Comparison
Jobber vs North Star
"I already use Jobber." Good. Jobber is software for scheduling, quoting, and invoicing jobs. North Star is the whole system your shop runs on: one Operations Hub for jobs, customers, and what you are owed, an Owner Dashboard for the numbers, and a Customer Portal so people can book, check, and pay online.

What Each Tool Handles
What North Star Gives You That One Tool Can't
One place for the whole shop
Your jobs, your schedule, your customers, and what you are owed all live in one Operations Hub. No jumping between a calendar tool, a spreadsheet, and a stack of paper to see where things stand.
The numbers, plain and simple
The Owner Dashboard shows you how the shop is really doing: jobs done, money in, money still owed. Built around the way you actually run, so you can see at a glance instead of digging through reports.
A portal your customers can use
People can book a job, check on it, and pay online through your Customer Portal. Less phone tag, fewer chasing-down-payment calls, and a smoother experience for the folks who hire you.
Built for you at one flat price
North Star is set up for the way your shop works, not a one-size-fits-all box. Flat monthly price, no per-tech fees, and no five-figure setup. Want phones answered too? That is an optional add-on, not the headline.
Jobber Runs the Jobs. North Star Runs the Business.
