Jobber is the product a lot of small service businesses start with, and for good reason. It's simple, it's priced on the website, and customers like the portal. This review covers what Jobber costs in 2026, how the plans and add-ons fit together, and where it's strong and thin, so you can decide whether it fits your shop. Every price here comes from Jobber's pricing page, checked October 15, 2026.
How Jobber pricing works
Jobber prices on two things at once: the plan and the number of users. Each plan comes in bands of 1, 5, 10 and 15 users (Core is one user only, Plus starts at five). Then you choose how to pay:
- No commitment, monthly. Highest price, cancel any time, service ends at the end of the billing period.
- 1-year commitment, billed monthly. Lower price. If you cancel early, billing continues through the term.
- Annual, prepaid. Lowest price. Paid up front, access continues if you cancel, but no refund.
All subscriptions auto-renew unless you set them not to. You can upgrade any time; downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle.
What each plan adds
Core covers the essentials for a solo operator: online booking, scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a website and built-in reporting.
Connect adds what a small team needs to stop chasing things: automated client reminders, automatic payment collection, checklists, quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.
Grow is the plan most growing crews land on. It adds richer quotes with images and reviews, optional line items customers can tick to upsell themselves, automatic time tracking, job costing, two-way texting and custom automations.
Plus adds crew scheduling, expense capture with profit alerts, custom reports, unlimited photo and video storage, dedicated onboarding, and includes the three add-ons.
What a real shop pays
Here's an example, not a quote. A 5-person crew (4 techs and an office manager) wants two-way texting and job costing, so Grow:
- Grow, 5 users, annual prepaid: $229 a month.
- Add AI Receptionist ($29) and Pipeline ($49): $307 a month.
- Add Marketing Suite ($99): $406 a month. At that point Plus for 5 users, $399 annual, includes all three and costs less.
Now say the crew grows to 6 techs plus 2 office staff. That's 8 users, so the 10-user band: Grow annual is $299 a month before add-ons.
Card fees are 2.9% plus 30 cents, 2.7% plus 30 cents for Tap to Pay, and 1% for ACH in the US. Instant payouts add 1%.
What Jobber does well
It's easy
Jobber's core idea is one chain: request, quote, job, invoice. Every record has the same shape and the home screen shows what's waiting at each stage. New office staff learn it quickly and techs don't need much training. This is the main reason shops choose it and the main reason they stay.
Client Hub
Customers get one portal where they can request work, approve a quote or ask for changes, see upcoming visits with photos of the team who's coming, pay invoices or deposits, leave a tip and refer friends (Client Hub). It makes a small company look organized, and tips are a nice extra for techs.
Quotes that sell themselves a little
From Grow, quotes can include photos and reviews, and optional line items the customer chooses. That's a light version of offering options, and it works well for add-on services like gutter cleaning with a window wash.
AI that suggests
Jobber's AI builds a custom report when you describe it, suggests automations based on how you work, rewrites client messages, and lets techs handle more than 100 tasks by voice in the app (Jobber AI). The AI Receptionist answers calls and texts, captures leads and books jobs, for $29 a month below Plus.
Scale and ecosystem
Jobber says it is trusted by 400,000 service pros. In practice that means plenty of how-to content, an app marketplace with 100+ integrations, and other owners who've solved the problem you're facing.
Where Jobber falls short
Add-ons below Plus
The three features owners most often ask about (a sales pipeline, AI phone answering and marketing) are add-ons on Core, Connect and Grow. Individually they're reasonably priced. Together they push a mid-size crew toward Plus.
The 15-user line
Published bands stop at 15 users and every login counts. A shop with 10 techs and 6 office staff is already past it and into a sales conversation.
Mechanical-trade depth
Jobber's plan lists don't include maintenance memberships with visits that come due, a flat-rate price book presented as good/better/best options, or equipment records with age and warranty at each address. HVAC, plumbing and electrical shops lean on those. Recurring jobs and optional line items can approximate some of it; check whether the workarounds hold up during your trial.
Lock-in on the cheaper options
The billing choice is a strength, but the cheaper options come with real commitment: billing through the term or no refund. Choose with your eyes open.
Who should choose Jobber
Jobber is an easy recommendation for lawn care, landscaping, cleaning, pressure washing and handyman businesses, and for small trade crews doing straightforward service work. If your customers book, approve and pay online, Client Hub alone is worth a look.
If you're an HVAC, plumbing or electrical shop with a growing membership base, or you sell replacements with good/better/best options, compare tools built for that work. Housecall Pro is the nearest like-for-like (our review). TradesWork is built for 3 to 50 tech mechanical shops: $79 to $139 per tech a month on annual billing with office staff free, memberships and good/better/best estimates from the middle plan, and a tech app that works with no signal. It's new, its route-day scheduling for lawn and pest isn't built, and it isn't the cheaper option for a one- or two-person crew. See the full list in Jobber alternatives.
How Jobber compares on price
Annual list prices at around five users, from each vendor's own page:
| Product | Plan | Monthly | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber | Connect, 5 users | $149 | QuickBooks sync, reminders, auto payments |
| Jobber | Grow, 5 users | $229 | Job costing, two-way texting, optional line items |
| Housecall Pro | Essentials, 5 users | $149 | Flat-rate pricing, commissions, QuickBooks sync |
| Service Fusion | Starter, unlimited users | $208 | Flat price, more users |
| TradesWork | Pro, 4 techs + office | $396 | 4 × $99; office free; memberships and good/better/best |
At this size Jobber and Housecall Pro are the value options, and that's a fair reflection of what they're built for. TradesWork costs more because it charges per tech and includes trade-specific tools a lawn or cleaning crew wouldn't use.
The bottom line
Jobber is honest software at an honest price for the businesses it's built for. Its weak spots are packaging and trade depth, not quality. If you know which add-ons you need and your trade fits, it's a safe choice.
How to evaluate Jobber in a 14-day trial
- Set up your real services and prices, not samples.
- Have your office book, schedule and invoice a day's worth of real jobs.
- Send a quote with optional line items to a friendly customer and watch how Client Hub looks on their phone.
- If you sell memberships, try to run one end to end: sign-up, recurring billing, visit reminders.
- Add up the plan, user band and add-ons you'd actually use, at the billing option you'd pick.
