Jobber and Housecall Pro compared by price, users per plan, features, payment fees and free trials, using each company's own pricing page.
In this post
Jobber and Housecall Pro are two of the most popular apps for running a home service business. Both handle scheduling, quotes, invoices and payments, and both offer a 14 day free trial without a credit card. The differences are mostly in price, how many users each plan includes and which features come with each plan. This post compares them using the prices and plan details listed on each company's pricing page in November 2026.
A note before you read: SiteHike is an official Jobber partner and a Housecall Pro affiliate. If you sign up through the links on our partner pages, either company may pay us a commission. We build websites for owners who use both, and we don't think one is right for everyone.
All prices above are when billed yearly. Both companies charge more if you pay month to month, and Jobber also offers a lower price if you commit to a year and pay monthly. Jobber's Connect, Grow and Plus plans come in 1, 5, 10 and 15 user versions, and the prices change with the number of users.
Jobber Core includes online booking, quotes, invoices, online payments, a basic website, reporting and connections to more than 100 other apps. It's for one user only.
Housecall Pro Basic includes online booking, invoices and payments, scheduling and dispatching, estimates, a price book, job costing, review management and consumer financing for your customers. It's also for one user.
Jobber's starter plan costs less, while Housecall Pro's includes a few tools, like job costing and customer financing, that Jobber saves for higher plans or doesn't list on its pricing page.
Jobber Connect adds automatic client reminders, automatic payment collection, job checklists, follow ups on quotes and invoices, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.
Housecall Pro Essentials adds route planning, flat rate pricing, checklists, photo reports, employee GPS tracking, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync.
At 5 users, the two plans cost the same when billed yearly. The better choice depends on which of those features your crew will use every day.
Jobber Grow adds quotes with photos and reviews, optional upsells on quotes, automatic time tracking, job costing, two way text messaging and custom automations. Jobber Plus adds unlimited photo and video storage, crew scheduling, automated expense tracking, custom reports, and Jobber's Pipeline, Marketing Suite and AI receptionist tools, along with dedicated onboarding.
Housecall Pro Max adds a sales proposal tool, recurring service plans, route optimization with live traffic, API access, a dedicated onboarding specialist and faster phone support. It includes 8 users.
Jobber also sells some tools separately. Its pricing page lists Marketing Suite at $99 a month, the AI receptionist at $29 a month and Pipeline at $49 a month.
Both apps let customers pay by card or bank transfer, and both charge a fee on each payment. Jobber lists card payments at 2.9% plus 30 cents and bank payments at 1%. Housecall Pro lists card rates starting at 2.59% and bank payments at 1%. If most of your customers pay by card, the difference adds up over a year, so compare it using your own sales.
The best test is the free trial. Both give you 14 days without a credit card, so set up a few real jobs in each one and see which your team prefers.
Either app works best when new requests from your website go straight into it, so nobody has to retype a lead. We build websites that connect to Jobber or Housecall Pro, so a form on your site lands as a new request in the app your office already uses. Our Jobber partner page and Housecall Pro partner page explain how that works, and our SiteHike CRM page covers the follow up tools that come with our plans.
