Comparison
VisitPro vs Jobber for a service company operating in Spain
Direct answer
VisitPro is a field service app built for Spanish service companies: pool, cleaning, landscaping, property maintenance and keyholding. Jobber is a mature, well-established tool built first for the United States and Canada. The difference that matters is not the feature count, it is who each product was designed around. VisitPro assumes the property owner is not in the country, so it is organised around before/after photo proof that reaches the owner automatically, in their own language. VisitPro invoices too, registered with AEAT through the Verifactu add-on, but it does not collect payment: if you need the money taken inside the same tool, Jobber is ahead.
Where the difference actually is
The Jobber column summarises their public positioning and home market, not a feature audit. Their product moves as much as ours does: check their site before you decide.
| Where it matters | VisitPro | Jobber |
|---|---|---|
| Market it was designed forVisitPro | Spain and the Mediterranean coast. The first customers were pool and property maintenance companies on the Costa Blanca, and the product was built around how they work. | The United States and Canada first, then outward. A solid international product, but not a Spanish one. |
| Invoicing in SpainVisitPro | Signed quotes and agreements, plus a fiscal-grade invoice registered with AEAT through Verifactu (a paid add-on): numbering series, QR on the PDF, rectificativas and cancellation. | It issues invoices, but they do not meet Spanish requirements: without the AEAT registration that Verifactu (RD 1007/2023) requires. A Spanish gestor will not accept one as a fiscal invoice. |
| Payments and accountingJobber · Advantage | No payment collection: the owner pays the company directly using the instructions on the invoice. No ledger and no accounting sync. | One of their strengths: card payment from the invoice and syncing to accounting are core product. |
| Maturity and ecosystemJobber · Advantage | A young product. Fewer integrations, less third-party material, fewer public reviews. | Years in market, a large customer base, and an integration and community footprint well beyond ours today. |
| Proof of service for the ownerVisitPro | The centre of the product. Before/after photos per visit, a PDF report generated and sent without anyone writing it, and a revocable public link to the property history that needs nothing installed. | Covers job photos and notes inside a flow built primarily around quoting, doing the work and getting paid. |
| Product languagesVisitPro | Spanish, English and Dutch across the app, the portal, transactional email and push. Visit notes and photo captions are additionally translated into each reader language. | Oriented to English-speaking markets. Worth checking their Spanish coverage before you commit. |
| How the report reaches the customerVisitPro | Automatic email with the PDF, a public link, a push notification if the owner uses the app, and one-tap WhatsApp share from the technician phone. | Email and SMS as the usual channels, plus their own client hub. |
| PriceComparable | In EUR, per company, published on the site. | Priced for its home markets. Check their current regional pricing. |
Stated plainly
Where Jobber is genuinely better
Jobber has been in market for years and it shows. More integrations, more people writing about it, more templates, more solved edge cases, and a customer base we do not have. If your buying criterion is "do not leave me alone with a young product", that concern is fair and Jobber answers it better.
More importantly, Jobber closes the money loop. Card payments, direct debit and accounting sync are part of their product. VisitPro raises the invoice but does not collect: the owner pays outside the tool. If you want one tool that runs the work and also takes the money, Jobber covers that today and we do not.
The useful question is not which one has more features
A maintenance company in Torrevieja, Marbella or Ibiza does not work like one in Ohio. The customer does not live at the property. They are usually in the UK, Germany, Belgium or Scandinavia, they visit for three weeks a year, and the rest of the time they pay for something they never see.
That single fact changes the whole product. Recording the work internally stops being enough: you have to prove it outward, in a format the owner understands, in their language, through the channel they use. That is what VisitPro does by default, without anyone writing a report.
Decisions that only make sense if you work here
These are not loose features. They are consequences of designing the product against real Spanish operators.
The report translates itself
The technician writes the note in Spanish. The German owner reads it in German and the British owner in English, with the original one tap away. Translation happens when the visit is saved, not when someone remembers.
Agreements can be issued in German
Commercial documents support Spanish, English, Dutch and German, because on the Costa Blanca the person signing is frequently a German-speaking owner.
Urbanización is a field, not a note
Properties carry an urbanización field, because addresses here are identified by the residential development rather than a street number. The spreadsheet importer recognises that column.
Map pins get audited
Geocoding a coastal urbanización lands the pin at the entrance to the complex, not at the villa. VisitPro compares the stored pin against where technicians actually stood and flags the ones that are wrong.
WhatsApp first
Sharing the report over WhatsApp is one tap from the technician phone, because that is the channel both the company and the customer already use.
Spanish invoicing: Verifactu
Jobber invoices, but it invoices for the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. It does not produce an invoice that meets Spanish requirements and has nothing to do with AEAT, so in Spain its invoice stays a commercial document your gestor reissues.
VisitPro raises the invoice from work that already happened, with its own numbering series and PDF, and an accepted service agreement produces the monthly draft. With the Verifactu add-on (RD 1007/2023) each invoice is registered with AEAT at issue, the PDF carries the required QR code, and rectificativas R1 to R5 and cancellation are covered.
What we do not do is accounting or collection. No general ledger, no bank reconciliation, no modelo 303 filing, and the owner does not pay inside VisitPro. Verifactu is a paid add-on; the price is shown when you take it.
What it does not do
What VisitPro does not do, stated up front
If any of these is a hard requirement, better to find out now than three months in.
- No payment collection and no accounting. Invoices are issued and registered with AEAT through the Verifactu add-on, but there is no general ledger, no bank reconciliation, no modelo 303 filing and no TicketBAI integration.
- Owners cannot pay through VisitPro. The invoice carries the payment instructions; the money arrives in your bank.
- No inventory or stock control.
- No payroll. Shift clock-in, clock-out, breaks and the team timesheet exist; wages and payslips do not. Check-in also happens per job.
- No water chemistry module with target ranges or alerts. Readings are captured as custom fields the company defines.
- No server-side WhatsApp sending: the share happens from the technician phone.
- No background location. The live map only receives positions while the technician has the app open.
Frequently asked questions
Is VisitPro compliant with Spanish e-invoicing or Verifactu?
Yes, with the Verifactu add-on. VisitPro issues fiscal-grade invoices and, with that add-on (RD 1007/2023), registers them with AEAT at issue, with the QR code on the PDF and rectificativas R1 to R5. There is no TicketBAI integration. Accounting stays with your software or your gestor.
Can I use VisitPro if I already invoice somewhere else?
Yes. VisitPro can raise the invoice, but nothing forces it: if you would rather keep invoicing where you do today, VisitPro takes the operational side (scheduling, the daily route, visits, photos, issues and the report to the owner).
Does it genuinely work in Spanish, or is it a translation layer?
The app, the manager portal, transactional emails and push notifications ship in Spanish, English and Dutch at product level. On top of that, visit notes and photo captions are translated automatically into each recipient language, with the original available.
What size of company is it for?
Teams of roughly one to twenty technicians. A sole operator and a twenty-van company both fit well. A hundred-vehicle operation running ERP processes is not our ground.
Is Jobber the better choice in some cases?
Yes. If you need payment collection inside the same tool, or if maturity and integration breadth weigh heavily in your decision, Jobber covers that better than we do today. For invoicing in Spain the comparison reverses: their invoice is not valid before AEAT.
Why it is built for Spain
VisitPro is built by a founder based in Spain who works this market from both sides: running a pool service company here, and having been the property owner hiring pool companies for their own home. Every decision on this page comes from doing the work and from being the customer, not from market research.
