Where they really differ
Price per person versus price per band
Tradify charges each user, from $48 per user ex GST, so a team of three on Lite is $144 a month. Jobber prices a one-user plan and then bands of up to five, ten and fifteen users, in US dollars, adding US$29 a month for each user beyond the band. (Jobber pricing, checked )
Accounting and GST
Tradify syncs with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online on its cheapest plan and prints its prices ex GST. Jobber's pricing page names QuickBooks Online only, from Connect, and its prices exclude sales tax and are in US dollars. (Tradify pricing, checked )
Contracts
Tradify is month to month with no contract. Jobber offers month-to-month at its list price, a lower monthly price with a 12-month minimum term, or a year billed up front. (Tradify pricing, checked )
Trade paperwork
Tradify's Pro plan includes health and safety forms and compliance certificates, which Australian electricians and plumbers issue after many jobs. Jobber's plans list checklists for job documentation but not certificates. (Tradify pricing, checked )
