What It Is

SimpleJob is a work order tracking tool for small trade and field service businesses, aimed at teams of 2–15 people such as plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general contracting crews. It is not positioned as a complex field service management suite. Instead, it focuses on solving practical problems like lost paper records, invoice disputes, and technicians not wanting to fill out software systems. Field staff can use a mobile browser to record hours, voice notes, and photos, while managers get a complete evidence trail when it is time to invoice.

Core Features

The product is built around “Track, Prove, Get Paid.” Frontline workers can clock time, add comments, and take photos, with photos and records timestamped and archived under the relevant work order. Voice comments can be organized by AI into professional work orders, while the one-click invoice summary reads the work order history and generates invoice-ready text. The page explicitly mentions that this can be copied into QuickBooks. It also offers a work order dashboard, customer-readable reports, multi-user records, and real-time viewing. One important highlight is offline capability: users can still record hours, comments, and photos when there is no signal. The data is saved on the device first and automatically synced once the network is restored.

Pricing and Trial

SimpleJob has transparent pricing, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Solo costs $99/month and includes 1 user and 5GB storage. Team costs $199/month and supports up to 5 users, 25GB storage, and priority email support. Business costs $299/month and supports up to 15 users, 100GB storage, and phone plus email support. All plans include unlimited work orders, AI voice comments, and AI invoice summaries. The pricing is fairly clear for the U.S. contractor market, though it may be on the expensive side for small construction crews in China.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a low learning curve and an emphasis on completing records within 30 seconds. Offline access makes it suitable for weak-signal environments such as basements and rural job sites. Photos, notes, and time records help with invoice dispute resolution, while AI reduces office admin work. The limitations are that public materials do not explain role permissions, approvals, APIs, native third-party integrations, encryption, backups, or compliance certifications. The maximum user limit is 15, which may not be enough for larger companies.

Who It’s For and Access from China

SimpleJob is best suited to small overseas field service teams that still use paper, whiteboards, or group chats to record work, especially teams that care about work order evidence and invoicing efficiency. Access from China is unknown, and payment methods are not disclosed. If network access, USD payments, or localization are key concerns, domestic teams in China could consider using WeCom or DingTalk together with tools such as Jiandaoyun or Yida to build work order and on-site evidence workflows.
