FieldEdge vs Jobber compared for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general home service contractors by pricing, features, QuickBooks fit, dispatch, mobile use, and user review data.
FieldEdge makes more sense if your trade is HVAC, plumbing, or electrical and you need a managed flat-rate pricebook, Proposal Pro quoting, service agreement tracking, and QuickBooks Desktop sync. Jobber makes more sense if you want to compare prices before talking to sales, run a free trial today, and handle scheduling, quoting, invoices, and payments across a broader set of home service trades.
FieldEdge and Jobber serve overlapping territory — scheduling, dispatch, quotes, invoices, and payments for field service contractors — but they are built around different buying assumptions. FieldEdge asks you to talk to sales, go through guided onboarding, and receive a custom quote based on your team size and add-ons. Jobber lets you see the prices on a public page, start a free trial today, and decide at your own pace.
That difference matters before you even get to features. If you run HVAC, plumbing, or electrical with multiple trucks and you need a pricebook, service agreements, flat-rate pricing, and QuickBooks Desktop sync built in, FieldEdge is worth a demo. If you want to know what you are paying before talking to anyone — and you need a working product fast — Jobber is the easier starting point.
FTC disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate or tracking links. If you sign up through one, ContractorSoftwareHub may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That does not change the recommendation. Jobber is a current affiliate partner; FieldEdge is not. I am comparing both based on the research brief, published pricing details, official feature pages, and user review data from G2 and Capterra.
Field service software makes sense when the daily mess has a name. For most contractors reading this comparison, the mess is one of three things: techs do not know where to go and why, the office cannot answer where a job stands without asking three people, or invoices and payments trail by days after the work is done.
Both FieldEdge and Jobber address that core loop: schedule the job, dispatch the tech, capture the work, invoice the customer, collect payment. The difference is the layer of trade-specific depth built around that loop.
FieldEdge makes sense when HVAC, plumbing, or electrical workflow is the center of gravity. If the company needs a managed pricebook with flat-rate pricing, service agreement tracking across a recurring customer base, equipment history attached to each site, or Proposal Pro good-better-best quoting for large system replacements, the trade-specific investment pays off. It is also the natural fit when QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is already the accounting backbone — the inventory sync extends to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory, which Jobber does not match.
Jobber makes sense when the team wants to start without a sales process. The 14-day trial gives access to Grow-tier features at no cost and without a credit card. If the work is cleaning, landscaping, handyman, pool and spa, pest control, or any of the dozens of categories Jobber covers, the HVAC pricebook depth FieldEdge offers is not the priority. Transparent plan pricing lets a solo contractor or small team compare Core at $49/month against Connect Team at $199/month and Grow Team at $399/month without scheduling a meeting first.
Skip both for now if the business is doing a handful of jobs a month and a spreadsheet plus QuickBooks is not causing real operational problems. Software adds overhead. Setting up service items, customer records, user permissions, payment settings, and accounting connections takes time before it returns value.
Also reconsider if the trade is primarily project-based — new construction, remodeling with significant change orders, or commercial jobs with subcontractor coordination and budget tracking. Neither FieldEdge nor Jobber is centered on construction project management. There may be better-fit tools for that job structure.
The specific risk with FieldEdge: if you want to compare pricing before a demo, you cannot. The no-free-trial policy means the first hands-on experience happens after the sales process has already started. For contractors who want to validate workflows before committing, that is a roadblock with no workaround.
The specific risk with Jobber: if your operation depends on a deep pricebook, advanced service agreements, and QuickBooks Desktop inventory, Jobber’s general-purpose feature set can feel thin. You can make almost any platform track extra fields, but forcing a general platform into a trade-specific workflow costs time you will not get back.
Pick FieldEdge if you run HVAC, plumbing, or electrical with multiple trucks and need flat-rate pricebook, service agreements, equipment history, Proposal Pro quoting, and QuickBooks Online or Desktop built into the platform from day one. The custom pricing and no-trial policy slow evaluation, but the trade-specific depth is real. Put it on the shortlist if the fit is right.
Pick Jobber if you want to see the price before talking to anyone, test the product on a free trial, and handle scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments, and customer communication across a broad range of home service trades. It is the safer starting point for teams not locked into HVAC/plumbing-specific workflows.
If the team is under five people and trade-specific depth is not a priority, Jobber Core at $49/month or Connect Individual at $139/month gives a clear on-ramp. If you are running a 10-tech HVAC company with hundreds of recurring service agreements, FieldEdge deserves the call.
