Jobber vs FieldPulse
Quick Answer
Jobber wins for solo operators and small teams (1–4 techs) who want the best mobile app and easiest setup. FieldPulse wins for teams of 5+ where the flat monthly fee makes it cheaper, or operations running multiple trades from one account.
The core difference is pricing model. Jobber charges per user — FieldPulse charges a flat monthly fee. That single factor determines which is right for your business size. Here's the full breakdown.

Bernard's verdict
Bottom line
The decision is almost entirely a math problem. Take your current team size and multiply it by Jobber's per-user cost. If that number is higher than FieldPulse's flat fee — switch. If it's lower — stay with Jobber and enjoy the better mobile app and easier onboarding.
Where FieldPulse genuinely wins on features (not just price): flat-rate pricebook and multi-trade support. If either of those is a pain point with Jobber, FieldPulse is worth a serious look regardless of team size. The mobile app quality gap is real — Jobber's field techs get a better day-to-day experience. But that gap narrows if your operation has grown to where Jobber's pricing model has become the bigger frustration.
