Core plan: $49/month (1 user)

The Core plan is where most solo operators start. You get the fundamentals: a scheduling calendar, client management, quoting, invoicing, and payment collection. It syncs with QuickBooks or Xero, which means your bookkeeper won’t hate you.

The client hub is included here too: that’s the portal where customers can approve quotes, view upcoming appointments, and pay invoices online. It’s a nice professional touch that used to require the higher tier.

What Core does well:

• Clean scheduling calendar with job details
• Professional quotes and invoices
• Online payment collection (credit card, ACH)
• Basic client management with job history
• Expense tracking

What Core is missing:

• GPS tracking (you can’t see where your techs are)
• Automated reminders and follow-ups
• Online booking page
• Job forms and checklists
• Route optimization

For a solo operator or a two-person shop where you’re always with your one employee, Core covers the basics. You’re replacing paper invoices and a whiteboard schedule with something professional.

Who should stay on Core: One-person operations or someone with a single helper who rides along. If you don’t need to track anyone’s location or automate your follow-ups, Core saves you $80/month over Connect.

Connect plan: $129/month (up to 5 users)

Connect is where Jobber starts feeling like a real business tool rather than a digital notepad. The additions matter: GPS tracking, automated follow-ups, online booking, and job forms.

GPS tracking means you can see where your techs are in real time. When a customer calls asking “where’s my plumber?” you actually have an answer. It also helps with dispatching: you can send the nearest available tech to an urgent job.

Automated follow-ups are the sleeper feature here. Jobber will automatically text or email customers after a quote is sent (reminder to approve), after a job is completed (request a review), or when an invoice is overdue. This alone can recover thousands in forgotten follow-ups.

Online booking adds a scheduling page you can put on your website. Customers pick a time slot, it goes on your calendar. No phone tag.

What Connect adds over Core:

• GPS tracking for all team members
• Automated email/text follow-ups
• Online booking page
• Job forms and checklists
• Team scheduling with drag-and-drop dispatch

Who should be on Connect: Any business with 2–5 people where you’re not always riding along with your crew. The GPS tracking and automated follow-ups justify the price bump. If you send techs out independently, you need this tier.

Grow plan: $249/month (up to 15 users)

Grow is for established service businesses that want to professionalize everything. The headline features are job costing, quote follow-ups, and two-way texting.

Job costing tracks your actual costs against estimates for every job. You’ll see which jobs are profitable and which ones are eating your margins. Over time, this data helps you quote more accurately: you stop underpricing complex jobs.

Quote follow-ups automatically remind customers who haven’t responded to your estimate. Jobber reports that automated quote follow-ups recover an average of 25% more approved quotes. That math usually pays for the plan upgrade by itself.

Two-way texting lets you have real conversations with customers directly in Jobber. Everything is logged on the client record, so your whole team has context. No more lost text threads on someone’s personal phone.

What Grow adds over Connect:

• Job costing and profitability tracking
• Automated quote follow-ups
• Two-way text messaging
• Line item images on quotes
• Optional add-on users beyond 15

Who should be on Grow: Businesses with 5–15 people that want to stop leaving money on the table. If you’re sending 20+ quotes per month and not following up on all of them, the quote follow-up automation alone is worth $120/month. If you want to understand your true job profitability, you need Grow.

Add-ons and extra costs to know about

Additional users beyond plan limits: If you outgrow 15 users on Grow, Jobber offers custom pricing. Expect roughly $15–25 per additional user per month.

Payment processing fees: Jobber Payments charges 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction and 1% for ACH/bank transfers. These are standard rates: comparable to Square or Stripe.

Optional add-ons:

• Mailchimp integration (included on Connect+)
• FleetSharp GPS integration (separate subscription)
• Zapier connections (Zapier subscription required)

There’s no setup fee for any plan, and you can cancel anytime on monthly billing.

Annual vs monthly: the savings math

Paying annually saves roughly 20% across all tiers:

• Core: $39/mo vs $49/mo = saves $120/year
• Connect: $109/mo vs $129/mo = saves $240/year
• Grow: $209/mo vs $249/mo = saves $480/year

If you’re confident you’ll stick with Jobber (and most people do: the switching cost of moving your client database is real), annual billing is the obvious choice. The Grow plan saves you $480/year, which is basically getting two months free.

When to upgrade plans

Core → Connect: Upgrade when you hire your first employee who works independently. GPS tracking and automated follow-ups become essential once you’re not physically with your team every day.

Connect → Grow: Upgrade when you’re sending enough quotes that follow-up becomes impossible to do manually, or when you want to actually understand which jobs make you money. The trigger is usually hitting 5+ employees and 30+ quotes per month.

Jobber vs Housecall Pro at similar price points

At the $65–169/month range, you’re comparing Jobber Connect ($129/mo, 5 users) against Housecall Pro Essentials ($169/mo, 5 users).

Jobber wins on: cleaner interface, Xero integration, client hub portal, and simpler onboarding.

Housecall Pro wins on: mobile app quality, built-in marketing tools (postcards, review management), and customer text notifications.

If marketing matters to you and you’re QuickBooks-only, Housecall Pro delivers more at that price point. If you want a tighter interface and use Xero, Jobber is the better fit.

FAQ

Is the Core plan enough for a solo plumber or electrician?

Yes, if you’re genuinely solo and don’t need GPS tracking or automated follow-ups. You get scheduling, invoicing, quoting, and payment collection: the essentials. Most solo operators find Core sufficient for their first year, then upgrade to Connect once they hire help.

Can I add users to a plan without upgrading?

Not on Core or Connect: those have fixed user limits (1 and 5 respectively). On Grow, you can add users beyond 15 for an additional per-user fee. If you need 6–7 users, you’ll need to jump to Grow at $249/month, which is the most common pricing complaint about Jobber.

Does Jobber charge per technician like ServiceTitan?

No. Jobber charges a flat monthly rate per plan, not per user. This is a major cost advantage. A 15-person team on Jobber Grow costs $249/month total. On ServiceTitan, that same team would cost roughly $3,675/month ($245 × 15 techs). The trade-off is that ServiceTitan offers more advanced dispatching and reporting features.

Is there a free trial?

Yes: Jobber offers a 14-day free trial on any plan with no credit card required. That’s enough time to import some clients, schedule a few jobs, and see if the interface clicks for you and your team.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Your data is preserved if you downgrade plans. You’ll lose access to features on the higher tier (like job costing data on Grow), but the historical information remains and becomes accessible again if you upgrade later. Client records, job history, and invoices stay intact across all plan changes.
