◆QuotingAI vs Jobber
Jobber Runs The Whole Job. QuotingAI Only Does The Quote.
Jobber is field service software out of Edmonton — quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and payments in one subscription, priced by the size of your team and billed in US dollars. QuotingAI does one step of that, in Canadian dollars, at a flat rate per plan.

The Short Answer
If your problem is that jobs, schedules and invoices are falling through the cracks, Jobber solves more of that in one subscription than any quoting tool can, and it is a Canadian company with fifteen years behind it. If your problem is the quote itself — getting a priced, itemized, signed one in front of a customer the same day — you would be buying an operating system to fix one step, in US dollars, at a price that steps up with your headcount: Grow prepaid annually runs $149/mo USD solo, $229 at three people and $299 at eight. QuotingAI charges one flat Canadian rate per plan, includes the seats up to the plan cap, and stops at the signed deposit.
Jobber is a field service management suite (getjobber.com). QuotingAI does one job end to end: describe a job, get a priced itemized quote, send a branded proposal, collect an e-signature and a deposit.
Published Pricing
What Jobber Actually Costs
Every figure below is quoted from a page we read on July 25, 2026. Where Jobber does not publish a number, this table says so instead of guessing.
Read this first: Jobber publishes in US dollars, full stop. The footnote on their pricing page reads “All prices in USD”, their help centre says “Pricing plans are listed in USD”, and the /ca/ pricing path is a 301 redirect to the ordinary one — no Canadian rate card, no currency selector. The prices below are list rates — monthly, no commitment. A new-customer promotion was running when we read the page, expiring July 31, 2026 at 11:59pm PT; promo rates are not list rates and are not shown here. The other thing to know: their pricing page has a “Built for your team size” control, and it changes both the price and the included user count. Core is offered only at “Just me”, and Plus isn't offered there at all. The figures in this table are the smallest team size each tier exists at — see the seat table below for what happens as you add people.
| Jobber plan | Price | Billing basis | Users included | Each extra user |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $49/mo[1]USD. Ongoing rate falls to $39/mo on a one-year commitment, or $29/mo prepaid annually. Core is solo-only — it disappears from the lineup the moment you say you have two people | Per month, no commitment (USD), at the “Just me” team size | Not a per-tier number. Jobber sets included seats by the team-size bucket you pick, identically on every tier — and Core is only offered at “Just me”, where the included count is 1 user[2] | $29/mo[1]Per additional user, USD — published on every tier, but never reconciled against the team-size pricing |
| Connect | $139/mo[1]USD at “Just me”. Ongoing rate falls to $119/mo on a one-year commitment, or $99/mo prepaid annually. The base rises with team size — $199, $299 and $399/mo at 2-5, 6-10 and 11-15 people | Per month, no commitment (USD), at the “Just me” team size | Not a per-tier number. Included seats come from the team-size bucket you select — 1 at “Just me”, 5 at 2-5 people, 10 at 6-10, 15 at 11-15, Contact Sales at 16+ — and every tier at that bucket includes the same count[2] | $29/mo[1]Per additional user, USD — published on every tier, but never reconciled against the team-size pricing |
| Grow | $199/mo[1]USD at “Just me”. Ongoing rate falls to $169/mo on a one-year commitment, or $149/mo prepaid annually. The base rises with team size — $299, $399 and $499/mo at 2-5, 6-10 and 11-15 people | Per month, no commitment (USD), at the “Just me” team size | Not a per-tier number. Included seats come from the team-size bucket you select — 1 at “Just me”, 5 at 2-5 people, 10 at 6-10, 15 at 11-15, Contact Sales at 16+ — and every tier at that bucket includes the same count[2] | $29/mo[1]Per additional user, USD — published on every tier, but never reconciled against the team-size pricing |
| Plus | $499/mo[1]USD at 2-5 people, the smallest team size Plus is offered at. Ongoing rate falls to $439/mo on a one-year commitment, or $399/mo prepaid annually. The base rises to $599 and $699/mo at 6-10 and 11-15 people | Per month, no commitment (USD), at the 2-5 people team size | Not a per-tier number. Included seats come from the team-size bucket you select, and Plus doesn't appear at “Just me” at all — it starts at 2-5 people, which includes 5 users, then 10 at 6-10 and 15 at 11-15[2] | $29/mo[1]Per additional user, USD — published on every tier, but never reconciled against the team-size pricing |
Seat model
A tiered base plan whose price and included seats both step up with the team size you select — 1, 5, 10 or 15 users, the same count on every tier.
Free trial
14 days[1]Full access on the Grow plan, no credit card required — so a trialler who buys Core lands on less than they tested
Setup / onboarding fee
No mandatory setup fee published. Plus lists white-glove onboarding and data import as included “value”, which is a marketing figure, not a charge[1]

The Arithmetic
What Happens When You Hire
Jobber priced at three crew sizes, using only figures Jobber publishes — against QuotingAI Crew at $132/mo flat.
| Estimators | Jobber — Grow, prepaid annually | How that's worked out | QuotingAI Crew |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $149/moon Grow | Grow at the “Just me” team size, prepaid annually: $149/mo USD, 1 user included. We price Grow across all three rows because it's the cheapest tier that exists at every headcount — Core is $29/mo prepaid annually and genuinely cheap, but it's solo-only and vanishes the moment you tell Jobber you have two people. | $132/mo |
| 3 | $229/moon Grow | Three estimators lands in Jobber's 2-5 people bucket, which includes 5 users. Grow prepaid annually is $229/mo USD there — a $80/mo step up from solo, with no per-seat charges added. The seats come with the bucket. | $132/mo |
| 8 | $299/moon Grow | Eight estimators lands in the 6-10 people bucket, which includes 10 users, so nobody is billed as an extra seat. Grow prepaid annually is $299/mo USD — $150/mo more than the same plan solo. Note who counts as a user: Jobber's definition is “anyone who accesses your account at the office or in the field to view or manage the team's schedule”, so field crew who log in take up included seats too, and a crew of eight estimators plus labourers can push you into the next bucket. | $132/mo |
Where this comparison is and isn't fair: Read the two columns as what they are. Jobber's are USD annual-prepaid list rates at the team-size bucket that covers that headcount; ours are flat CAD. We have applied no exchange rate and no card-issuer FX fee — do that yourself before calling either one cheaper. And Jobber's subscription buys scheduling, dispatch, routing and invoicing that QuotingAI does not do, so the smaller line item is not automatically the better buy. One thing Jobber never reconciles, so neither will we: the same pages that publish this bucket pricing also say “Add users for $29/mo each” on every tier, without ever stating when that charge applies. Stepping from 1 included user to 5 on Connect annual costs $50/mo, which is about $12.50 a seat — so the $29 cannot simply be the bucket mechanism. We're not going to guess which seats it covers. QuotingAI's side is simpler to state: every user up to the plan cap is included at no extra cost — one on Solo, five on Crew, fifteen on Shop.
Feature By Feature
QuotingAI vs Jobber, Row By Row
Where we couldn't confirm a Jobbercapability from their own documentation, the row says “Not publicly listed” rather than scoring it against them.
| Capability | QuotingAI | Jobber |
|---|---|---|
| AI drafts the quote for youJobber's auto-drafted quotes turn an incoming job request into a draft using your templates and past quotes, on Connect, Grow and Plus — not Core. The difference is the input: QuotingAI starts from you describing the job in plain language, which is what you have standing in someone's driveway. | Yes | Yes[14] |
| Prebuilt regional cost databaseQuotingAI prices from the pricebook you build, at the rates you actually buy at. Jobber's published pages don't describe a prebuilt cost database either way, so we're not going to grade them on it. | No | Not publicly listed |
| Itemized line-item quotingQuote design, markups and optional line items are all named features. Customers can pick add-ons directly in the quote. | Yes | Yes[9] |
| Branded proposal documentJobber calls it a quote, not a proposal — a professional templated document showing the work with photos of your products or the site visit. | Yes | Yes[9] |
| Client e-signature on the quoteJobber's own Quote Approvals article says clients can “view their quotes online and approve them with a signature”, and that on approval “the client will be prompted to sign the quote”. Both products land in the same place. Two details worth knowing about theirs: “Approve and Pay Deposit” is a single client action, and the client hub link expires after 24 hours, after which the client re-authenticates with the last four digits of their phone number. | Yes | Yes[19] |
| Client pays a deposit onlineJobber collects a deposit on quote approval as either a percentage of the quote total or a fixed dollar amount, and can chain it into a progress-invoicing payment schedule; the deposit stays attached to the job and is applied to the invoice. QuotingAI takes the deposit through Stripe at the moment of signature and stops there. | Yes | Yes[18] |
| Full invoicingJobber generates invoices, sends them in batches and chases them automatically, and syncs to QuickBooks Online. QuotingAI stops at the signed deposit on purpose — invoicing and books stay where your accountant already looks. | No | Yes[11] |
