ArrivePing vs Jobber
Jobber is a well-established all-in-one tool for quoting, scheduling, invoicing and payments. ArrivePing focuses on dispatch and the customer's arrival experience: automatic assignment, live tracking and ETA texts in every plan.
Launching November 2026 · From $49 USD a month · No app for customers
Is ArrivePing a good Jobber alternative?
ArrivePing is a fit if your priority is dispatch and arrival times: it auto-assigns jobs by distance, skills and availability, tracks technicians through their phones without vehicle hardware, and sends customers a live tracking link with an ETA in every plan. Jobber is the stronger choice if you mainly need quotes, invoicing and a client hub from a long-established vendor.

Common questions
Does Jobber have live GPS tracking?
Jobber's GPS tracking page says its live map uses FleetSharp tracking devices installed in your vehicles, and that GPS waypoints are recorded when team members clock in and out (checked October 7, 2026). ArrivePing uses the technician app on the phone instead, with no vehicle devices.
Does Jobber send on-my-way texts?
Yes. Jobber lets you customize an on-my-way text message. ArrivePing's on-my-way text includes a link to a live tracking page with the ETA and one-tap text or call.
How much does ArrivePing cost?
ArrivePing starts at $49 USD a month, which includes your first driver. Drivers 2–10 are $30 each, drivers 11–30 are $27 each and every driver from 31 on is $25, billed monthly. Each rate applies only to the drivers in its band, so adding a driver never makes your bill jump.
How long does setup take?
Most teams dispatch their first job within an hour. You give the ArrivePing setup agent your website; it builds your workspace with your brand, services, a priced catalog, job templates, intake forms and customer texts, then asks a few questions about how you work.
