The bottom line on Jobber

Jobber is excellent general-purpose field service software with 1,400+ reviews to prove it. But the tier gates sting for pest operators: you need Connect ($169+/mo) just to get online booking, and Grow ($349+/mo) to unlock two-way texting — both basics for any pest company. pestcontroller.org includes both at every tier. And Jobber has zero pest-specific compliance tools: no chemical tracking, no EPA registration, no state disclosure forms.
