Job costing is the profit-per-job view. It starts on Jobber's Grow plan, so a Connect shop pays $50 to $100 more a month to get it. Here is the exact gap by crew size, what you must set up first, and where it falls short.
Core and Connect have no job costing. Grow adds it, and Plus includes it too. The profit bar is only as good as the labor rates and item costs you enter, and on recurring jobs it covers only the last 30 days.
| Users | Billed annually | 1-year, billed monthly | No commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +$50 ($600 a year) | +$50 | +$60 |
| 5 | +$80 ($960 a year) | +$90 | +$100 |
| 10 | +$70 ($840 a year) | +$90 | +$100 |
| 15 | +$100 ($1,200 a year) | +$90 | +$100 |
Worthd arithmetic: Grow list price minus Connect list price for the same bundle, from getjobber.com/pricing on Oct 16, 2026. From Core (1 user) the gap is bigger: Grow is $120 more billed annually ($149 vs $29), $130 on a 1-year term and $150 with no commitment. People past a bundle pay $29 each on either plan, so that part of the bill does not change.
| Input | What you have to do |
|---|---|
| Labor | Set an hourly labor cost for each employee. Cost = that rate times the time on the job's timesheet. |
| Materials | Give each line item a unit cost and a unit price in Products and Services. |
| Expenses | Log them on the job. Automatic receipt capture is a Plus feature (added Oct 6), so on Grow you type them in. |
The result is a profit bar on each job showing margin, price and cost. Only users with the job-costing permission see it, and clients never do. Source: Jobber help center, checked Oct 16, 2026.
A 5-person crew on annual billing pays $80 a month more for Grow. If your average job is $1,200 and nets 30%, one job leaves $360. The upgrade pays for itself if profit per job lets you reprice or drop about 3 under-margin jobs a year ($960 / $360 = 2.7). If you already know your margins from QuickBooks, the extra $960 buys less.
Grow fits a shop that quotes jobs with materials and labor and wants to see which job types lose money. Staying on Connect fits a shop that already tracks job profit in QuickBooks or a spreadsheet, or one that mainly runs recurring visits. If you want receipt capture and supplier-invoice forwarding as well, that is Plus: see Jobber's newest cost-tracking tools are on Plus, not Grow (Plus is $399 vs Grow $229 for 5 users, annual).
Grow. Jobber's pricing page lists 'Track profitability with job costing' first on Grow, and its help article says job costing is included in Grow and Plus. Core and Connect do not have it. Checked Oct 16, 2026.
Billed annually: $50 more at 1 user, $80 at 5 users, $70 at 10 users and $100 at 15 users. With no commitment the gap is $60 at 1 user and $100 at 5, 10 and 15 users. Checked Oct 16, 2026.
Three inputs: timesheets (an hourly labor cost set for each employee), line items with a unit cost and a unit price, and expenses logged on the job. Without a labor rate or unit costs, the profit bar has little to show.
Only partly. Jobber's help article says recurring-job costs cover the last 30 days, and that reporting on recurring job costs is not available. A cleaning or lawn shop will see a rolling 30-day figure, not profit per visit over time.
Not fully. Jobs created before May 4, 2023 do not pick up line-item costs from quotes or the products list, and labor cost only applies to timesheet entries created after a labor cost is set.
Yes. Jobber offers a 14-day free trial of Grow with no card required, per its pricing page on Oct 16, 2026.
Prices are US list prices. Jobber's pricing page and help article differ on whether Plus is listed with Grow; Grow is the lowest plan in both. The vendor's checkout controls: verify before you buy. Gaps shown as +$ are Worthd arithmetic. Report a correction.
