YardPartner vs Jobber
Jobber has the best-known app in the trade, and it earns it. It also charges $29 a month for every extra user on Core, gates texting behind $139 and routing behind $199, and raised its month-to-month prices in 2026. Here is the honest comparison.
| Feature | YardPartner | Jobber |
|---|---|---|
| One person | $49/mo, everything included | Core $49/mo ($29/mo prepaid annually), one user |
| Owner plus two helpers | $49/mo, unlimited users | Core $107/mo with two extra users at $29 each; Connect $199/mo for up to five users once you need text reminders |
| Route optimization | Included | Grow tier, $199/mo |
| Two-way texting | Included | Grow tier, $199/mo; reminders start at Connect, $139/mo |
| Card payments | Stripe’s card rate (2.9% + 30¢), plus $0.60 to YardPartner for every $100 processed | 2.9% + 30¢, and nothing to Jobber |
| Bank payments | Stripe’s bank-transfer rate, plus $1.10 to YardPartner for every $100, never more than $10 on a payment | 1% |
| Spanish | Owner, crew, web admin, and invoices and texts in the customer’s language | Crew members only, in the mobile app; not for owners or admins; invoices stay in English |
| Dead zones | Job photos queue and retry until they upload; the schedule needs a connection | Jobber documents no offline mode. Its 2026 App Store reviews say it needs a connection for everything, even to clock in |
| Trial | 60 days, no card | 14 days, no card |
Jobber prices are month-to-month; annual prepaid is lower and requires a year up front. The 2026 change is visible in the archived pricing pages linked below.

What Jobber has that we don’t, yet
Bigger crews ask for these. Most one-truck operators never miss them.
- A 4.8-star iPhone app with more than 20,000 ratings.
- An AI receptionist add-on and a marketing suite, for shops with a front office.
- No platform fee on card payments.
What you get here that you won’t get there
- One price for the whole crew. Jobber charges $29 for every extra user; a three-person crew pays $107 to $199 a month before it can text customers.
- Routing, two-way texting, and the client portal without climbing tiers.
- Spanish for the owner and the customer, not only for the helpers.
- Snow events built in, and a 60-day trial instead of 14.
