VuseDesk vs Jobber, the honest version

The structural differences.

VuseDesk's side of this table is exact and checkable today. Jobber's side sends you to their own sheet on purpose: their numbers change, and a comparison that quotes a competitor's stale price is a comparison you should not trust.

A percentage of your jobs

VuseDesk$0.00, structurally. Client payments run as direct charges into your own Stripe account. VuseDesk cannot take a cut because the money never passes through us.

JobberCheck how payments route and what the processing markup is on their current sheet.

What the software costs

VuseDeskTwo flat plans, public and complete: $39.99/mo (Contractor) and $99.99/mo (General Contractor). Five seats included on both, then blocks of five at $15/mo.

JobberTheir pricing changes by tier, seats and promotions. Read their current price sheet, then type the total into the ledger below.

Client logins

VuseDeskFree and unlimited, wearing your logo and color, with nothing for the client to install.

JobberVaries by plan. Check whether client access is gated by tier.

Subcontractor logins

VuseDeskFree, never counted as seats, scoped to the jobs you assign, on the GC plan.

JobberCheck whether subs count as paid users.

The crew and money

VuseDeskNo money on any employee screen, ever. Not a rate, not a total, not an invoice. Structural, not a setting.

JobberCheck what a field tech can see on their plan tiers.

If you leave

VuseDeskCancel and the workspace turns read-only, with no countdown. Clients and payments export as CSV, any job’s documents as a zip. Nothing is deleted unless you ask.

JobberCheck the export surface and what happens to your data after cancellation.

What we refuse to claim

VuseDeskThe security page lists what we do NOT claim yet, and the pricing page names what does not export. On purpose.

JobberMarketing pages rarely volunteer their limits. Read the fine print with that in mind.

Where Jobber is genuinely stronger.

Said here, above the fold of our own argument, because a comparison page that concedes nothing is an ad.

QuickBooks sync

Jobber connects to QuickBooks. VuseDesk deliberately does not: your clients and payments export as clean CSVs, which is the file a bookkeeper asks for, but there is no live sync. If a live sync is non-negotiable, they are the better fit today and we would rather say so here.

Years of reviews

Jobber has been reviewed for a decade. We are newer, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we offer instead is a product tour that opens in your browser with no account, so you judge the software instead of the review count.

Consumer financing

Jobber offers client financing options. VuseDesk does not move money at all, in either direction, on purpose.

Where we are.

Jobber prices by plan tier and seats, and features unlock as the tier climbs. VuseDesk is two flat plans: $39.99 runs your crew, $99.99 runs your subs, five seats included on both, and the feature list on each plan is public and complete.
Client payments in VuseDesk settle into your own Stripe account. There is no VuseDesk balance in the middle and no payout schedule of ours to wait on.

Do the arithmetic yourself.

We are not going to quote Jobber's numbers, because they change and this page should not pretend to track them. Open their price sheet, put their numbers in, and read the year side by side.

Their monthly price, dollars

Their cut of payments, percent

Your card volume a year, dollars

Your VuseDesk plan

Their year, on your numbers$1,788.00

VuseDesk's year$479.88

Card processing is charged by the processor either way and is left out of both sides. Your numbers, our arithmetic; nothing leaves this page.
