BEFORE WE GET INTO IT —
HONEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
TOOLBAGCRM
IS BETTER IF…
- 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
JOBBER
IS BETTER IF…
- You need a polished, App-Store-rated iOS / Android app today
- QuickBooks Online sync is non-negotiable right now (we're building it)
- You want a product with 13+ years in market and a deep support team
WHAT JOBBER
ACTUALLY COSTS.
The sticker price isn’t the price. By the time you’ve added the seats, the SMS, and the AI add-ons, you’re paying for tiers you didn’t want to climb.

QUESTIONS?
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
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.
