If you are comparing Workiz and Jobber, both are strong field service management platforms built for home-service businesses — but they serve different stages of growth and different priorities. Jobber publishes transparent, tiered pricing starting at $29 per month (as of October 2026) and is a strong pick for smaller crews who want scheduling, invoicing and QuickBooks sync without a complicated sales call. Workiz does not publish prices on its website and leans toward mid-size teams and multi-location businesses with its AI-powered add-ons and more advanced workflow automation. Read on for a side-by-side breakdown of both platforms based on their published pricing pages and plan documentation.
How to Use This Comparison
This guide is built from each vendor's official pricing and plan pages, checked in October 2026. Where a price or feature is not published, we say so rather than guess. We cover pricing, plan structures, features, integrations, add-ons, support and who each platform fits best. If you want the full picture on either platform, see our dedicated Jobber Reviews 2026 and our Workiz Pricing Explained guide.
Pricing at a Glance
Jobber pricing (as of October 2026)
Jobber lists every price publicly on its pricing page. Plans are sold per user, per month, in three billing options: monthly with no commitment, monthly with a one-year commitment, or annual prepaid. The regular prices (no promotional discounts) are as follows:
- Core (1 user): $49/mo no commitment · $39/mo on 1-year commitment · $29/mo annual prepaid
- Connect (1 user): $139/mo · $119/mo · $99/mo
- Grow (1 user): $199/mo · $169/mo · $149/mo
- Plus (5 users): $499/mo · $439/mo · $399/mo
- Extra users: $29/mo each on any plan
- Larger teams (16+ users): contact sales
For growing teams on monthly no-commitment billing, Connect runs $199 (5 users), $299 (10 users) or $399 (15 users); Grow runs $299, $399 or $499 at the same sizes. Annual prepaid plans are non-refundable; monthly no-commitment plans cancel anytime. Prices per getjobber.com/pricing, checked October 2026.
Workiz pricing (as of October 2026)
Workiz does not publish dollar prices. Its three plans — Standard, Pro and Ultimate — all show a "Request pricing" button on the workiz.com/pricing-plans page (checked October 2026). The FAQ notes that annual billing saves $400 or more compared with monthly billing, but no base rate is given. You need to contact Workiz sales to get a quote. This makes direct price comparison impossible without calling both vendors.
If transparent, upfront pricing matters to you — especially at the evaluation stage — Jobber has a clear structural advantage here.
Plan Structure Compared
Jobber's four-tier ladder
Jobber scales by user count and feature tier. Core is a single-user entry plan. Connect adds automation, QuickBooks Online sync and two-way text. Grow adds job costing, custom automations and two-way SMS. Plus is aimed at larger crews and adds crew scheduling, custom reports, unlimited photos and videos, Pipeline, a full Marketing Suite and an AI Receptionist. Add-ons available on qualifying plans include Marketing Suite ($99/mo), AI Receptionist ($29/mo) and Sales Pipeline ($49/mo).
Workiz's three-tier model
Workiz positions Standard for growing teams, Pro for mid-size teams and Ultimate for multi-location businesses and franchises. Every plan includes unlimited jobs, invoices, estimates and clients, plus QuickBooks Online sync, online payments, a client portal, price book, recurring jobs and online booking. The key differences are automation count (5 on Standard, 10 on Pro, 30 on Ultimate) and features like custom reports and Genius Scheduling (Pro), or service plans, inventory management, flat rate, purchase orders, equipment tracking, multi-day jobs, Open API and franchise management (Ultimate). Three AI-powered add-ons — Genius Phone, Genius Answering and Genius Marketing — are sold separately on all plans.

Integrations Compared
Jobber integrations
Jobber's published integrations include QuickBooks Online and Xero (accounting), Home Depot, Zapier and Gusto (payroll). The platform also connects to a marketplace of 100+ apps. Named integrations from the pricing page include those common to scheduling, payments and HR. Jobber does not natively list integrations with field-service-adjacent AI receptionists, though the Plus plan includes its own built-in AI Receptionist add-on.
