The free Jobber alternative for cleaning businesses
Guildry gives Phoenix-area cleaning providers the same core workflow you would pay Jobber for — send a quote, schedule the job, invoice, and get paid — with no monthly subscription and no per-user fees. And it adds what Jobber does not sell at any price: platform-backed payment protection, Guildry’s outcome guarantee (up to $1,000 per job), and reviews that count only after real, completed, paid work.

Where Jobber genuinely wins
- A 24/7 AI front office. Jobber’s AI Receptionist answers calls and texts and books work while you are on a job, and Jobber Voice takes quotes by voice from the truck. Guildry does not offer this today.
- Deep workflow tooling — route optimization, GPS tracking, QuickBooks sync, financing, and a marketplace of 9,000+ integrations.
- Scale and maturity. Jobber reports 100,000+ paying customers (May 2026) and highly-rated mobile apps. If you run a larger crew or multiple trades, its scheduling and dispatch tooling is more mature than ours.
Where Guildry is different
- No subscription and no per-user tax on the 1–3-person shops Jobber’s pricing squeezes.
- Payment protection: the customer pays through Guildry and you are paid after the work is done. Jobber is just software and is not a party to the job.
- Guildry’s outcome guarantee, up to $1,000 per job — a selling point Jobber cannot give you.
- Reviews that count only after completed-and-paid work — no fake or self-solicited reviews.
- A consumer-facing brand: customers hire Guildry and see the accountability. With Jobber’s white-labeled portal, homeowners never know Jobber exists.
- Momentum you can steer: Guildry ships new features every week, and the roadmap is driven by the providers using it — ask for what you need and it gets built fast.
Who each is best for
Choose Guildry if…
Solo and small (1–3 person) Phoenix-area cleaning businesses who want the core quote-to-payment workflow for free, plus the trust and payment protection that win customers.
Choose Jobber if…
Established crews that need the deepest scheduling, dispatch, and integration tooling and a 24/7 AI front office — and do not mind the subscription and per-user fees.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Guildry really free?
- Yes, for the customers you add yourself — no subscription, no per-user fees and no Guildry fee. The only cost is card processing (about 2.9% + 30¢, Stripe’s rate, no markup), which you can pass to the customer, so it can even be $0 to you. On customers Guildry brings you, Guildry keeps a fee from what it pays you, shown to you before you take the job.
- Can I switch from Jobber to Guildry?
- Yes. Guildry covers the core Jobber workflow — quotes, scheduling, invoicing, and getting paid. Email hello@guildry.net and we will help you get set up.
- Does Guildry do everything Jobber does?
- No, and we are honest about that. Jobber has route optimization, thousands of integrations and an AI receptionist Guildry does not have today. We ship new features every week. Today Guildry focuses on the core workflow plus something Jobber cannot sell: payment protection, a guarantee on the work, and reviews that only count after completed-and-paid jobs.
- How does a free tool make money?
- Guildry earns a fee on customers it brings you, taken from what it pays you — never billed to you, never on customers you add yourself and never for a lead, and you see it before you take the job. There is no subscription, and your rate never goes up without 30 days’ written notice and your OK.
- Is Guildry available outside Phoenix?
- Guildry serves the Phoenix, Arizona metro. Providers join by invitation. More areas follow over time.
