Question 1

Is Koldwerk a good alternative to Jobsplanner?

Accepted Answer

For refrigeration companies with BRL 100, F-gas, or STEK obligations, Koldwerk is a strong alternative to Jobsplanner: that compliance is built in by default. If you don't have those requirements, Jobsplanner may suit you better — weigh it against the comparison below.

Question 2

When is Jobsplanner the better choice over Koldwerk?

Accepted Answer

Multi-discipline company: refrigeration + electrical + plumbing + central heating in one plan. The focus is time registration + the planning puzzle across 20+ installers. An existing Microsoft Dynamics integration is a requirement.

Question 3

When does Koldwerk fit better than Jobsplanner?

Accepted Answer

Your core business is refrigeration — a work-order-first experience is faster for installers than a planning tool where work orders 'are also possible'. The BRL 100 audit trail must be retrievable one-to-one — not via consultants or custom-built reports. You want a public monthly price without a quote process.

Question 4

What exactly is Jobsplanner?

Accepted Answer

Service and planning software for installation companies, focused on planning, time registration and invoicing. Target audience: Mid-sized installation companies (10-50 installers) with complex planning across multiple disciplines. Price indication: On request (no public price list as of 2026-05). Indicative €50+ per user / month for the broader ERP functionality.

Feature	Koldwerk	Jobsplanner
BRL 100 / STEK audit trail Without a demonstrable audit trail, any refrigeration installer fails their next Kiwa audit. Essential, not optional.

Planning across multiple disciplines Companies with installers across multiple trades need a single planning overview.	Partial Work planning is present, but optimized for refrigeration installers — no multi-discipline drag-and-drop.	Present A core feature of Jobsplanner.
Accounting integration Work orders need to reach accounting without retyping.	Present Debitan integration available in Plus + Enterprise.	Present Multiple integrations (Exact, Twinfield, AFAS).
Honest price + cancel monthly No annual-contract lock-in. Our price is public (from €49/month) instead of 'request a quote'.	Present €49/€69/€89 public on /en/prijzen. Cancel monthly.	Not present On request — no public price list.
