Jobber and Housecall Pro are both field service software for home-service and trade businesses: scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments and a mobile app for the crew. The real differences are how each one prices and which plan each feature sits on.
Every price here was read off getjobber.com/pricing and housecallpro.com/pricing on November 1, 2026, in US dollars. Both companies change prices and run introductory discounts, so confirm on their sites before you decide.
Price for one person
Jobber Core is $49 a month billed monthly, or $29 a month billed yearly, for one user. Housecall Pro Basic is $79 a month billed monthly, or $59 a month billed yearly, for one user.
For a solo operator, Jobber is the cheaper of the two by $30 a month either way.
Price for a crew of five
Jobber Connect for 5 users is $199 a month, or $149 a month billed yearly. Jobber Grow for 5 users is $299 a month, or $229 a month billed yearly.
Housecall Pro Essentials includes 5 users at $189 a month, or $149 a month billed yearly.
So at five people the entry plans cost about the same. The gap opens on job costing: Jobber puts it on Grow, while Housecall Pro includes it from Basic. A five-person crew that wants job costing pays $299 a month on Jobber and $189 on Housecall Pro.
Where the features sit
Job costing: Housecall Pro on every plan; Jobber from Grow. QuickBooks Online sync: Jobber from Connect; Housecall Pro from Essentials. Employee GPS tracking: Housecall Pro from Essentials; Jobber lists GPS tracking without tying it to a plan.
Automated quote and invoice follow-ups are on Jobber from Connect. Crew scheduling is listed on Jobber Plus. Review management is on Housecall Pro from Basic; on Jobber, the Marketing Suite is an add-on.
Payment fees and free trials
Jobber lists card payments at 2.9% + 30¢ and bank (ACH) payments at 1%. Housecall Pro lists card processing from 2.59% and bank payments at 1%.
Both offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card. Jobber’s trial runs on Grow features; Housecall Pro’s runs on Max.
Which one fits
Working alone and mostly quoting and invoicing: Jobber Core is the cheaper start. A crew of around five that wants job costing and GPS from day one: Housecall Pro Essentials costs less. A business that lives on automated quote follow-ups and workflow automation: Jobber Connect or Grow is built around that.
Both are built for service visits across many home-service trades. If your work is construction jobs with phases, a crew, materials and stage payments, that is a different shape of business.
A third option for construction crews
Bricklark charges per business, not per person: Basic is $15 a month for up to 3 team members, and Pro is $40 a month with no team limit, so a crew of five pays $40. Job costing and GPS-verified crew time are on Pro. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
Bricklark is narrower than either: it is built around a construction job, not a general service visit, and it does not yet take online card payments from clients. If those two things fit, it is worth a look next to Jobber and Housecall Pro.
