The self-hosted Jobber alternative
Jobora — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing — Self-hosted field-service software: quotes that turn into jobs, a drag-and-drop schedule board, real job costing and invoices — bought once. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Jobber every month.
Stop renting Jobber
3 months of Jobber equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The no-commitment monthly price on the entry tier, which includes one user. The ladder above it runs $139, $199 and $499/mo as the crew grows. Committing to a year is cheaper and a promotion was running the day this was read — neither is quoted here, because a promo price is not the price. Jobora is one payment for any number of technicians.
How Jobber pricing grows with you
Jobber sells tiers sized by team, so the bill steps up as people are added rather than staying where it started.

What Jobber does that we don't
Jobber ships native iOS and Android apps for running the day from the van.

Who should stay with Jobber
If you need a native mobile app, card payments taken in the field, or customer financing, stay with Jobber — Jobora is responsive web only, processes no payments, and offers no financing. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Jobber
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Jobber's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Jobora — Self-Hosted Job Management: Quotes, Scheduling, Job Costing vs Jobber comparison.
