Looking for a Jobber alternative?
Jobber is built for fleets. This is built for you.
If you run a home-service crew of 1–5, you don't need dispatch software for ten trucks — you need jobs booked, invoices paid, and customers coming back on their own. That's the whole product. $29–$99 a month, flat, no per-user fees.
No credit card. Import your Jobber clients by CSV in one step.

A 3-person crew, one year
On Jobber, the tier small crews actually need is Connect — around $169/month for a team, about $2,000 a year before payment processing or marketing add-ons. My Service Lab Pro runs the same crew $69/month — $828 a year, everything included. That difference pays for a lot of gas, gear, or actual advertising.
When Jobber is the right call — honestly
Jobber is good software with real strengths: route optimization across many trucks, GPS fleet tracking, consumer financing on big quotes, e-signatures, phone support, and a large integration marketplace. If you're dispatching ten techs across a city, buy Jobber — that's who it's built for, and that's why it costs what it costs. If you're a crew of one to five, you'd be paying fleet prices for fleet features you'll never open.
Everything a small crew runs on
| Scheduling with drag-and-drop week + crew assignment | ✓ |
| Quotes customers approve by email | ✓ |
| One-tap invoices, card payments, deposits | ✓ |
| Automatic repeat-customer reminders (set each customer's rhythm once) | ✓ |
| Free customer booking page + customer portal | ✓ |

The dashes are on purpose — fleet features stay out, so the price stays down.

Questions switchers ask
Why is Jobber so expensive for a small crew?
Jobber's entry plan is affordable, but the features most crews actually want - automated reminders, QuickBooks sync, time tracking - start on their Connect tier (over $100/month solo), and every extra team member adds a per-user fee. My Service Lab's Pro plan is $69/month flat with up to 5 team members included.
Can I switch from Jobber to My Service Lab?
Yes. Export your clients from Jobber as a CSV and import them into My Service Lab in one step. Set each customer's service rhythm once and the automatic reminders take over from there. Most small crews are moved in under an hour.
What does Jobber have that My Service Lab doesn't?
Real things: route optimization, GPS fleet tracking, consumer financing, phone support, e-signatures, and a large integration marketplace. If you're running many trucks and dispatching a big team, those matter and Jobber is a fair choice. For crews of 1-5, most of it is paid-for shelf space.
Do you charge per user like Jobber does?
No. Pro is $69/month flat and includes up to 5 team members - crew scheduling, job assignment, clock in/out, and team chat included. Adding your helper never changes your bill.
Is there a free trial?
Yes - every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, no credit card required. Jobber's trial is 14 days.
