No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.

What Jobber does well

Jobber is the most widely used field service platform for a reason. Scheduling, quoting and invoicing are polished, the mobile app is solid, and support is good.

Best for: Small crews who want clean scheduling, quoting and invoicing and nothing more.

Where it leaves you exposed

  • Their price climbs with your crew on every tier — the same Grow plan is $199/mo for you alone and $399/mo once you are ten people. Ours is one flat price.
  • No website builder, no custom domain, no local SEO pages or Google profile work.
  • The AI Receptionist is a $29/mo add-on that only answers inbound calls, and marketing is another $99/mo on top.

One app for the whole business — finally

Jobber runs the job. Getting found and getting called are separate purchases you have to connect and manage.

1
source of truth, unlimited users

The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.

60+
features, five stages

Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.

0
integrations to build

No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.

The time it gives you back

No exporting customers into a marketing tool, no separate system for the website, no chasing which tool has the right phone number. One source, start to finish.

What it really costs to run Jobber

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people

Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.

At five people that is $999 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.

Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.

The honest verdict

Jobber runs the work you already won. Contractor Autopilot is built to win it first — answer the call, get you found, quote it fast — and then run it. And their top plan at ten people is $599/mo, more than our entire platform at $499/mo flat with the website, the SEO and the receptionist already in it.

We aren't for everyone

Stay on Jobber if any of this is you. We would rather lose the sale than take money from a contractor we make worse off.

  • Your office already runs on Jobber's quoting and scheduling flow and nobody is complaining about it. Jobber does that part very well, and switching costs you a price book rebuild.
  • Your books live in QuickBooks Desktop. Our QuickBooks connection is not live in production yet, and there is no two-way Desktop sync coming. Do not break month-end for a website.
  • You run 10 or more techs with memberships, commission plans and a real dispatch board. That is ServiceTitan's job. We would be a downgrade and we will say so.
  • You are mid-contract. What you still owe on a term deal is real money, not sunk cost — put us on your renewal date instead of paying two bills.
  • You already have more leads than you can work and only need to send invoices. A bundle you do not use is not a saving.

None of that you? Then the rest of this page is worth your ten minutes.

Questions contractors ask

Does Jobber answer your phone?

Only with their AI Receptionist add-on, which is $29/mo on top of a Grow plan that already costs $199–$399/mo depending on your crew size, and it handles inbound calls only. Our AI receptionist is included in Autopilot Pro at $499/mo flat, no matter how many people you put on it.

Can I move my data from Jobber?

Yes — customers, jobs and quotes come over during onboarding, and we set it up with you before you cancel anything.
