The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Canada-specific notes below against your trade and region.
Jobber (Canadian-founded)
Tier S · Published pricesField service software founded in Edmonton, sold in Canada with plans listed in US dollars
Jobber is field service management software for home and commercial service businesses, founded in 2011 in Edmonton by Sam Pillar and Forrest Zeisler. It is privately held; General Atlantic led its $100 million USD Series D in 2023. Jobber says more than 100,000 businesses and 400,000 service pros in over 50 industries and more than 70 countries use it, and its careers page lists office hubs in Edmonton, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Vancouver.
Pros
- + Canadian company: founded in Edmonton, with office hubs in Edmonton, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and Vancouver
- + Published pricing, from $49/mo month-to-month and less when billed annually
- + Several tax rates can be grouped and shown as separate lines on quotes and invoices
- + 14-day free trial of the Grow plan with no credit card
Cons
- − Plans are listed in US dollars, not CAD
- − Sales tax is added to the subscription where the province taxes SaaS
- − Extra users cost $29/mo each, so the bill rises with crew size
- − No French-language support advertised on the pages we read
Canada note
Jobber's help center says its pricing plans are listed in USD, and sales tax is added to the subscription when the billing address is in a province that taxes software as a service. For client invoices, Jobber lets you set up several tax rates and combine them into a tax group that shows each rate separately, so GST and PST can appear as separate lines, and a tax ID such as a GST number can print on every invoice. The Jobber pages we read do not advertise CAD pricing or French-language support.
Method:CRM
Tier S · Published pricesToronto-based CRM with a real-time, two-way QuickBooks sync, plus a separate CRM for Xero users
Method:CRM is made by Method Integration, whose careers page places its office in downtown Toronto. It is a customizable CRM built around what Method calls a real-time, two-way sync with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, with a separate version for Xero, and covers leads, estimates, customer portals, work orders and workflow automation. Scheduling and dispatch for field crews are sold separately as Method:Field Services. Method says more than 18,000 users rely on it.
Pros
- + Real-time, two-way sync with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, and a separate Xero version
- + Canadian customers are billed in CAD
- + Customizable fields, templates and workflows
- + 10-day free trial with no credit card
Cons
- − Per-user pricing ($35 to $97 per user a month) grows with headcount
- − Crew scheduling and dispatch is a separate Method:Field Services product with its own licenses
- − A general small-business CRM, not built only for trades, so it needs setup for your workflow
- − CAD amounts are not shown on the pricing page
Canada note
Method Integration's office is in downtown Toronto, and its pricing page says Canadian customers are billed in CAD while all other customers are billed in USD. The listed prices are shown in US dollars only.
