Jobber pricing: what the four plans actually cost
Jobber publishes every price on its pricing page, including the payment processing rates most of this market hides. What it does not do is tell you what those percentages come to.
On annual billing the four plans are $29, $99, $149 and $399 a month. Paid month to month they are $49, $139, $199 and $499. Every plan adds users at $29 a month each.
Two things follow that the page does not say. The advertised “save up to 25% with annual billing” is backwards — the discount is 41% on the cheapest plan and 20% on the dearest. And the 30¢ on every card transaction means a business taking small tickets pays 3.30% on a $75 call against 2.90% on an $8,000 job, not the 2.9% on the page.
The published plans, September 7, 2026
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Users included | Each extra user |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $29/mo | $49/mo | 1 | $29/mo |
| Connect | $99/mo | $139/mo | 1 | $29/mo |
| Grow | $149/mo | $199/mo | 1 | $29/mo |
| Plus | $399/mo | $499/mo | 5 | $29/mo |
Quoted from getjobber.com/pricing as it read on September 7, 2026. The page also offers preset user bands on the upper plans, which change the headline figure; the prices above are the base of each plan. We do not estimate.
“Save up to 25%” is the wrong way round
The page advertises the annual discount as up to 25%, which reads as a ceiling. It is not one. On the cheapest plan the discount is far bigger than 25%, and on the dearest it is smaller.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Saved per month | Real discount | Paid per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $49 | $29 | $20 | 40.8% | $348 |
| Connect | $139 | $99 | $40 | 28.8% | $1,188 |
| Grow | $199 | $149 | $50 | 25.1% | $1,788 |
| Plus | $499 | $399 | $100 | 20.0% | $4,788 |
Only Grow is actually the advertised 25%. A one-person operation on Core gets 41% off for committing to a year — a much better deal than the headline suggests. A firm on Plus gets 20%, and is the one being asked to lock up the most money. In other words the headline undersells the discount to the smallest buyer and oversells it to the largest.
The 30¢ is the part that matters
Jobber publishes its processing rates outright, which is more than most of this market does: 2.9% + 30¢ on cards, 2.7% + 30¢ on Tap to Pay, 1% on bank payments, and instant payouts at an additional 1%.
A percentage is easy to compare. A percentage plus a flat fee is not, because the flat fee is a different proportion of every invoice. For a trade that runs many small tickets, that 30¢ quietly raises the real rate.
| Invoice | 2.9% + 30¢ | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $75 service call | $2.48 | 3.30% |
| $150 | $4.65 | 3.10% |
| $300 | $9.00 | 3.00% |
| $500 | $14.80 | 2.96% |
| $1,000 | $29.30 | 2.93% |
| $3,000 | $87.30 | 2.91% |
| $8,000 replacement | $232.30 | 2.90% |
The gap between a diagnostic call and a system replacement is 40 basis points. That is small per job and not small per year: a shop doing 800 service calls at $75 pays about $240 more than the sticker rate implies.
Instant payouts stack. The extra 1% sits on top of the card rate, so an instant payout on a card payment is 3.9% + 30¢. On a $3,000 job that is $117.30 against $87.30 — $30 to be paid days earlier. Whether that is worth it is a cash-flow question, not a software question, but the page does not put the two rates side by side.
The subscription is the small number
On Grow at one user the subscription is $1,788 a year. Card processing on $500,000 of card revenue at 2.9% is $14,500 — 8.1 times the subscription. Steering the same revenue to bank payments at 1% costs $5,000, a difference of $9,500 a year, which is more than five years of the software.
This is the same shape we found on Housecall Pro, and it is the reason we think a feature comparison is the wrong tool for choosing between these products. The subscription is the number on the page. The processing is the number on the bank statement.
Jobber or Housecall Pro? It depends on headcount, and it changes hands three times
The two products charge on opposite principles. Jobber includes one user and adds seats at a flat $29. Housecall Pro bundles five or eight users into the plan and charges $100 or $75 for each one beyond. Neither is simply cheaper — the answer flips as you hire.
| Users | Jobber Grow | HCP Essentials | HCP Max | Cheapest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $149 | $149 | $299 | tie |
| 2 | $178 | $149 | $299 | HCP Essentials |
| 5 | $265 | $149 | $299 | HCP Essentials |
| 6 | $294 | $249 | $299 | HCP Essentials |
| 7 | $323 | $349 | $299 | HCP Max |
| 9 | $381 | $549 | $374 | HCP Max |
| 10 | $410 | $649 | $449 | Jobber Grow |
| 15 | $555 | $1,149 | $824 | Jobber Grow |
| 20 | $700 | $1,649 | $1,199 | Jobber Grow |
Monthly, annual billing, base plans. Grow is used here because it is the tier that competes with the two Housecall Pro plans on features; a one-person business should be comparing Jobber Core at $29, which undercuts everything in this table. Jobber Grow = $149 + $29 per user over one. Housecall Pro Essentials = $149 + $100 per user over five. Housecall Pro Max = $299 + $75 per user over eight. Plan features differ and this compares price only.
So the cheapest option changes hands three times: Housecall Pro Essentials from two to six users, Housecall Pro Max from seven to nine, and Jobber Grow from ten upward, where the flat $29 seat finally beats the bundled ones and keeps winning. At twenty users Jobber Grow is $700 a month against $1,199 for Max — $5,988 a year apart.
What Jobber does not publish
Gaps in the vendor's page, not in our reading of it.
- Onboarding or setup charges. Not mentioned either way.
- What the preset user bands cost. The upper plans offer bundled seat counts, but the page prices them through a selector rather than printing a table, so a reader cannot see the whole ladder at once.
- Whether the card rate varies by card type, or between card-present and keyed transactions. One rate is printed.
- Add-on prices for anything sold separately from the four plans.
The terms, as stated
The page states a 14-day free trial on the Grow plan with no credit card required, and that an annual plan prepaid and then cancelled mid-term is non-refundable. That second clause is worth reading twice before taking the 41% Core discount: the saving is real, and so is the lock-in.
We have not used Jobber. Where we have been able to sign up for a product, we say what happened — the software pricing page records what we found opening and cancelling a ServiceM8 account. This page is a reading of published prices, not a review.
How we got these numbers
We opened getjobber.com/pricing on September 7, 2026 and wrote down what it said. Every plan price, seat count, extra-user price and percentage above is quoted from that page. Everything else — the real discount column, the effective-rate table, the headcount comparison — is arithmetic on those quoted figures, and the formula is printed under each table so you can redo it.
We take no payment from Jobber, Housecall Pro or any vendor on this site, and the links to their pricing pages are not affiliate links. How we make money.
