Why teams choose ToolBerry over Jobber
Free, no card
ToolBerry is free. No trial clock, no seat limits, no card at signup. Jobber has no free tier, so the meter starts once your trial ends. If you are watching every dollar this season, that difference is real.
True offline, the phone is the database
Basements, new construction, rural routes, parking garages. ToolBerry keeps working because your data lives on the phone itself, not in a cache waiting for signal. Jobber's app can hold some data offline, but it is built to sync with the cloud. With us, dead signal does not stop the job.
Start in seconds, private by design
Download and go. No account, no setup wizard, no sales call. Because there is no account and no server copy of your data, your job info stays on your device. Look at the App Store privacy labels: ToolBerry's says "Data Not Collected," while Jobber's lists the data it collects (July 2026).
Where Jobber is strong
Credit where it is due. Jobber is a strong product for teams that want the office and the field in one paid system. Its built-in payments let you charge cards and take deposits right inside the app. Its automated "on my way" texts keep customers in the loop without anyone typing. And its mobile app is genuinely polished, sitting around 4.8 stars on the App Store (July 2026). If you want integrated payments and marketing tools bundled in, Jobber does that well.
Pricing, plainly
Jobber
Jobber is subscription software. It advertises plans starting around $29/month (as of July 2026), but the headline price is the entry point. QuickBooks Online sync requires the Connect plan or higher, published around $119/month for an individual (July 2026). Add-ons like marketing tools cost extra, and card payments carry processing fees.
Prices can change, so check their site for the current numbers.
Switching from Jobber to ToolBerry
Switching is the easy kind. Download ToolBerry and run your next few jobs in it while Jobber keeps running, so there is zero risk. Add your customers and jobs as you go and you are set up in an afternoon, not a migration project. Your data lives on your phone and you can export it anytime, so you are never locked in.
