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.
Plans start at $29/mo, with features based on your plan, no signup fee, and a 14-day free trial with no card required. Card payments run through your own Stripe account. Stripe processing fees apply; FieldOps adds no platform fee.

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.
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 with a deeper feature catalog. FieldOps does not offer QuickBooks sync. GPS check-ins capture location at travel, arrival and completion taps; two-way SMS texting lands once carrier registration is complete. But the automations are already here: FieldOps Pro includes automated quote follow-ups, appointment reminders, and automatic review requests — over email today, with SMS to follow — plus a customer portal (client hub) on every plan. Everything you need to quote, schedule, invoice and get paid ships today.
Does FieldOps automate follow-ups and reminders like Jobber?+
Yes. FieldOps Pro ($79/mo, 8 seats) includes automated follow-ups on unanswered quotes, appointment reminders before each visit, and automatic review requests when a job's done. They run over email today and add SMS once carrier registration is live — no per-automation add-ons.
