THE JOBBER ALTERNATIVE
FOR PEST CONTROL OPERATORS
Route-based pest control needs two-way SMS for arrival windows, which Jobber gates to its $139/mo Connect tier. ToolbagCRM includes it, plus unlimited techs, flat.
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 PEST CONTROL OPERATORS
ACTUALLY NEED.
Chemical Application Log
EPA reg #, application rate, target pest, weather conditions — all captured per visit, exportable for state audits.
Recurring Service Plans
Quarterly perimeter, monthly interior, seasonal mosquito treatments — each on its own cadence, all on one customer record.
Route-Day Scheduling
Build the Tuesday route once. Drag-to-reorder. Tech sees the whole day's stops on the truck before they roll out.
Auto Pre-Visit Notices
24-hour SMS/email notices fire automatically. Customer confirms. The visit goes on the schedule. No more 'did you already come?'
Per-Property Service History
Last treatment date, last chemical used, target pests, any callbacks — your tech walks in knowing.
Branded Customer Portal
Service history, upcoming visits, invoices, treatment records — all on YOUR domain, not ours.
ONE FLAT PRICE.
NO TIERS TO CLIMB.

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 pest control CRM software cost?
One flat price with every technician included. Founders pricing is $99/month for three months, then $150/month locked for life, with no per-seat charge.
Can I log chemical applications for compliance?
Yes. Chemical application logs and state-compliant reporting are built in, so the paperwork is ready when you need it.
