Jobber bills your credit card fixed monthly subscriptions and does not include a website. See your exact annual savings with Let’s Get Quoted.
Jobber includes a basic website builder. Check this if you pay for a separate custom WordPress, Squarespace, or agency-hosted website.
* Compares fixed monthly subscription and user seat license fees. Competitor pricing based on published list prices (billed annually) and third-party website hosting fees as of 2026. Let’s Get Quoted Flex charges $0/month base with 2 office seats and 2 crew users included ($5/month per additional crew seat). A 1.25% platform fee applies to customer payments processed through Let’s Get Quoted (or 0.50% on Solo, 0.25% on Growth, 0.10% on Scale).
Most contractors pay for 4 to 6 separate subscriptions because legacy platforms don’t include a website, AI intake, or review routing. Here is what you actually pay:
Multiple logins, duplicate data entry, and broken sync
Direct workflows from website visit to Stripe bank payout
Every trade has unique scoping, emergency dispatch, and quote structures. Explore how LGQ outperforms Legacy Software in your sector:
