Thinking about leaving Jobber?
For the crew of one to three, the bill matters more than the feature list. Below is what each one costs, what each one does, and who should stay put. Where Jobber is the better tool, it says so.
Prices checked October 2026. Jobber is a trademark of its owner; we are not affiliated.
Jobber’s solo plan starts around $39–$49 a month, but online booking, automated follow-ups and two-way texting live on the $129–$199 plans, with extra users at $29 each. CRM Basket is $97 a month flat for the whole suite with unlimited users.
Jobber is a tighter job-scheduling and dispatch tool. CRM Basket is the office: missed-call text-back, quotes with e-signature, invoices, review requests, email and text follow-up, a website and a phone number, in one login.
If you run four or more trucks and live by GPS crew tracking, job costing and route optimization, Jobber is built for that and we are not.
List prices for a small shop. Both companies change plans; the numbers below are a snapshot from October 2026.
Jobber changed plan names and prices more than once in 2026, and monthly versus annual billing moves the numbers. Treat these as ballpark and check getjobber.com/pricing before you decide.
No contract. Cancel anytime. Nothing is billed until the trial ends.

Feature availability for Jobber is based on its public pricing and help pages as of October 2026 and may have changed. If we got something wrong, email Eric@CRMBasket.com and we’ll fix it.
Nobody wins every row, and a comparison page that pretends otherwise isn’t worth your time.
You dispatch four or more trucks, track crews by GPS, or run job costing every week.
You’re the owner plus one or two people, the phone goes to voicemail while you’re on a mower, and you’re paying for Jobber tiers to get texting and follow-up you barely use.
Most people run both for a short overlap. Nothing gets lost and no customer notices.
Jobber lets you export clients and jobs as CSV. We import them during setup, free.
Port your business line into CRM Basket, or forward it. Missed-call text-back turns on the same day.
Finish open jobs in Jobber while new quotes go out of CRM Basket. Cancel Jobber when the last invoice clears.
It has calendars and job pipelines, not a dispatch board with GPS. For an owner-operator crew that works fine; for a fleet it doesn’t.
Yes. Export clients from Jobber as a CSV and we import them, with tags, during setup.
Yes. Two-way texting, missed-call text-back and text follow-ups are part of the $97 plan. Heavy senders use a monthly usage credit, and we tell you before anything is billed on top.
CRM Basket connects to QuickBooks Online so invoices and payments flow to your books.
We build your website in CRM Basket, port or set up your phone number, load your customer list, and turn on the follow-up automations. It’s optional and one-time.
No. Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. The trial is 14 days and you aren’t billed until it ends.
Start the free trial, forward your phone, and watch what happens to the calls you used to miss. If it isn’t better, cancel before day 14 and you’ve paid nothing.
