Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 14 of the 15 other field service apps we grade
Jobber is field service software for home service businesses such as lawn care, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing and roofing. It covers online booking, quotes, scheduling, invoicing and payments, a client hub, and iOS and Android apps for the crew. It is sold in four plans whose price steps up with the number of users, with lower prices for a yearly commitment.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Jobber, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The crew app runs the day's schedule, timers and payments, and team members can use it in Spanish.
- 1
Best for home service businesses growing into a team
Read the small print on yearly plans, though: they're paid up front and not refunded.
- 2
Paid plans start at $29 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $29 per month for 1 user, billed annually ($49 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial with the Grow plan's features, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Quotes and upsells
Send quotes that customers approve online, with automatic follow-ups from Connect, and from Grow add photos, reviews and optional line items to upsell.
- 6
Online booking and scheduling
Customers book from your website, jobs go on a shared schedule, and from Connect clients get automatic reminders. Plus adds crew scheduling.
- 7
Invoicing and payments
Invoices with batch billing and progress invoicing, card and bank payments, tips, Tap to Pay on a phone, and automatic charges for recurring work.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 14 of 15
That is against the other field service apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of Jobber you could make: job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, appointment booking and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for home service businesses growing into a team
Jobber is the polished all-rounder for lawn care, cleaning and other home services, and its app averages 4.8 from 21,285 ratings. A crew of three needs Connect at $149 a month billed yearly. Read the small print on yearly plans, though: they're paid up front and not refunded.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Core 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 | C | A 14-day trial with Grow's features and no card needed. There's no free plan. |
| Features | B | Online 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 | A | 4.8 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 | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zapier, Gusto and Mailchimp. No desktop app, so it tops out at a B. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Jobber is for
- Great if you run lawn care, cleaning or another business built on repeat visits
- Handy when you want clients to book, approve quotes and pay online
- Good for solo operators who plan to add a couple of people later
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you might want money back on a yearly plan, since annual plans aren't refunded
- Pricey if you want the AI Receptionist or Marketing Suite, which are $29 and $99 a month extra below Plus
- Tight if you need crew scheduling, which only comes with Plus at $399 a month
Good to know
Good for
- Lawn care, cleaning and other home service businesses with recurring visits

Worth knowing
- Price steps up at 1, 5, 10 and 15 users, and extra users cost $29 a month each.

- Online card payments cost 2.9% + 30¢, Tap to Pay 2.7% + 30¢ and bank payments 1%; instant payouts add 1%.
- Marketing Suite ($99/mo), AI Receptionist ($29/mo) and Pipeline ($49/mo) are add-ons below the Plus plan.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Jobber you could make: job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, appointment booking and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 14 of the 15 other field service apps we grade. It costs $348 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, appointment booking and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Zapier among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Jobber’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
