THE JOBBER ALTERNATIVE
FOR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
Add an apprentice on Jobber and you add $29 a month before they wire a single outlet. ToolbagCRM keeps every electrician on one flat price.
WHERE JOBBER
COSTS YOU.
You have more than 5 users and don't want $29/mo per extra seat
You need two-way SMS and automatic time tracking without jumping to the $139/mo Connect tier
You'd rather pay per AI call than +$99/mo flat for the receptionist
You want your customers to see YOUR brand, not Jobber's
You'd rather lock $99/$150 forever than ride annual price increases
WHAT ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
ACTUALLY NEED.
Panel & Circuit Records
Per-property panel rating, breaker layout, and circuit history. Your tech walks in already knowing the box.
Permit & Inspection Log
Permit numbers, inspector contact, scheduled inspection dates, and pass/fail status — all on the job record.
Tiered Quote Packages
Send Good / Better / Best in one quote. Customer picks their tier, deposit auto-charges, work order spins up.
Code-Compliance Checklist
Per-job checklist your tech can sign off in the field. Stays attached to the customer's record for audits.
Invoicing & Payments
Cards, ACH, financing on bigger panel upgrades — Stripe-powered, and Founders adds 0% platform fee on top of standard processing.
Time Tracking & Payroll
Clock-in with geofence. Hours per circuit, per job. Payroll-ready exports. No per-user fee.
ONE FLAT PRICE.
NO TIERS TO CLIMB.
Free plan: core CRM; 3% + $0.30 processing plus a 2% platform fee (5% + $0.30 total). Founders: $99/mo for 3 months then $150/mo locked for life, no additional platform fee, every plug-in in. AI pay-per-use, not per-month.
Online booking, quotes, invoicing, payments, website, reporting.

SWITCHING FROM JOBBER?
Is ToolbagCRM cheaper than Jobber?
For most shops, yes. ToolbagCRM is one flat price with unlimited users, while Jobber charges per user and gates features by tier. The more people you add, the wider the gap gets.
What does Jobber charge extra for that ToolbagCRM includes?
Two-way SMS sits on Jobber's $139 Connect tier, the AI Receptionist is an added monthly cost, and every extra user is a per-seat fee. On ToolbagCRM's Founders plan, texting and every user are included with no per-seat fees.
Can I switch from Jobber to ToolbagCRM?
That's who it's built for. ToolbagCRM is pre-launch, so the move starts by joining the waitlist and locking founders pricing.
Does ToolbagCRM do everything Jobber does?
It covers the core job: scheduling, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, and payments. A few Jobber extras are on the roadmap, and the comparison above lays out the honest side-by-side.
Is ToolbagCRM a good Jobber alternative for small crews?
Yes, especially if per-user pricing is what stings. Flat pricing favors shops that are adding people rather than standing still.
How much does electrician CRM software cost?
One flat price, every electrician included. It's $99/month for the first three months on founders pricing, then $150/month locked for life. Hiring an apprentice doesn't change the bill on your plan.
Can I keep panel records and permit notes?
Yes. Panel details, permit tracking, and code-compliance notes live on the customer record, so the next job picks up where the last one left off.
