Ruunly vs Jobber

Jobber is for jobs. Ruunly is for building recurring revenue.

Jobber is mature field-service software for multi-crew dispatch operations at $169-270/mo. Ruunly bundles the same operations toolkit a 1- to 5-person crew actually uses — recurring billing, AI website, on-my-way share-link, crew time clock, multi-tier estimates, lead inbox, loyalty + tipping — at $19/mo flat.

Why service businesses switch to Ruunly

Lower starting cost for owner-operators

Ruunly is $19/mo flat. Jobber Core is $49/mo monthly ($29/mo annual prepaid with 12-month commitment). To get Jobber's time-tracking + marketing tools you need Connect ($169/mo) or Grow ($270/mo).

More included at the entry tier

Ruunly Pro bundles lead inbox + sequences, email + SMS broadcasts, lead scoring, review requests, NPS, loyalty + tipping, missed-call text-back, weather alerts, and custom domain. Jobber sells most of these as $29-39/mo add-ons.

Plan-first setup

Ruunly is built around selling monthly, seasonal, or annual plans from your website. Jobber focuses on quoting and scheduling individual jobs — recurring is bolted on, not the spine.

Faster website launch

Ruunly builds your AI-generated site during setup with plan sign-up wired in from day one. Jobber also offers a website, but Ruunly's is plan-signup-ready instantly.

When to choose Jobber instead

If you have 10+ trucks running daily routes with a dedicated dispatcher, Jobber Grow ($270/mo) earns its price — multi-crew dispatch routing is genuinely deeper than what we ship. Owner-operator or small crew? Ruunly is cheaper, faster to set up, and more bundled.

Common questions

Can I switch from Jobber to Ruunly?

Yes. Export your customers from Jobber as a CSV and import them into Ruunly in minutes. Your website goes live the same day.

Jobber has a website now — why choose Ruunly?

Both include websites. The difference is what the website does. Ruunly's site is built around plan sign-up and recurring billing from day one. If your goal is selling monthly service plans (not just booking one-off jobs), Ruunly is purpose-built for that.

Does Ruunly handle dispatching like Jobber?

Ruunly ships an On-My-Way share-link with live ETA, crew time clock + timesheets, and route day view — enough for most 1- to 5-person operations. What we don't ship is enterprise multi-crew dispatch routing across dozens of techs daily; that's Jobber Grow ($270/mo) territory. If you have a dispatcher running daily routes for 10+ trucks, choose Jobber. If you're owner-operator or small crew, Ruunly's lighter operations toolkit is included at $19/mo.

What features does Ruunly include that Jobber charges extra for?

On Ruunly Pro+: lead inbox + sequences, email + SMS broadcasts, lead scoring, audience segments, review requests, NPS surveys, loyalty rewards, tipping, missed-call text-back, weather alerts, custom domain. Jobber gates Reviews ($39/mo), Campaigns ($29/mo), and time-tracking behind separate add-ons or higher tiers ($169-270/mo).
