Comparison
Looking for a Jobber alternative?
Jobber is the biggest name in home-service software and it earned that. It is also priced per user, with the automation most shops actually want sitting two tiers up. For a small crew that wants the whole product, the arithmetic is very different.

When Jobber is the better choice.
No product is right for everyone, and a comparison page that pretends otherwise is worth nothing. If any of these matter to you, buy theirs.
- An app marketplace with over a hundred integrations. ManePilot has a handful.
- A marketing suite, a client hub and a built-in website builder, sold as add-ons.
- Scale and track record across every home-service trade, with the support and training that comes with it.
- If you need deep QuickBooks workflows or a large office team, Jobber is the more proven choice.
Questions
Asked by people making this switch.
Is ManePilot cheaper than Jobber?
For a crew, substantially. Jobber's plans are priced per user, and automated reminders and follow-ups start on the $139/mo Connect plan. ManePilot is $79/mo for up to ten people with every feature included. For a single user who only needs scheduling and invoicing, Jobber's $49/mo Core plan is directly comparable to ManePilot's $49/mo Solo.
Why would I pick ManePilot over Jobber?
Because you want the whole product without working out which tier hides the part you need, and because ManePilot is built around a customer, a vehicle and a standard of finish rather than a generic job. If you need a large integration ecosystem or a big office team, Jobber is the better fit and we would rather say so.
Does ManePilot work for trades other than detailing?
Yes. It covers seventeen service industries, from detailing and ceramic coating through lawn and landscape, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and handyman work. The workflow started with appearance work and the same structure holds for the trades.
