Feature gates that change the real price
- If you need QuickBooks Online sync, ignore the cheapest tier on both sides. Your floor is Jobber Connect or Housecall Pro Essentials.
- If you need Zapier or a public API without buying the top Jobber tier, Jobber Connect includes Zapier. Housecall Pro puts Zapier and the open API on Max.
- Review requests are on every Housecall Pro plan. On Jobber, marketing and review tooling sits mainly on Plus or the Marketing Suite add-on.
- Jobber’s prepaid annual plans are non-refundable for the term. Housecall Pro markets cancel-anytime billing.
Which one fits a trades shop
- One-person HVAC, plumbing, or electrical: Jobber Core unless you already want Housecall Pro’s review tools and financing offers on day one.
- 3 to 8 techs with office staff: run the mid-tier math for your headcount. At five users on annual billing, Connect and Essentials list at the same $149/mo; feature gates (Zapier vs review management vs routes) decide it.
- Maintenance contracts and several crews: Housecall Pro Max lists recurring service plans and route optimization. Jobber Plus lists crew scheduling and an included AI receptionist.
Rough math (example, not measured data)
If better dispatch and auto follow-ups recover one missed $300 job a month, either mid-tier plan pays for itself. The decision is usually contract flexibility and which gated features you actually use, not a $20 difference in list price.