If neither fits — either because the operation is growing past SMB scale or requires multi-location visibility — FieldEdge vs ServiceTitan is the next comparison to run.
If dispatch is already stretching the office, FieldEdge is the more trade-focused system. Its field service pages describe drag-and-drop dispatch, technician skill and location matching, real-time job status, and performance dashboards. For a dispatcher with ten techs spread across town, that means the software is built around questions like, “Who can handle this call, where are they now, and what is already on their board?”
Jobber covers the core field service loop from a broader angle. Online booking, scheduling, checklists and job forms on Connect, quote and invoice follow-ups, and mobile access help smaller teams move work from request to paid invoice without a lot of setup. That works well for cleaning, landscaping, handyman, pool and spa, pest control, and smaller HVAC companies that mainly need calendar discipline and customer updates.
The tradeoff is depth. Jobber can run jobs; FieldEdge is trying to run a trade dispatch desk. Pick FieldEdge when technician skill matching and job status visibility are part of the buying reason. Pick Jobber when the main problem is getting work scheduled, assigned, and closed without forcing the office into a long implementation.
FieldEdge has the edge when price presentation depends on a real trade pricebook. FieldEdge Flat Rate gives techs mobile access to a managed HVAC/plumbing/electrical pricing database, and Proposal Pro adds good-better-best proposal options that sync back into FieldEdge. That matters when a tech is presenting a compressor repair, system replacement, or plumbing option at the kitchen table and the owner wants every technician using the same numbers.
Jobber is better for teams that want quotes, follow-ups, invoices, and payments working quickly. Grow adds advanced quote customizations, optional line items, job costing, two-way SMS, and custom workflow automations. Payment costs are public: credit card 2.9% + $0.30, Tap to Pay 2.7% + $0.30, ACH 1%, and instant payouts add 1%. FieldEdge uses Xplor Pay, so you need to ask for the rate inside the quote.
Decision signal: FieldEdge if quote quality depends on flat-rate pricing and multi-option proposal presentation. Jobber if the pain is chasing unsigned quotes, unpaid invoices, and customer follow-up across a smaller service team.
FieldEdge is the specialized pick for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. The important pieces are not just labels on a trade page. The package includes pricebook and flat-rate pricing, service agreement management, equipment tracking, Proposal Pro, and QuickBooks Online/Desktop support. Elite also includes warehouse inventory management, but only for QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory.
Jobber covers HVAC and other trades as categories, but its value is broader home service coverage. If you run cleaning, landscaping, handyman, pool/spa, pest control, appliance repair, or another service business, FieldEdge’s HVAC/plumbing/electrical depth may not help you. If you run a ten-tech HVAC company with hundreds of maintenance agreements, Jobber’s general setup is more likely to feel thin.
Decision signal: the more your revenue depends on recurring maintenance, equipment history, and flat-rate repair options, the more FieldEdge deserves attention. If those phrases sound like overkill, Jobber is the cleaner starting point.
Accounting is one of the clearest splits. FieldEdge lists QuickBooks Online and Desktop on Select, Premier, and Elite. The pricing FAQ also names QuickBooks, Intacct, FleetSharp, Trane Technologies, and more, and FieldEdge’s payments pages describe Xplor Pay transactions syncing with QuickBooks. For contractors still running QuickBooks Desktop, this is the part of the comparison to verify first.
Jobber’s ecosystem is wider but more cloud-accounting oriented. The App Marketplace includes QuickBooks Online, The Home Depot, Zapier, WordPress, Gusto, Mailchimp, Xero, and other partner apps. Payment integration docs list Square, Authorize.net, PayPal Express, and Stripe, with the important catch that only one payment integration can be connected at a time. Jobber’s current pricing page highlights QuickBooks Online and Xero, not QuickBooks Desktop.
Decision signal: FieldEdge if QuickBooks Desktop is non-negotiable. Jobber if QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zapier, and app marketplace flexibility matter more than Desktop sync.
The review pattern favors Jobber on volume and consistency. Jobber has 4.6/5 on G2 from 509 reviews and 4.6/5 on Capterra from 1,456 reviews. G2 praise centers on ease of use, scheduling, and invoicing. Capterra’s positive themes point to scheduling/invoicing automation, business organization, and an intuitive interface. The complaints to test during the trial are mobile limits, reporting limits, integration syncing, and glitches.
