Questions contractors actually ask

What's in The Job Numbers Weekly?

Three things, every Monday after our verification run: any software price change we recorded (with before/after), this week's material price deltas across the 20 tracked metros, and one calculator worth running that week. That's the whole email.

Will you email me when a vendor changes pricing?

Yes — that's the core offer. Every Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Workiz, FieldPulse, or Service Fusion price change lands in the next Weekly with the before/after values, the same day it hits the public change log.

Is my email sold or shared with vendors?

No. One list, no vendor spam, double opt-in, unsubscribe in one click. Some links in the digest are affiliate links, disclosed the same way they are on the site.
