Bobster vs the rest

We don't replace your job software. We sit in front of it.

Tradify, Powered Now, Jobber — they all give you a nice form to type a reply into. Bobster writes the reply for you, before you even open the app. Then you decide where the job goes next.

The honest version

Tradify is a platform. Bobster is a layer.

Tradify, Jobber, Powered Now

Quote → schedule → invoice

Built for the desk-time after the work day. Lots of buttons, lots of menus, lots of capability. Brilliant if you have an office or a partner doing admin.

Cost: £34–£60/user/month. Setup: hours.

Bobster

Reply to the enquiry. Win the job.

The 30 seconds between an enquiry landing and you booking the work. AI reads the email, drafts a reply in your voice at your rates, you tap approve from the van.

Cost: less than a case of beers. Setup: 5 minutes.

Use them together

Bobster catches the enquiry, replies in seconds, books the work. Then you push the job into Tradify or Jobber for the quote, schedule, and invoice. Best of both. We're not trying to replace the platform you already love.

Honesty section

Things Bobster doesn't do.

Invoicing
Push the job into Xero, Tradify, or QuickBooks. We don't compete with the bookkeeping you already have.
Scheduling
Bobster proposes times in the reply. You confirm with the customer. If you want a calendar grid with drag-and-drop, that's Tradify's job.
Team management
Built for the sole trader and small firm (1-3 people). If you have 20 techs and need GPS dispatch, you need ServiceTitan.
Voice calls
Bobster does email and (soon) WhatsApp. Voice receptionist is a different product.

We're a focused tool that does one thing brilliantly. If you want one app to run the whole business, Tradify or Jobber is your answer. If you want to stop losing work to slow replies, you want Bobster.

Try it for a week.
Keep your existing software.

Bobster slots in front of whatever you already use. Email comes in, Bobster replies, you tap approve. The job ends up in Tradify, Xero, or your shoe box exactly like before.
