Selk vs Jobber: Built for Different Crews

Jobber is a good app — for the business it was built for. Selk was built for a different shop: the trade crew of 1–10 that runs everything from the truck.

Jobber fits home-service companies that grow into office staff, marketing add-ons and tiered plans. Selk is for the small crew that wants the whole job on one phone at one flat price.

Price, with a real crew

A contractor plus five workers on Selk pays $79/month flat — workers are free, forever, on every plan, and there are no paid add-on modules. A comparable five-person setup on Jobber’s Connect plan runs $199/month (regular monthly list price, checked October 22, 2026), before optional paid add-ons. Over a year that difference is about $1,440 — a decent tool budget.

The worker app

On Jobber, each team member is a user on your plan. Selk gives workers a separate, free app that shows only their own jobs, the address, the notes, their hours and their pay — never your prices, never another worker’s data. Workers clock in and out from the app, request time off, and see exactly what they’re owed. When a worker reaches the job, you get a smart arrival alert with the time — no live map of their drive.

Built for the field

Big buttons, voice input, keeps working without signal in basements and rural jobs, six languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Haitian Creole), van stock that deducts itself when a job is marked done, and license-expiry reminders 30 days out. That’s Selk’s home turf — it was designed on job sites by an electrician in Houston.

Where Jobber wins

Brand maturity, a larger integration marketplace, and marketing tools for companies ready to use them. If that’s your stage, Jobber is a fair choice. If you’re a crew of 1–10 that wants the whole job in one phone app at a flat price — that’s Selk.

Selk is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. The iPhone version is in testing now.
