Why Service Pros Switch from Jobber to GreenRoute
4x Cheaper Than Jobber
GreenRoute starts free and Professional is just $10/month. Even Professional Plus with team management is only $50/month. Jobber Core is $39/month -- and that's before per-user fees. For a 3-person crew on Jobber's Connect plan, you could be paying $119/mo or more.
No Per-User Fees, Ever
Jobber charges for every additional user on every plan. That means hiring a new crew member increases your software bill. GreenRoute charges a flat rate per plan with no per-user fees -- Professional Plus ($50/mo) supports up to 3 teams of 5 members each.
Trade-Specific Features
Jobber is a generic field service tool used by plumbers, cleaners, and more. GreenRoute is built specifically for service businesses, with route optimization, property measurement, and weather-based scheduling built right in.
Weather Planning Included
Outdoor service work is weather-dependent. GreenRoute integrates weather forecasts directly into your schedule so you can plan around rain days. Jobber doesn't offer weather integration at any price point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GreenRoute really cheaper than Jobber?
Yes. GreenRoute starts free and the Professional plan is just $10/month. Even Professional Plus with team management for up to 3 crews is only $50/month. Jobber starts at $39/month for a single user and charges extra for each additional team member, so a 3-person crew on Jobber can cost over $100/month.
Can I migrate my data from Jobber to GreenRoute?
Yes. You can export your customer list, job history, and invoices from Jobber and import them into GreenRoute. Our support team can help guide you through the migration process to make the switch as smooth as possible.
Does GreenRoute have the same features as Jobber?
GreenRoute covers all the core features service businesses need: scheduling, invoicing, CRM, quoting, route optimization, and a mobile app. Additionally, GreenRoute includes trade-specific features that Jobber lacks, such as weather-based scheduling and satellite property measurement.
Does GreenRoute charge per-user fees like Jobber?
No. GreenRoute never charges per-user fees. Team management is available on Professional Plus ($50/month for up to 3 teams of 5 members) and Enterprise ($199/month for unlimited teams). Jobber charges per user on every plan, which means your software bill grows every time you hire.
Is GreenRoute suitable for small service businesses?
Absolutely. GreenRoute is purpose-built for small service businesses. Whether you're a solo operator or running a crew of five, GreenRoute provides the tools you need without the complexity or cost of enterprise-grade platforms like Jobber's higher tiers.
