How Much Does Jobber Cost, and What Does a Drain Shop Get for It?
By Mike Rhoads, Founder, NorthRidge Systems™·September 7, 2026
Jobber is one of the few field service products that puts numbers on the page, so owners start there. Good instinct. The published tier is still only part of the bill.
How the bill is built
There is a plan tier, and the tier caps how many users you get. Past that cap you pay per additional user, and office staff count. Then there is payment processing, billed as a rate on every card you run, which on a replacement job is real money.
Check their current tier page before you budget. Tiers and user caps move, and any number a blog quotes goes stale fast.
- ·Plan tier and its included user count.
- ·Per additional user charge, techs and office both.
- ·Annual versus monthly, and what the annual commitment locks.
- ·Payment processing rate against what you pay today.
Where it fits
For scheduling, quoting, and invoicing simple home service work, it is a tidy product with a short learning curve. Plenty of two and three truck shops run it happily for years.
Where sewer and drain work strains it
A drain call rarely ends as a drain call. Camera inspection, locate, cleanout, then a lining conversation with a five figure number attached, all of it priced and presented while your tech is still standing in the driveway with footage on his phone. General quoting tools were not shaped for that, so the option pricing and the proof end up living in text messages.
FieldMetrx™ Core is $197 a month billed annually or $297 month to month, up to five techs, live today, with a 30 day money back window.

Frequently asked
Does Jobber charge per user?
Yes. Each tier includes a set number of users and additional users are charged on top, including office staff.
Is Jobber cheaper than ServiceTitan?
Generally yes to start. ServiceTitan is quoted privately and typically lands well above a published tier product once seats, modules, and onboarding are counted.
What is a good Jobber alternative for drain cleaning?
Look for camera inspection reporting, good better best option pricing, and driveway proposals with photos attached. That is the gap a general tool leaves in sewer and drain work.
