Pipeline vs Jobber

Looking for a UK Jobber alternative?

Jobber is one of the biggest field service platforms in North America, and it is very good at what it does. Pipeline is built in the UK for UK trades, priced in pounds by team size, with the whole platform included rather than sold as a ladder of plans and add-ons.

Pipeline vs Jobber: the short version

If you are weighing up Pipeline vs Jobber, or searching for a Jobber alternative that is built for the UK, the honest summary is that Jobber is a bigger, older product with a deep feature set and a large app marketplace - and that its pricing is built for a different market. Jobber publishes its plans in US dollars, excluding sales tax, in bands by team size: as of September 2026 a single user starts at $49 a month on Core and runs to $199 on Grow, while a team of six to ten starts at $299 on Connect and reaches $599 on Plus. Capabilities such as the sales pipeline, the marketing suite and the AI receptionist are sold as separate monthly add-ons. Pipeline is £10, £30 or £50 a month by team size, in sterling, with lead management, communications, automations, the customer portal and reporting all included.

Where Pipeline pulls ahead

Why teams choose Pipeline over Jobber

Priced in pounds, by team size

Published plans in sterling at £10, £30 and £50 a month, so there is no currency conversion, no card fee on a dollar charge and no sales tax line to interpret.

No add-on ladder

Lead pipeline, automations, messaging and the customer portal are part of Pipeline. On Jobber the equivalent capabilities are spread across higher plans and separately priced monthly add-ons.

Built for UK trades specifically

The VAT domestic reverse charge and CIS deductions are part of how Pipeline handles money, and our free tools cover the same ground rather than treating the UK as an export market.

UK data, UK support, UK hours

Your data is hosted in the UK and support runs on UK time, so a problem on a Tuesday morning is answered on a Tuesday morning.

Being fair

When Jobber might be the better fit

Jobber is a strong choice if you operate in North America, want the deepest feature set and largest integration marketplace available, and are comfortable with dollar billing and per-band pricing.

A much larger ecosystem

Jobber lists an app marketplace of over a hundred integrations. If you depend on a specific North American tool, the connector probably already exists.

Depth built over many years

Jobber is a mature platform with a large customer base, extensive documentation and a well-developed community. That maturity is worth something.

Franchise and multi-location support

Jobber offers custom pricing and tooling for franchises and multi-location operators - a scale of business Pipeline does not specifically target.

What is Jobber?

Jobber is a field service management platform for home service and trade businesses, used widely across the United States and Canada. It covers quoting, scheduling, dispatch, job tracking, invoicing, online payments, client management and reporting, with a mobile app, an app marketplace of more than a hundred integrations and a substantial library of business resources for contractors. Plans are sold as Core, Connect, Grow and Plus, priced per band of team size in US dollars, with optional paid add-ons for marketing, lead pipeline and an AI receptionist.

What would Jobber cost as you grow?

Put in what you pay per user and see it against a Pipeline plan, which is priced by team size rather than by seat. Check their current pricing - we do not publish other people's prices here, because they change.

Excluding VAT, so the two sides match. Change it to the price on your own bill.
Some tools charge a base fee and then a price per seat. Leave at 0 if yours is purely per user.
Often 1 - the base fee covers the owner and everyone after that is charged.

Common questions

Pipeline vs Jobber FAQs

Does Jobber work in the UK?

Jobber can be used from the UK, but it is built around the North American market: its published pricing is in US dollars excluding sales tax, and its resources, integrations and support are oriented towards the United States and Canada. If you want software that assumes UK VAT, UK trading practices and UK working hours, that difference matters more than any single feature.

How much does Jobber cost for a team of five?

As of September 2026 Jobber publishes its five-user band at $299 a month for Grow and $499 a month for Plus, in US dollars, before any add-ons. Pipeline covers up to five users for £30 a month on annual billing with every feature included. Prices change, so check Jobber’s current pricing page - and use the calculator on this page with your own figures.

What is included in Pipeline that Jobber charges extra for?

Lead pipeline management and email marketing are sold as separate monthly add-ons by Jobber; both are part of every Pipeline plan. Job costing, two-way SMS and optional quote line items sit on Jobber’s higher tiers and are included at every level of Pipeline.

Is Pipeline as established as Jobber?

No, and it would be daft to pretend otherwise. Jobber is a large, mature platform with years of development and a very big customer base. Pipeline is a newer, UK-focused product - which is why we publish honest comparisons, include everything on every plan, and let you export your data whenever you like rather than asking you to take our word for it.
