StreamsApp compared with Jobber

Jobber books the work. StreamsApp checks it was done

StreamsApp is not a field-service tool. It runs a process you write as stages, and each stage can refuse to let a job move on until what it needs is there. There is no scheduling or routing; what it adds is a process that cannot be skipped.

Side by side

Product features change. Check anything here against Jobber before you decide. Jobber prices and limits checked on 20 October 2026.

Can a stage refuse a job until something is attached?

Jobber: We could not confirm from Jobber's own pages whether a job can be blocked from moving on until a field is filled, so ask them.
StreamsApp: Yes, where you switch it on. Mark a field required at a stage and the job stays put until it has a value, and the person is told what is missing.

Can I design the stages myself?

Jobber: Built around quoting, scheduling and invoicing home-service work, which suits that work well.
StreamsApp: Yes. Each stream has its own stages, named and ordered by you, and you can run as many streams as you like on every plan.

Scheduling, routing and online booking?

Jobber: Yes, with route optimisation and online booking.
StreamsApp: No. None of these are built.

Phone app?

Jobber: iPhone and Android apps.
StreamsApp: Any phone browser, nothing to install. Needs a connection; no offline mode.

Customer portal?

Jobber: Yes, the client hub: customers approve quotes, check appointments and pay invoices.
StreamsApp: Yes, with no password: customers follow their own jobs step by step, see only the fields you choose, and reply from the page. No card payments.

Accounting and GST?

Jobber: QuickBooks Online sync from Connect. Xero is listed among its integrations.
StreamsApp: Quotes and invoices with Australian GST built in, syncing to Xero or QuickBooks.

Is there a free plan?

Jobber: No. A 14-day free trial of the Grow plan.
StreamsApp: Yes. Two users, every plugin, no card and no time limit.

How is it priced?

Jobber: In US dollars, plus tax where applicable. Core, one user, US$49 a month (US$29 billed annually). Connect for five users US$199 a month (US$149 billed annually). Extra users US$29 a month each. Introductory discounts apply for the first months.
StreamsApp: In Australian dollars, per organisation: Basic $29 for 5 users, Standard $79 for 20, Pro $199 for 50, a month.

Priced in US dollars

Jobber's pricing page, including the Australian one, quotes US dollars. Your bill moves with the exchange rate, so the cost of the same plan changes from month to month in Australian terms.

StreamsApp is priced in Australian dollars, per organisation, and your data is stored in Sydney. Jobber's numbers above are from its own pricing page on the date shown.

Not just the jobs

Jobber is built around one process: the home-service job. StreamsApp lets you write any number of them. The job itself, and also the warranty claim it might produce, the new starter's onboarding, the monthly safety inspection, the sales pipeline before a quote.

Each has its own stages and fields, they share one set of contacts, and every one of them can insist on what a stage needs before anything moves on.

How much of this you switch on is up to you

Nothing here is required until you say so. A new stream starts with no requirements at all, and a stage that asks for nothing lets a job straight through.

Most businesses end up running both kinds side by side. A compliance job can insist on the slab certificate, so it cannot reach the frame stage without one. A sales enquiry in the same account can have nothing required at all, because chasing a lead is not a process and a rule there is only friction.

That is the real difference. Not that the software is strict, but that you get to decide where it is, one stage at a time, and change your mind later without starting again.

See the difference

Turn the portal on for a stream, choose exactly which details customers see, and switch it on per customer. Every email you send from the job then carries a private link: no account, no password. They see the job step by step and can reply from the page, and the reply lands on the job.
