Jobber alternatives: what to compare before you switch

Jobber is made by Octopusapp Inc. in Edmonton and is one of the best-known field service apps for small home service businesses. It prices in US dollars, includes one user on its first three plans, and puts features such as two-way texting, job costing and crew scheduling on its higher plans. Here is why owners look elsewhere, what to check in any replacement, and how the main options line up.

Why people look

Common reasons to leave Jobber

Paying in US dollars while earning in Canadian dollars.
One user on Core, Connect and Grow, and US$29 a month for each extra person.
Features like two-way texting and job costing are on Grow and up.
Review requests and campaigns sit in a US$99/mo add-on below Plus.
Wanting business data stored in Canada with a named location.

Checklist

What to check in any replacement

The plan you'd really need. Find the features you use today, then the cheapest plan that has all of them - not the headline price.
Users. Count the office as well as the field. One-user plans get expensive fast.
Add-ons. Texting, a website, reviews, an AI receptionist - included, priced, or "contact us"?
Currency and taxes. Billed in USD or CAD, and does it handle your province's GST, HST, PST or QST?
Where your data is stored. Ask for a country, not "the cloud".
Getting your data in and out. An import from your current app, and a full export whenever you want.
The contract. Monthly, a 12-month commitment, or an order form with an early-termination fee.
