Jobber

Jobber is a complete back office for a small contractor, not a scheduling layer over another system. The whole loop sits in one product: send a quote, schedule the visit, route the crew, invoice when the job is done, take payment. Accounting is pushed out to QuickBooks or Xero rather than handled inside, which is the opposite of the Skedulo and Praxedo pattern; here Jobber is the operational system of record and the accounting package is downstream.

Pricing is fully published and genuinely self-serve. It is a matrix of plan by team size by commitment length rather than a simple ladder. The floor of the whole matrix is 29 per month for Core with 1 user when billed annually, rising to 39 on a one-year commitment and 49 with no commitment. Connect runs 99 to 299 annually depending on team size, Grow 149 to 399, and Plus 399 to 529. Extra users are 29 per month each. Jobber states savings of up to 25 percent with annual billing. The currency is a bare dollar sign with no ISO code, so USD is inferred from the US-targeted dot-com page; Jobber is a Canadian company and Canadian pricing may exist on other locale paths. There is a 14-day trial with full access to Grow plan features and no credit card required. There is no free plan.

• Offline working is genuinely unresolved on Jobber own sources, which is why this profile records it as unknown. A Jobber product update dated 18 March 2026 is titled Keep working in Jobber, even without internet, and opens by referencing basements, new-build sites and rural areas. But a Jobber Support Team reply on Jobber own community states the app does not support offline capabilities, with the exception of internal notes, and that files cannot be attached offline. The help centre separately states that to use both the app and the website you do need an internet connection. The support and help content may predate the March 2026 release, but the product update page itself returned 403 and the help centre still carries the contradicting text, so the honest answer is unknown. Anyone buying for low-coverage work must verify this directly with Jobber.
• A real GraphQL API, which is rare at this price point. Jobber operates a public Developer Center documenting OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens, a required GraphQL version header, Relay-style cursor pagination and published rate-limit rules including query-cost calculation. Note it is GraphQL, not REST.
• Published plans stop at 15 users, above which the page routes to Contact Sales.
• Jobber own pricing page contradicts itself on the Plus tier, with the plan wizard showing Plus starting at 399 per month including 15 users while the table lists 529 per month for Plus at 15 users billed annually. Confirm in-cart.

Good fit: small home-service and trades businesses, from a single operator up to about 15 users, that want one product covering quote to cash and are happy for accounting to live in QuickBooks or Xero. The published matrix pricing, 14-day no-card trial and self-serve signup make it unusually easy to evaluate without talking to anyone, which is worth real money when you are the owner-operator doing the evaluation in the evening. Plumbers, electricians, landscapers and similar trades are the named audience. The documented GraphQL API also makes it a reasonable choice for a small business with a developer who wants to automate something.

Poor fit: field teams larger than 15 users, who leave the self-serve model entirely. Also a poor fit where the field app must feed a corporate ERP: no SAP, Oracle, Business Central or NetSuite connectors were found, and accounting sync is one-way out of Jobber with named gaps, since Jobber Payments tips do not sync to Xero and overpayments must be reconciled by hand. Most importantly, it is a poor fit for crews who routinely work with no signal, at least until Jobber resolves the contradiction between its March 2026 offline announcement and its own support and help content saying an internet connection is required.

Typical use cases: residential plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping and cleaning businesses running a handful of crews; owner-operators who need professional quotes and fast invoicing more than they need enterprise scheduling; and small contractors who want a customer-facing portal, which Jobber calls Client Hub, without building one.
