Is Jobber expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? That depends entirely on your team size.
In 2025, Jobber pricing starts at $39/month for solopreneurs and scales up to $349/month for growing teams.
But looking at the sticker price is the wrong way to make this decision. You need to look at the “Admin Time” cost. If a software saves you 10 hours of paperwork a week, it effectively pays for itself in two days.
In this guide, we break down the hidden costs, the real difference between “Connect” and “Grow,” and why picking the cheapest plan might be the most expensive mistake you make this year.
At a Glance: The 3 Main Plans (2025)
Prices listed are based on annual billing. Monthly billing is roughly 20-30% higher.
| Plan Name | Price (Annual) | Best For… | The “Must Have” Feature |
| Core | $39 / mo | Solo Operators | Online Booking & Quoting |
| Connect | $119 / mo | Teams (1-5 People) | Automated Reminders & QuickBooks Sync |
| Grow | $199 / mo | Scaling Brands | Marketing Automation & 2-Way Texting |
Pro Tip: Jobber offers a 14-Day Free Trial with no credit card required. I highly recommend starting the trial on the Grow plan to test the automation features, even if you plan to downgrade later.
Deep Dive: The Core Plan ($39/mo)
The “Digital Business Card”
This plan is designed for the “Chuck in a Truck” who is tired of using carbon copy paper pads. If you are a one-man army, this is your entry point.
- What you get: You look professional. You can send a link to a client to approve a quote and pay by credit card. You get the full CRM to manage your client database.
- The Trap: You cannot send automated text reminders. You have to remember to email or text clients manually to confirm appointments.
- Verdict: Good for starting, but if you have even one employee, you will outgrow this immediately.
Deep Dive: The Connect Plan ($119/mo)
The “Sweet Spot” for Small Teams
This is the most popular plan for a reason. If you run a team of 1-5 people, this is the operational standard.
- The Killer Feature: Automated Reminders. How much money do you lose when a client “forgets” you were coming and isn’t home? If this feature prevents just one no-show or locked gate per month, the subscription pays for itself instantly.
- QuickBooks Sync: This plan unlocks the QuickBooks Online integration. This means when you get paid in Jobber, it automatically updates your accounting. No more double-data entry on Sunday nights.
Deep Dive: The Grow Plan ($199/mo)
The “Business Manager” in a Box
This plan is for owners who want to get “off the tools” and focus on sales.
- The Killer Feature: Quote Follow-Ups. Jobber will automatically text/email clients who haven’t approved your quote yet. It effectively chases the money for you while you sleep.
- 2-Way Texting: You can text clients directly from the app (and they can reply), keeping your personal cell phone number private.
The “Hidden Costs” No One Tells You About
While the monthly fees are transparent, there are two costs you need to factor into your budget:
1. Additional Users ($29/mo) The plans come with a set number of “seats” (users).
- Core: 1 User
- Connect: Up to 5 Users
- Grow: Up to 15 Users
- The Cost: If you are on Core and hire an assistant, you have to pay an extra $29/month for them to have a login.
2. Credit Card Processing Fees (2.7% – 2.9%) This isn’t a “Jobber fee”—it’s a standard Visa/Mastercard fee. However, Jobber Payments is the only way to get the “Instant Payout” feature. You need to price your services 3% higher to cover this convenience.
Jobber vs. The Competition (Price Comparison)
How does Jobber stack up against the other big players in 2025?
| Software | Starting Price | Setup Fee? | Best For |
| Jobber | $39/mo | $0 | User Experience (UX) |
| Housecall Pro | $49/mo | $0 | HVAC / Plumbing Specifics |
| ServiceTitan | ~$398/mo | High ($2k+) | Enterprise (20+ Trucks) |
The Takeaway:
- ServiceTitan is overkill unless you have 20+ trucks.
- Housecall Pro is a strong competitor, but Jobber’s mobile app is generally considered easier for non-tech-savvy crews to use.
Final Verdict: Which One Should You Buy?
Don’t overcomplicate this. Here is your decision tree:
- If you are alone and just want to look professional: Start with Core ($39).
- If you hate admin work and want the software to chase clients for you: Get Connect ($119). The automated texts save roughly 5 hours a week.
- If you want to grow aggressive sales: Get Grow ($199). The marketing automation brings in new leads on autopilot.
