Jobber vs FieldPulse
Jobber vs FieldPulse: pricing, contracts and who each fits
Short answer: Pick Jobber if you are a small home service crew that wants a published price by team size, no commitment, a quote-first workflow and the official ChatGPT and Claude connector. Pick FieldPulse if you have outgrown that: you need QuickBooks Desktop or two-way QuickBooks sync, stock on trucks, projects and an AI assistant included, and you accept a quoted price on a one-year term.

At a glance
The differences that decide it
Jobber is the simpler, self-serve tool; FieldPulse is built for contractors who need more depth and onboarding help. The differences are price and contract, accounting, inventory, offline and AI.
Jobber
Job management for home service businesses, priced by team size.
- Pricing
- From $49/mo for one user ($29/mo billed yearly). Team plans $199 to $699/mo for 5 to 15 users.[1]
- Contract
- Monthly or yearly. Fees are non-refundable, and on the one-year commitment paid monthly, cancelling counts as notice of non-renewal: the remaining monthly payments are still due. You can't downgrade a tier before that year ends.[2]
- Setup time
- Jobber says many customers are up and running in about two hours, most teams within 10 business days, and its onboarding team moves key data in 3 to 5 business days.[4]
- Free trial
- 14 days with Grow features, no card.[1]
FieldPulse
Field service software for growing trade contractors, quoted per seat.
- Pricing
- Not published. Seat-based, quoted in a sales call.[16]
- Contract
- One-year initial term unless your order form says otherwise, renewing yearly unless you give written notice at least 60 days before the end. No early termination for convenience; month-to-month needs 30 days' notice.[17]
- Setup time
- By team size: one user is self-serve; two users get up to two sessions within 14 days; 3 to 9 users finish training within 30 days; 10 or more within 60 days.[19]
- Free trial
- None published; the pricing page leads with a demo and a custom quote.[16]
- Built for
- Residential and commercial trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical and more). FieldPulse says it is built for teams of 3 to 100 employees.[21]
Price and contract
Jobber publishes prices by team size, from $49 a month for one user to $699 for 15 on Plus, with no commitment, a one-year commitment or annual billing. FieldPulse publishes none: it quotes per seat on a one-year term that renews unless you give 60 days' notice, and month-to-month costs up to 50% more than annual.
Accounting
Jobber syncs with QuickBooks Online and one way into Xero, and nothing passes to QuickBooks Desktop. FieldPulse syncs customers, items, estimates, invoices and payments both ways with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop 2024+ on Windows; its Xero sync is for Australia and New Zealand only.
Depth: stock, projects, agreements
FieldPulse tracks stock per truck and warehouse with purchase orders, runs multi-week installs as projects with staged invoices, and has maintenance agreements with recurring billing. Jobber has recurring jobs and material costs on jobs but no stock tracking or separate agreement module on its feature pages.
AI and ChatGPT or Claude
Jobber has an official connector for ChatGPT and Claude that reads records and creates requests, clients and quotes, but can't create jobs or invoices. FieldPulse has no such connector; its Maverick assistant works inside FieldPulse, is included on every plan, and drafts customers, jobs, estimates and schedules for a person to approve.
Pricing
Jobber vs FieldPulse pricing
Published prices only, read off each vendor’s own pricing page on 13 November 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a price we say so rather than repeat third-party guesses.
Jobber
Published tiers, priced by plan and team size (1, 5, 10 or 15 users). Above 15 users, contact sales.[1]
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Core1 user | $49 | $29 |
| Connect1 user; 5 users $199 / $149; 15 users $399 / $299 | $139 | $99 |
| Grow1 user; 5 users $299 / $229; 15 users $499 / $399 | $199 | $149 |
| PlusFrom 5 users; 15 users $699 / $529 | $499 | $399 |
- Extra users $29/mo each. Add-ons: Marketing Suite $99/mo, AI Receptionist $29/mo, Pipeline $49/mo (Receptionist and Marketing Suite are included in Plus).[1]
- A third option sits between monthly and yearly: a one-year commitment paid in 12 monthly instalments.[1],[2]
- Card payments 2.9% + 30¢, Tap to Pay 2.7% + 30¢, bank (ACH, US) 1%.[1]
FieldPulse
Seat-based custom quote: fees depend on the number of users and the add-ons you take. No plan names or prices on the page.[16],[17]
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Core platform + seatsMaverick AI assistant included on all plans | Quote | Quote |
| Premium productsEngage phones, Operator AI, Chat AI, Pricebook, Payments, Financing, Fleet Tracking, Custom Forms | Quote | Quote |
- Month-to-month subscriptions cost up to 50% more than the annual rate for the same users and products.[17]
- Seats rise automatically when you add a user past your count; billed seats don't fall when you remove users.[17]
- Self-import and accounting integrations are included; data migration by FieldPulse's team is a paid service.[18]
No like-for-like worked example is possible, because FieldPulse doesn't publish a price. Jobber's published prices for 5, 10 and 15 users on Grow are $299, $399 and $499 a month on monthly billing. Ask FieldPulse for a written quote at the same headcount, with the add-ons you need and both the annual and month-to-month price.
