A JobTread alternative where crews are always free
JobTread charges for each internal user, including crew who track time. ServFlo counts only office users, and runs projects next to your service work.
The short version
JobTread is a construction management system with every feature in one plan: estimating, takeoff, budgets, change orders, AIA pay applications, portals for customers, subs and vendors, and warranty management. ServFlo suits contractors and remodelers who want projects alongside service calls and memberships, with crews unlimited and projects on Grow and up from $249 a month.
The short answer
Is there a JobTread alternative that doesn't charge for crew?
Yes. ServFlo never counts technicians or crew, and projects with change orders, budgets, subs, daily logs and selections are on Grow and up from $249 a month with 3 office users. JobTread is $199 a month plus $20 per internal user on monthly billing, and crew who track time count as internal users. JobTread goes deeper on construction, with takeoff and AIA pay applications.

Does JobTread have a free trial?
No. JobTread's pricing page says it does not offer a free trial and gives a 30-day money-back guarantee on monthly plans. ServFlo has a 14-day trial of Grow, which includes projects.
Is ServFlo cheaper than JobTread for a crew of 6?
Example: with 2 office people and 6 crew who clock time, JobTread counts 8 internal users, $339 a month on monthly billing or $271 a month billed yearly. ServFlo is $249/mo on Grow, because crew are never counted. If your crew only upload photos and daily notes, JobTread can make them free users.
Does ServFlo do takeoff or AIA billing?
No. ServFlo has quotes with options, progress invoices and change orders added to the contract, but no takeoff from plans and no AIA pay applications. JobTread lists both.
Can I run service calls and remodels in the same software?
In ServFlo, yes. A project is a job marked as a project, so service visits and project phases share one dispatch board, pricebook and set of invoices, and the crew uses one app for both.
