Pricing
Jobber: four plans, priced by team size
Jobber prices Core, Connect, Grow, Plus by team size. The figures below are each plan's price at its smallest team size; the price rises as you add users on the pricing page's team-size selector, and extra users cost $29 a month each. Checked against getjobber.com/pricing on 2026-10-22.
Correction, 2026-09-10: our 2026-08-27 check reported that Jobber had retired the Plus plan. It had not; Plus is still sold, and the table below includes it.
| Plan (smallest team) | Billed annually | Month to month (no commitment) |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $29/mo | $49/mo |
| Connect | $99/mo | $139/mo |
| Grow | $149/mo | $199/mo |
| Plus | $399/mo | $499/mo |
Jobber also sells a 1-year commitment billed monthly, priced between the annual and month-to-month rates; our data does not record those prices.
Housecall Pro: three plans with users included
Checked against housecallpro.com/pricing on 2026-10-22.
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Users included | Extra user |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $59/mo | $79/mo | 1 | Not listed |
| Essentials | $149/mo | $189/mo | 5 | Not listed |
| MAX | $299/mo | $329/mo | 8 | $35/mo |
Housecall Pro's cost by team size
Housecall Pro publishes how many users each plan includes, so its annual-billed cost at a team size can be worked out: the cheapest plan that includes your headcount. Our data records an extra-user price only for MAX, so the table uses Basic and Essentials only up to the users they include. It does not account for features: QuickBooks Online sync starts on Essentials, so a one-person shop that needs it pays $149, not $59.
| Team size | Cheapest Housecall Pro plan | Cost (billed annually) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 user | Basic | $59/mo |
| 2 users | Essentials | $149/mo |
| 5 users | Essentials | $149/mo |
| 6 users | MAX | $299/mo |
| 8 users | MAX | $299/mo |
| 10 users | MAX | $369/mo |
| 15 users | MAX | $544/mo |
| 20 users | MAX | $719/mo |
Computed at build time from the plan prices, users included and extra-user fee in our Housecall Pro entry. There is no Jobber column: Jobber's pricing page shows the price for each team size through a selector, and our data records only each plan's smallest-team price and the $29 extra-user fee.
Housecall Pro's subscription price does not include card processing: its in-app processing starts at 2.59% a transaction, so at that rate about $5,750 of card payments a month costs as much in fees as the Essentials plan ($149). Our Jobber entry does not record Jobber's processing rates; ask Jobber, and compare both at your own card volume.
Where Jobber comes out ahead in our data
- Entry price. $29 a month billed annually at the smallest team size, against $59 for one user on Housecall Pro.
- Fit score. Higher for Landscaping & Lawn Care (9 vs 7), Cleaning Services (9 vs 8), Handyman Services (9 vs 8).
- Integrations listed for Jobber only: Xero, Stripe, Google Calendar, Gusto.
Where Housecall Pro comes out ahead in our data
- QuickBooks Desktop. Housecall Pro syncs with QuickBooks Desktop (US Windows versions, one way, from Housecall Pro to QuickBooks). Jobber does not sync with QuickBooks Desktop; its QuickBooks Online sync runs one way, and Desktop users are limited to a manual CSV import.
- Fit score. Higher for Appliance Repair (8 vs 7).
- Integrations listed for Housecall Pro only: QuickBooks Desktop, CallRail, CompanyCam, Thumbtack.
What both offer
- Free trial. 14 days, no card on both (Jobber's trial runs on its Grow plan).
- Consumer financing through Wisetack on quotes, for US businesses. Our Jobber entry records that financing through Jobber excludes pool and spa, residential and commercial cleaning, window washing and snow removal; our Housecall Pro entry records a flat 3.9% fee on the financed amount for jobs from $500 to $25,000, per Housecall Pro's help center. Check eligibility with either vendor.
- Google Local Services Ads. Both list a booking integration.
- Online booking on every plan.
Recorded for Housecall Pro only: review management and live phone and chat support on every plan, per its pricing page. Our Jobber entry records neither; check Jobber's plan page.
When to look at other tools
- Commercial or large multi-location work. Our Housecall Pro entry calls it residential-first and points commercial contractors that need project tracking, progress billing or AIA billing to platforms built for commercial work, such as BuildOps. Our Jobber entry says it is built for small and mid-size crews rather than large multi-location operations.
- A dispatcher phone system. Jobber's AI Receptionist answers calls and texts, but Jobber does not sell a phone system with call routing and recording. Our Housecall Pro entry lists a CallRail integration and no phone system. Workiz's entry lists a built-in phone system with call masking.
- Parts inventory. No Jobber plan advertises inventory management, and our Housecall Pro entry does not list it. ServiceTitan and BuildOps list inventory among their features (both quote-only).

Switching between them
Both import customers from a CSV file. Our data does not record which other records either one imports or exports. Before you switch, ask both vendors which records move (customers, jobs, invoices, recurring work, price books), in which file format, and whether they help with the import, and ask whether customers' saved cards can move to the new payment processor or must be collected again.
Frequently asked questions
Is Jobber or Housecall Pro cheaper?
At the entry level, Jobber: Core starts at $29 a month billed annually (at the smallest team size), against $59 for Housecall Pro Basic (1 user). Past that it depends on your team size and the features you need. Housecall Pro includes 5 users on Essentials ($149) and 8 on MAX ($299, then $35 a month per extra user); Jobber prices every plan by team size and charges $29 a month per extra user. Price your own team on both pricing pages.
Which is better for HVAC or plumbing?
Our fit scores do not separate them there: both score 9/10 for HVAC and 9/10 for plumbing. The differences are elsewhere: QuickBooks (Housecall Pro syncs with QuickBooks Online from Essentials and with QuickBooks Desktop one way; Jobber syncs one way to QuickBooks Online only), recurring work (Housecall Pro's MAX plan adds recurring service plans; Jobber supports recurring jobs and visits but has no dedicated membership-plan module), and how each price grows with your team.
How does Jobber's team-size pricing work?
Jobber prices all four plans (Core, Connect, Grow, Plus) by team size. At each plan's smallest team the annual-billed rates are $29 / $99 / $149 / $399 a month ($49 / $139 / $199 / $499 month to month), and extra users cost $29 a month each. Our data records only those smallest-team prices, so price your own team size on Jobber's pricing page. Correction: our 2026-08-27 check reported that the Plus plan had been retired; Jobber still sells it (re-checked 2026-09-10).
What does Housecall Pro cost for a 6-person shop?
$299 a month billed annually on MAX, which includes 8 users. Essentials ($149) includes 5 users, and our data records no extra-user price for it, so ask Housecall Pro whether a sixth user can be added to Essentials and at what price.
Can I switch from Housecall Pro to Jobber (or back)?
Both import customers from a CSV file. Our data does not record which other records either one imports or exports. Ask both vendors which records move (customers, jobs, invoices, recurring work, price books), in which file format, and whether they help with the import, and ask whether customers' saved cards can move to the new payment processor or must be collected again.
Do these prices include payment processing?
Not for Housecall Pro: its in-app card processing starts at 2.59% a transaction, with instant payouts available. Our Jobber entry does not record Jobber's processing rates, so ask Jobber. Compare the effective rate for your card mix on both before the subscription price decides it.
