How much is Jobber per month?
All Jobber figures on this page are published by Jobber on getjobber.com/pricing and reflect monthly billing. Annual billing is discounted.
| Plan | Monthly price (by user bundle) | Users included | Extra user |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber Core | $49 | 1 | $29/mo |
| Jobber Connect | $139 / $199 / $299 / $399 | 1 / 5 / 10 / 15 | $29/mo |
| Jobber Grow | $199 / $299 / $399 / $499 | 1 / 5 / 10 / 15 | $29/mo |
| Jobber Plus | $499 / $599 / $699 | 5 / 10 / 15 | $29/mo |
| Simple Small / Medium / Large | $99 / $199 / $399 | 5 / 10 / Unlimited | $0 |
The sticker price is only accurate for a one-person business. Once you add an office manager and a couple of field techs, the seat charges start to outrun the plan fee.
What does Jobber really cost for a 5-person team?
A 5-person team pays $165/mo on Jobber Core ($49 + 4 users at $29) or $199/mo on Connect, which adds route optimization and job costing. Simple Medium, which includes dispatch, route optimization, scheduling and the time clock, is $199/mo for up to 10 users. Software cost is about even. The difference is processing: about $2,094 a year on $40,000 a month in card payments.
Here is how that processing number is built. Using the same shop as our field service software guide: $40,000 a month in card payments, 60% in person and 40% by invoice link, with a $350 average job.
Jobber: $24,000 x 2.7% + 69 x $0.30 + $16,000 x 2.9% + 46 x $0.30 = $1,146.50/mo, $13,758/yr
Simple: $24,000 x 2.19% + $16,000 x 2.79% = $972/mo, $11,664/yr
Difference: about $2,094 a year on processing
What are Jobber's payment processing fees?
Every Jobber Payments transaction carries a fixed 30¢ on top of the percentage. On a $350 job it looks small, but it applies to every deposit, partial payment and tip adjustment. Simple compares like for like: in person against in person, online against online.
| Payment type | Jobber (published by Jobber) | Simple |
|---|---|---|
| Tap or in person | 2.7% + 30¢ | 2.19% |
| Online card / invoice link | 2.9% + 30¢ | 2.79% |
| ACH | 1% | Included in payment links |
| Instant payout | +1% | Next-day and same-day funding available |
Can I use my own processor with Jobber?
Yes, Jobber can connect Square, Stripe, Authorize.net or PayPal. The trade-off, per Jobber, is that you lose the card reader, saved cards, autopay, tipping, deposits and in-app refunds. In practice most shops stay on Jobber Payments and pay the 30¢.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Jobber?
For teams of three or more, Simple usually costs less on both lines of the bill. Simple includes estimates with e-signature that convert to invoices, recurring billing, online booking with deposits, an employee scheduler, a GPS time clock, and payment links for card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH. Browse the full list of Jobber alternatives if you want more options.
- Simple is best for service teams of three or more that want 10 users on the $199 Medium plan and no fixed fee on each card payment.
- Jobber is best for home service businesses with 1 to 10 people that want polished client-facing quotes and online booking.
Who should choose Jobber instead
Solo operators who only need quoting and invoicing and process little card volume. With one user and a few thousand dollars a month in payments, the $49 Core plan costs less overall than Simple's $99 plan, and the 30¢ fee barely registers.
