Verdict in 80 words

Choose QuoteIQ if you want flat-rate pricing without per-user fees (especially valuable as you hire) and you’re an affiliate evaluating the strongest recurring commission in the category (40%). Choose Jobber if you value the broader integration ecosystem, the mature customer-hub experience, and the established PartnerStack network. Both are generalists at similar scale; the decision usually comes down to pricing structure preference.

How they differ

QuoteIQ has flat-rate, no-per-user pricing ($29.99–$699/mo). Jobber has per-user tiered pricing ($39–$459/mo). On the surface, Jobber is cheaper at solo scale ($39 vs $29.99 — actually QuoteIQ is cheaper) but QuoteIQ stays flat as you grow.

Pricing scaling:

  • QuoteIQ Essentials $29.99 (1 user) → Max $699 (unlimited)
  • Jobber Core $39 (1 user) → Plus $459 (30 users)

For a 5-tech team: QuoteIQ Beginner $74.99 or Pro $149.99. Jobber Connect $129. Close.

Affiliate:

  • QuoteIQ: 40% recurring (confirmed)
  • Jobber: PartnerStack (recurring historically; terms private)

Choose QuoteIQ if

  • Flat-rate pricing matters to you
  • You’re scaling beyond 5 techs and don’t want per-user escalation
  • You’re evaluating affiliate program economics — 40% recurring is rare
  • You do pool service alongside many other trades

Choose Jobber if

  • You value the broadest third-party integration ecosystem
  • You want the most mature customer-hub experience
  • You want established PartnerStack network access
  • You prefer transparent published tier structure

Where they’re equal

Both are multi-trade generalists. Both publish pricing (rare in the category). Both have mobile apps, QuickBooks integration, mobile dispatch. Neither has native pool chemistry tracking.

Limitations of both

Neither matches Skimmer for chemistry depth. Neither matches Pool Brain for enterprise. For pool-only operations needing chemistry workflows, look at Skimmer.

Jobber vs QuoteIQ — common questions

Which is cheaper, Jobber or QuoteIQ?

Can I migrate from Jobber to QuoteIQ (or vice versa)?

Both vendors offer some form of data import help, but migration is rarely zero-effort. Plan 2–4 weeks for migration; expect historical chemistry/photo data to require manual mapping. Reach out to support at the target vendor before committing.
