If you’re considering Jobber for your service business, you need to know exactly what you’ll pay at each tier, what you get, and which tier actually fits your business. Jobber’s pricing page gives the basics, but the “which tier do I need” decision is where most contractors get stuck.
This guide breaks down Jobber’s pricing in plain English, with a clear recommendation for which tier fits which type of business.
Short answer: Most contractors need the Core plan at $99/month (annual billing) — it includes the multi-option quote builder, customer communication, two-way QuickBooks integration, and most of the features that make Jobber worth it. The Lite plan at $49/month is enough for solo contractors who don’t do installations. The Connect plan at $199/month is for established 5+ employee businesses that need advanced reporting and custom fields.

Jobber Core — $99/month (annual) ⭐ MOST POPULAR
Best for: Most contractors (1-5 employees) doing a mix of service calls and installations. This is the sweet spot for most service businesses.
Everything in Lite, plus:
- Multi-option quote builder (good/better/best) — the #1 feature for installation work
- Job costing reports — profit per job, per service type, per customer
- Custom fields — track equipment make/model/serial, gate codes, anything custom
- Workflow automations — automated reminders, follow-ups, etc.
- Customer self-service portal — customers can view jobs, invoices, pay online
- Up to 5 users (additional users at $29/month each)
What’s NOT included:

Verdict: Core is the right tier for most contractors. The multi-option quote builder alone justifies the price for installation work (close rates increase 20-40% with multi-option quotes). The job costing reports help you price accurately. The custom fields let you track equipment, warranty terms, and trade-specific data.
Jobber Connect — $199/month (annual)
Best for: Established contractors (5+ employees) doing complex operations and needing advanced reporting and custom workflows.

Verdict: Grow is for larger businesses that have outgrown Connect. Contact Jobber sales for pricing.
Hidden fees and costs to know about
Jobber’s pricing is mostly transparent, but there are some additional costs to know about:
1. Payment processing fees. Jobber doesn’t have built-in payment processing — you use Stripe or Square. The fees are:
- Stripe: 2.9% + $0.30 per online card transaction
- Square: 2.9% + $0.30 per online card transaction
- ACH: 1% (capped at $5 with some processors)
These fees are standard for the industry. You don’t pay extra to Jobber for payment processing.
2. Additional users. The base plan includes 1-10 users depending on the tier. Additional users are $29/month each. For most contractors, the base user count is enough.
3. SMS/texting fees. Jobber includes a base number of SMS texts per month. Heavy texters may need to add an SMS package:
- $15/month for 500 additional SMS
- $30/month for 1,500 additional SMS
- $50/month for 3,000 additional SMS
For most contractors, the included SMS is enough.
4. Annual vs monthly billing. Monthly billing is 20-30% more expensive. Annual billing saves money but commits you to a year.
5. Implementation costs. Jobber doesn’t charge for implementation — it’s self-serve with chat and phone support. Most contractors are up and running in a day or two.
What’s NOT a hidden fee:
- No setup fee
- No cancellation fee

- No support fee
Jobber’s pricing is among the most transparent in the FSM software category.
