Jobber Alternative: Jobtable vs Jobber
Last updated 1 September 2026. All Jobber prices taken from getjobber.com/pricing on that date and listed in USD.
Jobtable is a construction alternative to Jobber that costs $59/month for 3 users, with each extra user at $10/month. Jobber starts at $49/month for one user, but its cheapest plan for a crew of 2 to 5 people is $199/month. Jobber offers a larger app marketplace, live calendar booking and paid add-ons like marketing. Jobtable is cheaper per crew and built around construction jobs rather than service calls.
Why contractors look for Jobber alternatives
Jobber is a capable product with a long track record, so people rarely go looking because it stopped working. The reason that comes up most in our conversations with contractors is the bill after hiring. The second is plan tiers, where a feature you assumed was standard turns out to sit two plans up. Jobber's main competitors, including Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldPulse and Jobtable, all answer that differently.
How much does Jobber cost for a crew?
The headline number on Jobber's pricing page is $49/month, and that number is real, but it only applies to a single user. Once you select a team size of 2 to 5 people, the Core plan disappears and Connect at $199/month becomes the entry point. This is the part most comparisons skip, so here it is at each crew size.
| Crew size | Jobtable, monthly | Jobtable, annual | Jobber, cheapest plan (monthly) | Jobber, same plan (annual) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 user | $59 | $50 | $49 (Core) | $29 (Core) |
| 3 users | $59 | $50 | $199 (Connect, 5-user tier) | $149 |
| 5 users | $79 | $67 | $199 (Connect) | $149 |
| 10 users | $129 | $108 | $299 (Connect) | $229 |
Jobtable's plan includes 3 users, so a solo contractor pays for seats they are not using. If you work alone and expect to keep working alone, Jobber Core at $29/month on annual billing is the cheaper option, and we would rather tell you that than have you find out after signing up.
The gap opens at 3 users and stays open. A four-person plumbing company pays $69/month on Jobtable and $199/month on Jobber month to month. Over a year that is $828 against $2,388.

Where Jobber is the better choice
Jobber has been around far longer than we have and does some things we do not. If any of the following describe you, Jobber is the stronger fit and you should not switch on price alone.
Stay with Jobber if
- You work alone and expect to keep working alone. Core at $29/month on annual billing beats anything we offer.
- You need customers picking their own time slot off your live calendar. Jobtable takes requests through online forms, but you still assign the time.
- You rely on a tool that plugs into Jobber and not into us. Jobber's app marketplace lists more than 100 connections and is available from its entry plan.
- You want a long public track record before you commit. Jobber has been around far longer than we have and has thousands of published customer reviews behind it.
Switch to Jobtable if
- You have a crew and the jump from $49 to $199 caught you off guard.
- You want job costing and progress billing without moving up a plan tier to get them.
- You bill in draws, issue change orders, and keep daily logs on jobs that run for weeks.
- You run maintenance contracts or repeat work and want recurring jobs you can pause for the season, skip a date on, or bill line by line.
- Your team stopped using the last software because it had too many screens.
- You want to add a sixth person for $10 rather than a plan upgrade.
Who built it
Jobtable did not start life as a software product. It started as an internal tool inside a plumbing company that two of our co-founders still run today. They built it because what they were paying for did not match how the work actually happened, and they ran the business on it while it grew from two people to more than thirty. It only became something we sold after other contractors asked to use it.
That is why the feature list looks the way it does. Progress draws, change orders, job costing and daily logs are in the product because the people building it were dealing with those things on live jobs that same week. When a customer calls support about how a holdback should be billed, they are talking to a company that has invoiced one.
Switching from Jobber to Jobtable
Most contractors researching Jobber alternatives stall on this question, so here is the specific answer. We handle the migration for you and we do not charge for it. Your clients, quotes, jobs and invoices come across, including the line items inside them. You pull the exports out of Jobber, send them over, and we load everything into your account and hand it back for you to check before you cancel anything on their side.
If you have photos or documents attached to past jobs, raise that at the start so we can sort out what moves and what is better left sitting in your Jobber archive. Past that, the practical sequence is to run both systems side by side for your next couple of weeks of new work and cut over once your crew is quoting out of Jobtable without asking questions. Setup takes most contractors under an hour.
What contractors say after switching
Frequently asked questions
Who are Jobber's main competitors?
The products contractors most often weigh against Jobber are Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldPulse, Workiz, Service Fusion and Jobtable. Housecall Pro and Workiz sit closest to Jobber on features and audience. ServiceTitan targets larger operations. Jobtable is aimed at construction and trades rather than general field service, and is the least expensive of the group once you have a crew, at $59/month for 3 users.
How much does Jobber cost for a small crew?
Jobber's Core plan is $49/month but covers one user only. As soon as you select a team size of 2 to 5 people on Jobber's pricing page, Core is no longer offered and Connect at $199/month becomes the cheapest plan. At 6 to 10 people, Connect is $299/month. Annual prepaid billing brings those down to $149 and $229. Figures checked 1 September 2026.
What is the cheapest alternative to Jobber for contractors?
Jobtable is $59/month and includes 3 users, with additional users at $10/month. A five-person crew pays $79/month on Jobtable against $199/month on Jobber's cheapest month-to-month plan for that team size. For a single user with no plans to hire, Jobber Core at $29/month on annual billing is cheaper than Jobtable.
Is Jobtable a direct replacement for Jobber?
For quoting, scheduling, invoicing, job costing, recurring jobs and timesheets, yes. One gap is worth knowing about. Jobtable takes work requests online through custom forms, which land unscheduled for you to slot in, but the customer does not pick a time off your live calendar the way Jobber allows. Jobber also runs a larger app marketplace, so check that anything you already rely on connects to Jobtable before you move.
Can I move my data from Jobber to Jobtable?
Yes, and Jobtable does the migration for you at no charge. Clients, quotes, jobs and invoices are imported, including the line items inside them. You pull the exports out of Jobber, send them over, and Jobtable loads everything into your account for you to check before you cancel anything. If you have photos or documents attached to past jobs, raise it at the start so it can be handled as part of the move.
Does Jobtable charge per user like Jobber?
Jobtable charges $10/month for each user beyond the three included in the base plan, added one at a time. Jobber prices in brackets of 1, 5, 10 and 15 users, so hiring a fifth person moves you into a higher bracket rather than adding a single seat.
Why is Jobtable cheaper than Jobber?
Jobtable sells one plan with everything in it instead of four tiers. Features that sit behind Jobber's Grow plan, including job costing and two-way SMS, are part of the standard Jobtable subscription. Jobtable also does not bundle the marketing and lead pipeline products Jobber sells separately at $99 and $49 per month.
