How we grade them
| 1.8GPAFieldRoutesWeak | 2.8GPAJobberGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against the category's $35 to $99 spread and it sits in the ordinary band. The Growth and Corporate packages both say Request Pricing. | CCore is for 1 user, so three of you start on Connect: $149 a month billed yearly for up to 5 users, the middle of this category. These prices come from an archived copy of Jobber's pricing page from 16 October 2026, as its live page turned our reader away. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no self-serve trial; the site points to a demo or quote. | CA 14-day trial with Grow's features and no card needed. There's no free plan. |
| Features | CRouting, a dynamic scheduler, payments and autopay, a mobile app, dashboards and an API. Nothing on quoting or job costing is recorded, and Marketing Pro and Fleet Pro are ServiceTitan integrations. | BOnline booking, quotes clients approve online, scheduling, invoices with card, bank and Tap to Pay, a client hub, time tracking and QuickBooks or Xero sync. The whole job, though crew scheduling only comes with Plus at $399. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Routes and recurring service schedules have to be built up before it pays off. | A4.8 from 21,285 App Store ratings, the top band for this category. The crew app runs the day's schedule, timers and payments, and team members can use it in Spanish. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with an API and links to ServiceTitan Marketing Pro and Fleet Pro. The pages don't list which phones the app runs on. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zapier, Gusto and Mailchimp. No desktop app, so it tops out at a B. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
