Jobber pricing breakdown
Frustrated with Jobber's pricing? You're not alone.
Jobber is one of the most widely used field-service platforms for home service businesses. It is also one of the more expensive options at the solo-operator price point. Here is an honest look at why, and what your alternatives are.
Why Jobber costs what it does
Tier structure forces upgrades for common features
Jobber's Core plan starts at $49/mo on monthly billing (or $29/mo effective on an annual prepaid plan with a 12-month commitment). Marketing features like email campaigns cost an extra $29/mo add-on. Reviews cost an extra $39/mo add-on. [source: Jobber marketing add-ons help] Jobber's Connect plan is $79/mo monthly. Grow is $169/mo monthly. [source: Jobber pricing page]
Built for teams, not just solos
Jobber is a full field-service platform: GPS dispatching, multi-crew routing, quote management, technician apps, and a client portal. Those features cost real money to build and maintain. If you are a solo operator and you are not using GPS dispatching or multi-crew routing, you are paying for capabilities you may not need.
Per-user fees on top of the plan
Jobber charges $29/user/mo beyond the included seat limit. [source: Jobber pricing page] If you bring on a helper or a second employee, the bill increases.
What Ruunly does differently
We are not saying Ruunly is the right choice for every business — Jobber has real depth in dispatch, GPS, and multi-crew operations that we do not have. But for a solo service owner whose primary goal is selling monthly plans and managing a simple customer roster, Ruunly is built for that model:
- —Starts at $19/mo. Website, billing, and a client portal included.
- —Recurring service plan billing on every tier — not just the top tier.
- —Email campaigns included on Pro+ — not a $29/mo add-on.
- —No GPS dispatching or multi-crew routing — that is an intentional tradeoff for lower cost and simpler setup.
