The $29/mo you see advertised for Jobber is the Core plan billed annually — $49/mo month-to-month — and Core can't sync QuickBooks or send an automated customer reminder. The cheapest Jobber plan that can is Connect, at $139/mo. FSMsync Solo is $29/mo flat, month-to-month, with both included.
Jobber prices by plan and by seat, and the features most one-truck and small shops actually run on — QuickBooks sync and automated reminders — don't start until Connect. Here's the full grid, month-to-month and annual-billed side by side.
| Plan | Month-to-month | Billed annually | Users included | QuickBooks sync | Automated reminders | Online booking | Two-way texting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber Core | $49/mo | $29/mo | 1 (+$29/mo each) | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Jobber Connect | $139/mo | $99/mo | 5 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Jobber Grow | $199/mo | $149/mo | 10 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| FSMsync Solo | $29/mo | — (mtm only) | 1 | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
The widely advertised $29/mo for Jobber is Core billed annually; month-to-month Core is $49/mo, and either way Core has no QuickBooks sync and no automated reminders. Connect's five included seats are capacity a one-person shop pays for either way — and if you're a 2–4 person shop, the honest FSMsync comparison is Team at $69/mo flat vs Connect at $139/mo. Feature cells reflect the vendors' public pricing pages only. All prices verified July 17, 2026.
Two real things: customer self-serve online booking (Jobber includes it even on Core) and, if you're on Grow, the two-way texting inbox. FSMsync has neither. If either is a must-have today, Jobber earns its price — that's the honest version, and we'd rather you know before you switch than after.
Scheduling, estimates (with AI drafting), invoicing, card payments through your own Square account at Square's standard rates, QuickBooks Online sync, and automated customer reminders — the loop most shops actually live in, with nothing gated behind a higher tier. And to be clear about the competition: Jobber's scheduling has a genuinely good reputation. This page's argument is price-for-what-you-use, not that Jobber is bad software.
FSMsync Solo is $29/mo, month-to-month, every feature included. Against the Jobber plans that match what it does:
At $29 a month, the tool doesn't have to change your business to justify itself — it pays for itself if it saves you one hour a month, at any plausible hourly rate. And when you hire: Team is $69/mo flat for 2–4 users, so techs two through four cost $0 extra.
Export your customers from Jobber to CSV, and FSMsync's import wizard maps the columns and brings them in — names, contacts, addresses, the lot. There's no one-click Jobber converter, and we won't pretend otherwise: it's CSV-based, and it works.
Unpaid balances import as clearly-marked imported invoices — they're there to get collected, and they stay out of your revenue reporting so your numbers start clean.
Send us the exports and we'll do the migration together — you get a working account back, not a to-do list. It's a small company; you'll be talking to the person who built the importer.
We'd rather be the page that told you the truth than the page that hid the competition. If FSMsync isn't the fit, these are the honest options:
The honest budget runner-up. Start includes QuickBooks Online sync and automated email/text reminders, and the 5-user allowance is real room to grow. No free plan exists despite what older listicles claim — Start at $60/mo is the floor.
Choose Kickserv if you expect to add helpers soon and want budget headroom for five seats.
Polished and feature-deep, but its cheapest QuickBooks-syncing plan is Essentials at $189/mo month-to-month — team economics, not a Jobber-price escape.
Choose Housecall Pro if you're building toward a multi-tech office and the depth earns its price.
Workiz doesn't publish base prices, so no dollar comparison is possible — read the terms instead. Their own terms and conditions provide for annual billing as the marketed default, no plan downgrades on annual billing, fees that are non-cancelable and non-refundable, and price increases of up to 10% per year. A contract you can't shrink is its own price.
Choose Workiz if its vertical-specific features fit your trade and you're comfortable committing for the year.
