Northfork Trades vs Jobber
A Jobber alternative for small crews
Jobber is a big, well-built field service platform used across dozens of trades. Northfork Trades is smaller and built for mountain-town trades: tree care, snow removal, yard care, cleaning, junk removal, handyman and small-engine repair, priced so a crew of eight pays one flat price. Here is how they compare, plainly.
Ryan, founder. Marine veteran, lives in the Colorado mountains. No contract, from $49 a month.

The difference
Where Northfork Trades is different
- You talk to the founder
- Northfork Trades is veteran-owned and run from a mountain town in Colorado. Questions go to the person who builds it.
- Texts and weather warnings included
- Booked, reminder and on-the-way texts, storm-route texts customers can answer SKIP, and a plain weather warning when a scheduled job is at risk. All in every plan, for customers who agreed to texts.
- Your website and email on every plan
- Every plan includes a website built from your services, prices, towns, photos and reviews, with online booking, and emails to your customers from your own domain.
- Your whole crew, one price
- Northfork Trades plans include a set number of users (2, 8 or 25) at one flat price. Adding the fifth or sixth person does not change your bill.
- Screens for the work you do
- Tree estimates price terrain, climbers and dump fees; snow plans run by the storm; cleaning prices by room and condition; junk removal by the truck load. You only see the screens for your kinds of work.
Fair is fair
When Jobber is the better pick
We would rather you pick the right tool than switch twice.
- You want customers to pay in full the moment they book. With Northfork Trades customers book online and see the price, and you confirm the time before anything is charged.
- Your trade is not one Northfork Trades has screens for (tree care, snow removal, yard care, cleaning, junk removal, handyman and small-engine repair). Jobber covers far more trades.
- You want a large marketplace of add-ons and integrations. Northfork Trades connects to Stripe and QuickBooks Online.
Pricing
One price for your whole crew
Every plan comes with your own website at northfork.app, online booking, and emails to your customers from your own domain. Crew and Company can put the website on a domain you already own.
