Jobber vs. Thryv – Which is Best for Running Your Business?

What can Jobber do vs. Thryv?

Home service professionals want to provide the best possible customer experience. However, daily administrative and operational tasks can get in the way. You need a solution that helps the entire job run smoothly, from quoting through to payment.

Both Jobber and Thryv provide your business with a digital command center. But to choose the best fit, you need to know how they can help with your business’ specific points of friction.

To help you compare and choose, we’ve taken a detailed look at three business management features offered by both Jobber and Thryv: quoting, scheduling, and product support.

Pricing is another important factor in choosing the best solution for your business. Jobber offers a free trial and transparent pricing, so you can try the software out and see how it helps your business before committing, and you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be paying if you do purchase. 

Thryv doesn’t offer a free trial. You need to schedule a call with sales to get a quote and pay to use the software. See what you can do with these features or explore more options on Jobber’s pricing plans. 

Quoting

Jobber and Thryv both allow you to create and send professional quotes to your customers. However, only Jobber provides automated quote follow-ups.

The quote follow-up feature ensures you don’t miss out on booking new jobs

Unlike Thryv, Jobber sends automated email and SMS reminders to customers who haven’t responded, ensuring you never leave work on the table. When they’re ready, clients can visit the online customer portal to easily approve the quote, pay a deposit, or provide a signature.

Also, only Jobber offers consumer financing, powered by Wisetack, that allows your customers to pay at their own pace, while you still get paid in full as soon as the job is complete. This option can increase sales as much as 20% and give you the competitive edge to win more (and bigger) jobs.

Scheduling

Both Jobber and Thryv have a scheduling feature that allows you to see previous, current, and upcoming appointments. However, only Jobber lets you see your appointments in five different calendar views to give you flexibility in how you view your work. 

The map view, for example, shows a list of all of your tasks for the day sorted into scheduled, anytime, and unscheduled tasks. This will help you stay on top of your schedule, preventing overbooking, double booking, underbooking, missed appointments, or showing up late. 

Jobber’s drag-and-drop feature makes rescheduling or reassigning work easy. All you have to do is click, drag, drop, and your calendar is updated. 

For easy sorting, you sort your appointments in color codes. You can also use filters to sort your work and see what’s happening when. Unfortunately, Thryv doesn’t enable color-code sorting, which can make going over your schedule more time consuming. 

Award-winning support on every plan

Both Jobber and Thryv offer product support so all of your questions, and concerns can be addressed. Only Jobber offers unlimited phone, in-app chat, and email support; typically you speak to a real person within 2-5 minutes. Jobber also has an award-winning customer support team and offers 1:1 product coaching. 

Jobber’s customer service’s sole purpose is to help their business succeed as they use Jobber to grow their business. While Thryv charges for onboarding, Jobber offers onboarding and ongoing support at no additional cost.
