THE JOBBER ALTERNATIVE
FOR HANDYMAN OPERATIONS
A handyman taking on their first help shouldn't have to jump to Jobber's $139/mo Connect tier for the basics. ToolbagCRM keeps every feature 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

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 handyman CRM software cost?
Flat pricing with unlimited users. It's $99/month for three months, then $150/month for life on founders pricing, so taking on help doesn't raise your bill.
Does it do pricebooks and quick invoicing?
Yes. Pricebooks, job photos, and fast invoicing with Stripe payments are built in for the operator who's ready to grow.