Commitment
Contracts, minimums and implementation time
As each vendor states it. These decide your real switching cost more than the monthly price does.
| Jobber | FieldPulse | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | Monthly or yearly. Fees are non-refundable, and on the one-year commitment paid monthly, cancelling counts as notice of non-renewal: the remaining monthly payments are still due. You can't downgrade a tier before that year ends.[2] | One-year initial term unless your order form says otherwise, renewing yearly unless you give written notice at least 60 days before the end. No early termination for convenience; month-to-month needs 30 days' notice.[17] |
| Minimums | No minimum beyond the term you choose. Plus starts at 5 users and covers up to 15.[2],[1],[3] | The term on your order form (one year by default) and the seat count you signed for, which can't drop during the term.[17] |
| Implementation | Jobber says many customers are up and running in about two hours, most teams within 10 business days, and its onboarding team moves key data in 3 to 5 business days.[4] | By team size: one user is self-serve; two users get up to two sessions within 14 days; 3 to 9 users finish training within 30 days; 10 or more within 60 days.[19] |
| Onboarding included | Connect: 2 sessions (up to 2 hours). Grow: 3 sessions (up to 3 hours). Plus: unlimited sessions with a dedicated specialist and data import help.[1],[3] | Dedicated implementation specialist from 3 full users; accounting sync is switched on by request, and QuickBooks Desktop starts with a scheduled call.[19],[20] |
| Free trial | 14 days with Grow features, no card.[1] | None published; the pricing page leads with a demo and a custom quote.[16] |
Features
Jobber vs FieldPulse (and Fieldproxy), feature by feature
What each product does, with the plan it needs where the vendor says. Anything we could not confirm on the vendor's own pages is left out. The Fieldproxy column is our own product, so you can see a third option; each cell links to the page that shows it.
Scheduling and dispatch
Jobber
Drag-to-reschedule calendar, map view and routing. Route optimisation on Connect and up; Jobber's help center says the Optimize button runs twice a day and is tied to its older schedule view.[6],[7]
Jobs and work orders
Quotes and estimates
Invoicing and payments
Jobber
Batch invoicing, Jobber Payments (card, Tap to Pay, ACH) and consumer financing through Wisetack.[6],[1]
Maintenance agreements
Jobber
Recurring jobs with repeat visits. We found no separate membership or service-agreement module on Jobber's feature pages.[6]

QuickBooks Online
FieldPulse

Fieldproxy
AI features

Jobber AI: AI Receptionist (paid add-on, included in Plus), custom report builder, automations, Rewrite, voice commands in the field and recommendations.[9],[1]
ChatGPT / Claude (MCP)
Jobber
Official connector for ChatGPT and Claude on all paid plans. Reads clients, requests, quotes, jobs and invoices; creates requests, clients, properties and quotes. It can't create or edit jobs or invoices, change the schedule, or delete anything.[13]
FieldPulse
No ChatGPT or Claude connector to account data found. The help centre's MCP server only searches help articles.[40]
Customisation depth
Jobber
Job forms and checklists; custom time-tracking labels and a Custom Automation Builder on Plus. Work follows Jobber's request, quote, job, invoice flow.[6],[3]
Fit
Which trades and company sizes each one suits
Jobber suits small crews that run the system themselves; FieldPulse suits contractors that have outgrown the basics and want help setting up.
Pick Jobber if…
- You are a solo operator or a crew of up to 15 in cleaning, lawn care, landscaping, handyman or similar, and want to start at $49 a month.
- Your work is quote-led and you want automated quote follow-ups.
- You want to cancel any month, and run setup yourself on a 14-day trial.
- You want ChatGPT or Claude to look up clients, quotes, jobs and invoices through an official connector.
Pick FieldPulse if…
- You run QuickBooks Desktop, or want two-way QuickBooks Online sync including estimates and payments.
- You carry stock on trucks, buy on purchase orders, or run installs as multi-week projects.
- You sell maintenance agreements with recurring billing and signed contracts.