| Scheduling and dispatchJob scheduling, calendar management, map and routing, GPS tracking, on-my-way texts and time tracking. This is a whole product QuotingAI doesn't attempt. | No | Yes[8] |
| Native mobile appJobber ships iOS and Android apps, and the mobile app is available in Spanish for field team members. QuotingAI installs to your phone's home screen as a PWA and works offline; it is not an app-store download. | Yes | Yes[6] |
| GST / PST / HST on the quoteJobber does Canadian tax, but you set it up by hand. Their Tax Settings article describes creating your own tax names and rates, combining several into a tax group where a job needs more than one, and entering a Tax ID name such as GST plus its number to print on invoices. Grouped rates display broken out to the client, which is what CRA-compliant invoicing needs. What isn't there: any province-aware automation or rate maintenance — the article special-cases Australia and not Canada, and it notes that Jobber doesn't sync tax names and rates into QuickBooks. QuotingAI applies your province's GST, PST or HST for you. | Yes | Yes[17] |
| Prices and bills you in Canadian dollarsJobber's help centre states plainly: “Pricing plans are listed in USD.” There is no CAD rate card, no currency selector and no geo-redirect — the /ca/ pricing path is a 301 to the ordinary one. Canadian buyers pay the USD price plus provincial SaaS tax where it applies, and carry the FX spread on their card. Don't confuse this with the other currency question: Jobber's payment integrations accept USD, CAD and AUD, so you can absolutely invoice your own customers in Canadian dollars. You invoice in CAD; you pay Jobber in USD. | Yes | No[15] |
Straight Talk
Who Should Actually Pick Which
Pick Jobber If…
They're Canadian, and they're from Edmonton
Jobber was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Edmonton and Toronto. We're in Edmonton too, and we're not going to pretend that isn't a real point in their favour — a local buyer gets a Canadian vendor, Canadian support hours and a company that has been doing this for fifteen years. They claim over 400,000 people using Jobber across 60+ countries and more than $100B invoiced through it. If low perceived risk is what you're buying, that is a strong answer.
Your problem is the whole job, not the quote
Jobber's published feature set runs quote, schedule, dispatch, route, time-track, invoice, collect payment, job costing, QuickBooks Online sync. If what actually hurts is losing track of jobs and invoices, one Jobber subscription covers more of that than a quoting tool ever will. Buying two tools to cover the same ground is a worse answer than buying theirs.
You have people in the field
GPS tracking, map and routing, on-my-way texts, automatic time tracking, team push notifications, automated visit reminders, and a mobile app that runs in Spanish for crew. If you're dispatching people to addresses all day, this is the category of software you need and quoting software isn't it.
Your crew grows without your bill growing much
Because seats come with the team-size bucket rather than one at a time, going from three estimators to eight on Grow prepaid annually moves the bill from $229 to $299 a month USD — five more logins for seventy dollars. If you're staffing up, that scales more gently than most per-seat software, and it's a fair point in Jobber's favour.
You want payments in the same tool, at a cheap entry price
Jobber publishes its processing rates plainly: 2.9% + 30¢ on cards, 2.7% + 30¢ for tap to pay, 1% on bank payments, with instant payouts for an extra 1%. And Core is genuinely inexpensive for what it bundles — $29/mo USD prepaid annually as an ongoing rate. That is a solo-operator price and a solo-operator plan: Core is only offered at the “Just me” team size. But if that's you, it's hard to argue with.
Pick QuotingAI If…
You get billed in Canadian dollars, flat
Jobber's subscription is USD only — their help centre says so in as many words, and the Canadian pricing path just redirects to the American one. So an Edmonton contractor carries the exchange rate and their card issuer's FX fee on top of the sticker price. QuotingAI is $55, $132 or $244 a month in CAD depending on plan, and that's the number on your card. Tax on the quote is GST, PST or HST at your province's rate, on the line where it belongs.
Your province's tax is set up for you, not by you
Jobber can invoice Canadian tax correctly, but you build it: you type in each rate, and where a province charges GST plus PST you combine two rates into a tax group yourself. There's no province-aware automation and no rate maintenance — and their own docs note that tax names and rates don't sync into QuickBooks. QuotingAI knows what your province charges and puts it on the quote.
One flat rate, no team-size band to land in
Jobber's price steps up as you cross 1, 5, 10 and 15 people, and the step is invisible until you pick your headcount on their pricing page. QuotingAI includes users up to the plan cap at no extra charge — one on Solo, five on Crew, fifteen on Shop — and the number on your card is the number on the pricing page.
