SMBDashboardJobber Pricing for a One or Two Person Crew
By Mark Fulton · 2026-10-07 · 10 min read
Jobber costs between $29 and $149 a month for one user when you pay annually, and between $49 and $199 a month for one user on month-to-month billing. A two-person crew is pushed into a team tier that starts at $149 a month billed annually. On top of the plan you pay card processing (2.9% plus 30 cents per card payment) and any add-ons you switch on. For a solo operator taking about $96,000 a year, the realistic first-year cost lands between roughly $2,300 and $3,700, and most of the gap is the plan you pick, not the fees.
Every price below was read from Jobber's own pricing page on 2026-10-07. Software prices move, and Jobber runs a few different billing options, so check the page before you commit. The goal here is to show you how to add the numbers up and decide whether you need the tool at all.
What do Jobber's plans cost today?
Jobber sells four plans: Core, Connect, Grow, and Plus. Each has three prices depending on how you pay: annual prepaid, monthly with a one-year commitment, or monthly with no commitment. Here are the single-user rates and the first team tier, all per month.
| Plan | Users | Annual | Monthly, 1-year commitment | Monthly, no commitment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | 1 | $29 | $39 | $49 |
| Connect | 1 | $99 | $119 | $139 |
| Connect | 5 | $149 | $169 | $199 |
| Grow | 1 | $149 | $169 | $199 |
| Grow | 10 | $229 | $259 | $299 |
| Plus | 5 | $229 | $259 | $299 |
Plus also has 10-user and 15-user tiers, and the page lists its 15-user tier at $529 a month billed annually. That is a different business from the one this article is about.
What you get at each step matters more than the headline number:
- Core is one user with unlimited quotes, jobs, and invoices, online booking, and online payment collection. Jobber's help center says the Core plan supports one user. It does not include optional line items on quotes or "on my way" text messages.
- Connect adds automated reminders, automatic payment collection, job checklists, automated follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.
- Grow adds customizable quotes with visuals and optional line items, automatic time tracking, job costing, two-way texting, and custom workflow automations.
- Plus adds crew scheduling, custom reporting, a sales pipeline, a marketing suite, unlimited photo and video storage, and dedicated onboarding.
Jobber lists a 14-day trial with full access to Grow and no credit card required. I did not find a permanent free plan on the pricing page, so if you see "free version" claims elsewhere, treat them as the trial.
What gets added on top of the plan price?
Three things, and the first one is the big one.
Payment processing. Jobber's own payments run 2.9% plus 30 cents on credit and debit cards, 2.7% plus 30 cents for Tap to Pay, and 1% for bank transfers. Instant payouts carry an extra 1%. This is not a Jobber surcharge in the sense of being unusual: any card processor takes a cut like this. But it belongs in the cost of the software only if you would otherwise be paid by check or cash. If you already take cards some other way, compare the two rates instead of adding this on top.
Add-ons. Jobber lists three at the time of writing:
| Add-on | Monthly price | Yearly cost |
|---|---|---|
| AI Receptionist | $29 | $348 |
| Pipeline | $49 | $588 |
| Marketing Suite | $99 | $1,188 |
You do not need any of these to quote, schedule, and invoice. They are worth knowing about because the pricing page shows them next to the plans, and it is easy to add one in week two and forget about it.
Team seats. Core is built for one person. The moment a second person needs to see the schedule or log time, Jobber's page puts you on a multi-user tier, and the cheapest one listed is Connect at $149 a month annual for the five-user tier. You do not pay per person beyond that, but the step from one user to two is a big one. A crew of two is paying for five seats.
What does a year actually cost a solo operator?
Here is a worked example with every assumption stated, so you can swap in your own numbers.
Sample solo business: $96,000 in annual revenue, an average invoice of $200 (so 480 invoices), 60% of revenue paid by card, 20% by bank transfer, and 20% by cash or check, which carry no processing fee.
- Card: $57,600 across 288 invoices. At 2.9% that is $1,670.40, plus 288 times 30 cents, which is $86.40. Total $1,756.80.
- Bank transfer: $19,200 at 1% is $192.00.
- Processing total: $1,948.80.
Now add the plan, using the single-user annual price from Jobber's page:
| Setup | Plan, 12 months | Processing | Year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core, annual | $348 | $1,948.80 | $2,296.80 |
| Connect, annual | $1,188 | $1,948.80 | $3,136.80 |
| Grow, annual | $1,788 | $1,948.80 | $3,736.80 |
| Core, month to month | $588 | $1,948.80 | $2,536.80 |
| Connect, month to month | $1,668 | $1,948.80 | $3,616.80 |
Two things stand out. First, the processing line is bigger than the plan line on Core. If you were going to accept cards anyway, that cost is not Jobber's, and the real software cost of Core is $348 to $588 a year. Second, the annual-versus-monthly choice on Core is $240 a year, which is small, but on Grow it is $600 a year ($2,388 month to month versus $1,788 annual). Pay annually only when you are sure; the annual prepaid plan is non-refundable if you cancel during the term, per the pricing page.
And a two-person crew?
Take a business twice the size: $180,000 a year, the same $200 average invoice (900 invoices), and the same 60, 20, 20 payment split.
