FAQ

Common questions

Short answers about job costing, Free, and what this is not.

See all
How is job costing different from getting paid?

Getting paid is the invoice. Job costing is estimate vs actual on the same job — bid, actual, margin $, margin %, hours over/under — so you know cost per job before you bid again. CostPerJob does the second job.

Do I need to leave my invoice app?

No. Invoice apps get you paid. CostPerJob shows estimate vs actual on the same job.

What does Free include?

10 open jobs — estimate → log → scorecard — and the last 10 closed cards. CSV of what’s on screen is included. Pro at $29/mo unlocks full ranked history. Billed monthly. There is no annual toggle.

Who is CostPerJob built for?

Contractors — plumbers, HVAC, electricians, and handymen who want closed-job truth.
