Where Jobber falls short for trades shops

From Jobber's own pricing page, these are the gaps most likely to matter to an HVAC or plumbing business:

  • Job costing starts at Grow: $149/month for 1 user, $229 for 5. Housecall Pro has it on every plan.
  • No maintenance agreements or flat-rate pricebook listed on the pricing page. Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, Workiz and ServiceTitan list them.
  • Crew scheduling is Plus only, the top plan ($399/month for 5 users).

Not listed isn't the same as missing

Jobber may handle some of this another way. If one of these is a deal-breaker, ask Jobber directly during the 14-day trial before switching.

Which to pick

My take, from the prices above:

  • Solo: stay on Jobber Core. Nothing with a published price beats $29.
  • 5 to 20 people, price first: Kickserv. The 5-user plan is $60 vs Jobber's $149, and the 30-day trial gives you time to test it on real jobs.
  • HVAC or plumbing, 2 to 8 people: Housecall Pro. Job costing on every plan, flat-rate pricing at $149, and service plans on Max. See Jobber vs Housecall Pro.
  • Maintenance agreements drive revenue: Housecall Pro Max, or get quotes from FieldEdge and Workiz.