FieldEdge has a smaller, more mixed review base: 4.0/5 on G2 from 87 reviews and 4.2/5 on Capterra from 306 reviews. Capterra praise is strongest around dispatch/scheduling, support, and customization. The warning sign is bugs and glitches: Capterra shows that as the largest negative theme, and G2 reviews mention slow loads and mobile limitations.
Decision signal: Jobber’s reviews make it easier to trust the trial path for general service teams. FieldEdge can still be the right trade fit, but ask sharper demo questions about mobile performance, recent bug fixes, and references from shops your size.
FieldEdge’s main claim is trade depth for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. The product is not trying to cover every home service category. It is positioned specifically for SMB and mid-market multi-truck operations in those three trades, and the feature set reflects that focus rather than spreading thin.
The pricebook integration is the clearest example. FieldEdge Flat Rate is a managed pricing database with mobile access, built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. Technicians in the field can pull flat-rate pricing on a phone, present options to the customer, and quote on-site without calling the office for a number. For a company that has invested in a pricebook — or wants to stop pricing by gut feel and technician memory — this is a real advantage that Jobber’s general quoting does not replicate.
Service agreements are another area where FieldEdge pulls away. Recurring maintenance contracts, equipment tracking, and service agreement management are built into the Premier and Elite plans. If the company bills annual or semi-annual HVAC maintenance agreements, FieldEdge can track which customers are current, which are due for service, and which technicians should handle each site. That workflow in Jobber requires more custom configuration and does not match the native depth.
Proposal Pro adds a structured good-better-best quoting layer. When a tech is at a home for a system replacement or major repair, presenting three options at different price points and service levels can raise the average ticket. Proposal Pro handles the format, syncs proposals back into FieldEdge, and keeps the sales motion consistent across technicians. On Select and Premier it is an add-on; on Elite it is included.
QuickBooks support across all three plans is a practical advantage, especially for shops still on QuickBooks Desktop. Many mid-size HVAC and plumbing companies have not moved to cloud accounting. FieldEdge lists QuickBooks Online and Desktop on Select, Premier, and Elite — both setups are covered. Jobber’s current pricing page points to QuickBooks Online and Xero with no mention of Desktop.
Dispatch is built for trade operations. FieldEdge’s field service pages describe drag-and-drop dispatch with technician skill and location matching, real-time job status, and performance dashboards. For a dispatcher managing ten to twenty technicians across a metro area, filtering by skill type and current location reduces phone calls and keeps jobs from stacking up.
Capterra reviewers rate FieldEdge’s dispatch and scheduling tools at 88% positive across 33 mentions. Customer support draws 89% positive across 27 mentions. Customizable features draw 92% positive across 26 mentions.
The biggest evaluation problem is pricing opacity. FieldEdge does not publish a single dollar amount. Select, Premier, and Elite are named, but the prices are custom quotes based on technician count, employee count, and selected add-ons. Scheduling a demo and receiving a proposal is the only way to get a number before you are already in the buying process.
For a contractor who wants to compare two platforms on a spreadsheet over the weekend, that is a real problem. Jobber can be priced in five minutes on the pricing page. FieldEdge cannot.
No free trial compounds the issue. FieldEdge’s official FAQ says the company uses guided onboarding and data transfer instead of a trial. That may suit a complex implementation, but the first hands-on experience comes after the purchase process has already started. A low-pressure test drive is not available.
Several advanced features are add-ons unless you are on Elite. Proposal Pro, MarketingEdge with two-way texting, and the Consumer Management Portal are listed as “Call for Pricing” on Select and Premier. Warehouse Inventory Management is Elite-only and restricted to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory. If those capabilities matter to your operation, Elite becomes the relevant starting point — and you are negotiating a custom quote at that tier.
Review data raises reliability concerns. Capterra’s largest negative theme is software bugs and glitches: 55% negative across 58 mentions. G2 reviewers note slow load speeds and mobile limitations. A 4.2/5 on Capterra with a Likelihood to Recommend of 6.9 out of 10 suggests the product works for most users, but the reliability complaints appear in enough reviews to take seriously. During the demo, ask specifically about mobile performance and recent bug fixes. Ask for references from shops your size and trade.
G2 gives FieldEdge 4.0/5 from 87 reviews — smaller sample than Jobber and a lower rating. The star split shows 62% five-star and 8% one-star, a wider variance than Jobber’s pattern. That does not mean the platform is unreliable, but it means the experience is less consistent.
