stay with Tradify
If you need Google Calendar sync for a crew already living in Google Workspace, stay with Tradify — Jobora publishes a read-only calendar feed and does not write back to anybody else's calendar. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Tradify
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Tradify'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 — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing vs Tradify comparison.
