Is Obrahub the same company as Obra?

No. Obrahub is a separate iOS app, in Spanish, aimed at independent contractors in Chile and Latin America. Obra is made by My Tiny Rocket LLC in the United States for US contractors and their crews, in English and Spanish. The word obra means a construction job in Spanish, which is why several products use it.

Which one works for a crew?

Obrahub's free and single-user tiers are for one person; team features and web access arrive on its multi-user tier. Obra starts from the crew: capturers send receipts over WhatsApp without an account in the books, and the office reviews. If several people buy materials, that is the deciding difference.

Which one should a Spanish-speaking contractor in the US pick?

Obra. It is in Spanish for the crew and in English for whoever needs it, it works in dollars on any phone, and it expects receipts to arrive by message. Obrahub is a good tool for its own market, and that market is not the United States.

Obra vs Obrahub: similar names, different products, different countries

Obrahub is a Spanish-only iPhone app for solo contractors in Chile. Obra is a bilingual job ledger for US crews, fed over WhatsApp. Don't mix them up.

The short version

Obrahub is an iPhone and iPad app for the independent contractor working alone: quotes as branded PDFs sent over WhatsApp, expenses and payments per project with a running profit, photos, client sign-offs, material calculators and an AR tape measure. It is in Spanish only, its calculators cite Chilean standards and its examples are in pesos. Obra is a bilingual web app for a US crew: receipts come in from the crew over WhatsApp in English or Spanish, the office confirms them, every project shows cost against contract and a forecast of where it lands. The names are close; the buyers are not. If you are one person quoting jobs in Chile from an iPhone, Obrahub was made for you. If you run a crew in the United States, Obra was.

What Obrahub is

A field app for the independent contractor, on iPhone and iPad, in Spanish. You build a quote from your own catalog, it becomes a PDF with your logo, and you send it to the client over WhatsApp. If the client approves, one tap turns it into a project. Expenses and client payments are logged against that project and the app shows the running profit, with alerts when a project runs over budget. It adds photos and videos by project, technical reports with a digital client sign-off, task lists, GPS on each project, and a toolbox of calculators for concrete, masonry, slabs, paint, tile and partitions, plus an AR measuring tool. Its calculators cite Chilean standards and its screenshots show pesos. The free plan covers a few projects; the single-user upgrade is cheap; a multi-user tier with roles and web access sits above.

What Obra is

The ledger for each job, for a crew in the United States. Receipts come in from the crew over WhatsApp, in English or Spanish, and the office confirms each one to a project and a category. Every project shows what it has collected, what it has cost and where it is expected to land. Change orders adjust the contract without erasing the original. It runs in the browser on any phone, Android included, installs to the home screen, and exports everything as CSV. It does not quote, and it has no calculators.

The WhatsApp confusion

Both mention WhatsApp on the front page and mean opposite things by it. In Obrahub, WhatsApp is the way a quote leaves: the PDF goes out to the client. In Obra, WhatsApp is the way a receipt arrives: the crew sends the photo to a number, Obra reads it, replies in their language, and the office reviews the draft. If you read "sends over WhatsApp" and pictured your crew's receipts, that is Obra.

Deciding

If you work alone, quote from your phone, and your market is Chile or another Spanish-speaking country, Obrahub is a purpose-built tool at a low price. If you run a crew in the United States and the thing you cannot see is what each job cost this week, start with Obra, free for one project and $12 a seat after, in whichever language each person on the crew prefers.
