Who each one fits

FieldEdge is a good fit if you want one app to run quotes, scheduling, invoicing and payments. If that is your main need, start there.

If your problem is the phone ringing while you are on a job, JobCatcher texts every missed caller in seconds, asks your trade questions and lets them book an open time. It does not do quotes, invoices or payments, so most shops use it next to a tool like FieldEdge.

Where JobCatcher is faster and easier

Faster to the customer. A missed caller gets a text in seconds, not a voicemail they may never leave.
Faster to a booked job. The caller answers your trade questions and picks an open time themselves, inside your hours.
Easier setup. Pick your trade, check your questions, and forward your missed calls. Most people finish in about five minutes, with no sales call.
Simpler price. A flat $39 or $79 a month, plus a one-time $35 activation that covers the carrier texting registration. No contract.

Common questions

Does JobCatcher replace FieldEdge?

No. FieldEdge is field service software aimed at HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies. JobCatcher does not do quotes, invoices or payments. It catches missed calls and books the job, and it works alongside software like FieldEdge.

Can I use JobCatcher with FieldEdge?

Yes, they do different jobs. JobCatcher texts back missed callers and books a time; you keep FieldEdge for the rest of your business. JobCatcher is not a direct integration, so you move confirmed jobs over yourself.

Do I need both?

Only if you want both jobs done. If you already run your business in FieldEdge, JobCatcher fills the gap of calls you cannot answer. If you only need missed calls handled, JobCatcher alone is simpler.
