The self-hosted Workiz 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 Workiz every month.

Own Jobora for $129 Try the live demo

Stop renting Workiz.

Workiz No public price — three plans (Standard, Pro, Ultimate), each "Request pricing"; annual billing "save $400+" over monthly Jobora is $129 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How Workiz pricing grows

Workiz is quoted per business after a demo request; the only figure on the page is the annual-billing saving, not a price.

What Workiz does that we don't

Workiz bundles AI tools and automations in its upper tiers and runs phone and messaging inside the platform.

Who should stay with Workiz

Stay with Workiz if you want built-in calling, messaging and AI automations under one hosted vendor. Jobora is quotes, scheduling and job costing on your own server, without the phone system.

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

Why owning beats renting Workiz.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Workiz'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 Workiz.

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.
