From Jobber pricing, checked October 8, 2026. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Prices are per month in US dollars and change often, so check the page before you buy.

  • Core already covers online booking, quotes, invoices and a website for one user at $29 a month billed yearly, which is enough for many solo cleaning companies.
  • Its mobile app works in Spanish for team members, and it has a 14 day free trial on Grow with no credit card.

Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft home on a standard clean every other week

A 2,000 sq ft home on a standard clean every other week, on the free house cleaning cost calculator, comes to $170 to $295 (typical $233, $6,045 a year).

StepThe math
RateStandard clean: $0.09 to $0.15 per sq ft, typical $0.12
Labor adjusted for the US average×1, national prices. Add your ZIP to adjust labor to your state.
Per visit2,000 sq ft × $0.12 = $240
Regular visit$240 − $7.50 = $233
