Quotes, invoices, scheduling, timesheets and photos of the work in one app — so the estimate, the receipts and the pictures all live on the same job.
Free to try. Works on iPhone and any web browser.
How work flows through
Every job follows the same path. Business Buddy keeps it moving so nothing falls through the cracks between a phone call and a paid invoice.
Clients reach you through your public request form — every lead lands in the app.
Build professional bids with line items, then send a polished PDF by email or text.
Put the job on the calendar, assign your crew, and text clients "on my way."
Convert the estimate to an invoice in one tap — same numbers, zero retyping.
Record checks, ACH, Zelle and more. Automatic follow-ups chase the slow payers.
The paperwork, handled
Send documents that look like they came from a firm ten times your size — your logo, your brand colour, your choice of three professional templates.
Your whole pipeline in one place — what's out, what's won, and what it's all worth. When a bid lands, convert it straight into a project or an invoice.
Your crew shoots from their phones and it files itself to the right job — not a group text, not a camera roll, not a fourth app you're paying for.
Jobs, quotes, bids and invoices in a single place. Browse the lot when you don't know what you're after, or type a name, a number or an address when you do.
Week and day views, crew assignments, directions to the site, and one-tap "on my way" texts.
Crew clock in and out from their phones; you see hours by person, day and job.
Snap a receipt with the camera and it's filed against the job before you leave the counter.
A public request form for your website or business card — new leads become bids in one tap.
Walkthroughs, safety checks and punch lists your foremen can tick off on site.
One search across projects, bids, invoices and contacts — find anything in seconds.
Who sees what
Most job software gives everyone the same screen and hopes nobody scrolls. Business Buddy gives each person the tools for their job and nothing else — and it's enforced on our servers, not hidden in the app. There's no screen to scroll to, no export to find, no link to guess.
You
The whole business, no restrictions.

Your crew
Everything to run the day. Nothing about the money.
Your crew
Built to price work, not to read the books.
Need an exception? Grant or revoke a single permission on one person — a foreman who does need to see the budget, an estimator who shouldn't touch clients.
Pricing
You pay for seats, not for features. Quoting, invoicing, payments, scheduling, timesheets, photos and job costing are in both plans — the only difference is how many people it seats.

CompanyCam does photos; Jobber does quotes, scheduling and invoicing. Business Buddy does both, so the last column is the honest comparison. Prices are their published month-to-month rates as of July 2026 including their per-user charges — CompanyCam $34 a seat, Jobber $29. Every Jobber plan starts at one user. We compare against their Connect plan, not their cheaper Core, because Core has no checklists, no QuickBooks sync, no time or expense tracking and no automated follow-ups — all of which are in our Solo plan. Jobber currently runs an introductory rate for the first three months; the figures above are what you pay from month four onward.
Prices in USD. Subscriptions are billed through the App Store and can be managed or cancelled there — the prices above are the App Store prices, which include Apple's fee. Paying us directly will be cheaper ($69.99 and $149 a month); we'll say so here the day that's available. Already on the original $69.99 plan? You keep it, with your whole team, for as long as you stay subscribed.
Questions
Why this exists
I own a construction company, and I've run a few other businesses on the side. Every one of them had the same problem: there was never one app that was actually good enough.
One app handled the field work. Something else did the accounting. The jobsite photos lived somewhere else again. None of them talked to each other, so the estimate, the receipts, the hours and the pictures of the work all sat in different places — and it was on me to remember which was which.
That's the part that actually breaks. Not the apps. You start with three, and a few months in somebody quietly stops using one, and now a chunk of your job history is stranded in a login nobody opens. You find out the day a client disputes something and you're digging through your phone at 9pm. It just gets messy.
So Business Buddy is one app. Quotes and invoices, the crew's hours, the receipts, and the jobsite photos — all tied to the job, so nothing ends up somewhere you forgot about.
It's new, and it's me building it. You won't find a wall of five-star reviews on this page, because we haven't earned them yet and I'm not going to make them up. What you get instead is a 30-day trial with nothing switched off, and a "Request a Feature" button in the app that comes straight to me. Several things in here exist because someone asked for them.
If it doesn't fit how you work, cancel in the App Store and you're done. No call, no retention offer, no hard feelings.
