Sales automation CRM vs. Field operations platform

DripJobs is purpose-built to help contractors win more jobs through
automated drip marketing, lead follow-up, and streamlined proposals.

GPS time tracking, payroll prep, HR, and change order management
for teams that need real operational structure.

The operational layer DripJobs wasn't built to provide

DripJobs excels at winning the job.
MotionOps is built for everything that happens after:
running the team, tracking the work, and managing the finances
with the structure a growing contractor business needs.

HR management for growing teams

MotionOps

Includes 5 users from the Go plan up, with HR tools built in: document storage, skills and grades, days-off approvals, and leaderboards.

DripJobs

None of it exists in DripJobs. Pro and Advanced include just 1 admin user; extra users are priced on request.

Change orders from the standard plan

MotionOps

A full change order workflow with customer signatures on standard plans, so every scope change is documented before work proceeds.

DripJobs

Change orders are locked behind the Advanced plan at $147/mo. They’re not available on the Pro plan at all.

Job costing included, not a $49/mo add-on

MotionOps

Job costing and profitability tracking are included in the Go plan, so you know which jobs actually make money.

DripJobs

Charges $49/mo extra for job costing and $99/mo extra for production rates on Pro and Advanced; only custom-priced Growth includes them.

Multi-day project scheduling

MotionOps

Natively handles projects that span days or weeks: multi-stage scheduling, crew assignments across days, and progress invoicing all work together.

DripJobs

Built around appointments and single-day jobs.

Timesheet QA & payroll prep workflow

MotionOps

Runs timesheet approval workflows, tracks overtime, and exports payroll-ready CSVs.

DripJobs

No payroll infrastructure whatsoever. It was built to fill your calendar, not to help you pay your team accurately once it’s full.

GPS time tracking & crew visibility

MotionOps

Geo-stamps every clock in and clock out, giving you real-time crew location and verified hours per job.

DripJobs

No clock-in of its own; hours are imported from QuickBooks Time. Once the job is booked, you’re on your own for tracking where your team is.

DripJobs pricing vs MotionOps: What looks affordable can add up quickly

DripJobs' $97/mo starting price looks competitive, until you add job costing ($49/mo), production rates ($99/mo), two-way texting ($25/mo), and extra users.
A growing team on Advanced with add-ons can easily exceed $320/mo while still lacking GPS tracking, payroll prep, and HR tools.
MotionOps includes the full operational stack in one plan.

FAQ

Is MotionOps a good alternative to DripJobs?

Yes, if your priority is running the job, not just winning it. DripJobs is a cleverly built sales-automation CRM, strong on drip follow-ups, speed-to-lead, and closing more work. MotionOps takes over after the sale: multi-crew scheduling, GPS time tracking, payroll prep, HR tools, and change orders. It's the better fit once your pipeline is full and you need real operational structure.

Why do contractors switch from DripJobs to MotionOps?

Most switch when DripJobs fills the calendar but can't run the work behind it. The pull toward MotionOps is concrete: GPS time tracking, timesheet QA, payroll-ready exports, built-in HR tools, and job costing included rather than sold as a $49/mo add-on. DripJobs was built to book jobs; MotionOps is built to manage the crews and finances once they're booked.

What does MotionOps do that DripJobs doesn't?

MotionOps adds the entire field-operations layer DripJobs lacks: GPS-stamped clock-in/out, timesheet approval and overtime tracking, payroll prep with CSV export, employee document storage, skills and grades tracking, and day-off approvals. It also includes a full change order workflow and liability waivers. DripJobs has no time tracking of its own (it imports hours from QuickBooks Time), no payroll infrastructure, and no HR document management at any tier.

Is MotionOps cheaper than DripJobs?

For a growing team, usually yes, because more is included in one plan. DripJobs starts at $97/mo but key tools are paid add-ons: job costing ($49/mo), production rates ($99/mo), and two-way texting ($25/mo), with change orders only from the $147/mo Advanced plan up. A team stacking those can pass $320/mo and still have no GPS tracking, payroll prep, or HR tools, all of which MotionOps includes.

How many users do you get with DripJobs vs MotionOps?

DripJobs Pro and Advanced include just 1 admin user, with extra users priced on request; the custom-priced Growth plan is for 5+ users. MotionOps Go includes 1–5 users, with additional users at $29/mo. If you're running an actual crew rather than a solo operation, that difference adds up quickly.

Does MotionOps integrate with QuickBooks Online?

Yes, QuickBooks Online sync is included with MotionOps, along with Zapier and 7,000+ app integrations on standard plans. DripJobs also syncs with QuickBooks Online, though its Zapier access is limited to the Advanced plan and above.

Can I change the plan?

UPGRADE: You can upgrade anytime. For monthly plans, the new price starts right away. If you choose annual plans, the total amount is charged upfront upon signing up as a client and is non-refundable if you cancel before the year is complete.

DOWNGRADE: For monthly plans, downgrades start with your next billing cycle. For example, if you signed up on the 1st of the month and requested a downgrade on the 15th, the new pricing will apply beginning on the 1st of the following month.

Does MotionOps offer a mobile app? Is there an additional cost for it?

Yes, MotionOps has a mobile app with no additional charge. This app has a variety of features that allow you to manage your MotionOps account through your smartphone or tablet. With the app, you can monitor your workers' activities, keep track of their progress, and stay up-to-date on your project management tasks. The mobile app is designed to be user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to use, making it an excellent tool for managing your business even while you're on the go.