The quote is the product, not one module of twelve
Describe the job out loud — “two hundred feet of cedar fence, six foot, one gate, post holes through clay” — and get back an itemized quote priced from your own pricebook, on your letterhead, with a signature and a Stripe deposit on the same link. Every hour of our development goes into that one path.
You don't want an operating system to fix one step
QuotingAI is narrow by choice. It doesn't schedule, dispatch or invoice, because you already have a calendar and an accountant and neither of them is the reason jobs slip away. If the gap in your week is between the site visit and the signature, that gap is the whole product.
Questions
Switching From Jobber
Is Jobber cheaper than QuotingAI?+
It depends on your headcount, and both numbers are knowable. Jobber's price steps up with the team size you select on their pricing page — Grow prepaid annually is $149/mo USD for one person, $229 at two to five, $299 at six to ten, $399 at eleven to fifteen, and the seats come with the band rather than being billed one at a time. Connect is $99 / $149 / $229 / $299 across the same bands; Plus is $399 / $449 / $529 and isn't sold to solo operators at all; Core is $29 and is solo-only. QuotingAI is $55, $132 or $244 a month in CAD with users included up to the plan cap. Those are USD against CAD with no conversion applied — put them in one currency, with your card's FX fee, before you decide.
How many users does a Jobber plan include?+
That's set by the team size you pick, not by the plan. Choose “Just me” and every tier includes 1 user; 2-5 people includes 5; 6-10 includes 10; 11-15 includes 15; 16 or more sends you to Contact Sales. Core and Grow and Plus all include the same count at the same band — what changes between them is features, and the base price. Two quirks: Core is only sold at “Just me”, and Plus doesn't appear at “Just me”. Jobber also publishes “Add users for $29/mo each” on every tier but never says when that charge applies rather than the band price, so we won't guess at it.
Does Jobber have AI?+
Yes. Jobber announced auto-drafted quotes in September 2025 — a new job request instantly becomes a draft quote generated from your existing templates and past quotes, available on Connect, Grow and Plus, but not on Core. They also list AI automations, rewrite, a receptionist add-on, voice and recommendations. The difference isn't whether AI exists. It's the input: theirs starts from a job request that came through their system, ours starts from you describing the job in plain language on site.
Is Jobber a Canadian company?+
Yes, and a local one. Jobber was founded in 2011 and lists its headquarters as Edmonton, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario. QuotingAI is built in Edmonton too. The one Canadian thing they don't do is bill you in Canadian dollars — their help centre states “Pricing plans are listed in USD”, and the Canadian pricing path is a redirect to the American one. Their payment processing does support CAD, though, so you can still invoice your own customers in Canadian dollars. You invoice in CAD; you pay Jobber in USD.
Can Jobber take a signature and a deposit on a quote?+
Yes to both, and their own documentation says so. Jobber's Quote Approvals article describes clients viewing quotes online and approving them “with a signature”, and says the client “will be prompted to sign the quote”. Deposits are collected on approval as either a percentage of the quote total or a fixed dollar amount, and “Approve and Pay Deposit” is one client-facing action — the deposit then stays attached to the job and is applied to the invoice. One operational detail: their client hub link expires after 24 hours, after which the client re-authenticates with the last four digits of their phone number.
Does Jobber handle GST, PST and HST?+
Yes, with manual setup. You create your own tax names and rates, and where a province charges two taxes you combine them into a tax group, which then displays broken out to the client on the quote or invoice — exactly what Canadian invoicing needs. You can also enter a Tax ID name such as GST and its number to print on invoices. What Jobber doesn't do is know your province's rates for you or keep them current, and their documentation notes that tax names and rates don't sync into QuickBooks. QuotingAI applies your province's rate for you. Anyone telling you Jobber can't do Canadian tax is wrong.
How current are the prices on this page?+
Every Jobber figure here was read off their own pages on July 25, 2026, and each one links to the page it came from. These are list rates — the “then $X/mo” ongoing prices, not promotional ones. A new-customer promotion was running at the time and expires July 31, 2026 at 11:59pm PT, and we've deliberately kept those promo rates out of the table because Jobber runs rolling offers and the list price is the stable thing. Two more reasons to check for yourself: their pricing page changes with the team size you select, and Jobber's own site warns that plans, features and prices change over time. If you spot something stale, email hello@quotingai.ca and we'll correct it.
