Why Contractors Switch from Jobber to PocketBoss

The Price Difference is Just the Beginning

Yes, you'll save hundreds or thousands per year switching from Jobber's $49-$129/month plans to PocketBoss at $19.99/month. But the real value comes from time saved and simplicity gained.

Designed for Contractors, Not Enterprises

Jobber tries to be everything to everyone. They pack in features for large companies with multiple crews, dispatchers, and office staff. If you're a small to medium contractor, you're paying for complexity you don't need.

PocketBoss was built specifically for contractors who want to spend less time on paperwork and more time on the job. Every feature, every screen, every workflow is optimized for simplicity and speed.

Adapt to Your Workflow, Not the Other Way Around

Jobber forces you into their rigid system. You have to change how you work to fit their software. PocketBoss adapts to you. Whether you prefer detailed estimates or quick quotes, complex scheduling or simple calendars, we work with your process.

No Training Required

How many hours have you spent learning Jobber? How many features do you still not understand? With PocketBoss, if you can use a smartphone, you can use our software. Most contractors are creating their first invoice within 5 minutes of signing up.

Payment Flexibility Your Customers Want

While Jobber limits your payment options, PocketBoss lets you accept payments however your customers prefer. Venmo for younger clients, checks for traditional businesses, Zelle for quick transfers, Cash App for convenience. Track it all in one place.

Real Mobile Experience

Jobber's mobile app is their desktop software crammed onto a phone. PocketBoss was designed mobile-first. Every feature works perfectly on your phone because we know you're not sitting at a desk all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PocketBoss so much cheaper than Jobber?

We focus on what contractors actually need, not enterprise features that inflate costs. No sales team, no bloated marketing budget, no unnecessary complexity. We pass those savings to you.

Can I import my data from Jobber?

While we don't have automatic import yet, you can easily add your active clients and start fresh. Most contractors find this is a good opportunity to clean up their data anyway. Export from Jobber, keep it for records, start clean with PocketBoss.

What if I need features that Jobber has but PocketBoss doesn't?

Ask yourself: do you actually use those features? Most contractors use maybe 20% of Jobber's features. PocketBoss focuses on that crucial 20% and does it better. If you truly need enterprise features, you might need enterprise software. But most don't.

Is PocketBoss reliable? What about support?

PocketBoss was built by someone who understands contractors because their friends are contractors. We provide email support and actually respond quickly. Our servers are reliable, your data is backed up, and we're constantly improving based on user feedback.

Can I try PocketBoss while still using Jobber?

Absolutely. Many contractors run both during their trial period. Use PocketBoss for new jobs while finishing up existing work in Jobber. Once you see how much simpler PocketBoss is, the switch becomes obvious.

What's the catch? Why only $19.99/month?

No catch. $19.99/month for everything. No per-user fees, no add-on costs, no surprise charges. We believe contractor software should be affordable. You work hard for your money; we don't think software companies should take so much of it.
