FAQ

Common questions about switching from Jobber.

Is CrewBooks really a good alternative to Jobber?
Yes. CrewBooks covers the core features solo pros actually use — customer management, invoicing, scheduling, quotes, and calendar — for $12/month instead of Jobber's $29-249/month. If you're a solo operator or small crew, you likely don't need Jobber's enterprise features.
What features does Jobber have that CrewBooks doesn't?
Jobber offers advanced features like GPS fleet tracking, automated marketing, client hub portals, and team management tools designed for larger operations. If you have 10+ employees and need enterprise dispatching, Jobber may be the better fit. But if you're a solo pro or small crew, these features add cost without adding value.
How much can I save switching from Jobber to CrewBooks?
Depending on your Jobber plan, you can save $204 to $2,844 per year. Jobber Core is $29/mo ($348/yr), Connect is $129/mo ($1,548/yr), and Grow is $249/mo ($2,988/yr). CrewBooks Pro is $12/mo ($144/yr) or $99/yr with annual billing.
Can I migrate my data from Jobber to CrewBooks?
CrewBooks currently supports manual customer entry (most pros have their customers entered within an hour). CSV import is coming soon. Your invoicing history stays in Jobber — CrewBooks gives you a fresh start with lower costs going forward.
Does CrewBooks have a free plan?
Yes. CrewBooks offers a permanent free plan with 10 customers, 20 invoices/month, cloud sync, and full scheduling. It's not a trial — it never expires. Jobber only offers a 14-day free trial.
Does CrewBooks lock me into an annual contract?
No. CrewBooks is month-to-month with no contracts. Cancel anytime in two clicks. Jobber offers discounts for annual billing but that means you're locked in for 12 months.
