Jobber pricing: what each plan costs and includes

2026-09-24 · 7 min read

It's Tuesday night. On the kitchen table there's a stack of carbon-copy invoices and a phone with eleven texts you haven't answered, and the laptop is open to Jobber's pricing page. You run a two-truck plumbing or HVAC outfit, you're done chasing paper, and you want a number before you sit through a demo.

Here is Jobber pricing as the company publishes it: the four plans, what each one adds, the costs that sit outside the plan price, and which parts of the week stay manual on the cheaper tiers. Every figure below comes from Jobber's pricing page, which I checked on September 24, 2026. Jobber changes its offers often, so look at the page again before you decide.

How much is Jobber per month?

Jobber sells four plans. This is what the page showed for monthly billing with no commitment, and for paying a year up front:

Plan Monthly, no commitment Annual, prepaid Built for
Core $49/mo $21/mo for 12 months, then $29/mo A solo pro getting organized
Connect $139/mo $70/mo for 12 months, then $99/mo Pros who want reminders and follow-ups automated
Grow $199/mo $105/mo for 12 months, then $149/mo Contractors going after bigger jobs
Plus $499/mo $280/mo for 12 months, then $399/mo Teams running several crews

Your team size moves these numbers. At the top of the page is a selector that runs from "Just me" through 2-5, 6-10 and 11-15 people up to "16 or more," and the number of users included in each plan changes with it. Beyond what a plan includes, extra users are $29 a month each. Pick your real headcount before you write anything down.

The first-year discounts are a promotion. The page says the offer ends September 30 and is for new customers only. There's also a middle option, monthly billing with a one-year commitment, which knocks money off the first three months and then goes back up. Budget with the "then" price, since that's what you'll pay from year two on.

What each Jobber plan includes

Each plan includes everything in the one below it. From the plan cards:

Core covers online booking and scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a basic website, built-in reporting, and links to more than 100 other tools through Jobber's app marketplace.

Connect adds automated client reminders, automatic payment collection, job checklists, automated quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.

Grow adds quotes with photos and reviews, optional line items for upsells, automatic time tracking, job costing, two-way texting with customers, and custom workflow automations.

Plus adds unlimited job photos and videos, crew scheduling, expense automation that warns you when a job's profit slips, custom reports, Pipeline for tracking leads, Marketing Suite, Jobber's automated receptionist, dedicated onboarding and premium support.

Costs outside the plan price

None of these are in the monthly figure, but all of them are on the same page:

Item Price on Jobber's page
Extra users $29/mo each
Marketing Suite add-on $99/mo
Receptionist add-on $29/mo
Pipeline add-on $49/mo
Card payments 2.9% + 30¢
Tap to Pay 2.7% + 30¢
Bank payments (ACH) 1%
Instant payouts an additional 1%

The processing fees are easy to skip past when you're comparing plans. If most customers pay by card through Jobber, that percentage comes off every invoice, so run last month's revenue through it and see what it comes to.

The page also offers a 14-day free trial of the Grow plan, no credit card required. Pay attention to which features you actually use in those two weeks. The trial runs on Grow, and you may end up buying Core or Connect.

Which Jobber plan a small crew actually needs

For most small shops the step that matters is Core to Connect. Core gets your schedule, quotes and invoices off paper and into one place, but it won't remind customers or follow up on open quotes and unpaid invoices. Connect does both. That's the point where the software starts chasing people so you don't have to.

Grow is worth it once you're quoting bigger jobs, where options and photos help close the sale, or once you want to text customers back and forth from inside Jobber. Plus fits a business with several crews and someone running the office.

I'd skip the feature-by-feature comparison and start from your week instead. Write down which jobs you want off your plate, then find the cheapest plan that takes them.

What stays manual on the cheaper plans

Even with Jobber running, some work keeps landing on the owner, especially on Core and Connect.

Missed calls are the big one. When you're under a sink and the phone rings, Core and Connect do nothing for that caller. Two-way texting starts at Grow, and the receptionist is either a Plus feature or a paid add-on. Someone who gets voicemail may just call the next plumber on the list.

Leads that come in somewhere else are the next. Web forms, Google Business Profile messages, Facebook, a referral texted by a neighbor: unless something routes them into Jobber, somebody copies them in by hand.

On Core, quote follow-up is you, trying to remember on a Friday afternoon who you quoted last week. Automated follow-ups only start at Connect.

And the built-in reports will show you the numbers, but they won't text you a short Monday note with quotes out, jobs booked and money still owed.

Filling the gaps without moving up a tier

You can upgrade to cover those. Or you can keep the plan that fits and add a few small pieces around it, since Jobber connects to a lot of other tools. A simple setup could handle these:

  1. Missed-call text back. When a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text within a minute with your business name and a question about the job, and their reply comes to your phone. Details on missed-call text back.
  2. One door for leads. Website forms, Google messages and texts land in one place and create the client or request in Jobber, instead of sitting in an inbox you check twice a week.
  3. A follow-up schedule for quotes. A few days after a quote goes out, a short, plain message asks whether they have questions. On Core, this covers what Connect would do.
  4. A Monday summary. The week's numbers come out of Jobber and go to your phone, so you don't have to log in to see where things stand.

This is the kind of setup I build for trades, including plumbing contractors. Builds start at $500 one-time, then a flat monthly from $99 after an included run-in period, and you can cancel. Whether that beats upgrading depends on your headcount and which gap costs you the most. Sometimes the next Jobber tier really is the cheaper fix, and I'll tell you when it is.

What stays with you

No plan or add-on should be pricing the job for you. You still go down to the basement, look at the water heater and decide what the fix is worth. When a customer is upset, you make that call, and you know which regulars want to hear your voice instead of getting a text. Software can handle the reminders and the copying. How you run the job is still up to you.

Questions

Does Jobber have a free plan?

No. The pricing page lists four paid plans and a 14-day free trial of Grow with no credit card required.

Is Jobber cheaper if you pay yearly?

Yes. On the page I checked, prepaying for a year cost less per month on every plan than paying monthly with no commitment, and new customers got a further first-year discount until September 30. Budget with the price that applies after the first year.

How much does Jobber charge per user?

Additional users are $29 per month each. How many users come included depends on the plan and the team size you pick on the page.

What are Jobber's credit card fees?

Jobber lists 2.9% + 30¢ for card payments, 2.7% + 30¢ for Tap to Pay, 1% for bank (ACH) payments, and an additional 1% for instant payouts.
