Resources/Compare/ECHOPS vs JobTread

Comparison

JobTread pricing and review, compared with ECHOPS

JobTread pricing starts at $199 a month for one internal user, plus a fee per extra user (checked October 16, 2026). JobTread is construction software for builders, remodelers, pool and outdoor living contractors, roofers and specialty contractors; ECHOPS competes with it.

The short answer

ECHOPS or JobTread: which one fits

ECHOPS vs JobTread is mostly a question of team size and the kind of work you sell. Both publish their prices. JobTread charges $199 a month for one internal user and adds a fee per user; ECHOPS includes 3, 8 or 20 users per plan.

Starting price

ECHOPS: $149/mo
JobTread: $199/mo, or $159/mo billed yearly

Users included

ECHOPS: 3, 8 or 20
JobTread: 1, then from $20/mo each

Free trial

ECHOPS: 14 days, no card
JobTread: none stated; 30-day money-back

Bottom line: JobTread fits builders and remodelers who want takeoff formulas that feed the budget and supplier connections; at 20 internal users it also costs less than ECHOPS. ECHOPS fits smaller teams that want users included, a free trial, layout drawings and AI design images, service calls, and calls, chat and video meetings in one tool.

Why ECHOPS

Why contractors choose ECHOPS over JobTread

Users included in the price

ECHOPS includes 3, 8 or 20 users for $149, $299 or $599 a month. JobTread is $199 a month for one internal user, plus $20 a month for each of users 2 to 10 on monthly billing. At 3 users ECHOPS is $90 a month less; at 8 users, $40 less.

A free trial before you pay

Start a 14-day ECHOPS trial with no credit card; your workspace is ready in minutes. JobTread offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on monthly plans; we didn’t find a free trial on the JobTread pages we checked.

Layout drawings and AI design images

Draw rooms to scale with cabinets, doors and windows, export DXF, and turn a room photo into a new kitchen or bath design (25, 100 or 300 images a month by plan). JobTread lists Rendr as a rendering integration; we didn’t find a drawing tool.

Calls and texts on your business number

Add a local business number for calls and texts ($79/mo on Solo and Crew, included in Company). JobTread’s integrations page lists no phone or texting provider.

Video meetings next to team chat

Team chat with channels, groups and deal chats, plus video meetings with AI minutes that clients join from their portal. JobTread lists direct messages and team-wide posts; we didn’t find video meetings.

Service calls beside projects

Service calls with statuses, warranty dates, a map and a route planner sit next to your projects. JobTread’s feature menu lists no service-call dispatch.

Switching

Moving from JobTread to ECHOPS

  1. Export what JobTread lets you download.JobTread’s blog says you can “Export any table to a custom CSV report.” Its help center didn’t load for us, so check it for the steps for each list, and save PDFs of open estimates, contracts and change orders.
  2. Check your renewal date before you cancel.JobTread’s terms say subscriptions renew on their own. You can cancel any time by emailing JobTread support; there’s no refund for the current term, and it ends on the next renewal date. On termination JobTread may deactivate the account right away, so export first.
  3. Import into ECHOPS.Leads come in from CSV; add an ID column so a re-import updates rows instead of doubling them. Past jobs go to the archive, old service tickets match by number, phone, email or name, and past time sheets import too. Download the price book file, fill it in, import it and preview every row before it saves. Files and photos go on projects, in folders.
  4. Run both for a while.Start new leads and quotes in ECHOPS while open jobs finish where they started. Set up your booking page, portals, automations and, if you want it, phone & texts.
  5. Get help if you want it.There’s no setup fee. White-glove setup is $499 once, and free with the Company plan billed yearly.

FAQ

Questions about ECHOPS vs JobTread

How much does JobTread cost?

JobTread is $199 a month billed monthly, or $159 a month billed annually (save 20%). That includes one internal user. More internal users cost $20 each a month for users 2–10, $15 for 11–20, $10 for 21–30 and $5 from 31 up on monthly billing ($16, $12, $8 and $4 on annual). Customers, vendors and subs are free. JobTread says every feature is included, with no contract and no setup fees.

Is there a free trial?

ECHOPS has a 14-day free trial with no credit card. On JobTread’s pages we found a 30-day money-back guarantee on monthly subscriptions and live demos, but no stated free trial: its pricing FAQ asks the question, and we couldn’t see an answer.

Does ECHOPS take card payments?

Yes. Clients pay invoice links by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH through your own Stripe account, and ECHOPS sends the reminders. JobTread collects ACH, card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments through Stripe too.

Does ECHOPS have a mobile app?

ECHOPS runs in the browser on any phone or tablet and can be added to your home screen. An iPhone app is on the way. JobTread works the same way today: its mobile page says you won’t find it in app stores and you install it from Safari or Chrome.

Can I move my data from JobTread?

Yes for lists. JobTread’s blog says any table exports to a CSV report. ECHOPS imports leads, past jobs, service tickets, time sheets and your price book from CSV; keep old proposals and invoices as PDFs on the project. See the JobTread switching guide.

Buildertrend vs JobTread: what’s the difference?

On their own pages, Buildertrend gives a custom quote with unlimited users and no free trial, and has native iOS and Android apps with offline access.

What is JobTread software?

JobTread is construction management software for home builders, remodelers, pool builders, outdoor living contractors, roofers, and commercial and specialty contractors. It covers a CRM with web-to-lead forms, estimates with good/better/best options, on-screen takeoff, schedules, change orders, customer and vendor portals, invoices, Stripe payments and QuickBooks Online sync. It installs from the browser, not app stores. ECHOPS is a competitor. See construction estimating software.
