Straight answers, including the ones that aren’t flattering. If something you need isn’t here, reply to any JobTally email — it comes to a person, not a ticket queue.
The short version: $150/mo or $1,200/yr, every feature, unlimited crew, one job free forever, no card. It’s a website, not an app — nothing to download. Your crew clocks in with one button. Cancel anytime and take your data with you.
$150/month, or $1,200/year — the yearly works out to 4 months free. Every feature is included and crew is unlimited. There are no per-seat charges, so hiring a guy never raises your bill. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
There is no card at signup. You run one job free for as long as you like, and JobTally bills $0 the whole time. You only pay when you want a second job open at the same time.
Nothing ever shuts off in the middle of a job. A trial that ends by locking you out of your own numbers is worse than no trial at all, which is exactly why JobTally does not use one.
Cancel anytime — there’s no contract and no cancellation call. Export everything first if you want it. If you want it all gone, Settings has a delete button that erases the account for real.
Almost nothing. You text each guy an invite link, he sets a password once, and after that his whole app is basically one big Clock In / Clock Out button. If he can text, he can use it. Workers don’t cost extra — they’re not seats.
No. JobTally is a website. They pull up getjobtally.com in whatever browser is already on the phone — no app store, no 200MB install, no “my phone’s full.” Works on a six-year-old Android.
Yes, and it looks like any other app once it’s there. On Android it’s one tap — JobTally offers you the button. On iPhone it’s Share → Add to Home Screen, about three taps, because Apple gives websites no way to do it in one. Anyone who tells you otherwise about an iPhone is guessing.
His clock-in and clock-out are saved on the phone and sent up as soon as signal comes back. Hours don’t disappear in a basement or a dead zone.
About five minutes. The first time you sign in, a setup guide walks you through your first job, your crew, and your first estimate and invoice, checking each step off as you go.
Yes. Hold the mic and say it the way you’d say it to a foreman — “Dave was on the Miller deck six hours,” “how much am I making on the Klein job” — and it does it and reads the answer back. You can stack a few things into one sentence and it’ll handle them together.
It shows you a confirm card first — “About to: …” — every single time, before anything is saved. Nothing is written until you tap Confirm, and every write is logged. Your crew can use it too, for clocking in and logging receipts.
No. It’s in the one flat price. Plenty of contractor software gates its AI behind a higher tier; there is no higher tier here.
Yes, without asking anyone. Settings has “Download everything I have” — your whole account in one spreadsheet file, including working links to your receipt images and job photos. More detail on the your data page.
It stamps GPS at the moment a worker clocks in and the moment he clocks out — and nothing in between. No background tracking. Workers are told this plainly in the app and in the privacy policy.
No. A worker’s app shows his own hours and his own jobs. Pay rates, job profit and client information are the owner’s side of the app.
No, and it isn’t trying to. QuickBooks is your accountant’s books, after the fact. JobTally tells you what a job is making while you can still do something about it, then exports clean totals at tax time. See JobTally vs QuickBooks.
Those are quote-and-invoice tools built around booking work, and they charge per user. JobTally is built around one question — am I making money on this job right now? — at one flat price. Side by side: vs Jobber · vs Housecall Pro.
Small contractors running roughly 1–10 guys — remodelers, decks, roofing, concrete, landscaping, excavation, GCs. If you’re big enough to have a controller and a project manager, you’re past what this is for.
One person, in New York, who answers his own email. That’s the honest answer — it means fast fixes and a real human on the other end, and it’s also why your data can be exported and deleted by you, on your own, at any hour.
The demo is the real thing with sample numbers — no signup, no card.
