The Jobber alternative built for construction money
Jobber is a polished, well-integrated field-service tool loved by home-service businesses. Simple Contractor CRM covers the same daily flow but adds the construction billing trades actually need.
Simple Contractor CRM (SCC) is a mobile-first CRM for small-to-mid trade and construction contractors that runs the full bid-to-paid workflow in one system: line-item estimates with live margin that become contracts, drag-and-drop scheduling, construction billing, and accounts-receivable tracking. SCC is in early access, so you can see what is real today before joining the waitlist.
Jobber is a strong, mature small-business field-service platform. It does quoting, scheduling, invoicing, a built-in CRM, a solid mobile app, and Jobber Payments, and it has a wide integration ecosystem including QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Square, and Zapier. For many home-service businesses it is an excellent, well-rounded choice.
Where the two diverge is construction money. Jobber is built around the service-call and quote-to-invoice rhythm. SCC is built for jobs that bill in stages, so progress draws, retainage, change orders, and deposits are first-class and on every plan, not something you work around.
Simple Contractor CRM is for
Trade and construction crews whose jobs bill in stages and need progress draws, retainage, and change orders as core, in one mobile-first system.

Jobber is a genuinely good product. If you run a home-service business and your jobs are quote-then-invoice, its maturity, polish, payments, and integration ecosystem make it a fair and often excellent choice today. We would not talk you out of it for that use case.
SCC's edge is for contractors whose money does not fit the single-invoice model. If you bill progress draws, hold retainage, and write change orders, those are built in on every plan, in one mobile-first system. Online payments arrive at launch and QuickBooks is on the roadmap, so weigh that timing against your needs — pricing is public from $35/mo, no sales call.
Frequently asked
- What does SCC do that Jobber doesn't?
- Construction billing. Progress draws, retainage, and change orders are first-class in SCC and available on every plan. Jobber is built around quote-to-invoice and does not handle staged construction billing the same way.
- Does SCC integrate with QuickBooks like Jobber?
- Not yet. QuickBooks integration is on the roadmap. Jobber has a QuickBooks Online integration today, so if accounting sync is essential right now, that is a real point in Jobber's favor.
- Can I take online payments in SCC?
- Online card payments are coming at launch. Today SCC records payments and tracks AR. Jobber has Jobber Payments live now, so for instant card acceptance Jobber is ahead at the moment.
- How much does SCC cost?
- Plans are public and start at $35/mo for a solo contractor, with seats added as you grow. You can see every price on the site without a sales call, and on Crew and Custom plans you also get tailored, prioritized change requests from the team that builds it.