- You want an onboarding specialist and an AI assistant included, and accept a quoted, annual contract.
Reviews
What users complain about
Recurring themes in G2 and Capterra reviews, paraphrased. Both products are well rated overall; these are the patterns in the critical reviews, not the average experience.
Jobber
- Reporting is the most-cited weakness: users find it basic and hard to slice without exporting.[14]
- Cost rises with add-ons and jumps between plans; some reviewers call out price increases and features held back for higher tiers.[14],[15]
- Occasional glitches, including inconsistent QuickBooks syncing, and a daily re-login some find tiresome.[14]
- Limited control over user permissions and quote layout.[14],[15]
FieldPulse
- Setup takes time, and some reviewers describe a learning curve before the team is comfortable.[42],[43]
- Cost adds up once extra users and add-ons are included, and some find payment processing fees high.[44]
- Occasional bugs and glitches that need workarounds.[42]
- Some want more customisation and easier API access for third-party tools.[42]
Switching
Switching between Jobber and FieldPulse
Customer lists and item catalogues move by CSV in both directions. FieldPulse's term and notice period, and Jobber's one-year commitment if you chose it, set the timing.
Jobber to FieldPulse
- An admin exports clients from Jobber as CSV or vCard (up to 1,500 rows per CSV file).[45]
- FieldPulse's Jobber migration guide maps Clients to Customers, Visits to Site Visits, Quotes to Estimates and Products & Services to its Item List, and imports with FieldPulse's own templates.[46]
- Self-import is included; having FieldPulse migrate the data for you is a paid service.[18]
- If you are on Jobber's one-year commitment paid monthly, the remaining payments are still due when you leave.[2]
FieldPulse to Jobber
- Send written notice of non-renewal to cancellations@fieldpulse.com at least 60 days before your term ends; you have 60 days after it ends to export.[17]
- An admin exports customers (CSV by email) and estimates and invoices from FieldPulse.[47],[18]
- Import clients into Jobber from CSV (files under 2.5 MB, about 5,000 rows) and jobs from CSV, up to 1,000 at a time (beta).[48],[49]
- Rebuild maintenance agreements as recurring jobs and stock as material costs, since Jobber has no separate agreement module or stock tracking on its feature pages.[6]
What usually breaks in a switch, whichever way you go
- Recurring agreements. The agreement record usually exports; the schedule of future visits, visits used and renewal dates often have to be rebuilt. Ask who does that work.
- Price book. Items and prices export; good-better-best option packages, images and member pricing rules usually need rebuilding.
- Job history, photos and attachments. Ask how much history comes across and in what form. Photos and PDFs are usually the hardest part to move.
- Equipment records. Make, model, serial and install date per customer drive replacement sales, so move them properly rather than as a notes field.
- Stored cards. Saved cards are held by the payment processor, not the field service app, so they rarely move. Plan for customers to re-enter cards.
- Open work and timing. Pick a cut-over date for open estimates, unpaid invoices and booked jobs, and switch in a quiet season, not your busiest week.
Before you sign
Questions to ask both vendors in the demo
- FieldPulse: what is the price per seat on an annual term and on month-to-month, and which premium products are in that number?
- FieldPulse: what does the order form say about the term, renewal and notice, and can we reduce seats at renewal?
- Who moves our data across, what exactly comes over (agreements, price book, photos, equipment), and what do we rebuild ourselves?
- Show a tech building a good, better, best quote on the phone with no signal.
- Show a maintenance agreement with our real terms: visits per year, member pricing, renewal reminder.
- Can we change forms, job stages and checklists ourselves later, and how long does a change take?
A third option
Where Fieldproxy fits
When it is worth a look
Fieldproxy is AI-native field service software that is set up around your own workflow: your job types, stages, forms and approval steps, live within a day. It is one price per company with unlimited users, and you can run it from ChatGPT or Claude through its MCP server. It replaces Jobber or FieldPulse; it does not sit on top of either.
It is worth a look when Jobber has become too simple but you don't want to sign a seat-based annual contract: unlimited users on one price per company, your own stages, forms and approvals, two-way QuickBooks Online, Desktop and Enterprise, Xero and Sage, and an MCP server that lets Claude or ChatGPT create jobs and invoices with a confirm step. Migration is free and you're live within a day.
When it is not
If you are a small crew running a standard request, quote, job, invoice flow, Jobber is cheaper to start and simpler, and Fieldproxy is more system than you need.
Fieldproxy has no free trial or card sign-up; pricing is quoted on a call. If you want to start today on your own, Jobber offers a 14-day trial with no card. FieldPulse starts with a demo.
