Jobber for a small contractor
Not a hands-on review yet. We haven't run a Jobber account for this page. Everything below comes from Jobber's public pricing page, checked November 14, 2026. We'll add a real test, with screenshots from the 14-day trial, before we call this a review.
Heads up: we may later earn a referral fee from some software links. Not yet: today they're plain links with no tracking. Using our link won't make it cost you more. How we handle this.
Jobber suits contractors who quote, book and invoice lots of separate jobs, such as residential landscaping, snow, yard grading or small excavation jobs for homeowners. For a solo operator, Core (US$49/mo, or US$29/mo billed annually — US$348/yr up front) covers quotes, invoices and online payments. Connect is where automated follow-ups and QuickBooks sync start. If you bill one or two general contractors by the hour, a plain invoicing app will cost less.

Who should try it
- You send several quotes a week to homeowners or property managers.
- You lose jobs because quotes go out late or nobody follows up.
- You want customers to pay online from the invoice.
Who should skip it (for now)
- You work for one or two contractors by the hour on day tickets.
- You don't book or route visits.
- You'd use it only for invoicing. Wave is free and FreshBooks Lite is $26 CAD/mo.
How to test it in 14 days
- Start the free trial. Jobber says it runs on the Grow plan with no credit card. (Jobber pricing)
- Make one real quote and one invoice with 5% GST, and with 6% SK PST if you're in Saskatchewan. Check both lines print correctly.
- Send a test invoice to yourself and pay it online to see the fees and the deposit timing.
- Before day 14, decide whether you'd actually use Grow's extras. If not, Core or Connect is enough.
