Better Than Jobber for Proposal Work — Free Calculators That Show Their Work
Jobber is great at scheduling techs, dispatching trucks, and invoicing jobs that already got closed. That is not the same problem as winning the job. If the frustration is sending a quote through Jobber and watching it sit, the lever isn't a different FSM — it is the proposal itself: pricing shape, proof placement, follow-up cadence. Reise has the free pricing calculators contractors use to set a rate that actually holds, and a founder-led proposal teardown that rebuilds the document around how the buyer actually decides.
What makes Reise different
- Shows its math step by step so you can audit every number.
- Always free, with no account wall between you and the estimate.
- Built for 1099 contractors who need practical planning, not vague averages.

FAQ
Is Reise a replacement for Jobber?
No. Jobber is field service management — scheduling, dispatch, invoicing. Reise is for the part Jobber does not really touch: the pricing math behind your quote and the proposal document that has to close it. Keep Jobber for ops; use Reise for the pricing and the proposal.
Why do proposals sent through Jobber stall?
Usually because the document reads like a work order, not a decision aid. A buyer comparing three quotes needs to see the scope, the why behind the price, and the proof that you'll show up. If that story is buried, the cheapest line wins by default. A free Proposal OS audit at /proposal-os/free-audit will point out exactly what's missing.
What pricing calculators make sense for a Jobber user?
Contractor break-even (the rate you need to clear after overhead, equipment, and unpaid time) and project profitability (what you actually earned after callbacks and admin). Both are free, show every formula, and give you defensible numbers to put in the next Jobber quote.
Can I get a proposal audit without leaving Jobber?
Yes. The free Proposal OS audit takes a pasted proposal or PDF — you can copy yours straight out of Jobber. You get a three-fix breakdown back by email, usually within 24 hours, no call required.
