Nothing you're owed slips through the cracks.

Yes, and that is the half most job software leaves out. It records the quote and the invoice like anything else, then does the arithmetic on top: revenue per available working day, margin per job against materials and subcontractor cost, quote win rate with the range it could really be, and how long customers take to pay weighted by the size of the invoice. Turnover on its own hides all four. No figure is shown on a sample too small to support it. Where there is too little history the card renders nothing, rather than a number with a caveat underneath it.

It is what a day of your available time earned, rather than what you charged for a day you worked. Take the money received in a period and divide it by the working days that period held, from the working pattern you set. Hotels have measured this for decades as revenue per available room, because a room nobody booked is revenue that can never be recovered. A Tuesday you did not fill is exactly the same thing. My Job Goblin decomposes it the way a hotel does, into your effective day rate multiplied by your utilisation, so you can see which of the two moved.

No, and that is deliberate. There is no benchmarking against other businesses. Trades publish no prices, day rates or availability in any machine-readable form, so a peer comparison in this market is either a very small sample or an invented one. Every figure compares a trader against their own history. A benchmark against a handful of unrepresentative businesses, or against a number nobody can source, is worse than no benchmark at all.

My Job Goblin is for sole traders, contractors, handymen and small service businesses that need a simple way to manage quotes, jobs, invoices and expenses.

Not yet. My Job Goblin is focused on solo tradespeople and small businesses that want a simple admin workflow without heavy field service software.

Those are built for firms with office staff, vans and per-user seats to license. My Job Goblin is built for one person who does both the work and the admin: one flat price, no per-seat fees, no contract, and nothing to set up on day one. If you run the whole business from your phone, it is built for you.

Yes. Customers can review quotes through a simple online portal and approve the work.

Yes. My Job Goblin supports deposit workflows so you can request money upfront when needed.

Yes. You can connect Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud. When you schedule a job or site visit, My Job Goblin creates the calendar event for you and keeps it up to date. It only touches events for work you schedule, and you can disconnect at any time from Settings.

Yes. My Job Goblin keeps your income and expense records organised digitally all year. When Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to you (from April 2026 for sole traders earning over £50,000), having clean digital records already in place makes quarterly updates and the final return much less painful.

Pro is £29 a month or £290 a year: the full app, unlimited. Pro + Tax is £39 a month or £390 a year and adds HMRC filing, both the quarterly updates and the year end tools. Every account starts with a 14 day trial of Pro, no card needed. The free tier runs 3 quotes and 3 invoices a month, end to end: build the quote, send the PDF, let the customer approve it in the portal, and invoice it. The AI pricing and description tools, expense tracking, certificate filing and reports are Pro. The HMRC year-end tools are Pro + Tax.

The cap is small on purpose. A free tier big enough to run a trade on has to be paid for by the traders who do pay, and they are one-person businesses on a flat £29 a month with no per-seat fee. What the free tier proves is the whole loop rather than the volume: build the quote, send it, let the customer approve it, invoice it.

My Job Goblin is priced and built for a one-person trade that quotes most weeks. If you send a handful of invoices a year, a free invoicing app will do the job and this will feel like more software than you need. It starts paying for itself at the point where chasing quotes and filing receipts has become a real part of your week.