- Card: $108,000 across 540 invoices. 2.9% is $3,132.00, plus $162.00 in per-payment fees. Total $3,294.00.
- Bank transfer: $36,000 at 1% is $360.00.
- Processing total: $3,654.00.
| Setup | Plan, 12 months | Processing | Year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connect, 5-user, annual | $1,788 | $3,654.00 | $5,442.00 |
| Connect, 5-user, month to month | $2,388 | $3,654.00 | $6,042.00 |
| Grow, 10-user, annual | $2,748 | $3,654.00 | $6,402.00 |
The plan itself is $1,788 to $2,748 a year at this size. That is not an unreasonable amount for a business billing $180,000, but it is also the price of a part-time bookkeeper for a couple of months, so it is worth knowing what you are buying.
Which Jobber features does a crew of one or two actually use?
Strip the marketing and Jobber does four jobs:
- Quotes. Professional quotes with your logo and line items that the customer can approve online.
- Scheduling. A calendar of jobs, with the customer's address and notes attached.
- Invoicing and payment. Turn a finished job into an invoice and let the customer pay by card or bank transfer.
- A client record. Names, addresses, and the history of what you did at each property.
A one- or two-person operation uses all four, and uses them every week. What tends to go unused at this size are the things that exist for dispatching a larger team: crew scheduling, job costing across several workers, sales pipelines, and workflow automations. Connect's automated reminders and follow-ups are the one feature in the middle that a small crew often wants, and they are the reason Core feels thin to some people: automatic payment collection and follow-up messages start at Connect.
If you want to see what your own business needs, spend a month noting which of those four jobs actually costs you time. Landscapers and cleaners tend to feel the quote and invoice step most; the home service KPI guide and landscaping KPIs post show which numbers fall out of that record once it exists.
What does the same work look like without field service software?
Every one of those four jobs can be done with parts you already have.
- Quotes: a one-page template you edit and send as a PDF or text. The part that costs you money is not the template, it is the silence after it goes out. A three-touch quote follow-up schedule does more for your close rate than a prettier document.
- Scheduling: a shared phone calendar. Put the customer's name and address in the event title and the notes in the body.
- Invoicing: a template plus a payment link or a bank transfer. The IRS recordkeeping guidance explains what records a small business should keep and why; a dated invoice per job and a log of what you were paid satisfies the practical side of it. Talk to an accountant for anything about your own filing.
- Client record: one list with name, phone, address, last job date, and next job date.
The honest cost of this approach is that it is manual. Nothing sends the reminder, and nothing connects the quote to the invoice. That is real work, and it is the reason software exists. The question is whether the work is large enough to be worth $348 to $2,000 a year.
The free dashboard on this site covers the customer list, money entries, tasks, and appointments in one screen, with data staying in your browser unless you turn on Pro sync. It does not send quotes or take card payments, so it is a record, not a replacement for a payments tool. You can open the dashboard and log a month of quotes, jobs, and payments to see which gaps are real. Many solo operators find that a calendar, a customer list, and an invoice template cover most of it, and that the gap is payments and automatic reminders.
When is Jobber worth paying for?
Jobber earns its price when at least one of these is true:
- You send more than a handful of quotes and invoices a week and the typing, chasing, and reconciling takes more than a few hours a month. At a billing rate of even $50 an hour, three saved hours covers Connect's monthly price.
- You want customers to approve quotes and pay online without calling you, and you cannot get that from your current setup.
- You have, or are about to have, a second person who needs to see the schedule and the job notes. Shared calendars work until two people disagree about what was booked.
- You forget to follow up. Connect's automated follow-ups and reminders are a feature, not a luxury, if missed follow-ups are where your jobs die.
Jobber is probably not worth it yet when you do ten to fifteen jobs a month, every customer pays by check or transfer, and your calendar and a spreadsheet already tell you what to do tomorrow. In that case Core at $29 a month annual is the most you should consider, and the free trial is the cheapest way to find out.
A fair way to decide: run the 14-day trial on real jobs, not demo data. Quote and invoice actual customers inside it. At the end, count the minutes it saved and the quotes it followed up that you would have forgotten. If that adds up to more than the plan costs, buy the smallest plan that has the feature you actually used.
FAQ
How much does Jobber cost per month?
For one user, Core is $29, Connect is $99, and Grow is $149 a month billed annually. Month-to-month with no commitment, the same plans are $49, $139, and $199. Teams start at $149 a month annual on the five-user Connect tier. Card payments add 2.9% plus 30 cents each. Prices are from Jobber's pricing page as of 2026-10-07.
Does Jobber charge per user?
Not in the usual per-seat way. Plans come in user tiers: Core is for one user, while Connect is listed for one or five users, Grow for one or ten, and Plus for five, ten, or fifteen. Once you move up to a team tier, you pay for the tier whether you fill it or not.
Is there a free version of Jobber?
The pricing page lists a 14-day trial with full access to Grow and no credit card required. I did not see a permanent free plan listed, so plan on paying after the trial.
Is Jobber worth it for a one-person business?
It can be, if you send many quotes, want online payments, or lose jobs to missed follow-ups. A one-person business that does a few jobs a week and gets paid by transfer or check can often run on a calendar, a customer list, and an invoice template. Try the trial on real work before paying for a year.
