SoloBid vs Jobber

Same features you need. Half the price. Zero bloat.

Jobber is a popular field service tool for small service businesses. It's simpler than ServiceTitan, but it's still built for companies with a few employees — scheduling, route optimization, and crew management you'll never use as a solo contractor.

Why solo contractors switch from Jobber

Jobber is built for small service businesses with 2-15 employees. If you're a one-person shop, here's what that means:

The $49 Core plan doesn't include quoting — you need the $129 Connect plan for that.

You're paying for employee scheduling and route optimization you'll never open.

The mobile app is designed around dispatching jobs to a team, not solo workflows.

You just want to quote, invoice, and get paid. That shouldn't cost $129/month.

The honest breakdown

We're not trying to replace Jobber. If you run a big operation, use Jobber. But if you're a solo contractor, here's why SoloBid makes more sense.

Jobber has, you don't need

Great features — for companies with employees.

  • Job scheduling & calendar
  • Route optimization

  • Price book with saved materials and rates

Simple pricing
