Homeforce adds a dispatch board, an offline tech app and per-tech pricing with office users included. Here's how they compare, with sources.

DripJobs at a glance

Sales-focused CRM for painting and other estimate-driven home service contractors

DripJobs is a CRM for home service contractors built around a sales pipeline, automated text and email follow-ups (its "drip messages"), branded proposals with e-signatures, and scheduling. It was founded by a painting contractor and says it is trusted by 2,500+ painting and home service contractors across 14+ trades. Painting is its best-known market, with a production-rates estimating add-on built for painters.[2],[5]

Pricing: As of November 2026: Pro $97/month and Advanced $147/month, each with 1 admin user; Growth is custom-priced for 5+ users. Add-ons on Pro and Advanced include DripJobs Chat ($25/month), Production Rates ($99/month) and Job Costing ($49/month); Jobi AI and additional users are priced on request. Month-to-month, no contract, and no free trial.[1]

What DripJobs does well

  • Follow-up is the core of the product: 40+ done-for-you drip messages follow up with leads by text and email, and drips can be tied to deal stages.[1],[2],[7]
  • Built with painters in mind. The founder ran a painting business, and the Production Rates add-on calculates labor and materials from square footage and substrates (walls, trim, ceilings, doors, cabinets).[1],[5]
  • Proposals with package pricing and e-signatures, a customer portal, online card and ACH payments, and a financing feature are included from the Pro plan.[1],[2]
  • Simple, published pricing with no contract. Integrations (Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Zapier, CompanyCam) are included at no extra cost, though some are only on Advanced.[1],[3]
  • iOS and Android apps are included with every plan, with pipeline access, on-site proposals, e-signatures and photo capture.[4]

Worth knowing

  • Pro and Advanced include 1 admin user. Additional users are an add-on with pricing on request, and Growth (5+ users) is custom-priced.[1]
  • Two-way texting with a dedicated business number is the DripJobs Chat add-on ($25/month) on Pro and Advanced; unlimited texting is included on Growth.[1]
  • Change orders, appointment reminders, proposal templates, Google Calendar and Zapier start on the Advanced plan, and job costing is a $49/month add-on.[1]
  • There is no free trial, so evaluation happens through a demo.[1]
  • The mobile app requires an internet connection to sync in real time; DripJobs does not describe a full offline mode.[4]

Fit

Where Homeforce fits better

You're adding techs and office help

Homeforce prices by field tech, and office staff, managers and CSRs don't add seats. Starter covers up to 3 techs for $99 a month.

Your crews work where signal drops

The Homeforce app keeps a week of visits and your pricebook on the phone. Techs can complete checklists, take photos, get signatures and build estimates offline, and it syncs when they reconnect.

You run service work alongside painting jobs

A dispatch board with an unscheduled queue, capacity view and route optimization handles same-week service calls next to longer jobs. Memberships cover annual touch-up or inspection plans.

You want follow-up without a separate tool

Sending an estimate starts a default follow-up sequence, and the pipeline flags customers who opened the link. On Pro, AI drafts a personal follow-up you can edit before sending.

Who should stay with DripJobs

Stay on DripJobs if your business is mainly painting sales and its tools are already doing the work: production-rate estimating by square footage and substrate is purpose-built for painters, the drip library is large and ready to use, and QuickBooks and Zapier connect today, where they're still coming soon in Homeforce. DripJobs also moves sold deals into a jobs pipeline, while in Homeforce you create the job yourself after approval. And if texting your leads from a built-in business number matters right now, note that Homeforce texting currently runs through a connected Quo account.

FAQ

Homeforce vs DripJobs: common questions

Have a question we didn't cover? Book a demo and ask a product specialist.

Does Homeforce have drip follow-ups like DripJobs?

Yes, for estimates. Sending an estimate starts a default sequence: a text on day 1, an email on day 3, a text on day 7 and a last text on day 14. It stops when the customer approves or declines. You can pause it per estimate and edit sequences in settings. DripJobs ships a larger library of 40+ prewritten drips across deal stages.

Can I send texts from Homeforce today?

Yes, through a connected Quo (OpenPhone) account, which can send reminders, on-my-way texts, follow-ups and inbox replies. Homeforce's own texting numbers are coming soon. Until one of these is set up, texts are held and email still goes out.

Can Homeforce estimate paint jobs by square footage?

Not with a built-in production-rate calculator like DripJobs' add-on. In Homeforce you build options from pricebook items with quantities, and on Pro, AI can draft good / better / best options from your notes.

How do user costs compare for a 4-person painting crew with an office manager?

In Homeforce, the 4 field techs fit the Pro plan ($299 a month, up to 10 techs) and the office manager is free. DripJobs' Pro and Advanced plans include 1 admin user, and additional users are priced on request (as of November 2026).

Will my sold DripJobs proposals become jobs automatically in Homeforce?

No. When a customer approves a Homeforce estimate, it's marked sold, the signature is saved and any deposit invoice is created. You then create the job or book the appointment. Start the estimate from a job if you want the two linked.

Is there a free trial of either product?

DripJobs says it doesn't offer a free trial. Homeforce is onboarding early customers from a waitlist, and each one gets a 14-day free trial when they're brought on.
