What it costs for your crew
Estimated monthly cost from each vendor's published pricing, before taxes, payment processing, and promotions.
| Crew size | Revcore Pro | Jobber | Square |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-person crew | $249/moStarter plan | $299/mo ($229/mo billed annually) | $49/mo plus processing |
| 7-person crew | $499/moPro plan | $399/mo ($299/mo billed annually) | $49/mo plus processing |
| 15-person crew | $899/moScale plan | $499/mo ($399/mo billed annually) | $49/mo plus processing |
Revcore Pro: smallest plan whose included seats cover the crew, billed monthly. Annual billing is lower.
Jobber: Grow plan, the lowest Jobber tier with two-way texting, at list price without the time-limited promotion. Jobber prices by team size band: a 3-person crew uses the 5-user band, 7 uses the 10-user band, and 15 uses the 15-user band, so no extra $29 user fees apply. Month-to-month price shown first, annual prepaid in brackets. Excludes add-ons and card processing.
Square: Square Plus for one location, the lowest plan with multi-package estimates, payment schedules, and staff timecards. Square prices per location, not per user, so crew size does not change the plan fee. Square Free is $0/mo if you only need basic invoices and estimates. Card processing fees are extra, and Square does not cover dispatch or field job management, so this is not a like-for-like total.
Which one fits your business
Jobber
Jobber is a good fit for
- Owner operators and small crews doing recurring or quick-turn service work
- Businesses that want a self-serve app with online booking and a client hub on every plan
- Teams that value a large app marketplace, QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, and Zapier
It is a weaker fit for
- Contractors who close high-ticket jobs at the kitchen table and need a built-in sales presentation
- Teams that need two-way texting but want to stay on Jobber's lower Core or Connect plans
- Shops that want data import help without paying for the top Plus plan
What Jobber does well
- Clean, mature iOS and Android apps with a Spanish option for field staff
- Client hub, online booking, and request forms on every plan, including the $29/mo annual Core plan
- Low entry price for a solo operator
- Broad accounting and app connections: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zapier, Gusto, and an app marketplace
- Recent AI tools such as auto-drafted quotes, voice notes, and an AI Receptionist
Where it falls short
- Two-way texting, optional quote line items, and job costing start on Grow, not the lower plans
- No native interactive in-home sales presentation
- Pipeline, Marketing Suite, and Receptionist are paid add-ons unless you are on Plus
- Team size bands and $29/mo extra users mean the bill steps up as the crew grows
- Data import is listed as included only on the Plus plan
Square
Square is a good fit for
- Contractors who mainly need to take card payments on site and send invoices
- Very small businesses that want to start at $0/mo and pay only processing fees
- Businesses that also sell retail products or need a simple online booking page
It is a weaker fit for
- Crews that need dispatch, job tracking, and field photos tied to each job
- Contractors who sell higher-ticket work with an in-home presentation
- Teams that want a trade-specific CRM and homeowner project portal
What Square does well
- Start free and pay only processing fees
- Mature, well-known payments with tap to pay on iPhone and Android and card readers
- Estimates, contracts with e-signature, invoices, and deposits in one free plan
- Transparent, published processing rates and no long-term contract
- Per-location pricing with no per-user fee listed
Where it falls short
- Not built for field service: no dispatch board, routing, job costing, or field photo workflow
- No in-home sales presentation
- Multi-package estimates, payment schedules, and timecards require Square Plus
- Online and invoice card payments cost 3.3% + 30¢ on Square Free
