“There’s been times where customers have paid us, we hit ‘instant payout’ and got the money the same day. It makes a difference between getting a piece of equipment fixed, or being able to take care of some of your payroll if cash flow is tight.”
Mobile technician tools

Jobber’s mobile app is rated much higher than RealGreen’s on both iOS and Android, and it gives techs practical tools for quoting, job notes, photos, time tracking, invoices, and payments in the field.

INVOICING & PAYMENTS IN THE FIELD
Built for how you actually work
RealGreen is a strong fit when your business needs green-industry specific controls. Jobber is the better fit when you want a practical system your whole team can use every day—with transparent pricing, stronger mobile ratings, and connected workflows for the office and field.
Get paid faster from the field
Jobber offers Instant Payouts, while RealGreen users must wait for payments to clear.. That matters when cash flow is tight: your crew can collect payment on site, and eligible businesses can get funds faster instead of waiting on checks or office follow-up.
Service businesses using Jobber can get paid 4x faster collecting payment online through Jobber vs. waiting on checks.
Give crews a mobile app they’ll actually use
Jobber’s mobile app is rated 4.8/5 on the App Store and 4.4/5 on Google Play, while RealGreen’s mobile app is rated 1.5/5 on the App Store and 1.8/5 on Google Play.
For busy crews, a higher-rated mobile app can mean fewer delays when updating jobs, adding notes, invoicing, and keeping the office in sync.
Capture more work without more phone tag
Jobber offers online booking, two-way customer communication, and Jobber Receptionist, while RealGreen lists outbound SMS and a sales chatbot but does not offer an AI receptionist.
Respond faster when customers call, text, or request work—without hiring another person just to keep up with the phones. Jobber customers save 12+ hours a week on admin and get paid 3x faster.
