Jobber alternatives by crew cost: 5 and 10 users, Nov 2026
Short answer: A five-person crew pays $199 a month on Jobber’s Connect plan, and $299 at ten people. Of the 30 tools in our November 2026 study with a public price for five users, the general field service tools that cost less are The Customer Factor, Markate, Kickserv, ServiceM8, Synchroteam and ServiceBridge. Lawn, pool and pest crews have cheaper single-trade options.
Prices from our field service software cost study, November 2026 (checked 27 October to 8 November 2026, CSV). Page updated 10 November 2026.
How we rank them
We rank by what a crew pays, not by the advertised starting price. Each figure is the cheapest published plan that schedules jobs on a calendar, dispatches them to technicians in a mobile app, sends quotes and invoices, takes card payments and syncs its invoices to QuickBooks Online, priced for a month at 5 and 10 users, with any charge for users past its allowance. Tools are ranked by the 5-user cost, with the 10-user cost beside it. Ties are alphabetical.
General field service tools come first. Single-trade tools, the ones our listings file under one trade only (lawn care, pool service, pest control, cleaning or roofing), come after, so you can see what fits your trade. Tools with no public price are listed below the table, unranked. We read each vendor’s pricing pages; we did not test the software.
What Jobber costs you now
Jobber’s advertised price is $49 a month. A five-person crew needs Connect, which bundles 5 users for $199 a month, and the 10-user Connect bundle is $299.
The gap between the sticker price and the crew price is common: 24 of 30 priced tools in the study cost more for five users than their advertised price, and the median advertised price was $49 a month. The median crew cost was $231 a month for 5 users and $339 for 10.

No public price for a crew
These field service tools are in the study but publish no price for a five-person month, so they are not ranked. Sold only on a quote: Arborgold, BuildOps, CLIP, Commusoft, FieldPulse, FieldRoutes, ServiceCore, Simpro and Successware. Not priced yet: Briostack, FieldCamp, FieldEdge, Route4Me and ServiceTitan.
Which one fits your crew
- You want the same features for less, at five users: The Customer Factor ($44.95), Markate ($69.95) and Kickserv ($75) are the cheapest general tools. ServiceM8 ($149), Synchroteam ($156) and ServiceBridge ($174.75) are closer to Jobber’s price.
- Your crew is growing: a flat fee with unlimited users keeps the bill the same as you hire. The Customer Factor ($44.95) and Service Fusion ($245) cost the same at 10 users as at 5. fieldd is $199 for both crew sizes.
- You run ten people: Jobber’s $299 is below the study’s $339 median for 10 users. Below it are The Customer Factor ($44.95), Markate ($94.95), Kickserv ($149), fieldd ($199), Service Fusion ($245) and ServiceMonster ($274.99), plus Lawn Buddy, Yardbook, Skimmer, Pocomos and BookingKoala among the single-trade tools.
- You mow lawns or service pools: Lawn Buddy ($39) and Yardbook ($49.99) for lawn care, Skimmer ($98) for pools, and Pocomos ($109) for pest control all cost less than Jobber at both crew sizes.
- You are thinking of Housecall Pro: at our study’s reading it is $299 for five users and $799 for ten on Essentials. That makes it dearer than Jobber at both sizes.
Questions
What is the cheapest Jobber alternative? For a five-person crew, Lawn Buddy at $39 a month is the cheapest tool in the study, but it is made for lawn care and landscaping. Among general field service tools, The Customer Factor is cheapest at $44.95 a month, the same at 10 users.
Why does Jobber cost $199 when it says $49? $49 a month is the price Jobber advertises. A crew of five needs the Connect plan’s 5-user bundle, which is $199 a month, and ten users need the 10-user bundle at $299.
Is Housecall Pro cheaper than Jobber? Not for a crew, at our study’s reading: Housecall Pro is $299 a month for 5 users and $799 for 10 on Essentials, against Jobber’s $199 and $299.
