Trades Chaser vs Jobber: pricing and features compared

Updated 2026-07-21

The short version

Jobber is a full field-service platform built for businesses dispatching a crew — pricing scales per user, starting at Core (1 user) and running up to Plus (15 users). Trades Chaser is a flat-rate tool for a solo trade business: one login, invoicing, quotes, a calendar, and automatic payment follow-ups, with an optional AI toolkit on top.

Pricing

Pricing shown is what Jobber listed on their own pricing page (https://www.getjobber.com/pricing/) as of 2026-07-21. Software pricing changes — confirm current numbers directly with them before deciding.

Trades Chaser, by comparison:

Where Jobber wins

• Multi-user teams — up to 15 seats on Plus, more with Enterprise pricing
• Built-in card payment processing with automatic reconciliation
• QuickBooks Online sync
• Two-way SMS with customers
• Route/GPS and dispatch tooling for a crew on the road
• A native mobile app

Where Trades Chaser wins

• Price — $10–$30/mo flat vs. $49+/mo for a single Jobber seat
• An AI bill-of-materials generator that drafts a labor/materials/equipment list for a quote
• AI receipt scanning that turns a photo into a logged expense
• Per-category annual budget tracking, not just income/expense totals
• No per-seat pricing to think about, because there are no seats

What Trades Chaser doesn't do

Being direct about this matters more than winning every line item:

• No multi-user seats or crew logins — one account, one login. Built for a solo operator or owner + one helper, not a dispatched team.
• No built-in card payment processing — you can paste any payment link (Stripe or otherwise) onto an invoice, but there's no embedded checkout or automatic payment reconciliation.
• No QuickBooks/Xero accounting sync.
• No native mobile app (it's a responsive web app in your phone's browser) and no SMS/two-way texting.
• No route optimization, GPS tracking, or dispatch board.

Bottom line

If you're a solo operator or run a two-person shop, Jobber's cheapest plan already costs more than Trades Chaser's most expensive one, for a feature set built around a bigger team. If you're dispatching five-plus techs and need card processing and accounting sync built in, Jobber is the more complete tool for that job.
