Jobber pricing in 2026 — plans, per-user fees, and the alternative built for commercial cleaning

What is Jobber?

Jobber is field-service management software for home-services businesses — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and a client hub, all in one mature platform.

It's a genuinely strong, well-established product used across landscaping, plumbing, HVAC, pest control, and other trades. The quote-to-invoice flow is polished, it processes payments natively, connects to QuickBooks and Xero, and offers online booking and a customer portal. For a general contractor or a small mixed-trade business, Jobber is a reasonable default.

The catch for cleaning companies is two-fold. First, it's horizontal — built for home services broadly, not for the specific job of proving and protecting a janitorial contract. There's no proof-of-service workflow designed around cleaning quality control. Second, it's priced per user, and commercial cleaning is headcount-heavy. Those two facts are why cleaning operators start shopping for a Jobber alternative.

Jobber pricing

Jobber raised prices in 2026. The figures below are the no-commitment monthly rates — the honest sticker. A one-year commitment or annual prepay lowers them, but locks you in. Every plan counts users as billable seats.

Above Grow sits Plus at $699/mo for up to 15 users. The thing to watch is the per-seat model: every cleaner you add is a billable user, and over each plan's cap it's +$29/user/mo. There's no free plan (14-day trial only), and payment processing carries fees — about 2.9% + 30¢ on cards, 1% on ACH. Annual prepaid drops the headline rates to $29 / $149 / $299 / $529, but you're committing for the year.

Why cleaning operators look for a Jobber alternative

We built ProTeams as operators, not just engineers — running two commercial cleaning companies across 100+ sites since 2020. We tried Jobber on our own ProCleanings operation early on, and found it carried a lot that a commercial cleaning business simply doesn't need — it's built for the trades, not for janitorial. The same three frictions come up every time a cleaning business outgrows a horizontal tool:

1. You pay for every cleaner as a seat

Cleaning is headcount-heavy. On Jobber, a 10-person crew is the Grow plan at $399/mo, and every cleaner past 15 adds $29/mo. The same operation runs on ProTeams Launch at $79/mo, because we price by team with unlimited sites — your bill tracks your back office, not your roster.

2. No proof of service built for cleaning

Jobber manages jobs; it doesn't prove a cleaning contract was delivered to a client's satisfaction. There's no janitorial inspection workflow, no client-facing proof of service, no public issue page. For commercial cleaning, that proof is what renews the contract.

3. Built for trades, not for janitorial

Jobber serves plumbers, landscapers, and HVAC techs well — but commercial cleaning has its own language: sites, shifts, callouts, geofenced check-ins, supply tracking across locations. A tool built around that fits the work without workarounds.

Who should use Jobber, and who should choose an alternative

Jobber makes sense if you run a broad home-services business — or a mixed trade — and you want mature quoting, invoicing, and payment processing in one established tool today, with a small enough crew that per-seat pricing stays comfortable.

A Jobber alternative like ProTeams makes more sense if you run commercial cleaning specifically: you've got a field crew you don't want to pay seat fees for, you need proof of service and real-time visibility into who showed up and where, and you want client-facing tools that prove the work to clients — starting free, with unlimited sites.

The honest summary: Jobber is an excellent horizontal tool priced per seat. ProTeams is built for the cleaning operator specifically, priced by team — with bidding and invoicing arriving in 2026 to close the one gap Jobber leads on today.
