Jobber Pricing Explained: What It Actually Costs a Solo Operator (2026)
If you run a one-truck business and you're pricing out Jobber, the headline number is not the whole picture. This page walks through Jobber's publicly listed pricing, adds up what a solo operator would actually pay for a common setup, and lists the questions worth asking before you commit to any field service software.
All prices below are as of July 2026, taken from Jobber's public pricing page. Prices change. Check their site for current numbers before you decide anything.
Jobber's public tiers, July 2026
| Plan | Listed price | Users included |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $49/mo | 1 |
| Connect | $139/mo | 1 |
| Grow | $399/mo | 10 |
| Plus | $699/mo | 15 |
Extra users are listed at $29 per user per month. Which features sit in which tier changes over time, so read the feature grid on their page carefully. The pattern to notice is simple: the entry tier is priced for entry, and the features that make the software do real work tend to live higher up.
Add-ons and payment fees
On top of the tiers, Jobber's public pricing lists optional add-ons:
- Marketing Suite — $79/mo
- Pipeline — $49/mo
- AI Receptionist — $29/mo
Card processing is listed at 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction, with instant payout at an extra 1%. Processing fees in that range are normal across the industry. But they are real money. On $10,000 of card revenue a month, 2.9% + 30 cents is roughly $300, and instant payout would add another $100. That line item usually ends up bigger than the software subscription itself, whoever you use.
The annual-versus-monthly display thing
One general habit worth building before you compare any software prices: check whether the number on the page is the monthly-billing price or the annual-prepay price shown as a monthly figure. Much of the software industry advertises the annual-prepay rate by default, with a toggle somewhere on the page. The month-to-month rate is often meaningfully higher. This is not specific to any one company. It is just how pricing pages tend to work now. Flip the toggle, note both numbers, and do your math on the one you actually plan to pay.
Worked example: a solo plumber
Say you're a one-person plumbing operation. You want four things: send quotes, run a schedule, send invoices, and text customers with marketing and reminders. Here is how the monthly total can build, using Jobber's publicly listed numbers as of July 2026. Which features attach to which plan is defined by their feature grid, so treat this as arithmetic on the public list, not a quote — and check their site for what is current.
| Step | What you add | Line item | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quotes, scheduling, invoicing on the entry plan | Core, $49/mo | $49/mo |
| 2 | Marketing texts via the Marketing Suite add-on | +$79/mo | $128/mo |
| 3 | If a feature you need sits on the next tier, you move up | Connect, $139/mo (replaces Core) | $218/mo |
| 4 | Optional: sales pipeline | +$49/mo | $267/mo |
| 5 | Optional: AI receptionist | +$29/mo | $296/mo |
So the same solo plumber can land anywhere from $49 to roughly $296 a month before card fees, depending on which boxes he checks. None of this is hidden. It is all on the public page. It just takes adding up. The $49 headline and the number on your card statement can be different animals, and the gap is the add-ons and the tier your must-have feature happens to live on.
Annualized, $128/mo is $1,536 a year. $218/mo is $2,616. $296/mo is $3,552. Whether that is worth it depends on your revenue and how much of the feature list you actually use. For a growing team, it may pencil out fine. For one truck, run the numbers honestly.
Questions to ask before you commit to any field service software
These apply to every vendor in the category, ours included, once we launch:
- What is the real monthly price? Month-to-month billing, with every feature I need, at today's rates — not the annual-prepay display price.
- What happens when I add a user? Per-user fees look small until a helper, spouse, or apprentice needs a login.
- Which of the features I need are add-ons? Get the full list of add-ons and their prices in writing before you sign.
- How do I cancel? In the app, by email, or by phone call? What is the notice period? What does billing look like after cancellation?
- Can I export my data? Customers, quotes, invoices, job history — in a format another tool can read. Confirm this before your data lives there, not after.
Where Deskhand fits
We build Deskhand, so read this part knowing that. Deskhand is field service software for solo US tradespeople. The plan is one price: $49 a month, flat. Quotes, scheduling, invoicing, customer texting, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync are all included. No add-ons, no per-user fees, no feature gates. Payments run through your own Stripe account, so we never hold your money.
One honest caveat: Deskhand is not launched yet. We are in early access and collecting founding members, who lock in the $49 price for life. If a flat-price tool built for one truck sounds right, join the early access list.
