Jobber Pricing in 2026: What It Actually Costs a Small Contractor

Short answer: a solo contractor on Jobber's cheapest plan is looking at somewhere in the $39 to $49 a month range. A shop with a crew lands between roughly $149 and $599 a month depending on how many people you put in it. Then there's $29 a month for every user past your plan's limit, add-ons that run roughly $80 to $99 a month each, and 2.9% plus 30 cents on every card payment you take through it. The plan price is not the price.

If you've googled this already you've noticed something annoying: every site quotes a different number. One says Core is $25, another says $39, another says $49. Nobody's lying. I'll explain why below, because understanding that is most of what you need to price this out for your own shop.

Why every site quotes a different Jobber price

Three reasons, and they stack on top of each other.

Annual prepaid versus month to month. Jobber's pricing page shows annual prepaid numbers by default. That's the lowest number they can legally put on the page. Pay month to month and it goes up, usually by 15 to 25 percent. So one blog quoting $149 and another quoting $169 for the same plan are both right, they just picked different billing terms.

Promo pricing on top of that. New customers get an intro discount, something like a chunk off for the first three months or a reduced rate for the first year. The pricing page will show you a $21 a month figure that reverts to a much higher number later. If you're budgeting off the number you saw during signup, you're going to get a surprise on month four or month thirteen.

The plan calculator moves. Jobber asks you a few questions and then recommends a plan. Two contractors visiting the same page on the same day get shown different plans at different prices. So a review site's screenshot is a snapshot of one path through that calculator, not a price list.

None of that is a scam. It's just normal SaaS pricing. But it means you cannot trust a third party number, including this one. Use the ranges here to figure out roughly what tier you're in, then go pull your own quote.

The plan structure

Jobber splits it into individual plans and team plans. The dividing line is how many people need a login.

Individual, one user. The entry tier. Roughly $39 a month on annual, closer to $49 month to month. You get quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and client records. This is enough if you're a one truck operation and the only thing you need is to stop writing estimates on carbon paper.

Connect, around five users. Somewhere in the $149 to $169 a month range depending on billing. This is where two-way texting with customers and the automated reminder stuff starts showing up. Most shops with a couple of crews end up here.

Grow, around ten users. Roughly $249 to $349 a month. Adds job costing and better reporting. Job costing is the real reason people move up, because it's the first tier where you can see whether a job actually made money instead of guessing.

Plus, around fifteen users. Roughly $529 to $599 a month. Bundles in some of the add-ons that cost extra lower down.

Tier names and boundaries get reshuffled every year or so. The shape holds: cheap for one person, a real jump for a crew, another jump for reporting.

The costs that aren't in the plan price

This is the part that catches people.

$29 a month per extra user. Every plan includes a set number of logins. Go one over and it's another $29 a month, every month. Hire two guys in the spring and you've added $58 a month without changing plans. If you run seasonal help, do this math before you commit, because it's easy to be paying for winter logins on a crew that went home in November.

Add-ons at roughly $80 to $99 a month each. The marketing suite, which is the piece that does automated follow-up campaigns and review requests, is a paid add-on on the lower plans. So is their AI phone answering. If the reason you're buying Jobber is follow-up, read that sentence again. The thing you came for may not be in the plan you're pricing.

2.9% plus 30 cents per card transaction. Standard processing rate, not unusual, but it's real money at contractor ticket sizes. Run $20,000 a month through it and that's roughly $580 a month in processing. That's more than the software. It's the single biggest line item most people forget.

Your time. Not a fee, but be honest about it. Jobber is a full field service platform. Setting it up properly means loading your services, your price book, your customer list, and your templates. Plan for a weekend. People who half-set-it-up end up paying for a scheduling app they use as a contact list.

So what does it really cost?

Rough numbers for three common shapes, annual billing, before processing fees:

A solo guy on the entry plan: about $40 a month, call it $480 a year.

Three people on Connect: about $150 a month plus nothing extra if you're under the user cap, so roughly $1,800 a year. Add the marketing suite and you're near $2,800.

Seven people on Grow: about $250 a month base, plus $29 for anyone over the included count, so call it $3,000 to $3,600 a year. Push $250,000 a year in card payments through it and add another $7,000 in processing on top.

That's not a knock on Jobber. For a shop that needs scheduling, dispatch, job costing, and invoicing in one place, it's a lot of software for the money and the processing fee is what any processor would charge you anyway. Just price the whole thing, not the sticker.

Is Jobber worth it for you?

Yes, if you're scheduling multiple crews, dispatching daily, invoicing a high volume of jobs, and currently running that on a whiteboard and a phone. The scheduling and invoicing alone will save you hours a week, and hours a week at contractor rates covers $150 a month easily.

Probably not yet, if you're solo, do six to ten jobs a month, and already have a system that works. You'll pay for a platform and use a fifth of it.

Watch out, if the actual thing you're trying to fix is quotes going quiet. That's a specific problem and a full field service platform is a big, expensive way to get at it. The follow-up piece is an add-on on the plans most small shops buy, and even then it's built around customer reminders and campaigns rather than sitting on a single unsold quote until you get a yes or a no.

Where we fit, honestly

We build QuoteChaser, so take this with the appropriate grain of salt. But the distinction is worth understanding whether you buy from us or not.

Jobber runs your business. Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, the whole operation. QuoteChaser does one job: after you send a quote, it keeps following up on a fixed schedule by text and email until the customer answers, and it stops the second they reply. That's it. No scheduling, no dispatch, no invoicing.

If you need the operation run, buy Jobber. If your quotes are fine and your calendar is fine and the leak is the eight quotes a month that just go silent, a platform is a heavy fix. We charge $497 to set it up, first month included, then $249 a month, and there's a 60 day refund on the setup if it doesn't do anything for you. At a $3,000 average job, one recovered quote a year covers it. Two puts you ahead.

Plenty of shops run both, and that's fine. They're not really competing for the same slot.

If you want to talk through whether that fits your shop, we'll take a look at your numbers.
