Every cleaner adds to your billJobber counts anyone who uses the account, in the office or in the field, as a user, and extra users are $29 a month each. In Busy Book, partners use the partner app at no extra cost.
Texting starts on a higher planTwo-way texting with clients starts on the Grow plan at $199 a month for 1 user with no commitment. Busy Book texts on every plan, through your own Quo, GoHighLevel or Twilio number.
The AI receptionist costs extraJobber's Receptionist is a $29 a month add-on for 30 conversations on Core, Connect and Grow, and it's included on Plus. Irene, Busy Book's AI assistant, answers texts and calls on every plan.
Flat prices instead of quotesBusy Book prices every home from your bedroom, bathroom and square-foot formula, so clients book without waiting on a quote.
We make Busy Book, so we're not neutral. We stuck to what Jobber says on its own pricing page in November 2026, and here's when Jobber may fit you better:
You run more than one kind of home service, like cleaning plus lawn care.
You quote custom jobs often and want job costing.
You depend on QuickBooks Online or Xero sync.
