# CurbSight vs Jobber

Jobber is a popular field-service management platform widely used by home services contractors for scheduling, invoicing, and customer management. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — and includes a built-in project management module that replaces most of what contractors use Jobber for.

Here is the honest comparison.

## What Each Tool Is Built For

**Jobber:** Generic field-service operations. Designed to be a CRM, scheduler, and invoicing tool for any home services category — landscapers, plumbers, cleaners, electricians, contractors. Strong on accounting integrations and customer-facing communications.

**CurbSight:** Property intelligence and lead generation built specifically for roofing, windows, siding, solar, HVAC, and exterior trades — with project management built in to handle the full lifecycle from lead to invoice.

## Lead Generation

| Capability | Jobber | CurbSight |
|---|---|---|
| Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score per property |
| Hail and storm data | None | NOAA Storm Events Database, per-property |
| Public records integration | None | County GIS APIs, all 50 states (rolling out) |
| Owner names from records | None | Yes, via county parcels |
| Satellite imagery | None | Google Static Maps + Street View |
| Door-knock territory builder | None | Yes, by zip code |

Jobber starts after you have a customer. CurbSight starts before — finding you customers from public data.

## Project Management

| Capability | Jobber | CurbSight |
|---|---|---|
| Kanban board | Yes | Yes |
| Job tracking | Yes | Yes |
| Crew scheduling | Yes (strong) | Yes |
| Photo uploads | Yes | Yes |
| Estimates and invoices | Yes (strong) | Yes (basic) |
| QuickBooks/Xero integration | Yes | API access on Enterprise |
| Customer-facing portal | Yes | No |

Jobber has more depth on the accounting and customer-portal side. CurbSight covers the core 80% workflow that most exterior contractors actually use day-to-day.

## When Jobber Is the Right Choice

- You are a multi-vertical home services business (cleaning + landscaping + handyman) where property intelligence isn't relevant to most of your work.
- You have heavy QuickBooks or Xero integration requirements.
- You need a full customer-facing portal with quote acceptance and online booking.
- You don't need lead generation — you have a steady inbound flow from referrals or marketing.

## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice

- You are a roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, or exterior contractor.
- You spend money on shared marketplace leads (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Networx) and want to replace that channel.
- You door-knock or canvass and want to know which doors to knock on.
- You operate in a hail-prone region and want NOAA storm data integrated into your prospecting.
- You want to consolidate lead-gen and basic PM into one tool to reduce stack cost.

## The Cost Comparison

A typical mid-size roofing contractor stack:
- Jobber Connect: $169/month (or higher tier)
- HomeAdvisor / Angi spend: $1,000–$5,000/month in shared leads
- Sales Rabbit or canvassing tool: $40–$80/user/month
- **Total: ~$1,500–$5,500/month**

Same contractor on CurbSight Pro:
- CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (includes scored leads, map, routes, PM)
- **Total: $1,500/month**

For most contractors, CurbSight Pro replaces Jobber + the lead-gen spend with a single line item, often at lower total cost.

## Migration

Customers moving from Jobber to CurbSight typically:

1. Run both tools in parallel for the first 30 days.
2. Use CurbSight to source new leads while wrapping up active Jobber jobs.
3. Move new jobs into CurbSight's PM module as they close.
4. Cancel Jobber once the last active job invoices.

Migration is straightforward — no data import needed because the two platforms answer different questions.
