Jobber Pricing 2026: Full Breakdown of Every Tier
Jobber publishes a $29/mo headline price, but that's the effective rate after a 12-month prepaid commitment. The honest monthly entry is $49/mo. Here is every tier, every add-on, and what it actually costs a solo operator — with citations on every claim.
We're Ruunly. We compete with Jobber at the solo-operator price point. We'll be upfront about where they're genuinely better, too.

What does Jobber actually cost a solo operator?
A realistic monthly bill for a solo lawn care, cleaning, or pool operator who wants the basics: scheduling, invoicing, email marketing, and reviews.
Jobber: realistic solo bill
- Jobber Core (monthly billing)$49.00
- Email campaigns add-on$29.00
- Reviews add-on$39.00
- Subtotal$117.00/mo
Excludes payment processing fees (2.9% + $0.30/card) on every customer transaction. Excludes AI Receptionist ($99/mo) if you want it.
Ruunly: same operator
- Ruunly Starter$19.00
- Website included—
- Recurring membership billing included—
- Customer portal included—
- Total$19.00/mo
You connect your own Stripe account — Ruunly doesn't mark up payment processing. You pay Stripe's rate directly.
That's a $98/mo difference, or roughly $1,176/year. For a solo operator with 50 customers, that's real money.
Where Jobber is genuinely better
We're not going to pretend Ruunly wins every category. Jobber is the right tool for several use cases:
- —Multi-truck dispatch and GPS routing. If you have 3+ technicians in the field at once and need to see where they are and route them efficiently between jobs, Jobber's depth here is unmatched at any price point. Ruunly doesn't compete on this.
- —AI Receptionist for 24/7 call answering. Their $99/mo AI Receptionist has handled 200,000+ conversations. If "never missing a call" is the #1 business problem you're solving, that's a real product.
- —Established ecosystem. Jobber has been at this for over a decade. The integrations, the Academy content, the deep QuickBooks sync — those compound over time. Ruunly is newer.
Where Ruunly is the better fit
- —Solo and small-crew operators. If you're by yourself or you're a 2-3 person crew, you don't need GPS dispatching. You need a website, recurring billing, and a customer portal — at a price you can swallow. That bundle is $19/mo on Ruunly, vs. $49+ on Jobber before add-ons.
- —Membership lifecycle, end-to-end. Jobber bolted recurring jobs onto a scheduling product. Ruunly was built around the membership: join, pause, resume, downgrade, cancel — every state, every email, every dunning attempt. If your business model is monthly service plans, this isn't a feature, it's the whole product.
- —Everything bundled, no per-user tax. Email campaigns, reviews, customer portal, website — all included. No $29/user fees as you grow from solo to a two-person crew. Pricing stays flat.
- —Your own Stripe account. Payments go through Stripe Connect into your own account at Stripe's standard rates. Ruunly doesn't mark up the processing fees the way most field-service platforms do.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Jobber actually cost per month?
Jobber Core, the entry tier, is $49/mo on month-to-month billing for one user. The $29/mo number you see on their site is the effective rate after committing to 12 months prepaid upfront. Connect is $139/mo monthly, Grow is $199/mo monthly, and Plus is $699/mo monthly. Add-ons like email campaigns ($29/mo), reviews ($39/mo), and AI Receptionist ($99/mo) push the real bill higher.
What are the hidden fees in Jobber pricing?
Three categories. (1) Per-user fees of $29/mo for every user beyond the seat limit on your tier. (2) Add-on fees for things bundled by competitors: email campaigns are $29/mo on Core/Connect, reviews are $39/mo on Core/Connect, AI Receptionist is $99/mo unless you're on the Plus tier. (3) Payment processing through Jobber Payments at 2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction. Source: Jobber's published pricing and marketing add-on help pages, verified 2026-05-30.
What does Jobber actually cost a solo operator?
A realistic Jobber bill for a solo operator who wants email marketing and reviews: $49 (Core monthly) + $29 (email add-on) + $39 (reviews add-on) = $117/mo. That's before processing fees on every customer payment. Ruunly's Starter tier is $19/mo with email, reviews, and a website included. For just the bookkeeping, Jobber Core alone at $49/mo is still 2.5x Ruunly's full Starter price.
Is Jobber worth it?
It depends on what you're doing. Jobber is genuinely better for businesses running multiple trucks, dispatching multiple technicians, and needing GPS routing and real-time crew location — that's their core competency and they've invested heavily in it. For a solo operator or a 2-3 person crew focused on memberships and recurring service revenue, Jobber is overbuilt and over-priced. Ruunly's $19/mo membership-first model fits that smaller use case better.
Does Jobber have a free tier?
No. Jobber offers a 14-day free trial but does not have a permanent free tier. The lowest entry point is $49/mo on monthly billing, or $29/mo effective after committing to a year prepaid. Source: Jobber pricing page, verified 2026-05-30.
What is the cheapest Jobber alternative?
Ruunly starts at $19/mo with a website, membership billing, and a customer portal included. It does not have Jobber's multi-truck dispatching or GPS routing — those are intentional omissions to keep the price low. For solo operators selling monthly service plans, Ruunly is the cheaper, simpler choice. See /compare/jobber for the full feature-by-feature comparison.
Can I cancel Jobber anytime?
Month-to-month plans can be cancelled at the end of the current billing period. Annual prepaid plans are non-refundable for the remainder of the 12-month commitment — that's how Jobber subsidizes the lower effective rate. If you're not sure you'll stick around, the monthly plan ($49/mo Core) is the safer choice even though it costs more per month.
Does Jobber charge per user?
Yes. Each tier includes a fixed number of seats (1 on Core, 5 on Connect, 10 on Grow, 15 on Plus), and every additional user costs $29/mo. If you grow from solo to a two-person crew on Core, your bill jumps from $49 to $78. Ruunly's tiers are flat — no per-user fees on any plan.
