Jobber is a big North American platform with marketing and AI receptionist add-ons, priced in US dollars and set up by you. FlashBooked is the same joined-up idea built and supported in Ireland, set up for you, with Irish VAT, Eircodes and trade paperwork on your board.
Free demo. No obligation. We'll tell you honestly if Jobber suits you better.
Details checked against Jobber's public website, November 2026.
Jobber is built for North America. That shows up in a few places.
Plans and add-ons are listed in dollars on its site, and the add-ons for marketing and AI call answering stack on top of the plan.
Irish VAT rates, Eircode routing, Safe Electric certs, NC6 and SEAI grant steps are yours to set up, if they fit at all.
Jobber centres on two-way SMS. Irish customers mostly message on WhatsApp and Facebook, and those need to land on the same board.

Jobber details from its public pricing page, checked November 2026. Plans change, so check there for current details. Jobber is a trademark of its owner.
Jobber has a large ecosystem, a polished app, a marketing add-on and its own AI receptionist add-on. For bigger teams who want a large marketplace of integrations and are happy to configure it, it is a strong platform.
FlashBooked offers the same joined-up idea, but set up for you and supported from Ireland. Your board uses your own stages, WhatsApp and Facebook enquiries land beside calls and web forms, quotes are followed up automatically, Irish VAT and Eircodes are built in, and lead ads and AI call answering are part of the plan levels rather than extra add-ons.
We bring your clients and open jobs across from a Jobber export, connect Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, and your team keeps working while we set it up.

No big-bang migration. You keep working the whole time.
We look at how enquiries, quotes and jobs move through your business today, and where they slip.

Customers and open jobs come across from your current tool; most can export them as a spreadsheet.
Phone, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and your website start landing on the board.
Invoices flow into Sage, Xero or QuickBooks, so your accountant's setup doesn't change.
Each crew member gets their own login for job sheets, photos, safety checks and timesheets.
We keep adjusting the board, follow-ups and templates as your business changes.
Stages, templates, automations and integrations configured around your business, not left to you.
Safe Electric certs, NC6 to ESB Networks and SEAI grant steps tracked on the job where your trade needs them.
WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, texts, calls and web forms in one pipeline.
Instant first replies, callback targets and quote follow-up until there's a decision.
Leads from your own Facebook and Instagram ads land straight on your board as new enquiries.

Labour and materials against the price, so you can see what each job actually made.
Talk to the person who set up your board, not a ticket queue.
