FieldEdge is one of the more popular choices for jobs. At $0/month, it seems affordable month-to-month, but the annual cost adds up faster than most people expect. The challenge is that FieldEdge is a subscription. Every month you pay whether you use it heavily or not. And SaaS companies raise prices an average of 11.4% per year.
Helix takes a different approach. Jobs is one of 11 integrated modules in a $279 one-time purchase. Your jobs connects directly to your CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and time tracking — no Zapier, no copying between apps, no integration tax. You pay once and own your tools.
For solo operators and small teams, Helix does 90% of what FieldEdge does at 80% less cost over 3 years.
Helix is built for solopreneurs and small teams who run service-based businesses — plumbers, photographers, house cleaners, personal trainers, nail techs, landscapers, and dozens of other trades. If you book clients, do work, and send invoices, Helix replaces the 3-5 subscriptions you are currently paying for. Your jobs connects directly to your CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and time tracking. No Zapier. No copying between apps. $279 once — or $99 today and two more payments — and you own your tools forever.
30-day money-back guarantee. Break even in ∞ months.
