Questions
Is Jib free?
Jib is free to download, and you can track jobs, rooms, reminders and photos for free. The AI features — turning a photo into a full plan, materials list and cost estimate, and asking follow-up questions — are part of Jib’s paid plans, which come with a 7-day free trial.
Does Jib tell me if a job is legal to DIY?
Jib flags the parts of a job that typically need a licensed tradesperson — electrical, plumbing, gas, waterproofing and structural work. It’s general guidance, not legal advice: always confirm with your state regulator or council. Our free DIY legality checker shows the rules for common jobs by state, with links to the regulator.
Is Jib only for Australia?
No — Jib works anywhere and supports AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD and CAD. Our guides start with Australian rules because they vary so much between states, with UK and New Zealand guides alongside.
