Jobber vs Service Puffin

The Jobber alternative built just for cleaning.

Jobber runs every home-service trade — lawns, HVAC, plumbing, and you. It is priced to grow a crew: $29 a month for every person you add, and two-way texting arrives on the $199 plan. If you clean houses and want one flat bill, you are who we are for.

The advertised price, honestly

Jobber Core is cheaper than us — until you read the asterisks.

Month to month, Jobber Core is $49 and we are $59. If Core does what your week needs, take it — that is a genuine recommendation. The advertised $21 and $39 rates need a prepaid year or a one-year commitment, every person you add is $29 a month on every plan, and two-way texting starts on Grow at $199. Our price is flat, month to month, with reminder texts included however busy you get: the bill is the bill.

Jobber plan details taken from their published pricing page, checked 25 August 2026.

Moving over takes an evening.

Step 1

Export your clients

Download your client list from Jobber as a CSV. If your plan will not let you export it, send us whatever you can get — a spreadsheet, a screenshot, a list — and we will sort it out.

Step 2

Drop the file in

Service Puffin reads the column headings and matches them up for you — names, phone numbers, emails, addresses. You check the preview and confirm. Nothing is imported twice.

Step 3

Rebuild the week, not the year

Add your recurring jobs once and they generate forward on their own. Most solo cleaners have fewer than a dozen. It is an evening, not a project.

Would rather not do it yourself? Email your client list to hello@servicepuffin.com and we will import it for you before your trial starts.
