Jobber Plus Teams is $529/month — and still lacks satellite measurement, a dedicated business phone, inventory management, customer self-scheduling, or AI photo tools. Add the integrations and add-ons you actually need and you’re paying $982–$1,247+/month. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99. Everything included.
Jobber has a clean interface and a loyal user base. For solo operators booking lawn mowing and basic maintenance it works fine. The problem starts when a landscaping company grows past one truck and starts quoting mulch bed installations, hardscaping projects, retaining walls, irrigation repairs, seasonal cleanups, sod installations, and landscape design packages remotely — without driving to every property first.
Jobber has no satellite measurement tool at any price. There is no way to measure a lawn, mulch bed, patio area, or fence line from satellite imagery inside Jobber. GPS tracking requires a FleetSharp integration at $29+/vehicle/month. Photo documentation for before-and-after project work requires CompanyCam at $72–$149/month. The AI Receptionist ($99/month) only answers inbound calls — it cannot make outbound follow-ups. And if you exceed the 15 users on Plus Teams, every additional crew member costs $29/month on top of your base plan.
This guide does not argue Jobber is bad. It shows what a growing landscaping operation actually pays when the tools you need are added — and what QuoteIQ Elite includes for less money on a single plan with one login.
Jobber Plus Teams ($529/mo) is their top tier for teams of up to 15 users. Here’s what it takes to match the features QuoteIQ Elite includes natively — using verified monthly pricing from each add-on and third-party integration as of March 2026.
+ $29/mo for each additional user beyond 15
Features Jobber cannot add at any price: Satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro equivalent), dedicated business phone with in-app calling, before/after AI photo generator, AI natural language CRM control (AI Autopilot), customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), inventory management, route density zones, and outbound AI calling.
A landscaping company running 3 trucks on Jobber Plus Teams pays $982–$1,247+ per month once you add the AI Receptionist, Marketing Suite, Pipeline, FleetSharp GPS, GoiLawn, and CompanyCam — and still has no satellite measurement, no business phone, no inventory tracking, no AI photos, and no customer self-scheduling. QuoteIQ Elite includes all of that for $249.99/mo. That is a savings of $732–$997+ per month, or $8,784–$11,964+ per year.

| Footnote: Jobber supports Xero integration — QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. Jobber has a larger app marketplace and includes route optimization natively on Grow and above. Both genuine advantages. | ||
No comparison is honest without acknowledging what the competitor does well. Here is where Jobber has a genuine edge.
Xero integration. Jobber supports Xero in addition to QuickBooks Online. QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. If your landscaping company runs on Xero, this matters.
Wisetack consumer financing. Jobber integrates with Wisetack so customers can finance larger hardscaping and landscape design projects. QuoteIQ does not have a consumer financing integration.
Larger app marketplace. Jobber has been around since 2011 and has built a broader third-party integration marketplace. More niche tools may have Jobber integrations that don’t exist on QuoteIQ yet.

— G2 Verified Reviewer Feature GatingPer-user fees of $29/month for each crew member beyond the plan limit cause total costs to balloon fast for growing landscaping teams. A 20-person crew on Plus Teams adds $145/month in overage alone.
— Per-user fee escalation · Multiple verified sources Cost CreepJobber’s AI Receptionist ($99/mo add-on) only handles inbound calls. It cannot make outbound follow-up calls to leads or customers who didn’t answer. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team handles both inbound and outbound AI calling.

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan II and Justin Rogers — both of whom ran home service businesses before building software to solve the problems they faced firsthand.
Mike grew and sold a pressure washing business before co-founding QuoteIQ. He knows firsthand the friction of quoting properties remotely, managing crew routes, and chasing Google reviews on competitor platforms. He now shares contractor growth strategies with 580,000+ YouTube subscribers.
Justin is a serial entrepreneur who has built, grown, and exited multiple service businesses. He co-founded QuoteIQ out of frustration with platforms that forced contractors to stitch together five separate tools to run one business. His YouTube channel, Forever Self Employed, helps service entrepreneurs scale.
You need Xero integration. If your landscaping company’s accounting runs on Xero and switching to QuickBooks Online is not an option, Jobber has an advantage QuoteIQ cannot match today.
You rely on Wisetack consumer financing. If larger hardscaping and landscape design projects require customer financing options, Jobber’s Wisetack integration handles that. QuoteIQ does not have a consumer financing integration yet.
The only reasons to stay on Jobber are Xero integration and Wisetack consumer financing. Those are real product advantages. Everything else — brand recognition, community size, marketplace breadth — is a marketing win for Jobber, not a product win.
Yes. Jobber Plus Teams is $529/mo for 15 users. To match QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set, you need the AI Receptionist ($99/mo), Marketing Suite ($79/mo), Pipeline ($49/mo), FleetSharp GPS (~$87/mo for 3 trucks), GoiLawn ($67–$255/mo), and CompanyCam ($72–$149/mo). That totals $982–$1,247+/mo. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/mo with everything included and no add-ons.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro lets you measure lawns, mulch bed areas, patio dimensions, fence linear footage, and entire property exteriors from satellite imagery. You can export measurements directly to estimates. Jobber has no satellite measurement tool natively or through any integration.
Yes. Jobber added route optimization in 2025, available on Grow plans and above. This is a genuine Jobber advantage. However, Jobber does not have Route Density Zones — the geographic job clustering visualization that shows where your landscaping jobs are concentrated so you can stack neighborhoods on the same day. QuoteIQ includes both route optimization and Route Density Zones.
Jobber does not include GPS tracking natively. You need the FleetSharp integration at $29+/vehicle/month. A 3-truck landscaping crew costs approximately $87/month just for GPS. QuoteIQ Elite includes real-time live GPS tracking for your entire crew with no per-vehicle fees.
No. Jobber’s Client Hub lets customers approve quotes, make payments, and communicate. But customers cannot pick a date and time from a live calendar and book themselves. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule provides true 24/7 customer self-scheduling against your live crew calendar. No phone tag, no missed evening leads.
No. Jobber has no inventory management feature at any price point or through any integration. Landscaping companies that track mulch, pavers, soil, plants, and sod across trucks and supply yards need a separate system. QuoteIQ Elite includes a full 5-module inventory management system covering products, locations, suppliers, orders, and transactions.
Jobber’s AI Receptionist is a $99/mo add-on that answers inbound calls only. It cannot make outbound calls. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team handles both inbound and outbound AI calling — answering missed calls, following up with leads who did not respond, and running automated outbound campaign calls. It is included on Elite.
Jobber Plus Teams includes 15 users. Every additional user costs $29/month. A landscaping company with 20 employees pays an extra $145/month ($29 × 5 additional users). A 25-person crew pays $290/month in overage fees alone on top of the $529 base. QuoteIQ Max at $399.99/mo includes unlimited users.
Yes. Export your Jobber client list and price book as CSV files. QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import automatically detects and maps Jobber’s fields to QuoteIQ fields. Your entire client database and service list can be live in QuoteIQ within minutes.
No. QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. Jobber supports both QuickBooks Online and Xero. If your landscaping company runs on Xero, this is a genuine Jobber advantage.
QuoteIQ offers five plans: Essentials ($29.99/mo, 1 user), Beginner ($74.99/mo, 2 users), Pro ($149.99/mo, 4 users), Elite ($249.99/mo, 7 users), and Max ($399.99/mo, unlimited users). Every feature on each plan is native — no add-ons, no integrations, no per-user overage fees. Jobber Plus Teams is $529/mo for 15 users before any add-ons.
