Built for handymen & small trade crews

Your customers already have the app.
It's called texting.

JobTexta texts your customers the day before every job so they can confirm, change or cancel with one word. Tap on my way to send your ETA. Get a star rating when you're done. No-shows, gone.

How it works

Three texts. Zero chasing.

Restaurants have been confirming bookings by text for years. Now your trade business can too - without a receptionist.

  1. 01

    Add the job in 20 seconds

    Customer, what, when, where. That's it. JobTexta schedules the confirmation text for 5 PM the day before - automatically.

  2. 02

    They confirm by reply. You do nothing.

    Customers reply YES, CHANGE or CANCEL. Their answer lands on the job instantly. Photos they text in attach to the job too.

  3. 03

    Tap “on my way”, pick a time

    No GPS, no tracking, no battery drain. You choose 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes and we send the text from your business number.

What you get

Everything a one-van business needs. Nothing it doesn't.

We deliberately left out invoicing, quoting, GPS tracking and 400 settings. JobTexta does one job brilliantly: keeping you and your customers on the same page.

Automatic day-before confirmations

Sent at 5 PM the day before, every job, from your business number. Reply YES, CHANGE or CANCEL - the job updates itself.

YES→Confirmed
CHANGE→Needs rescheduling
CANCEL→Slot freed up

“On my way” in one tap

Pick 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 minutes. No location services - you stay in control, your battery stays full.

Feedback after every job

A 1–5 rating request goes out when you mark the job done. Ratings sit against the job and customer.

Customers text in photos

“Here's the leak.” Any photo sent to your number attaches itself to the matching job in the app.

Up to 5 on a team

Add or remove handymen from the app. Each one gets their own jobs, confirmations and ETA texts.

Work for more than one business

Subcontracting for two outfits? Switch accounts from the menu. Jobs never get mixed up.

Nothing for customers to install

Works on every phone ever made. If it can get a text, it works with JobTexta.

No apps, no portals, no logins

Customers never see a link, a password or a download. Just a text from someone they hired.

Templates you can edit

Change the wording of any message. Keep it short, keep it you.

From the van

Built with handymen, not for “field service.”

“I used to lose maybe two jobs a week to people forgetting. Now they text YES the night before and I actually know what tomorrow looks like.”
IMIan M.Handyman, Richmond
“The on-my-way button is the thing. Customers stopped ringing to ask where I am. Ten bucks is nothing.”
DKDave K.Property maintenance, 3-man crew
“My customers are mostly over 60. They would never download an app. Texting back a word? They do it every time.”
PSPriya S.Home repairs, Footscray

Pricing

Ten bucks. Less than one no-show.

One missed job costs you more than a year of JobTexta. There are no tiers, no per-text surprises and no contracts. Add a handyman, pay another $10. Remove them, stop paying.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something else? Email support@jobtexta.com. A human reads it.

Do my customers need to install anything?

No. Everything happens over normal text messages from your dedicated JobTexta number. If their phone can receive a text, it works.

What happens when a customer replies CHANGE?

The job is flagged as “Needs rescheduling” and you get a push notification. You tap the job, pick a new time, and a fresh confirmation goes out. The customer's reply stays attached to the job.

Does the “on my way” text use my location?

Never. We don't ask for location permissions. You pick 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes and we send exactly that. You're in control of what the customer sees.

What's included in 500 texts?

Both directions - texts we send and texts customers send back. A typical job uses 4–6 texts (confirmation, reply, on-my-way, feedback, rating). 100 jobs fits comfortably inside 500 texts.

Can one handyman work for two businesses?

Yes. A handyman can be added to multiple accounts and switches between them from the Menu. Jobs, numbers and billing stay completely separate.

How does the team / 5-person limit work?

The account owner adds handymen by phone number from the app. Each handyman is $10/month and gets their own 100 jobs and 500 texts. Remove someone and billing stops at the end of the month.

Is there a contract?

No. Monthly, cancel from the app anytime. Your 14-day trial doesn't need a card.
