When Jobber costs less

If most of your revenue comes in by card, Jobber Connect can cost less overall than Stacwork Team above roughly $15,000 a month in card payments for a team of 3 to 5 (about $9,000 for 1 user, $17,900 for 6), because its 2.9% + 30¢ card rate is lower than the 3.9% + 30¢ on Team. Jobber Core, $49 for 1 user, also costs less than Stacwork Team for a solo operator who takes most payments by card and needs only Core features.

Fair comparison

When Jobber is the better fit

We would rather you pick the right tool. Jobber is likely the better choice if:

  • You need route optimization and GPS tracking for your crews today.
  • You need QuickBooks Online or Xero sync, Zapier, or API access today.
  • You want native iOS and Android apps or two-way text messaging with customers.
  • You want an AI receptionist to answer calls and texts, or consumer financing on quotes.
  • You work alone, take most payments by card, and Jobber Core covers what you need.

Switching

Moving from Jobber

Your client list is yours. Here is how to export it from Jobber.

  1. 1

    Check that your Jobber plan includes client export, which Jobber offers on select plans.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Jobber as an admin user.

  3. 3

    Open Clients from the side navigation.

  4. 4

    In the top right, select More Actions, then Export Clients.

  5. 5

    Choose CSV, and Jobber emails you the file.

The CSV includes contact details, property addresses, tags, and custom fields; only admins can export clients, on plans that include export, the file arrives by email, and each file holds up to 1,500 rows, so larger lists come as several files.

Import from a Jobber file: not yet. It is coming soon. Until then, start free and add clients as you go, and keep your export ready.

Stacwork and Jobber: questions

Straight answers for teams comparing Stacwork with Jobber.

Is Stacwork cheaper than Jobber?

It depends on team size and how customers pay. In our examples, a 6-person crew taking $12,000 a month by card pays $529 on Stacwork Team against $588 on Jobber Connect, and a 4-person crew taking $20,000 of $30,000 by bank pays $525 against $695. For a team of 3 to 5, Jobber Connect can cost less above roughly $15,000 a month in card payments (about $9,000 for 1 user), because its card rate is lower.

Can I move my clients from Jobber to Stacwork?

If your Jobber plan includes client export, an admin can open Clients, select More Actions, then Export Clients, and Jobber emails a CSV. Stacwork does not import client files yet, so for now you add clients as you go.

Does Stacwork have route optimization and GPS tracking?

Not yet. Jobber includes routing and GPS tracking on Connect and up, so if your crews rely on them today, Jobber is the better fit.

Do I need a contract to get Stacwork's price?

No. Team is $49 a month billed monthly, or $490 a year. You can cancel, downgrade, or switch plans online from Settings, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Jobber's lowest list prices need a 1-year term, billed monthly or prepaid annually.

How do Stacwork's payment fees compare with Jobber's?

On Team, cards cost Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ plus a 1% Stacwork fee, against Jobber's 2.9% + 30¢ online. Bank payments on Team cost at most $10 each, Stacwork 0.5% capped at $5 plus Stripe 0.8% capped at $5, against Jobber's 1% with no published cap. Where the law allows, you can also pass card processing fees on to your customers.

Does Stacwork have a mobile app?

Not as a native app yet. Stacwork is a web app that works in any modern browser, and your team can add it to the home screen on iOS and Android. Offline mode is not available yet.

How does Stacwork use AI?

Stacwork's AI drafts quotes, messages, and follow-ups, marked as drafts for a person to approve, and autopilot is your choice, for routine email automations only. Co-work, on Team and up, answers questions about your business in plain English. Jobber offers AI chat and voice on every plan and auto-drafted quotes on Connect and up.
