Straight answers

Questions from the field.

No suit-speak here either.

How much does JobBuddy cost?
JobBuddy has three plans.
Starter is free forever for 1 user, with offline mode, unlimited projects, and up to 100 photos and documents.
Pro is $199/month plus $25 per user, adding unlimited storage, GPS time tracking, QuickBooks, the JODA AI assistant, and advanced reporting - 15% off billed yearly.
Enterprise offers custom pricing with tailored workflows, integrations, and dedicated onboarding. Start free anytime.
Does JobBuddy work offline, with no cell service?
Yes - 100% offline. Time tracking, photos, daily logs and schedules keep working in basements, dead zones and rural sites with zero bars. Everything syncs automatically at the first bar of signal, so the office never waits on the field and no data is ever lost.
How does geofenced time tracking work?
You drop a geofence around the job site address. The crew can only clock in inside that boundary, so buddy punching and clocking in from the truck stop on day one. GPS-stamped hours flow straight into payroll reports and QuickBooks - contractors typically recover 5-10% of payroll.
Is JobBuddy a good alternative to Procore or Buildertrend for small contractors?
If you run a 5-50 person crew, yes. The enterprise giants are desktop-first, take months to roll out, and their entry pricing runs hundreds of dollars a month before you add users. JobBuddy is mobile-first construction management with a 15-minute setup, true offline mode, and pricing built for small and mid-size builders and trades.
Does JobBuddy integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes. Field hours, expenses and invoices sync to QuickBooks, so timesheets never get re-typed. Most crews run Friday payroll in about five minutes.
What is JODA, the AI assistant?
JODA is JobBuddy's built-in AI foreman. It reads the contracts, emails, blueprints and photos on your jobs, answers questions instantly ("what's the flooring spec on unit 4?"), coordinates schedules across crews, and builds reliable estimates from messy intake - so nobody digs through binders.
What devices does JobBuddy run on?
iPhone and iPad via the App Store (rated 4.6 of 5), Android via Google Play, and any web browser for the office. Built mobile-first for thumbs in gloves - and offline mode works on every device.
Where is JobBuddy made, and where does it work?
JobBuddy is built in Canada and runs job sites across Canada and the United States, in English and French. Real humans answer the phone at +1 647 905 9157.
