FieldOps runs on your own Stripe account at the standard 2.9% + 30¢ — FieldOps adds 0% on top. You keep the payout relationship.

Processing is estimated as your card volume × each provider's card rate; the fixed 30¢ per-transaction fee is excluded on both sides. Subscription reflects the cheapest Jobber plan that seats your team.

Why crews leave Jobber

  • Two-way texting, job costing and automatic time tracking live on the $199 Grow tier — a lot to pay to text a customer.
  • QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking require the $119+ Connect tier.
  • Payments still run through Jobber's processor — you don't own the Stripe relationship.
  • Feature-tier ladder means the price you start at rarely stays the price you pay.

Honest pricing, and 0% of your jobs.

Starter is $29/mo, Pro is $79/mo — every feature included, no signup fee, and a 14-day free trial with no card required. Card payments run through your own Stripe account, so you keep 100% of what you charge. FieldOps never takes a cut of your work.

FieldOps vs Jobber FAQ

Is FieldOps cheaper than Jobber?+

On subscription, clearly: FieldOps is $29/mo (Starter) or $79/mo for 8 seats, versus Jobber's $49 Core (1 user) up to $199 Grow. On card processing the two are the same — Jobber and FieldOps both use the standard 2.9% + 30¢ rate — so the real savings are the lower subscription and no signup fee. Run your own numbers in the calculator above.

Can I move my Jobber data to FieldOps?+

Yes. FieldOps imports your customers and jobs from a Jobber CSV export in the built-in import wizard — most crews are up and running in an afternoon. (Quotes and invoices aren't imported yet; you start those fresh.)

Do I keep my own payment processor?+

Yes — FieldOps connects to your own Stripe account, money lands in your bank, and FieldOps takes 0% platform fee on top of Stripe's standard rate. Jobber routes payments through its own processor.

What does Jobber have that FieldOps doesn't yet?+

Jobber is a mature product; QuickBooks sync and GPS check-ins are on the FieldOps roadmap (marked "soon"), and two-way SMS texting is coming once carrier registration is complete. Everything you need to quote, schedule, invoice and get paid ships today.
