The #1 Jobber Alternative: Crew Ops Pro
All the features. No per-user fees. Save $3,240+ per year.
Why Contractors Are Looking for Jobber Alternatives
Jobber is a solid field service platform, but thousands of contractors are searching for alternatives every month. Here's why:
💸 The Per-User Fee Trap
Jobber's pricing model punishes growth. Start with 1 user at $199/month, then watch your bill balloon: $279/month for 3 users, $359/month for 5 users, $519/month for 9 users. That's $6,228/year just for 9 team members—before any add-ons.
The math is brutal: hire 2 employees to grow your business, and Jobber charges you $960 more per year. That's not scaling—that's being penalized for success.
🔒 Tiered Pricing Locks Away Essential Features
Jobber's Connect plan ($199/month) sounds reasonable until you realize what's missing:
- No GPS tracking - Can't see where your team is without upgrading to Grow ($299/mo)
- No automated workflows - Manual busywork unless you pay for Grow tier
- No service plans/recurring billing - Can't set up maintenance contracts on Connect
- Limited custom forms - Want industry-specific checklists? Upgrade required
Most contractors end up on the Grow plan ($299/month base) just to get features that should be standard. That's $3,588/year before adding team members.
💬 Add-On Fees for "Basic" Features
Even on the Grow plan, Jobber charges extra for features you'd expect to be included:
- Text messaging: $30/month - Want to send appointment reminders via text? That'll be $360/year extra
- Additional phone numbers: $5-10/month each - Multi-location businesses pay more
- Advanced reporting: Higher tiers only - Can't analyze profitability without upgrading further
🔧 Generic Software for Specific Industries
Jobber is built to serve everyone, which means it's optimized for no one. Pool service contractors can't track chemical levels. Chimney sweeps can't use CSIA inspection templates. HVAC techs can't log refrigerant usage efficiently.
You end up building workarounds in custom fields or maintaining separate spreadsheets—defeating the purpose of having field service software in the first place.

Switching from Jobber? Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about making the switch with confidence
How hard is it to switch from Jobber to Crew Ops Pro?
Switching is straightforward and takes about 2 hours total. Export your customer data from Jobber as CSV files (Settings → Export Data), then import directly into Crew Ops Pro. Most contractors complete the entire migration in an afternoon. We provide step-by-step guides and free support during your transition. You can even run both systems in parallel during your 14-day trial to ensure everything transfers correctly before canceling Jobber.
Will I lose my customer data, job history, or invoices when switching?
No, you won't lose anything. You own your data in Jobber, and you can export everything: customers, properties, job history, notes, invoices, and estimates. Crew Ops Pro's import tool maps your Jobber fields automatically, preserving all your historical data. Your customers won't notice any change—their information, preferences, and history come with you seamlessly.
What about my team? Will they need extensive retraining?
Crew Ops Pro is actually simpler and more intuitive than Jobber. If your team can navigate Jobber, they'll pick up Crew Ops Pro in about an hour. The mobile app is clean and straightforward—no bloated menus or confusing navigation. We provide video tutorials, quick-start guides, and live support to get your team up to speed quickly. Many contractors report their team prefers Crew Ops Pro because it's faster and less cluttered.
Can I try Crew Ops Pro before canceling my Jobber subscription?
Absolutely! Start your 14-day free trial. Import your Jobber data and run both systems side-by-side if you want. Test everything: create estimates, schedule jobs, process payments, run your actual business on Crew Ops Pro while keeping Jobber as a safety net. Only cancel Jobber once you're 100% confident. Most contractors know within 3-4 days that Crew Ops Pro is the better choice.
Does Crew Ops Pro really include GPS tracking, unlimited users, and unlimited texts?
Yes, everything is included at $89/month—no tiers, no add-ons, no games. GPS tracking, unlimited team members, unlimited text messages, automated workflows, service plans, custom forms, marketing campaigns, QuickBooks sync, mobile apps, online booking, payment processing, and industry-specific tools (pool, chimney, HVAC). What you see is what you get. No surprise charges ever.
What if I have 10+ employees? Is Crew Ops Pro still $89/month?
Yes. $89/month flat whether you have 1 employee or 100. No per-user fees, no volume discounts needed—just one simple price. This is a massive advantage as your business grows. On Jobber, 10 users costs $579/month ($6,948/year). On Crew Ops Pro, it's still $89/month ($1,068/year). You save $5,880 annually with a 10-person team—and the savings compound as you hire more.
How does Crew Ops Pro compare to Jobber's mobile app?
Our mobile app (iOS and Android) is built specifically for field techs who need to work fast. It's faster, cleaner, and has fewer steps than Jobber's app. Techs can clock in, view job details, complete checklists, capture photos, collect payments, and generate invoices—all offline if needed. Data syncs automatically when back online. The interface is intuitive enough that most techs start using it effectively on their first job without formal training.
What happens to my Jobber integrations (QuickBooks, Google Calendar, etc.)?
Crew Ops Pro integrates with QuickBooks Online for accounting sync, Google Calendar for scheduling, Stripe for payment processing, Mailchimp for email marketing, and Zapier for connecting to 5,000+ other apps. If you're using a specific integration in Jobber, check our integrations page or contact us—we'll let you know if it's supported or in development. Most popular integrations are already built-in.
