Pros

“From client contacts and requests, to scheduling, job notes and invoicing, Jobber brings our team and our clients together in one seamless place.”
DD

Dale D.

Sales and Administrative Coordinator

“From the same system I'm able to pull up a client's entire history, send estimates, revise estimates, refer to job notes from technicians for troubleshooting, and invoice the same day a job is complete.”
DD

Dale D.

Sales and Administrative Coordinator

“It's not the cheapest option out there, but when you factor in what it does (scheduling, invoicing, payments, reporting, even a website), it earns its keep for most small trades businesses.”
ED

Eri D.

ACCOUNTANT

Pros

“It delivers the most value in environments where planning complexity is high and visibility across teams is essential. While there are some usability and performance trade-offs, it remains a strong option for businesses looking to improve operational efficiency through better planning.”
LH

Logan H.

BDR

“The platform makes it incredibly easy to attach modern features like project collaborations, schedulin and payroll, in-app purchases, and geofencing without building them from scratch.”
MJ

Mystical J.

CEO

“Although there can be a learning curve when setting up more advanced features, the platform is powerful, flexible, and well-suited for organizations managing multiple projects and teams.”
MD

Marilyn D.

Agent

Cons

“Not being able to do time blocks that allow a reminder text/email, not being able to have time blocks at all, quickbook integration messes up frequently, more quote templates, more backend personalization”
LL

Laura L.

Marketing Manager

“The biggest limitations for us are customization boundaries inside the quote templates and certain workflow areas that don’t go as deep as larger field-service CRMs.”
AS

Andrew S.

General Manager

“When a customer get's financing, the whole process from creating invoice to applying payment is handled by Jobber, which actually complicates things a bit, cause you're unable to use your regular invoicing process.”
MM

Marina M.

Dispatcher

Cons

“Aspects of the user interface are often described as not intuitive or dated, which can make certain features difficult to understand and navigate without support.”
CR

Cory R.

outside sales

“One of the drawbacks of Visual Planning, in my opinion, is its steep learning curve, especially for those who aren’t familiar with project management tools or Gantt charts.”
MD

Monica D.

Lead

“Some advanced features are not very easy to configure”
