Free Trial Tips
Start with Connect or Grow, not Core
The trial gives you full access to any plan. Start with a higher plan to test features like online booking, automated reminders, and QuickBooks sync. You can always downgrade after the trial.
Import your real client data
Upload your actual client list on day 1. This makes the trial realistic and lets you evaluate the software with your real workflow, not just sample data.
Set up 5 real jobs
Create at least 5 actual upcoming jobs. This tests the scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing workflow end-to-end.
Test the mobile app in the field
Have a tech use the Jobber app for a full day of work. The mobile experience is where most field service software succeeds or fails.
Connect QuickBooks during the trial
If you use QuickBooks, connect it during the trial to test the two-way sync. This is often the deciding factor for businesses choosing between Core and Connect.
Downgrade Strategies
Grow to Connect
You lose: two-way texting, automated quote follow-ups, job costing, advanced reporting. You keep: online booking, automated reminders, QuickBooks sync, GPS tracking, expense tracking. When it makes sense: if you rarely use job costing or two-way texting, downgrading saves $50/mo on solo or $100/mo on team plans.
Connect to Core
You lose: online booking, automated reminders, QuickBooks sync, GPS tracking, expense tracking, route optimization. You keep: scheduling, invoicing, CRM, mobile app, online payments. When it makes sense: rarely. Most businesses that have used Connect features find Core too limiting. Only consider this if you are a true solo operator doing fewer than 20 jobs/month.
Hidden Costs to Watch
Payment processing fees
2.9% + $0.30/txnJobber Payments charges 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction. On $20K/month, that is $610/month in fees. Not hidden exactly, but often overlooked when comparing plan costs.
Extra users on team plans
$29/user/moEach user beyond the included count costs $29/month. A 20-person team on Plus (15 included) pays $529 + (5 x $29) = $674/month.
No built-in marketing
External tool neededUnlike Housecall Pro, Jobber has no email marketing, postcard campaigns, or review management. If you need these, budget for a separate tool like Mailchimp ($13-$350/mo) or Podium ($249-$599/mo).
Upgrade pressure during trial
Awareness onlyThe trial defaults to a high-tier plan. When you downgrade after the trial, you may find features you relied on are now locked. Test the plan you actually intend to buy.
