The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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; Redlist no pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Redlist

  • No pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
  • Cost scales with licensed users, which is awkward for operations with large numbers of technicians who each need only to record a completed lubrication route.
  • Outside lubrication the CMMS is ordinary, so organisations without a lubrication-driven failure problem pay a specialist price for general functionality.
  • The customer base and support presence are North American, which affects response times, lubricant catalogue coverage and reference availability elsewhere.
  • The integration list is short compared with established CMMS platforms, so connecting to an ERP or a plant historian is likely to need custom API work.

Source

Yes. Jobber offers a 14 day free trial with full access to Grow plan features and states that no credit card is required to start it.

Source
Redlist: Does it publish prices?

Yes, the mobile app captures work offline and syncs later, which is the normal case in mining and oilfield sites.
