Jobber vs Housecall Pro: two field-service apps, side by side
Jobber and Housecall Pro are the two best-known apps for home-service businesses. Both schedule and dispatch, quote, invoice and take payments, and both offer a 14-day free trial with no card. They differ in price, in what the first plan includes and in where each one leans. Here's a fair look at both, from their own pricing pages checked November 2026.
The short version
Jobber is the cheaper way in if you'll commit to a year. Its first plan is $29 a month billed yearly, $39 a month on a yearly commitment or $49 month to month, for one user. Housecall Pro starts at $59 a month billed annually or $79 month to month, also for one user. Neither has a free plan.
For the money, Housecall Pro's first plan includes review management, which Jobber's first plan doesn't. Jobber's first plan comes with a website, reporting and over a hundred app integrations, and it moves automated reminders and QuickBooks sync to its next plan up. Both run on iPhone, Android and the web.
- Jobber leans toward a business that books recurring visits and wants a client hub, a website and many integrations.
- Housecall Pro leans toward a home-service company that lives on inbound bookings, reviews and live support.
- For one person who doesn't dispatch anyone, both may be more than the job needs.

What Jobber costs
Jobber has no free plan. Its 14-day free trial gives full access to the Grow plan, with no credit card. These figures are from Jobber's pricing page, checked November 2026. A yearly payment is non-refundable and renews on its own.
- Core: $49 a month month to month, $39 a month with a 1-year commitment, or $29 a month billed annually. 1 user, and each extra user costs $29 a month. Includes online booking and scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a website, reporting and 100+ app integrations.
- Connect: from $99 a month billed annually, $119 with a 1-year commitment or $139 with no commitment, for 1 user. Adds automated client reminders, automatic payments, quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync and time and expense tracking.
- Grow and Plus cost more and add things like job costing, two-way texting, crew scheduling and an AI receptionist.
What Housecall Pro costs
Housecall Pro has no free plan either. Its 14-day free trial needs no credit card. These figures are from its pricing page, checked November 2026, before sales tax.
- Basic: $59 a month billed annually, or $79 month to month, 1 user. Online booking, invoices and payments, scheduling and dispatching, quotes and proposals, and review management.
- Essentials: $149 a month billed annually, or $189 month to month, 5 users. Adds routes, flat-rate pricing, checklists, photo reports, GPS tracking, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync.
- Max: $299 a month billed annually, or $329 month to month, 8 users, then $35 a month per extra user. Adds a sales proposal tool, recurring service plans, route optimization and an open API.
Where each one leads
Jobber is strong on connections and consistency. Over a hundred integrations and a website builder come on its first plan. Clients get a hub where they can see quotes and pay, and Jobber charges the same card rate on every plan. Its lowest prices need a year's commitment, and adding people costs extra per user.
Housecall Pro is strong on the customer-facing side and on support. Online booking and review management come on its first plan. Live phone and chat support comes with every plan, the app works in English and Spanish, and it offers consumer financing and check deposit with no fee. Its first plan holds one user, and the next plan up jumps to five users at a much higher price.
Both take cards online and in the field with Tap to Pay, plus US bank payments. Both put QuickBooks Online sync on a plan above their first one.
Which should you pick?
If you can commit to a year and want the lowest entry price, a website and lots of integrations, Jobber is the pick. If online bookings and reviews bring in your work, you plan to add techs, and live support matters, Housecall Pro is the pick. Use the 14-day trials on both, with the same week of real jobs, before you commit to either.

A free third option for a solo pro
If you work alone and don't dispatch anyone, you may not need either. Workeey is a phone app for one-person trades, and its free plan never runs out. It includes unlimited invoicing with a pay link, 10 payment reminder texts a month, 23 quick estimates a month and a schedule with routes to the next client. Workeey Pro is $5 a month and adds Google Calendar and QuickBooks sync. Premium is $19 a month.
It doesn't do what these two do for teams: no online booking, no dispatching, no team logins, no Tap to Pay and no iPhone app. It runs as an Android app and in any phone's browser. See the free alternative to Jobber or the free alternative to Housecall Pro.
Which is cheaper, Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Jobber, at the entry level. Jobber starts at $29 a month billed yearly, $39 a month on a yearly commitment or $49 month to month. Housecall Pro starts at $59 a month billed annually or $79 month to month. Both prices are for one user (checked November 2026).
Do Jobber or Housecall Pro have a free plan?
No. Both offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card, then a paid plan. Neither has a plan that stays free.
Which one includes QuickBooks sync on the first plan?
Neither. Jobber puts QuickBooks Online sync on its second plan, and Housecall Pro puts it on its second plan too, which also raises the user count to five.
Which is better for a team?
Both dispatch techs. Housecall Pro's second plan includes five users, and Jobber charges per extra user and offers team tiers on its higher plans. Compare the plan that fits your headcount, not just the entry price.
Is there a free option for a one-person business?
Yes. Workeey is free to keep, with unlimited invoicing, reminder texts, quick estimates and a schedule. It has no dispatching or team logins, so it fits a solo pro rather than a crew.
