Jobber is the biggest name in field service software and it is genuinely good at what it does. It is also built for every trade at once, and priced per person. Here is the honest version of the difference.
| LawnMow IT | Jobber Core | |
|---|---|---|
| Paid monthly | $29 flat | $49 for one user |
| Paid monthly, on a year’s commitment | $29 flat | $39 for one user |
| Paid a year up front | $29 flat | $29 for one user |
| A second person on the truck | Included | +$29 a month each |
| Free plan | 10 yards, no expiry | None |
| Free trial | 30 days, no card | 14 days, no card |
| Built for | Lawn care | Every trade |
From Jobber's own pricing page for its Core plan, read September 2026. Their higher tiers add a lot more and cost a lot more.
Pay Jobber for a year up front and Core is $29 a month, same as us. So on headline price for one person, it's a tie, and anybody telling you otherwise is quoting the monthly rate and hoping you don't check.
The difference is the second person. Jobber charges $29 a month for them, which is the entire cost of our plan. We don't charge for them at all. Put your brother-in-law on a second truck and one of those numbers moves.
It runs plumbers, electricians, cleaners and landscapers off one platform. That is a real achievement and it is why the setup takes a while: a tool that has to fit every trade can't assume anything about yours.
We only do lawns, so we get to assume plenty. Cadence in weeks. Yards, not work orders. Rain that matters because grass grows in it.
We measure how much rain has fallen on each lawn since you last cut it, so you can tell which ones actually grew and which are too soft to put a mower on. We time every visit from the crew's own taps and tell you which yards aren't paying your hourly rate. We work your service days out from the days you're already mowing those streets, so there's nothing to draw or configure.
None of that makes sense for a plumber, which is roughly why it doesn't exist in software built for one.
If you run more than one trade, if you have ten people and need real dispatching, or if you want the deep quoting and marketing tools on their higher plans, buy Jobber. You'll outgrow us and we'd rather say so now than take your $29 for a year first.
If it's one or two trucks and all you mow is grass, we're the closer fit and the cheaper one once there's a second person.
If you run one trade with one or two trucks, you will pay for a lot of platform you never open. If you run multiple trades, or ten people who need real dispatching, or you want their quoting and marketing tools, it is worth it and we are not the better buy.
Yes. Their Core plan includes one user and each additional person is $29 a month on top, per their own pricing page as of September 2026. That is the entire cost of our plan, for one extra person.
Several have free tiers - Yardbook, LawnBook and Lawn Buddy among them - and if ten yards and a free tool is genuinely all you need, use one of those. Ours is free for 10 yards too. Past that we are $29 a month flat however many people you have.
Not in one click, no. There is no import that pulls your book across - you add customers as you go, or paste a list of addresses into one. On sixty customers that is an evening, and we would rather tell you that now than after you have signed up.
The free plan doesn't expire and doesn't want a card. Compare it against whatever you're using with your own customers in it.
