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; Tradify pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.

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

Tradify

  • Pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
  • The advertised per-user price excludes SMS, which is charged per message, the Instant Website add-on at roughly ten pounds a month, and Stripe card processing fees, so a Pro seat sending two hundred texts a month can cost close to double the sticker price.
  • There is no free tier and no permanently free single-user plan, so a sole trader testing the water is paying from the end of the trial.
  • Inventory and stock control are minimal: it can bundle kits and raise purchase orders but will not track stock levels on vans or in a store, which rules it out for firms carrying real parts inventory.
  • It has no service agreement, recurring maintenance contract or flat-rate pricebook functionality, so HVAC and other maintenance-contract businesses outgrow it quickly and end up moving to FieldEdge or ServiceTitan.

Tradify: How much does Tradify actually cost per month?

Around 47 US dollars per user per month on Lite, 51 on Pro and 61 on Plus, or roughly 34, 37 and 44 pounds in the UK. Multiply by every user, then add SMS and any add-ons.

Jobber: How many users does Jobber include?

Core and Connect include one user, Grow includes five and Plus includes fifteen. Additional seats are $29 per month on any plan.

Source
Tradify: Does Tradify replace my accounting software?

No. It syncs invoices and contacts to Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB, and you still need one of them.

Jobber: Does Jobber have a free trial?

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
Tradify: Is there a setup or implementation fee?

No. Unlike the enterprise field service platforms there is no onboarding charge, and most firms configure it themselves.

Tradify: How big a team can it handle?

It is designed for roughly one to twenty users. Beyond that the flat per-user pricing and the lack of dispatch optimisation and service agreements start to hurt.
