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.

Add the extras junk removal companies often want (instant price on your site, options on one estimate and calls answered by AI) and Jobber moves you to Plus, $499 a month for one person, though instant price on your site is not on its plan cards. For comparison, the same must-haves on Koira are on Office (free), and the extras above take you to Grow ($249 a month plus usage at cost), with no per-person fee.

Where Jobber is a good fit for junk removal companies

  • Route optimization, automated client reminders and automatic card payments for recurring work all come in on Connect, which suits junk removal companies whose week is mostly repeat stops.
  • Grow adds optional line items and job costing, so junk removal companies can put an upgrade on the quote and see what each job really made.
  • 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 junk removal companies.
  • Tap to Pay (2.7% + 30¢) and progress invoicing are on every plan, Core included.
  • Its mobile app works in Spanish for team members, and it has a 14 day free trial on Grow with no credit card.

Where Koira does it differently for junk removal companies

Instant price on your site. On Jobber: not on its plan table. On every plan, a Get a price button gives a starting price from your list.

Calls answered by AI. On Jobber: Receptionist add-on, $29 a month, included on Plus. On Grow, Koira answers on a Koira number and texts back missed calls in about a minute.

Options on one estimate. On Jobber: Grow (optional line items). Send a new estimate from the driveway with up to three options when the load is bigger than they said.

What Koira does not doKoira does not do payroll, inventory or a dispatch board for a call center.

Worked example: half a truck plus a mattress

Half a truck plus a mattress, on the free junk removal cost calculator, comes to $275 to $550 (typical $413 (US average)).

StepThe math
Junk removal, 1/2 truck$200 to $400 (typical $300)
Mattresses or box springs$75 to $150 (typical $113)
RegionUS average prices (no ZIP entered)
Total$275 to $550, typical $413

A year of Jobber Connect for one person, at its lowest published rate, is $1,188, about 288% of this one job at the typical price of $413. Koira Office, which covers the must-haves for junk removal companies, is free, so the software takes nothing out of this job.
