You didn't start looking for a way out of Jobber because you found something shinier. You started looking because the bill keeps climbing every time you add a technician, and the software still can't design anything or hand a homeowner a real estimate on the spot. The only question left is what happens to everything you built while you were a customer there. Your client list. Your job history. Your website's place in Google. Evalation moves all of it in four clicks, and your site keeps every bit of the ranking it already earned.
Most contractors don't leave software because they found something better. They leave because the thing they're on has quietly gotten too expensive for what it actually does, and the cost of staying still feels smaller than the cost of switching. That math is exactly what per-seat pricing is built on. Jobber's Grow plan runs roughly $229 to $299 a month at five users and climbs to $399 to $699 a month once you're at fifteen, depending on the tier (getjobber.com/pricing, accessed July 2026). The bill goes up every time you hire. The software underneath it doesn't change.
It doesn't have to be a two-week ordeal to leave. Moving your business to Evalation takes four clicks. Your client records, your job history, your invoices, and your website move with you. Nothing gets rebuilt from a blank screen. Nothing gets manually retyped from a spreadsheet export at midnight.
The part contractors worry about most is the website. You've spent years getting your site to rank above the contractor down the street, and losing that position is often the real reason people stay somewhere they've already outgrown. Migrating to Evalation keeps your site's SEO intact. You keep the ranking. You just stop paying Jobber to keep the lights on under it.
You built your reputation one job at a time. Switching the software running your business shouldn't put any of it at risk.
If you're evaluating a move away from Jobber, look at what else is actually out there before you take our word for anything. Below is a straight read on three real options, using each vendor's own published numbers where they publish any.
Housecall Pro solves a narrower version of the problem you already have with Jobber. It's built for the same kind of home-service scheduling, dispatch, and payments, not construction project management or design. Basic runs $79 a month for one user ($59 a month billed annually), Essentials is $189 a month for five users ($149 annually), and Max is $329 a month for eight users ($299 annually), plus $35 a month for every seat past that (housecallpro.com/pricing, accessed July 2026). That's a real jump the moment you outgrow a single truck, and the extras stack fast: sales proposals run another $40 a month, GPS tracking is $20 a month per vehicle, and a price book add-on is $149 a month, with payment processing around 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, according to third-party comparisons of the platform (treat those figures as directional, not confirmed directly by Housecall Pro). If per-seat pricing is what's pushing you off Jobber, Housecall Pro fixes the logo on your invoice, not the math. You still don't get a native 3D design tool, blueprint generation, or construction-specific estimating either way.
JobTread is the more honest pick if what's actually missing from Jobber is job costing and a real construction workflow, not just scheduling. It publishes real numbers: $199 a month base for one internal user, then $20 a month per seat for users two through ten, $15 a month for users eleven through twenty, and down to $5 a month past thirty users, with 20% off for annual billing, no contract, and a 30-day money-back guarantee (jobtread.com/pricing, accessed July 2026). External vendors, customers, and subcontractors get free, unlimited portal seats, which is a genuine advantage over a pure per-user tool. The tradeoff: JobTread has a steep learning curve for what it gives you, no built-in digital takeoff tool, and if you work in a spreadsheet, you'll be exporting and re-uploading rather than editing in place. It's also built around cost-plus and time-and-materials billing, so if you run fixed-price jobs, expect friction.
Evalation is the option built around the switch itself, not just a fresh feature list. It runs the CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting side of your business in one system, and if you build decks, pergolas, concrete, or fencing, Evalation Lab adds a live 3D design and an instant estimate you can hand a homeowner before you leave the driveway. Every other trade gets 5-minute AI estimates instead of the 3D walkthrough. Pricing is public: the first 50 founding members pay $297 a month, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Members 51 through 550 pay $416 a month, also locked for life. After that, tiered plans follow, with no specifics published yet. Either way, it's a detail most of the vendors on this list won't give you until you get on a call.
Evalation is built as a CORR platform. CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together.
Every migration is backed by the Moving Truck Guarantee, Evalation's guarantee built specifically to remove the risk and cost of switching software. If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free. It exists for the exact fear the section above describes: that leaving is somehow riskier than staying somewhere you've already outgrown.
Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees.
Four clicks, and your site's SEO stays intact.
73% close rate at double the market price (documented across founder David Bassett's own contracting business, before he built Evalation. See /founder).
No named case study yet for contractors switching from Jobber specifically. What's verifiable today: a four-click migration you can test yourself, and founder David Bassett's own 73% close rate at double market price.
Every contractor stitching together five different tools is really just paying five different companies to not talk to each other.
David Bassett built and exited a $5.3M construction company before building Evalation. If you run general contracting or remodeling crews and want to see how the platform fits your trade specifically, visit /for/general-contractors. Full pricing detail lives at /pricing.
Here's the comparison without the marketing gloss. For the full row-by-row breakdown, see /compare/jobber.
| Jobber | Evalation | |
|---|---|---|
| Design & blueprints | No native 3D design or blueprint tool. Built for scheduling and invoicing across home-service trades generally, not construction estimating specifically. | Live 3D design and auto-generated blueprints for decks, pergolas, concrete, and fencing through Evalation Lab. Every other trade gets 5-minute AI estimates. |
| Estimating speed | Manual quote builder. No live 3D walkthrough to show the homeowner during the sale. | Instant estimate, handed over before you leave the driveway. |
| Marketing engine | Review automation (~$79/mo) and an AI receptionist (~$29/mo) are separate paid add-ons, not part of the base plan (third-party comparisons, directional). | Lead follow-up and relationship tracking live inside the platform's Relations side, included in the flat monthly fee. |
| Payments | Invoicing built in. Add-ons like Sales Proposals, GPS, and a Price Book stack on top of the base plan on comparable platforms in this category (directional, third-party comparisons). | Invoicing is native to Evalation, no third-party invoicing tool required. Payments run on Stripe. Card processing from 3.1%, bank transfer (ACH) for less. No monthly payment fees, no hidden add-ons. |
| Migration | Exporting your own data out is on you. Most switchers describe rebuilding client and job records by hand. | Four clicks in. Your site keeps its SEO. |
| Price | $29-49/month for one user, but scales per seat: roughly $229-299/month at 5 users, $399-699/month at 15 users on the Grow or Plus plan (getjobber.com/pricing, accessed July 2026). | $297/month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life. $416/month for the next 500 members, also locked for life. No per-user fees at either tier. |
No. Migration is built to bring your client records, job history, and invoices with you. That's the entire point of the four-click move.
Four clicks on your end. The heavier lifting happens on Evalation's side, not yours.
No. Migration is built to preserve your site's SEO, so the ranking you've already earned doesn't reset the week you switch.
Evalation Lab's live 3D design currently covers those four trades. Every other trade gets 5-minute AI estimates plus the full CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting side of the platform.
Most contractors move over in one pass rather than running both, since the four-click migration is built to bring everything at once. Talk to the team about your specific timeline before you cancel anything.
It's built to remove the risk and cost of switching software. If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free.