Shortlist FieldEdge if HVAC, plumbing, or electrical workflow is the actual problem you are solving. Go in knowing the price and the trial are not available until you are already inside the sales process.
FieldEdge does not publish prices. Select, Premier, and Elite are custom quotes based on technician and employee count and selected add-ons. The pricing FAQ says no dollar amounts are posted and pricing varies by those factors.
What each tier includes:
Select — 2 mobile app licenses. Dispatching, booking and scheduling, basic service agreements and quotes, customer management, pricebook and flat-rate pricing, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, integrated payments, invoices, SMS texting, custom forms, automated alerts, and lead tracking. Proposal Pro and MarketingEdge are listed as “Call for Pricing” add-ons on this tier.
Premier — 4 mobile app licenses. Everything in Select, plus advanced dispatching, multi-option quotes, advanced service agreements, 10 saved reports, performance and commission tracking, and prospect tracking.
Elite — 6 mobile app licenses. Everything in Premier, plus unlimited saved reports, outbound call recording, Proposal Pro, MarketingEdge with two-way texting, warehouse inventory management, and the Consumer Management Portal. Inventory management requires QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory.
There is no free trial. FieldEdge uses guided onboarding and data transfer support instead. Plan downgrades are available only at the end of the current contract period.
For a two- or three-truck HVAC shop, Select or Premier is the likely starting point. If Proposal Pro or MarketingEdge matters, ask explicitly whether bundling into Elite costs less than adding those features to a lower tier. Get that comparison in writing before signing.
FieldEdge is best for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors running multiple trucks who want field service tools — pricebook, service agreements, Proposal Pro, dispatch, QuickBooks Desktop and Online sync — without having to wire them together from separate products. The trade-specific positioning is genuine.
It is not the first stop for general home service teams, solo operators who need a quick price to compare, or businesses that need a free trial before committing. If the trade is not HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, the depth FieldEdge offers in those verticals is not a selling point for you.
Jobber’s clearest advantage is that you can evaluate it without talking to anyone first. The pricing page shows exact monthly and annual rates for every plan, the 14-day Grow trial runs with no credit card required, and the app marketplace gives you a sense of what integrations exist before you sign a contract. For a contractor comparing two or three platforms in a single afternoon, that cuts out a lot of back-and-forth.
The pricing ladder has enough range for a wide set of team sizes. Core at $49/month (or $29/month with annual prepaid billing) covers one user with online booking, scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments, a basic website, reporting, and app marketplace access. Connect Team at $199/month or $149/month annual covers five users with automated reminders, automatic payments, checklists and job forms, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking. Grow Team at $399/month or $299/month annual covers ten users and adds job costing, two-way SMS, automatic time tracking, and custom workflow automations.
That structure means a solo operator can start at $49/month and step up as the business grows, rather than committing to enterprise pricing from a first demo.
The app marketplace is broader than FieldEdge’s published integration list. Jobber connects to QuickBooks Online, The Home Depot, Zapier, WordPress, Gusto, Mailchimp, Xero, and many more. Third-party payment options include Square, Authorize.net, PayPal Express, and Stripe, though only one payment integration can be active at a time. For a landscaper or cleaning company that runs its own marketing stack, the Zapier connection and broad marketplace give more flexibility than a trade-specific platform typically offers.
Customer-facing workflow tools are a practical strength. Online booking, client hub, automated payment reminders, quote and invoice follow-ups, and two-way SMS on Grow plans reduce the back-and-forth a small office spends chasing approvals and payments. A cleaning company following up on unsigned estimates or an HVAC shop trying to confirm appointment windows can automate that cycle in Jobber without a separate tool.
Review data is strong. G2 gives Jobber 4.6/5 from 509 reviews, with 77% five-star and virtually no one-star reviews. Capterra gives 4.6/5 from 1,456 reviews and 93% positive sentiment overall. The top G2 praise themes are ease of use (144 mentions), scheduling (79 mentions), and invoicing (77 mentions). Capterra highlights integrated scheduling and invoicing automation, centralized business organization tools, and an intuitive interface.
The review complaints deserve plain treatment. G2’s most common negative themes: improvement needed on client communication and AI features (42 mentions), limited mobile functionality (40 mentions), and limited features including job costing and QuickBooks integration depth (39 mentions). Capterra flags glitches and reliability concerns (65% negative across 113 mentions), limited reporting (57% negative across 46 mentions), and inconsistent syncing with integrations (54% negative across 39 mentions).
