Spanstead vs Jobber
Spanstead vs Jobber
Jobber is a proven tool for quoting, scheduling and invoicing. Spanstead covers that same job and the operations behind it: fleet and equipment, inventory, worker records and time off, in a workspace that runs in English or Spanish for the office, the crew and your customers.
Spanstead is built for you if
- Your crew, your office or your customers work in Spanish.
- You track trucks, tools and stock and want them in the same system as the jobs.
- You need worker records, time off and credentials beside the schedule.
- You would rather not pay for separate apps for fleet, HR and inventory.

- Office app and crew app both available in Spanish
- Language chosen per person, not per company
- Estimates, invoices, completion certificates and photo reports in each customer's language

Fleet maintenance, tool check-out and inventory in the same system
In Spanstead
Vehicles, equipment and inventory are included from the Essentials plan, and they connect to the jobs that use them.
- Vehicle and equipment records, checked daily against NHTSA safety recalls for your vehicles' makes, models and years
- Tool check-out and return with custody, due-back dates and condition; a damaged return takes the tool out of service
- Maintenance history with vendor, cost and meter readings, and service and inspection due dates that flag the asset when they arrive
- Inventory and purchase orders, with materials used recorded against each job
In Jobber
Jobber's pricing page does not list equipment tracking, inventory or fleet maintenance on any plan. For vehicle tracking, Jobber's help center points to marketplace integrations such as Force Fleet Tracking.
