Job costing is half the job. Closing it is the other half.
Knowify is job management and job costing software for trade contractors such as electricians, plumbers, HVAC, painting, and concrete crews, with deep QuickBooks sync and AIA progress billing. It publishes three plans: Core at $99/mo billed annually ($149 month to month) with 1 user, Advanced at $329/mo billed annually ($399 month to month) with 10 users, and a quoted Enterprise plan. Extra users are $29/mo each, and service dispatch is a separate Service Pro add-on.
The short answer: Knowify is a strong fit for trade contractors who bid fixed-price, cost-plus, and AIA work and live in QuickBooks, while Revcore is built for residential crews that sell in the home, with an interactive presentation, Good / Better / Best quoting, and two-way texting included on every plan.
