Jobber vs. Skimmer
-
Both Jobber and Skimmer are fully transparent with their pricing, providing plan details and fees on their websites.
Skimmer offers a unique pricing structure billed at $1 per serviced location/month, with a 60-day free trial. This cost can add up quickly and can vary significantly from month to month, since you are billed per location—the more work you take on, the more you’ll pay per month. You’ll have access to features, including an unlimited number of users and customers, service emails with photos, phone & email support, video training, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Jobber offers a 14-day free trial and four affordable, flexible plans with robust features for any stage of your business. The Lite plan allows you to send unlimited quotes and invoices, so you get paid faster. The Core plan is ideal for a single user who wants to organize operations—from quoting to scheduling to invoicing—all in one place. While the Connect plan allows for up to five users, the Grow plan allows for up to 15 users. Both plans have more robust features such as online booking, automated customer communication, unlimited quotes and invoices, a 24/7 self-serve online customer portal, and convenient online payment options.
