The short version

  • Each has a real cost: BigChange simpro Group bought BigChange in October 2024 and also owns Simpro, AroFlo and ClockShark, so a UK buyer comparing BigChange with Simpro is choosing between two products whose roadmaps are set by the same owner.; Jobber core and Connect include a single user, so a two person crew needs the $199 Grow plan or a $29 per month extra seat

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BigChange

  • Simpro Group bought BigChange in October 2024 and also owns Simpro, AroFlo and ClockShark, so a UK buyer comparing BigChange with Simpro is choosing between two products whose roadmaps are set by the same owner.
  • The telematics is bundled rather than optional, so businesses that do not run a van fleet, or that are locked into an existing tracking contract, pay for capability they cannot use or duplicate.
  • Nothing is priced publicly and the vehicle hardware brings an equipment element into the contract, so total cost depends on van count as well as user count and cannot be estimated before a sales call.
  • Contracts have historically been multi-year with hardware attached, which makes leaving mid-term expensive and reduces your leverage at renewal.
  • The product is built around UK operating practice, accounting packages and compliance documents, so it is a weak fit for North America and needs configuration work in mainland Europe.

Jobber

  • Core and Connect include a single user, so a two person crew needs the $199 Grow plan or a $29 per month extra seat
  • The advertised entry price of $21 per month requires annual prepayment; paying monthly costs $49
  • Extra seats cost $29 per month on every plan, including the tiers that already bundle 5 or 15 users
