These two end up on the same shortlist constantly, and the feature lists look close enough that most people pick on price and then find the real difference in month three.
On published pricing, Jobber prints the seats included in each plan and a flat $29 a month for every additional user, while Housecall Pro prints plan prices but does not publish seat counts on its pricing page. Housecall Pro advertises card rates starting lower than Jobber's published 2.9 percent. Both were read on 13 August 2026 and both move, so check the source. Where another company's prices appear below, they are copied from that company's own pricing page and stamped with the date we read it. Follow the link before you decide, because prices move and ours is the only one we control.
Four questions worth answering before you pick either one, or a third option.
Jobber publishes seat counts per plan and $29 a month for each user past them, so the cost of your sixth person is a number you can work out yourself. Housecall Pro does not publish seat counts on the pricing page, so ask what your plan includes and what another user costs before you compare the headline prices.
Jobber publishes 2.9 percent plus 30 cents on cards, 2.7 percent plus 30 cents on tap to pay, and 1 percent on bank payments. Housecall Pro advertises card rates as low as 2.59 percent and 1 percent on bank payments. On volume that difference is real money, so put your actual monthly card revenue against both.
Ask either vendor whether a crew member who is not allowed to see prices ever receives the price on their device. Hiding a number on a screen is not the same as never sending it, and the answer is easy to demo in about a minute.
Ask for the demo in airplane mode. Every vendor here says the app works offline, and the useful version of that question is what happens to photos and time entries captured with no service, and when they reappear.

Jobber publishes seat counts on every plan, which makes it the easiest of the three to budget accurately before you buy. It also sells route optimization with live GPS, consumer financing, and a large app marketplace, none of which we have built, and its one seat entry plan billed annually is cheaper than our Professional plan.
Housecall Pro advertises the lowest card rate of the three at as low as 2.59 percent, which on serious card volume can outweigh a difference in subscription price. It also sells consumer financing, a marketing suite, and a large app marketplace, none of which we have built.
We are the third option on this list, and we are not the right answer for everyone on it. Our seat is $12 a month against Jobber's published $29, card payments run through your own Stripe account with no platform fee added by us, and money is withheld from unauthorized roles at the source. We have not built route optimization with live GPS, parts inventory, accounting sync, or consumer financing, and both companies above sell things in that list.
It depends entirely on your seat count, because Jobber publishes seats per plan and Housecall Pro does not. On the entry plans read on 13 August 2026, Jobber Core was $24 a month billed annually for one user and Housecall Pro Basic was $59 a month billed annually. Once you add people the comparison changes, so get the seat count in writing.
On advertised rates, Housecall Pro starts lower at as low as 2.59 percent against Jobber's published 2.9 percent plus 30 cents. Both charge 1 percent on bank payments. Advertised rates often depend on plan and volume, so ask what rate you would actually be given.
That is the question to ask both of them directly, because it decides where your customers' money sits and how fast it reaches your bank. Here, you connect your own Stripe account and the money goes to your bank, with no platform fee added by us on top of Stripe's own.
That is what this page is, so treat the recommendation with the suspicion it deserves and check the numbers above against their own pricing pages. The honest summary is that we are cheaper per seat and lighter on features, and if a capability we have not built decides your purchase, one of the other two is your answer.
Bring three jobs you ran last week. We will build them live and you will know inside twenty minutes whether it fits.
