Why contractors move to Booxt

Estimates in minutes, not days

Jobber makes you build the quote by hand. Booxt drafts a priced, phase-by-phase estimate from your texted job notes in ~90 seconds — sent before you leave the driveway.

Deposit paid from the estimate, not a portal

Booxt emails the estimate; the customer signs and pays the deposit right on that page — straight to your own Stripe. No portal login for your customer, and Booxt holds 0%.

Everything in one flat price

Jobber gates texting and its AI behind higher tiers and add-ons. Booxt is one $99 with the AI, texting, payments, and crew + sub dispatch all included.

In fairness: Jobber is genuinely deep for invoicing, scheduling, and dispatching large crews across many job types. Booxt is leaner and text-first — many contractors run Booxt for fast estimates and deposits.

Estimates in minutes. Paid in seconds.
