Sources: TradeCommands list price. Jobber month-to-month prices from getjobber.com/pricing (August 2026): Core $49 (1 user); Connect $139 (1 user), $199 (5), $299 (10); Grow $199 (1 user), $299 (5), $399 (10). Intro teasers ($35 / $98 / $140) last three months, then the monthly rate. Annual prepaid is cheaper on their side and locks the year. TradeCommands extra seats are $15 after the included users on each plan.

Not cheaper software. A cheaper way to run the same work.

Fast

Create a client, send a quote, drop a job on the schedule, and invoice the same day. No six-week onboarding tax. Most shops are running work the afternoon they sign up.

Easy

One loop: quote → schedule → invoice → collect. The office and the truck look at the same record. Starter is one seat. Growth is five. No mystery bundles.

Mobile-friendly

Technicians open today’s jobs on a phone, clock in on the job, leave notes, start and complete work, and navigate to the property. The field view is built in — not a separate app you pay extra to unlock.

You keep the money — twice

They pay a deposit to book, then the rest on the driveway, into your Stripe. We do not sit in the middle of either charge.

Month-to-month, for real

Jobber’s cheapest advertised numbers are usually annual prepaid. TradeCommands Starter is $29 every month, cancel anytime. Stay because the board works — not because you prepaid the year.

Price you can explain

Starter $29 for 1 user. Growth $99 for 5. Pro $199 for 10. Extra seats $15. Jobber Connect is $139 month-to-month for one person. Grow is $199 for one person.

The house remembers

Make, model, serial, warranty, and “we were just here” sit on the job and the field phone. ServiceTitan shops live on this. Jobber buries it.

Field documentation

Photos, notes, checklists, and markup live on the job — for insurance, the next tech, and the invoice. Not a camera roll. Not a CompanyCam subscription on the side.

While we’re here

Found work is a photo and a tap on the customer tracker — not a second quote. Punch lists live on the job. Jobber’s community has asked for both for years.

Social Boost — they don’t have this

Finish the job and post a branded before/after to Instagram and Google Business Profile. Jobber does not turn the driveway into a post. This is the extra shops talk about after the demo.

Same prices on the truck

Tap a shop rate onto a quote. Cost sits next to price so you see what you keep — the driveway does not invent a number.

We will not pretend we are Jobber

Are you cheaper than Jobber at every plan?

On month-to-month, it is not “about half” — it is a fraction. Core is $49 vs our $29. Connect is $139 for one user vs our $29. Grow is $199 for one user vs $29, or $399 for ten vs our $199 for ten. Extra seats $15 vs $29. Their $35 / $98 / $140 numbers are a three-month intro.

Where do these Jobber numbers come from?

Jobber’s public pricing page (getjobber.com/pricing), month-to-month / no-commitment rates, August 2026: Core $49 (1 user); Connect $139 (1 user), $199 (5), $299 (10); Grow $199 (1 user), $299 (5), $399 (10). Intro teasers ($35 / $98 / $140) last three months, then the monthly rate. Annual prepaid is cheaper and locks the year. We compare cancel-anytime to cancel-anytime because that is how TradeCommands bills.

Do you have every Jobber feature?

No. We do not claim GPS tracking, marketing suites, or an AI receptionist. We claim the loop that makes a trade company money — including the gaps Jobber’s own community still asks for: change orders from the truck, a punch list that lives on the job, and Social Boost, which Jobber does not ship. If you need Jobber’s extras, stay on Jobber.

Does Social Boost use AI to fake the work?

No. The graphic is your before and after photos with your shop name on the card. You paste it into Instagram, Facebook, or Google Business Profile. Optional OpenAI (your key) only writes the caption.

Do you have Jobber Sites?

No. TradeCommands gives you a public book-a-visit page. A full website is built by our sister company, 360 Nerds — dirt cheap if you already run TradeCommands. Go to 360nerds.com and tell them you are a TradeCommands shop.
