Quick Answer
Jobber costs $19–$249/month depending on the plan, billed annually. Most solo operators and small teams (1–3 techs) land on Core at $49/month — it covers quoting, scheduling, invoicing and the client portal. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card and is worth using before you decide.
The 4 Jobber plans — what's in each
Jobber offers four tiers. Annual billing saves roughly 25–30% versus month-to-month. All prices below are annual billing unless noted otherwise.
Lite
For self-employed tradespeople doing everything manually today
$19/mo
annual · 1 user

What's missing (vs. Core):
My take: Lite is only viable if you do 5–10 jobs per month and mainly need digital invoicing. Without a scheduling calendar, you're still managing your own calendar separately. Most legitimate field service businesses need Core from day one.
Core
The real starting point for most field service businesses
$49/mo
annual · 1 user
Everything in Lite, plus:
My take: This is where Jobber earns its reputation. Core at $49/month is genuinely one of the best value setups for a solo operator or a 2-tech team. The Client Hub alone — where clients can approve quotes and pay without a phone call — saves hours per week. Start here.
Connect
For growing teams with multiple techs and a real workflow
$129/mo
annual · up to 5 users
Everything in Core, plus:
Grow
For established businesses ready to optimize conversion and scale

4 things the Jobber sales team won't volunteer
Jobber has a well-deserved reputation for clean UI and fast onboarding. But there are a few cost and feature realities that only become obvious after you've signed up.
1. Core is 1 user — your second tech bumps you to Connect
The Core plan at $49/month covers exactly 1 user. The moment you hire a second tech who needs app access, you're moving to Connect at $129/month — a $80/month jump for one additional user. If you're a solo operator planning to hire within 12 months, budget for Connect from the start instead of being surprised by the upgrade. The per-user math changes the ROI calculation significantly for 2–3 tech operations.
2. Automated review requests are gated to Connect, not Core
Automatic review requests — the feature that generates Google reviews after job completion — are only available on Connect and above. On Core, you can request reviews manually, but the automated follow-up sequence is locked. For any local service business where Google reviews are a growth channel, this is a real consideration. If reviews matter to your business model, budget for Connect from day one rather than upgrading later.
3. Jobber Payments processing fees are separate from your plan cost
All plans include Jobber Payments as the payment processor. Credit card processing fees run approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction — standard for the industry, but it's not "free" just because it's included in the plan. On $10,000/month in card revenue, that's ~$290 in processing fees on top of the subscription cost. This doesn't make Jobber expensive, but it means the $49/month headline is only part of the real monthly cost for most businesses.
4. Month-to-month pricing is 25–35% higher than annual
The Core plan is $49/month on annual billing and $69/month on monthly billing — a $240/year premium for flexibility. The Connect plan jumps from $129 to $169/month ($480/year difference). If you use Jobber for more than 4 months and you're confident it works for your operation, annual billing is always the right financial decision. Start with the free trial, run 2–3 months on monthly if you're unsure, then switch to annual when you're committed.

Is Jobber worth the price? Here's who should use it.
Jobber is not the right tool for every trade business. It's the right tool for specific business types where its strengths matter.
Worth it if you:
- Are a solo operator or 2–5 tech team doing recurring residential service
- Want the fastest possible setup (most teams are live in under a day)
- Need a client-facing quote approval and payment flow that actually works on mobile
- Do HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping or pest control
- Want to switch from paper or a generic calendar tool without a 3-week implementation
Look elsewhere if you:
- ✗Run 20+ trucks and need enterprise dispatch, payroll and marketing in one system (ServiceTitan — see pricing breakdown)
- ✗Have 5+ techs and want unlimited users at a flat rate (FieldPulse)
- ✗Want a built-in consumer booking marketplace to generate inbound leads (Housecall Pro)
- ✗Need heavy flat-rate pricebook management with built-in supplier catalogs

Jobber pricing — frequently asked
How much does Jobber cost per month?
Jobber starts at $19/month (Lite, 1 user, annual billing). The Core plan — the right starting point for most service businesses — is $49/month annual or $69/month-to-month. Connect is $129/month annual (up to 5 users) and Grow is $249/month annual (up to 15 users).
Does Jobber have a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. The trial gives access to Core features including scheduling, quoting, invoicing and the Client Hub. Enough to run real jobs and evaluate whether it fits your workflow.
Is Jobber cheaper than Housecall Pro?
Yes, significantly for small teams. Jobber Core ($49/month) vs. HCP Essentials ($169/month) — you save $120/month for comparable core functionality. The gap narrows as you add users. HCP has stronger marketing automation; Jobber has cleaner UI and faster setup.
Can I add more users to Jobber Core?
No — Core is limited to 1 user. A second tech who needs app access requires upgrading to Connect ($129/month, up to 5 users). If you're planning to hire, budget for Connect instead of upgrading mid-year.
Does Jobber include GPS tracking?
Yes — GPS tracking for field techs is included in Core and above. It shows real-time tech locations on the dispatch map and logs location history per job. Not available on the Lite plan.
Can I cancel Jobber anytime?
On monthly billing, yes. On annual plans, you're committed for 12 months. Start with monthly if you're unsure, switch to annual billing once you've verified Jobber fits your workflow — the savings are meaningful over a year.
