FieldAware vs JobProgress
JobProgress scores 6.0/10 vs 5.5/10. Best for: Roofing and exterior remodeling contractors who need project-based workflow management from lead to completion.
JobProgress scores higher overall at 6.0/10 vs 5.5/10. JobProgress is a niche tool built for roofing and exterior remodeling contractors who manage projects, not recurring service calls. Its workflow and material ordering features are tailored for that use case. However, the migration to Leap creates uncertainty, and the value proposition has been questioned. If you are a roofer, evaluate this alongside AccuLynx and Leap. If you do service work like HVAC or plumbing, this is not the right platform.

What the pricing really means
At first glance, FieldAware looks cheaper at $45/month vs $55/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.

Who is each product built for?
FieldAware
Target: 10-200+ technicians
FieldAware has been through ownership changes and it shows. The GPS Insight acquisition adds fleet tracking value, but the core field service platform has fallen behind competitors in usability and customer satisfaction. With a Capterra score of 3.3, user frustration is real. Unless you specifically need GPS Insight fleet tracking bundled with FSM, there are better options at every price point.
JobProgress
Target: 2-30 employees
