Jobber alternative
Switching from Jobber? Hoseworks is purpose-built for exterior cleaning: photos, surface-based estimating, and reviews are in one per-truck plan instead of a stack of add-ons.
Switch to Hoseworks if
Multi-trade shops and operators who want the largest ecosystem and don't mind assembling add-ons to fit exterior work.
Stay on Jobber if
If you run several trades beyond exterior cleaning, or you've already built your business around Jobber's marketplace of integrations, staying put is reasonable. Hoseworks is purpose-built for exterior crews, not a generalist.
Total cost of ownership
Prices verified verified July 2026. Third-party add-on pricing is indicative and changes, so check each vendor for current rates.
| Hoseworks | Jobber + add-ons | |
|---|---|---|
| Field management (base plan) | Included | from $49/mo (Core, 1 user) |
| Photo job recordsincumbents bolt on CompanyCam | Included | +$63/mo (CompanyCam) |
| Surface-based estimatingincumbents bolt on ResponsiBid | Included | +$179/mo (ResponsiBid) |
| Review requestsincumbents bolt on NiceJob | Included | +$75/mo (NiceJob) |
Jobber is priced per user (each plan includes a set number of seats and additional users cost extra) and the low prices it advertises need an annual commitment. Add-on pricing (CompanyCam, ResponsiBid, NiceJob) is third-party and changes. The point isn't the exact figure. It's that the incumbent needs a stack, and per-seat pricing, to match one per-truck Hoseworks plan.
