Jobber is operations software for established field-service businesses. CurbSight is for contractors who need scored leads first — and a kanban PM module that's lighter-weight than Jobber's full FSM.
Jobber is a mature field-service management (FSM) platform for businesses that already have steady work and need scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and recurring service automation. CurbSight is for contractors a few stages earlier in the maturity curve — the bottleneck is finding the work, not managing dozens of recurring service routes. CurbSight has a kanban-style PM module but is not trying to replace Jobber for established multi-truck operations.
| CurbSight | Jobber | |
|---|---|---|
| Lead generation | Scored property leads built in | Not provided — bring your own leads |
| Job scheduling + dispatching | Basic (kanban stages) | Mature — calendars, route optimization, crew assignments |
| Invoicing + payments | Not in v1 | Core feature |
| Recurring services | Not applicable for storm-driven trades | Core for lawn care, cleaning, HVAC maintenance |
| Property intel on jobs | Built-in (every job sees street view, hail, score) | Manual entry |
| Pricing model | $500–$5,000 flat monthly | Per-user monthly tiers |
Jobber's strength is operations at scale: scheduling crews, dispatching jobs in routing order, invoicing on completion, taking payment, and managing recurring service contracts. For a lawn care company with 80 weekly accounts and 4 crews, or an HVAC company with maintenance contracts, Jobber is a category leader. The product is mature and the integrations with QuickBooks, Stripe, and the standard FSM stack are solid.
Jobber assumes you have steady work. Its scheduling and recurring-service features are built for businesses where the question is 'when do we get there?' not 'how do we find more work?'. For a roofing or siding company doing storm-driven, one-time, project-style work, the recurring-service and routing features are largely unused. The lead-generation gap is the bigger problem.
CurbSight is for storm-driven, project-style trades where the bottleneck is lead intelligence, not crew scheduling. Each job in the CurbSight PM kanban is tied to a scored property with property intelligence, hail history, and a pitch playbook context — the kind of data that's hard to manually port into a generic FSM. As CurbSight customers grow into needing real scheduling, the right move is often to layer Jobber underneath for the operations side, with CurbSight handling the lead-to-sold-job side.
Jobber's plans run roughly $50-280 per user per month depending on tier and team size, with annual contracts for the best pricing. CurbSight is flat monthly ($500/$1,500/$5,000) — at a 3-user team you're typically comparing CurbSight Pro ($1,500/mo) against Jobber's mid-tier (~$450-650/mo for 3 users), with the trade-off being CurbSight includes lead generation and Jobber doesn't.