Workiz integrations
Workiz lists QuickBooks, Reserve with Google, Google Calendar, Yelp, Thumbtack, Angi Leads, Linxup, Zapier, CompanyCam, JB Warranties, Sunbit, Wisetack, Dispatch.me, NiceJob and SearchKings, plus the Nexa answering service (workiz.com/pricing-plans, checked October 2026). Open API and Zapier are available on the Ultimate plan. If you rely on lead sources like Angi or Thumbtack or use CompanyCam for photo documentation, Workiz's native integrations may save you manual work.
Trades and Industries Covered
Both platforms serve a wide range of home-service trades. Jobber's listed trades include HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, lawn care, pool, pest control, tree care, junk removal, handyman, cleaning, pressure washing and window cleaning. Workiz lists HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, locksmith, garage doors, junk removal, carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, alarm and security, chimney sweep, construction, handyman, window cleaning, landscaping, lawn care, moving, snow removal, property maintenance, restoration, roofing, pressure washing and painting. For trades like locksmith, garage doors, appliance repair and moving, Workiz has explicit industry pages; Jobber does not list those trades on its pricing page.
If you run a locksmith, appliance repair or moving company, see our Best Junk Removal Software and Best Field Service Management Software for Small Business guides for additional options.
Who Jobber Is Best For
Strong fit
- Solo operators or small crews of 1–15 who want to see every price before talking to a sales rep
- Businesses that need QuickBooks Online or Xero sync at a mid-tier plan (Connect and above)
- Owners who want a 14-day trial on Grow features without a credit card
- Trades covered by Jobber's listed industries: HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, pest control, roofing, cleaning and more
- Teams that want a built-in AI Receptionist add-on ($29/mo) without a separate vendor contract
Where Jobber may fall short
- Franchise or multi-location management is not a listed Jobber feature; check directly with Jobber if that matters to you
- Inventory management and purchase orders are not listed in Jobber's published plan details
- Annual prepaid plans are non-refundable, so you are locked in once you pay
- Plus plan pricing ($399–$499/mo for 5 users) is a significant jump from Grow

Who Workiz Is Best For
Strong fit
- Mid-size or growing teams that expect rapid headcount changes and prefer a quote-based contract
- Multi-location businesses or franchises that need franchise management tools (Ultimate plan)
- Trades not well-served by Jobber's listed industries: locksmiths, appliance repair, garage door, moving companies
- Businesses that rely on lead platforms like Angi, Thumbtack or Yelp and want native integration
- Teams that want AI answering in English, Spanish and French via the Genius Answering add-on
- Companies using CompanyCam for photo documentation (native integration listed)
Where Workiz may fall short
- No published prices: you cannot compare costs without talking to sales, which slows evaluation
- Only a 7-day free trial vs Jobber's 14-day trial
- Key features like AI add-ons and Genius tools are priced separately and rates are not published
- Open API and Zapier are locked to the Ultimate plan; lower tiers have limited integration flexibility

Add-Ons and Hidden Costs to Know About
Jobber add-on fees
Jobber publishes its add-on prices. Marketing Suite is $99/mo, AI Receptionist is $29/mo and Sales Pipeline is $49/mo. Payment processing is 2.9% + 30¢ per card transaction, 2.7% + 30¢ for Tap to Pay, 1% for ACH and an additional 1% for instant payouts. These are clearly stated at getjobber.com/pricing. No surprise fees for most users.
Workiz add-on fees
Workiz's three AI add-ons — Genius Phone, Genius Answering and Genius Marketing — are listed as "sold separately" with no prices on the published plan page. Payment processing rates are also not published. Before committing, ask your Workiz sales rep to quote every add-on and processing rate in writing so you can do a true apples-to-apples comparison with Jobber.
Alternatives Worth Considering
Workiz and Jobber are not your only options. If you are in pest control specifically, GorillaDesk starts at $49/mo per route with transparent pricing and strong chemical-tracking features. For roofing or exterior contracting, our roofing CRM comparison covers tools built specifically for that trade. If you need a full CRM and marketing automation layer rather than field service management, our broader field service software guide covers ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge and more. You can also read our direct Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison if Housecall Pro is also on your shortlist.
For cleaning businesses in particular, our cleaning business software guide and landscaping software guide narrow the field to trade-specific tools.
