Jobber alternatives: what changes when you stop paying per seat

You are most likely here because the bill moves with the number of logins. Jobber charges for each person who needs one, and publishes a rate for every extra seat, so a crew that grows by two grows the software bill by two. That is our reading of what Jobber itself publishes. It is also worth saying what Jobber does not tell you: it publishes no job allowance either way, so a two-person shop running heavy volume is the case its rate card is quietest about.

What Jobber does well

Our analysis — Our reading, with the Jobber record behind each line.

Plenty of shops should read this page and stay where they are. Before anything below, here is what we can show that Jobber gets right.

  • It puts every tier figure on its own page, which most of this set will not do.

    4 tiers with a figure on the vendor's own page

  • The seat charge is published, so the cost of hiring is a number you can work out before you hire.

    Per seat

  • You get two weeks in the product without handing over a card.

    14-day free trial — no card needed

  • It publishes what card payments cost, as a percentage and a per-transaction charge, so a month of takings can be worked out in advance.

    Credit card processing (Jobber Payments) 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction 2.9% + 30 cents.

What this page will not tell you about Jobber

Which of these works out cheaper for your shop. They do not meter the same thing, so your own head count and job count settle it and nobody else's can.