Those are not dealbreakers for every contractor, but limited reporting and inconsistent QuickBooks sync are worth testing on your own workflow before committing to an annual plan. Use the free trial to run a real job end to end, not just the onboarding flow.
Trade depth is the bigger structural limit. Jobber does not have FieldEdge’s trade-specific pricebook for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. It does not have the equivalent of Proposal Pro good-better-best quoting tuned for system replacements. It does not track service agreements the way FieldEdge does across a large recurring maintenance book. And the pricing page does not mention QuickBooks Desktop — if your accounting is in Desktop, Jobber is not the right fit.
Cost also adds up faster than the headline plans suggest. Core covers one user at $49/month. Extra users cost $29/user/month on every plan. A five-person team on Core would pay $49 plus $116 for four additional users — $165/month before payment processing fees or add-ons. At that total, Connect Team at $199/month with five users included and QuickBooks Online sync is the more logical comparison point. Add-ons — Marketing Suite ($79/month), Receptionist ($99/month), Pipeline ($49/month) — sit on top of those base rates.
Annual commitment carries real risk. Prepaid annual plans are non-refundable if cancelled during the year. Monthly plans with a one-year commitment continue billing through the 12-month term even if you stop using the product. If you are not sure the fit is right, start month-to-month and move to annual after the first 90 days.
Also worth noting: Jobber’s pricing page showed a limited-time promotional rate ending May 29, 2026 at time of research. The standard rates used throughout this article are what you pay after any promotion expires. Check the pricing page directly before purchasing.
Jobber publishes its prices. Standard rates (non-promotional):
Core — $49/month (no commitment) or $29/month (annual prepaid). One user. Online booking, scheduling, quotes, invoices, online payments, basic website, reporting, and app marketplace access. Extra users are $29/user/month.
Connect Individual — $139/month or $99/month annual. One user. Adds automated reminders, automatic payments, checklists and job forms, quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.
Connect Team — $199/month or $149/month annual. Five users. Same feature set as Connect Individual for a team.
Grow Individual — $199/month or $149/month annual. One user. Adds advanced quote customizations, optional line items, automatic time tracking, job costing, two-way SMS, and custom workflow automations.
Grow Team — $399/month or $299/month annual. Ten users. Same Grow feature set for a team.
Plus — $699/month or $529/month annual. Fifteen users. Includes Marketing Suite ($79 value), Receptionist ($99 value), Pipeline ($49 value), a dedicated onboarding specialist, Premium Support ($99 value), and a guided API walkthrough. Users beyond 15 require contact sales.
Payment fees: credit card 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, Tap to Pay 2.7% + $0.30, ACH bank payments 1%, instant payouts add 1%.
The 14-day trial is free, requires no credit card, and gives Grow-tier feature access. Use it to run at least one job end to end — schedule a job, assign a tech, send a quote, approve it, invoice, and collect payment. That single workflow will tell you more than a demo.
Jobber is best for general home service contractors who need scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments, and customer communication without trade-specific HVAC or plumbing depth. Cleaning, landscaping, handyman, pool and spa, pest control, appliance repair, and similar service businesses can get full value from the platform without needing flat-rate pricebook features.
It is also the practical starting point for any contractor who wants to compare prices and test the product before committing. That alone is worth something when the alternative is a sales-led process with no public pricing.
It is not the right first call for a 10-truck HVAC company running hundreds of recurring service agreements with QuickBooks Desktop. Those shops should run a FieldEdge demo before deciding.
This comparison breaks along one clear line: trade-specific depth versus pricing transparency and trial access.
Choose FieldEdge when the trade is HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, the operation has multiple trucks, and the team needs flat-rate pricebook, service agreements, Proposal Pro quoting, equipment history, and QuickBooks Desktop and Online at the core of the workflow. The custom pricing and no-trial policy are real buying obstacles. The trade depth can justify them when the fit is right. Request the demo, ask for pricing at your exact technician count, and ask what Elite costs versus building up from Select with add-ons.
Choose Jobber when the trade is broader, the team is small enough to start on published pricing, or the priority is testing the product quickly before committing to a contract. The 14-day Grow trial is a genuine advantage — use it to run a real workflow before signing anything annual.
