Run your trade free — no Jobber subscription.
Searching for a free alternative to Jobber? Workeey runs your whole day — schedule, invoices, payment reminders, and card or bank payments — on a free plan that never expires. It's built for the one-person trade in a truck, not an office full of desks. No card, no trial clock.
Why solo trades outgrow Jobber's price
Jobber is solid software, no argument. But it was built for shops with an office manager and a crew out in trucks, and it's priced for exactly that — a monthly bill per user, with no permanent free plan, just a trial that eventually runs out. For a one-person plumbing, electrical, or handyman business, being asked to pay a team's price before you've even sent your first invoice is a genuinely hard sell.
So people go searching for a free alternative to Jobber — something that does the real work without the standing subscription hanging over every job. That's the gap Workeey fills. It's a free plan that doesn't expire, built pocket-first for the person actually turning the wrench, not the office watching from a desk. You get the tools to run a real business, and you get them without handing over a card to start.
Free Workeey vs a paid Jobber plan
What you get on the free plan, next to what Jobber charges for.
| Workeey | Jobber | |
|---|---|---|
| Price for one person | Free $0 · Pro $5 a month · Premium $19 a month | From $49 a month, month to month, for one user; lower with a yearly commitment |
| Free plan | Yes — free forever, no card: unlimited invoicing, 10 automatic payment reminder texts and 23 quick estimates a month | No — a 14-day free trial, then a paid plan |
| Invoicing | Unlimited on every plan; a finished job becomes an invoice in one tap and is emailed from the app | Yes, on every paid plan, with quoting and deposits |
| Online payments | Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and US bank transfer through your own Stripe, on the free plan too; a small processing fee applies | Yes — clients pay by card online |
| Estimates | 23 quick estimates a month on Free, unlimited on Pro; sent as a quote PDF with a deposit, and one tap turns it into the invoice | Yes — full quotes with their own approval flow |
| Scheduling | Yes — the day in time slots, repeating jobs, and a route to the next client | Yes, plus dispatching for a team of techs |
| Google Calendar sync | On Pro: jobs go into their own Workeey calendar in Google, and a time you move in Google writes back | One-way: a read-only feed out to Google; changes made in Google don't come back |
| QuickBooks sync | On Pro and Premium: customers, invoices, payments and expenses go into QuickBooks Online | Yes, on its higher plans (not the entry plan) |
| Built for | One- or two-person trades running the business from a phone | Growing companies with crews to dispatch, online booking and a back office |
| Phone app | Android app on Google Play; runs in any phone's browser too | Yes — iPhone and Android apps |

What 'free' actually means here
Free in Workeey isn't a countdown trial that locks up in two weeks. It's a plan you can genuinely run your business on: your day's schedule with time slots, clients with full history, backed-up job photos, one-tap invoicing, and payment reminders that text your clients until they actually pay. Connect your own Stripe and you can take card or US bank payments on the free plan too — the money side works from day one.
The limits are counts, not locked doors. The free plan sends 10 automatic reminder texts a month (Pro 30, Premium unlimited), keeps 1 GB of job photos, and writes 23 quick estimates a month; QuickBooks and Google Calendar sync come with Pro. That's the ceiling — no locked screens, no 'upgrade to send an invoice.' You get the whole field workflow first, and you only pay when your volume genuinely outgrows the free plan. See pricing for exactly what each tier adds.
The job-to-paid flow, no card required
The heart of Workeey is turning a finished job into money, and all of it is on the free plan. One tap builds an invoice from the job — client, line items, tax rate, and the job photos carry over as proof of the work you did. It's numbered automatically, and you email it before you leave the driveway. No signal down in the basement? The invoice queues itself and sends the moment you're back in range.
Once it's out, Workeey chases payment so you don't spend your evenings on it. Automatic reminder texts go to the client on a schedule until the invoice is paid — you pick the tone once. With Stripe connected, every invoice carries a pay link for card or US bank transfer, and you watch money owed and money paid stack up per client. Every text carries the pay link, and they run on the free plan.
Where free Workeey beats a paid Jobber seat
A free plan that out-features a paid one sounds backwards, but the AI makes it true. The AI on every screen doesn't just write for you — it runs the app. Say "book the water heater Thursday at 2 and invoice yesterday's job" and it does both. Ask it to text a reminder, log a receipt, build an estimate from your rates, or find what you charged a client last time, by typing or talking. It comes with the free plan.
It works offline too: write the invoice in a basement with no signal and it goes out when you're back in range. And you can try the entire app in one tap with guest mode: a username and your trade, no account, no card. Poke around a real, working app with real screens before you commit a single thing. Most 'free' software won't even let you look first.
- An AI that runs the app for you
- One-tap invoicing with photo proof
- Offline invoice queue
- Automatic text payment reminders
- Stripe card & bank payments
- Voice typing in every field
- One-tap guest-mode trial
The honest limits (and when to pay)
No tricks, so here's the fine print stated plainly and up front. The free plan caps payment reminders at 10 a month. QuickBooks and Google Calendar sync live on the paid plans. If you want more reminder texts going out, your jobs in Google Calendar, or your invoices pushed automatically into QuickBooks, that's the point where Pro or Premium starts earning its keep — and not a day sooner than that.
Everything else — scheduling, unlimited invoicing, routing to your next job, client history, backed-up photos, and the AI — is on the free plan exactly as it is. The idea was never to cripple the free tier so you upgrade out of frustration. It's to let a solo trade run a genuine business at zero cost, and grow into a paid plan only when the volume honestly calls for it. That's the deal, with nothing hidden.
Start free in about a minute
You don't need a card or a sales call to start. Tap into guest mode and you see the whole app immediately, or make an account with just a username and your trade and you're already running it. Invoice your next job in a tap, switch on text reminders, connect Stripe, and get paid — all without a monthly subscription hanging over the top of every job you take.

Workeey also syncs into QuickBooks on the paid plans, so the numbers only get entered once. Either way, the free plan is the place to start — it doesn't expire, it doesn't ask for a card, and it does the real work.
Is Workeey really free?
Yes — the free plan is free forever, not a trial. It includes the full field workflow: scheduling, one-tap invoicing, client history, Stripe payments, and 10 automatic reminder texts a month. You only pay if you want more reminders, more storage, or QuickBooks and Google Calendar sync.
What's the catch on the free plan?
The honest limits: reminder texts are capped at 10 a month, quick estimates at 23 a month, and QuickBooks and Google Calendar sync are on Pro. Everything else — schedule, invoicing, routing, payments, photos and the everyday AI — works on the free plan.
Can I try Workeey without signing up?
Yes. Guest mode lets you open the whole app in one tap with just a username and your trade — no account, no card. You can see every real screen before you decide to make an account.
How is this different from Jobber's free trial?
Jobber has no permanent free plan — only a trial that expires and then asks for payment. Workeey's free plan doesn't run out. You can keep using it for as long as your volume fits the free tier.
Does the free plan let me get paid?
Yes. Connect your own Stripe and every invoice carries a pay link, so clients pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or US bank transfer. A small processing fee applies to online payments, and you choose whether you cover it or add it to the client's total.
What does Workeey do that Jobber doesn't?
The standout is the AI: tell it what you need, typing or talking, and it books the job, makes the invoice, texts the reminder or builds the estimate for you. Workeey also has a free plan that never expires and guest mode to try it in one tap. For the full comparison, see Workeey vs Jobber.
