SoloOp and Jobber · Australia
A Jobber alternative, priced in Australian dollars.
Jobber publishes US-dollar prices only, and its Australian pricing page sends you to the US one. For a one-person round in Australia, that is a US$49 subscription moving with the exchange rate for tools SoloOp gives you for free.
Free core tools for Australian businesses. Bank Feeds: A$19 a month for 12 months on one of the first 50 founding spots, then A$39. Save a founding spot →

Start with the fit.
Jobber is a broad service-business platform: online booking, a website builder, an app marketplace, automated reminders and QuickBooks Online sync on Connect, time tracking and job costing on Grow. If your clients book online or you lean on those integrations, keep them in the decision. SoloOp centres on the operator’s run, invoicing and client records, in Australian dollars.

Checked against the app, not the brochure
What SoloOp does for an Australian business.
- Scheduling with Gravity: it suggests the day and slot for a new job, and Optimise route reorders a day as a round trip from home. Recurring jobs run weekly, fortnightly, three-weekly, monthly, six-weekly, bi-monthly, quarterly or six-monthly.
- Rain Mode moves a rained-out day in one go. Auto timers, an offline run sheet and locked start times are all in the free core.
- Quotes with line items and an Accept link, valid for 7, 14 or 30 days if you set it; accepting creates the job. A site visit before the quote is a one-tap $0 visit.
- Invoices carry your BSB and PayID. With a Stripe account connected (free to set up), clients can Pay Now by card, or by PayTo and BECS Direct Debit if you switch cards off, and AutoPay charges the clients who approve it. End of Day sends the day’s invoices in one batch; overdue reminders go out on a schedule.
- Client emails go from your own Gmail or Google Workspace address, invoices with the PDF attached.
- Expense records with a GST toggle, and a CSV bank-statement upload for matching transfers to invoices by hand.
- Mileage in kilometres for the ATO rate, included for Australian businesses today.
- Crews: owner, office and crew logins with no per-user fee; crew never see pay rates or margins.
- A BAS-ready accountant portal. For each quarter, on a cash or accrual basis: G1, 1A, 1B and the net in whole dollars as the form wants them, the full-BAS labels a click away, every paid invoice and every expense with its GST code behind the figures, kilometres at the ATO rate, refunds, and a BAS workpapers CSV. Your accountant can mark the period lodged. They sign in with their email; you can revoke it any time. They still lodge with the ATO.
- A profit and loss in the app that counts crew hours at their pay rate as a cost, with income, expenses and GST by period.
- A client portal for invoices, upcoming jobs, payment history and AutoPay. Clients and their schedules import from CSV, Excel, PDF or photos.
- Bank Feeds (A$19 a month for your first 12 months on one of the first 50 founding spots, then A$39): Osko, PayID and other bank transfers come in from your business account and are matched to your invoices.
Not in SoloOp: online booking, a website builder, an app marketplace, job costing, or a QuickBooks Online sync. If those are part of how you run, keep them in the decision.
Free core. Bank Feeds when you want them.
Scheduling, invoicing, quotes, client records, expense records with a GST toggle and the bank-statement upload stay free. Australian businesses absorb online payment processing fees: cards 1.7% + A$1.30 (A$0.80 fixed under A$50), PayTo and BECS 1% + A$0.80 capped at A$4.00. See the fee examples →
Bank Feeds, which bring Osko, PayID and other bank transfers in and match them to your invoices, are A$19 a month (incl. GST) for the first 12 months for the first 50 Australian businesses to save a card, then A$39 a month, which is also what new subscribers pay after launch. See the founding offer →
