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.
The Jobber plan a 1 to 3 person plumbing shop ends up on
For plumbers, the list that decides the plan is customers book online, stops sorted by the drive, price book and review requests. On Jobber that lands on Connect because stops sorted by the drive first appears there: $139 a month for one person and $197 for three, on monthly billing. Add $29 a month for calls answered by AI if you want that too. Each person past the team size you pick is $29 a month.

Where Koira does it differently for plumbers
Price book. On Jobber: not on its plan table. Koira prices from your own list. Anything you have not priced comes to you once as a question, and it never invents a number.
Review requests. On Jobber: not on its plan table. An hour after every paid job Koira texts the review ask with your Google link, on every plan.
Calls answered by AI. On Jobber: Receptionist add-on, $29 a month, included on Plus. On Grow, Koira picks up on your Koira number, asks what is wrong, books the visit and texts you if the caller says it is an emergency.
Worked example: a like-for-like 40 to 50 gallon tank water heater swap
A like-for-like 40 to 50 gallon tank water heater swap, on the free plumbing cost estimator, comes to $820 to $1,750 (typical $1,300).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Guide price | Water heater, tank (40 to 50 gal): $825 to $1,755 each, typical $1,290 |
| Labor adjusted for the US average | ×1, national prices. Add your ZIP to adjust labor to your state. |
| Quantity | 1 each × $1,290 = $1,290 typical |
| Total | $820 to $1,750, typical $1,300 |
A year of Jobber Connect for one person, at its lowest published rate, is $1,188, about 91% of this one job at the typical price of $1,300. Koira Office, which covers the must-haves for plumbers, is free, so the software takes nothing out of this job.
