Company profile
researched Aug 2026Jobber develops an all-in-one operations management platform for small home service businesses, spanning the full customer lifecycle from quoting and scheduling crews to dispatching jobs, invoicing customers and accepting credit card payments. The product is delivered as SaaS with companion iOS and Android apps for field and office staff, and includes client management, timesheets, expenses, job costing, online booking, two-way SMS, automated client reminders, workflow automation and more than 20 built-in reports.
Beyond core field service workflows, Jobber sells marketing and lead-generation modules including automated Google review requests, an SEO-oriented website builder, email campaigns, a referral program, and a Pipeline lead tracker. Payments are handled through Jobber Payments, with Tap to Pay on mobile devices and consumer financing offered inside quotes via a partnership with Wisetack. QuickBooks Online syncing and an app marketplace connect Jobber to third-party services. The company has added an AI layer, marketed as Jobber AI, that assists with pricing jobs, flagging up-sell opportunities, drafting quotes and line items, generating review replies and email campaigns, plus an AI-powered Receptionist that answers calls, chats with website visitors and books work.
Jobber serves more than 50 field service industries, including cleaning, construction and contracting, electrical, HVAC, handyman, landscaping, lawn care, painting, plumbing, pressure washing, roofing and tree care. Alongside the software, the company runs customer education and community programs such as Jobber Academy, the Masters of Home Service podcast, free business tools and calculators, live monthly events, and a $150,000 Jobber Grants program for home service professionals.
Founding story
Sam Pillar launched Jobber in 2011 with co-founder Forrest Zeisler. Working as a freelance software developer, Pillar observed that home service business owners were relying on pen and paper or a patchwork of inefficient tools, leading the pair to conclude that these businesses shared common problems a single, easy-to-use product could address. Pillar serves as CEO and Zeisler as CTO.
Business model
Jobber sells subscription software to service businesses on tiered plans (Core, Connect, Grow and Plus), priced per month by feature set and number of included users, with additional users at $29 per month each. Plans are offered monthly, on a one-year commitment, or billed annually at a discount, and a free trial requires no credit card. Certain capabilities, such as Reviews, Campaigns and Referrals, are sold as add-ons or bundled in a Marketing Suite. The company also processes card payments for customers through Jobber Payments.
Recurring subscription fees per plan and per additional user, supplemented by paid add-on modules and payment processing through Jobber Payments.