If you are an HVAC or plumbing contractor trying to decide between the two: request a FieldEdge demo and start a Jobber trial in parallel. Run the same quote-to-payment workflow in both. The side-by-side experience will answer the question faster than any feature list.
If neither fits — the business is scaling past 15 users, has franchise or multi-location needs, or wants a broader home-service operating system with call center, marketing automation, and advanced payroll — the FieldEdge vs ServiceTitan comparison is the next one to read. For general home service teams deciding between Jobber and another generalist platform, Jobber vs Housecall Pro covers that decision.
| Product | Plan | Monthly (no commitment) | Monthly (annual) | Annual prepaid | Users | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FieldEdge | Select | Custom quote | Custom quote | N/A | 2 mobile licenses | No dollar price published; varies by tech count and add-ons |
| FieldEdge | Premier | Custom quote | Custom quote | N/A | 4 mobile licenses | Proposal Pro and advanced features may be separate add-ons |
| FieldEdge | Elite | Custom quote | Custom quote | N/A | 6 mobile licenses | Inventory requires QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise; Proposal Pro included |
| Jobber | Core | $49/mo | $39/mo | $29/mo | 1 user | Extra users $29/user/mo; QuickBooks sync not included |
| Jobber | Connect Team | $199/mo | $169/mo | $149/mo | 5 users | QuickBooks Online sync, automated payments, reminders included |
| Jobber | Grow Team | $399/mo | $349/mo | $299/mo | 10 users | Adds job costing, two-way SMS, custom automations |
| Jobber | Plus | $699/mo | $599/mo | $529/mo | 15 users | Marketing Suite, Receptionist, Pipeline included; 15+ contact sales |
FieldEdge processes payments through Xplor Pay — ask for the card rate in your quote. Jobber’s built-in payment fees: credit card 2.9% + $0.30, Tap to Pay 2.7% + $0.30, ACH 1%, instant payouts add 1%.
Neither product should be evaluated on plan price alone. Total Jobber cost includes payment processing, add-ons, and per-user charges. Total FieldEdge cost includes everything the initial quote may not surface: add-ons, additional mobile licenses beyond the base tier, and implementation scope.
Is FieldEdge or Jobber better for HVAC contractors?
FieldEdge is the better match for HVAC operations with multiple trucks, recurring service agreements, equipment history, and flat-rate pricebook. Jobber covers HVAC as a general category but does not have the trade-specific depth. If QuickBooks Desktop is the accounting backbone, FieldEdge deserves the first demo. If the HVAC business is small — one or two techs, lighter service agreement volume — Jobber’s trial can help you evaluate at lower risk.
Does FieldEdge offer a free trial?
No. FieldEdge’s official FAQ states the company does not offer a free trial. New customers go through guided onboarding and data transfer instead. If testing the product before committing is a requirement, Jobber’s 14-day trial with no credit card required is the alternative. The trial gives access to Grow-tier features.
Can I see FieldEdge pricing before talking to sales?
No. FieldEdge does not publish dollar amounts for any plan. Select, Premier, and Elite are custom quotes based on technician and employee count and selected add-ons. Jobber publishes exact monthly and annual rates for all plans on the pricing page, along with payment fees and add-on costs.
Does Jobber support QuickBooks Desktop?
Jobber’s current official pricing page highlights QuickBooks Online and Xero. There is no mention of QuickBooks Desktop in the current pricing documentation. FieldEdge lists QuickBooks Online and Desktop across all three plans. If QuickBooks Desktop sync is a hard requirement, FieldEdge is the safer pick.
What is the real cost of Jobber for a five-person team?
Jobber Core covers one user at $49/month. Adding four more users at $29/user/month brings the total to $165/month before payment fees or add-ons. Connect Team at $199/month includes five users plus QuickBooks Online sync, automated payments, and job forms — making it the more sensible starting point for most five-person teams. Run the math on your exact users, payment volume, and desired add-ons before picking a plan.
Should I look at alternatives to both?
Yes. For HVAC, plumbing, or electrical operations that want more depth or enterprise-scale capabilities beyond FieldEdge, ServiceTitan is the next evaluation — see FieldEdge vs ServiceTitan. For general home service contractors comparing Jobber to another generalist platform before deciding, Jobber vs Housecall Pro covers that choice. For smaller HVAC and plumbing shops that want a Jobber-like experience with trade-specific features, Housecall Pro is also worth a look.