Common Mistakes When Choosing Between These Two
- Choosing on feature lists alone. Both platforms list dozens of features. What matters is which features you will actually use in year one, and whether those are in the plan tier you can afford.
- Not asking Workiz for an all-in price. Because Workiz does not publish prices, it is easy to underestimate total cost if you add AI tools, Genius add-ons and processing fees on top of the base plan.
- Overlooking the trial difference. Jobber offers 14 days; Workiz offers 7. If your evaluation process takes two weeks, Jobber's trial period is more forgiving.
- Assuming QuickBooks sync is the same on every plan. Jobber includes QuickBooks Online sync from Connect upward, not on Core. Confirm which plan tier covers your accounting workflow before you buy.
- Ignoring multi-location needs. If you run more than one location or plan to franchise, Workiz Ultimate lists franchise management explicitly; Jobber does not list this feature in its published plan details. Verify with both vendors before signing.
- Skipping the support test. Jobber's support hours are published (Mon–Thu 8am–10pm ET, Fri 8am–8pm ET, phone 1-888-424-5301). Test both support channels during your trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Workiz publish its prices?
No. As of October 2026, all three Workiz plans — Standard, Pro and Ultimate — show a "Request pricing" button with no dollar amounts listed. The only pricing hint on the page is an FAQ note that annual billing can "save $400+" versus monthly. To get a quote, you need to contact Workiz directly at workiz.com/pricing-plans.
What is Jobber's cheapest plan?
The cheapest Jobber plan is Core at $49/mo on a monthly no-commitment basis, $39/mo on a monthly one-year commitment, or $29/mo prepaid annually (as of October 2026, per getjobber.com/pricing). Core is limited to one user and covers online booking, scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a website and basic reporting. It does not include QuickBooks sync, automated reminders or two-way SMS — those start on Connect.
Which platform has a longer free trial?
Jobber offers a 14-day free trial on Grow-plan features with no credit card required. Workiz offers a 7-day free trial, also with no credit card. If you need more time to evaluate the software with your team before committing, Jobber's longer trial window is a practical advantage.
Does Workiz support multi-location or franchise businesses?
Yes. Workiz's Ultimate plan — its highest published tier — lists franchise management, multi-location management and roles and permissions management as included features. Jobber does not list franchise management in its published plan details. If you run or plan to franchise, confirm the specifics with Workiz during the sales process.
Do either of these platforms integrate with third-party AI answering services?
Workiz lists Nexa (an answering service) as a native integration in its published integration list. It also sells Genius Answering as its own AI add-on. Jobber's Plus plan includes an AI Receptionist add-on for $29/mo. For third-party options, services like Smith.ai publish integration pages for both Jobber and Housecall Pro; confirm current Workiz compatibility directly with the answering service. See our Best AI Receptionist for Small Business guide for a full comparison of standalone options.
Can I switch from Workiz to Jobber (or vice versa) without losing my data?
Both platforms offer data migration assistance, but the specifics differ. Jobber's plan pages do not describe a structured migration program; contact their team directly. Workiz does not detail migration terms on its public pricing page. In both cases, ask the vendor in writing what data can be imported and in what format before you sign a contract with either.
Which is better for a small cleaning or pest control business?
For cleaning businesses, Jobber lists home cleaning as a supported trade and its Core plan starts at $29/mo prepaid — a low barrier. Purpose-built tools like ZenMaid (cleaning) or GorillaDesk (pest control) may offer trade-specific features at competitive prices; see our cleaning business software guide for a direct comparison. Workiz lists pest control and cleaning as supported trades but requires a sales call to get pricing.
The Bottom Line
Choose Jobber if you want transparent, published pricing you can evaluate before talking to anyone, a 14-day trial, and a clean upgrade path from solo operator to a team of 15. It is a strong pick for HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, roofing and cleaning businesses at any size up to around 15 users, especially those who already use QuickBooks Online or Xero. Check current plan pricing at getjobber.com/pricing.
Choose Workiz if you run a mid-size or multi-location operation, need franchise management tools, rely on lead platforms like Angi or Thumbtack, or want a platform with native CompanyCam, NiceJob or Wisetack integrations baked in. It is also worth considering if you are in a trade — locksmith, appliance repair, garage door, moving — that Jobber does not list on its published plan page.
