Compare · published prices only
Every price below comes from each company’s own pricing page, checked 27 October 2026. We only compare against companies that publish their prices. Ours are in Canadian dollars; theirs are in the currency they bill in.
Software only
Ready is our software: booking, quotes, invoices, payments and follow-ups. It’s priced against the solo plans below. The fair match is Jobber Connect, because that’s where Jobber adds automatic reminders and follow-ups.

Sources, checked 27 October 2026: Jobber pricing, Jobber marketing tools, Housecall Pro pricing, Square Appointments (Canada) pricing, Square Online (Canada) plans, ServiceM8 pricing. Monthly prices are before tax. US-dollar plans are charged in US dollars, so the Canadian cost moves with the exchange rate, and your card may add a foreign-transaction fee. Business email is extra everywhere: Google Workspace is US$7 per user a month (Google Workspace pricing). Prices change; we re-check this page every quarter.
Software + your papers kept current
No job app files your licence renewal or your WorkSafeBC reporting. Standing is Ready plus those filings, done by us in BC, with the government fees at cost.
