Is there a cheaper alternative to Jobber?
It depends on headcount. Jobber Core is $49 a month for one user, with extra users at $29 a month each, and Jobber's 5-user Connect plan is $199 a month without commitment or $149 billed annually. ArrivePing is $49 a month for one dispatcher and two drivers, then $30 for each driver from 3 to 29, so a dispatcher and five drivers is $139 a month. Kickserv's Start plan is $60 a month for five users.
Compare the price for the team you'll have in a year, and check what's included at that price. In ArrivePing the live tracking link, automatic dispatch and the technician app are in every plan. See ArrivePing pricing and every feature.
What does live tracking without hardware look like?
The office sees every job and technician on one board and can let ArrivePing suggest who should go. When the technician taps Start Driving, the customer gets an on-my-way text with a live page that shows the ETA.
When should you stay with Jobber?
Switching costs time. Jobber remains a good fit if:
- Quoting, invoicing and online payments are most of what you use it for
- Your customers rarely ask where the technician is
- You already run FleetSharp or Force Fleet Tracking devices and like the vehicle data
- Your team is one person and Core covers what you need
