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 remodeling company ends up on

The extras remodelers often want (customer financing, deposits at signing and customer page or portal) do not move you off Grow, though customer financing and deposits at signing are not on its plan cards. For comparison, the same list on Koira is Office (free), with no per-person fee.

Where Jobber is a good fit for remodelers

  • Grow adds optional line items and job costing, so remodelers can put an upgrade on the quote and see what each job really made.
  • 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 remodelers

Customer financing. On Jobber: not on its plan table. Affirm or Klarna sit on the pay page; the customer applies on their own phone.

Deposits at signing. On Jobber: not on its plan table. Your deposit rule is applied to every estimate and paid at signing.

Options on one estimate. On Jobber: Grow (optional line items). Koira drafts three options from your photos and price list, signed and paid on one page.

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

Worked example: a $24,000 bathroom remodel with $9,000 of materials and $7,000 of labor

A $24,000 bathroom remodel with $9,000 of materials and $7,000 of labor, on the free profit margin calculator, comes to 29.2% ($7,000 over job costs).

StepThe math
Job cost$9,000 materials + $7,000 labor + $1,000 other = $17,000
Gross profit$24,000 − $17,000 = $7,000
Gross margin$7,000 ÷ $24,000 price = 29.2%
Markup$7,000 ÷ $17,000 cost = 41.2%
Overhead share15% of $24,000 = $3,600
Net profit$7,000 − $3,600 = $3,400 (14.2%)

This job leaves $7,000 over its costs. A year of Jobber Grow for one person is $1,788, about 26% of that one job's gross profit. Koira Office is free.
