Cost
What a crew pays on Jobber vs 4Home Pros
Jobber prices by plan and by user: $29 a month for each user past the plan's count[1]. 4Home Pros Pro is one price for any team size. Try your own numbers in the cost calculator.
| Team | Jobber (cheapest plan that fits) | 4Home Pros | You keep (monthly billing) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | Core: $49/mo monthly · $29/mo yearly | Free (up to 50 job sites), or Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly | $168 a year |
| 4 people | Connect: $199/mo monthly · $149/mo yearly | Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly | $1,968 a year |
| 4 people, stops put in order | Connect: $199/mo monthly · $149/mo yearly | Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly | $1,968 a year |
| 8 people, stops put in order | Connect: $286/mo monthly · $229/mo yearly | Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly | $3,012 a year |
Jobber's yearly price is the renewal price; new customers can get a first-year discount[1]. Jobber's Core plan is for one user only. "Stops put in order" means Jobber Connect or higher, the plans with route optimization[2].
Billing
What happens when you finish a visit
Jobber: on a recurring job billed per visit, marking the visit complete creates an invoice reminder, and Jobber prompts you to invoice. Invoices are created by themselves only when automatic payments are on, on select plans, with a card stored for that client[3].
4Home Pros: tap Done and the visit is billed. The charge lands on the customer's balance right away, per visit or once a month, depending on how that site is billed. When you're ready, send invoices to one customer or a whole batch by text or email.
Neither way is wrong. Jobber's suits quote-and-invoice work. Ours suits a route where the same houses pay every week.
AI
Both work inside ChatGPT and Claude
Jobber launched its connector on September 25, 2026. It reads clients, properties, jobs, quotes, invoices, requests and visits, and can create or update clients, properties and requests[4].
4Home Pros has 32 actions. Besides reading, it logs visits as Done or Skipped (which bills them), records payments and expenses, adds charges, builds a month-by-month money report and drafts payment reminders in each customer's language. It works in Claude, ChatGPT and other apps that support MCP. It's free for up to 15 customers. How to connect it.
