FullVue vs Jobber: an honest comparison
Jobber is excellent software with years of polish and thousands of happy users — if you run a residential service business that quotes, schedules, and invoices, it may be exactly what you need. FullVue is built for a different shop: the one that also carries inventory, cuts purchase orders, sells over a counter, or checks out equipment. Here's the honest side-by-side, including where Jobber beats us.
The short version
Choose Jobber if you want the most polished mobile experience in field service, consumer-facing online booking, and a huge ecosystem of templates, content, and integrations. Choose FullVue if your operation is more than dispatch-and-invoice: real inventory and purchasing, counter sales, equipment and rentals, and a staff time clock with scheduling — priced by team size instead of per-seat licenses and add-on stacking.
Where Jobber is genuinely better
We're not going to pretend otherwise:
- Mobile apps. Jobber's iOS and Android apps have years of releases and refinement behind them. FullVue runs fully in any phone browser and has an Android app — but no iOS app today.
- Consumer-facing booking. Jobber's online booking and request forms are built for homeowners finding you on Google. FullVue's customer portal is built for repeat commercial customers, not one-off consumer bookings.
- Track record and reviews. Jobber has years of public reviews and a large community. FullVue is newer, with a short public track record.
- Ecosystem. Jobber's template library, content, and integration marketplace are enormous. Ours is small.
Where FullVue is built differently
FullVue covers ground Jobber wasn't designed for:
- Purchasing and real inventory. Purchase orders, receipts, and bills linked on one screen; a low-stock dashboard widget and a purchase-request queue so reordering doesn't live in someone's head.
- Counter sales. A POS screen with barcode scan-to-cart, for shops that sell parts or product over the counter alongside job work.
- Assets and rentals. Track your own equipment, or rent to customers — with online self-service reservations and damage charges that flow straight onto the invoice.
- Attendance with scheduling. A time clock plus a staff scheduling suite — week rosters, shift swaps, availability, PTO — producing payroll-ready reports your bookkeeper or payroll provider runs with. (Not payroll processing; we don't move money or file taxes.)
- E-sign quotes included. Customers sign from a link on their phone — no login, no DocuSign subscription — and a signed quote can create the job automatically.
- Customer portal and two-way SMS. Customers see their jobs, quotes, invoices, and rentals, and you can text them with opt-in consent handled for you.
Pricing, side by side
Jobber's published pricing runs $39 (Core), $119 (Connect), and $199 (Grow) per month for solo plans, with team tiers from $169 to $599 per month plus $29 per month for each additional user — and several important capabilities are sold as add-ons, commonly $79–$99 per month each. That model works, but the bill grows every time you hire and every time you turn something on.
FullVue prices by team size in five-employee brackets. A 10-person shop running the Field Service bundle is about $242 per month billed annually (monthly billing runs about 12.5% more); the entire suite — every module we make — is about $433 per month. Hiring one tech inside your bracket doesn't add a line item, and the modules you pick are the whole bill. Base prices are published on our pricing page.
Who should pick which
Pick Jobber if you're a residential service business that wants best-in-class mobile polish, online booking, and a proven ecosystem. Pick FullVue if your shop bills time and materials and needs inventory, purchasing, counter sales, or equipment tracking in the same system as jobs and invoices — and you'd rather pay by team size than watch per-seat and add-on charges stack up.
One more difference worth naming plainly: FullVue is built by a veteran-owned company in Appleton, Wisconsin, with a first customer running it since 2023. Support is answered by the people who built it — replies within one business day. If you have a question this page doesn't answer, ask us — and if Jobber really is the better fit for your shop, we'll say so.
Side by side
| What matters | Jobber | FullVue |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Solo plans $39–$199/mo (Core, Connect, Grow); team tiers $169–$599/mo plus $29/mo per additional user. | Five-employee brackets by team size — Field Service bundle about $242/mo at 10 employees billed annually (about 12.5% more monthly); full suite about $433/mo. No per-seat licenses. |
| Add-ons vs. included | Several key capabilities sold as separate add-ons, commonly $79–$99/mo each on top of the plan. | The modules you pick are the whole bill. E-sign quotes, customer portal, dashboards, and custom PDF/email templates are included, not add-ons. |
| Mobile apps | Mature, polished iOS and Android apps with years of refinement. Jobber wins here. | Full web app in any phone browser, plus an Android app. No iOS app today. |
| Online booking & customer experience | Consumer-facing online booking and request forms, built for homeowner-facing services. Jobber wins here. | A customer portal for jobs, quotes, invoices, and rentals, with chat (including one-click transcription of customer voice messages) and two-way SMS with opt-in consent — built for repeat commercial customers. |
| Reviews & track record | Years of public reviews and a large, established user community. | Newer and smaller, with a short public track record. First customer running FullVue since 2023. Support answered by the people who built it — replies within one business day. |
| Inventory & purchasing | Not Jobber's focus — no purchasing workflow or stock-level inventory management. | Real inventory with purchase orders, receipts, and bills linked on one screen, a low-stock widget, and a purchase-request queue. |
| Counter sales / POS | None. | A counter/POS screen with barcode scan-to-cart for shops that sell parts or product over the counter. |
| Assets & rentals | None. | Track your own equipment, and rent to customers with online self-service reservations and damage charges that flow onto the invoice. |
| Time clock & staff scheduling | Time tracking on jobs. | Attendance: a time clock plus staff scheduling — rosters, shift swaps, availability, PTO — with payroll-ready reports. (Not payroll processing.) |
| Quotes & e-signature | Online quote approvals; feature availability varies by plan tier. | E-sign quote links included at every bracket — customer signs from their phone, no login, no DocuSign subscription — and a signed quote can create the job automatically. |
| QuickBooks Online | Long-established QuickBooks Online integration. | One-way push: send invoices and bills to QuickBooks Online. Simple and reliable — but if you need deep two-way sync today, Jobber's integration is more established. |
Questions owners actually ask
Is FullVue a Jobber alternative for shops with inventory?
That's the exact shop we're built for. Jobber is excellent at quoting, scheduling, and invoicing residential service work; FullVue adds native inventory and purchasing (POs, receiving, vendor bills on one screen), a barcode counter for walk-in sales, and asset/rental tracking — in one system instead of add-ons.
How does FullVue pricing compare to Jobber's?
Differently shaped: Jobber prices per plan tier plus $29/user beyond the included seats, with popular capabilities in $79–$99/mo add-ons. FullVue prices by team size in five-employee brackets with base prices public on our pricing page — at the 10-employee bracket the field-service bundle runs about $242/mo billed annually. Check both current pricing pages before deciding; numbers move.
Does FullVue have a mobile app like Jobber's?
There's an Android app and the web app is built mobile-first for crews in the field. Honest note: Jobber's mobile apps have years more polish — if a native iOS app is a hard requirement today, that's a point in Jobber's column.
Can I move from Jobber to FullVue without losing my data?
Yes — assisted migration is part of onboarding. Export your customers and jobs from Jobber, we help load them, and you run in parallel until you're ready. And your data stays exportable from FullVue forever — leaving should be a download, not a negotiation.
Does FullVue work with QuickBooks Online?
Yes — a deliberate one-way push: invoices and bills go to QuickBooks Online, your books stay in QuickBooks, and there's no two-way sync to break. Details on the QuickBooks integration page.
