Jobber serves a very wide market — cleaning, landscaping, handyman, pest, trades, all of it. Serving everybody is a legitimate strategy and it is not ours. ServiceBuilt was written inside one contracting company for its own crew, so the defaults are a service trade’s defaults rather than the average of forty industries.
No contracts. Ever. Month to month, cancel yourself in the app. No card to start, no demo call, no salesperson.
Jobber publishes its pricing, which we respect and which makes this comparison possible. These are their monthly-billing numbers at their own published user tiers.
| Jobber Core | Jobber Grow | Jobber Plus | ServiceBuilt Powerhouse | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $199 | $299 | $499 | $448 |
| 5 people | $199 | $299 | $499 | $448 |
| 8 people | $299 | $399 | $599 | $448 |
| 10 people | $299 | $399 | $599 | $448 |
| 12 people | $499 | $499 | $699 | $448 |
| 15 people | $499 | $499 | $699 | $448 |
| 20 people | $644 | $644 | $844 | $448 |
| 25 people | $789 | $789 | $989 | $448 |
The crossover is eleven people, and only against their cheapest plan — Core. Compared with Grow it is twelve, and against Plus we are cheaper from two people up. Below that line Jobber costs less and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. Workhorse, our mobile app with unlimited technicians, is $149 at every crew size in the table.
At most crew sizes on that table Jobber is cheaper. So if you are leaving, it is usually not about the money — it is that a general home-service tool and a trades shop want different things.
Material cost comes off before the technician’s percentage. A trade that puts real parts on a job — springs, a condenser, a panel, a water heater — cannot run a pay plan on revenue without slowly overpaying. Set the basis once and payroll uses it every week.
Order status runs not ordered, ordered, arrived, tracked separately from the job’s own pending approval, approved, scheduled, arrived, installed. That separation is what stops a crew being scheduled for a door, a unit or a panel that has not shipped.
Three priced options on the screen the technician is holding in front of the customer, so the conversation happens the same way on every truck instead of depending on who showed up.
Riley answers what the office cannot get to, gets the address and the problem, and books the job. Included in Powerhouse rather than a monthly add-on.
Core at $49 for a single user is the cheapest thing in this entire comparison. Nothing we sell competes and we are not going to invent a reason it does.
If the work is cleaning, landscaping, mobile detailing or general handyman, a lot of what we built — profit-based commission, ordered-equipment tracking, three-tier price books — is weight you will never use.
They have far more customers, a longer track record and years of edge cases already found. We are new, and that is a real thing to weigh.
Usually not, until you get to about eleven people. Using their published monthly rates against our Powerhouse at $448: at five people Core is $199 and Grow is $299. At ten, $299 and $399. At twelve, $499 and $499. At twenty-five, $789 and $789.
So the honest answer is that Jobber is cheaper for most small and mid crews, and we get cheaper as you grow because our price does not count people. Our Workhorse plan is $149 with unlimited technicians at any size, which is a different comparison again.
Fit rather than price. Commission calculated on gross profit instead of revenue, an install board that tracks ordered equipment separately from the job, a price book built around good, better and best, and an AI phone agent included rather than added on. Those exist because a contractor needed them in his own shop, not because a product team surveyed forty industries.
Yes, free, on either plan, and we do the moving — customers, jobs, estimates, invoices, payments and price book. You review what came across, and what did not, before anything goes live.
No. Both our plans include unlimited technicians, office staff and apprentices at no additional cost. Jobber’s published rate is $29 per additional user on top of its plan tiers.
Ours is month to month with no term, cancelled in the app. Jobber publishes monthly billing with no commitment alongside a one-year option. Our trial is 30 days without a card; theirs is 14, also without a card.
We migrate your history free on either plan, and we do the moving. If it is not better than what you have, you have lost nothing but a month.
