Comparison
The Jobber alternative for solo & small trade shops.
Jobber is a solid CRM for growing home-service crews. If you're a 1–3 person shop that mainly needs to price right, know your margin, invoice, and get paid — without a per-seat bill or a cut of your card payments — BidRite is the leaner, pricing-first alternative. Job costing at $49, not $199.
| Jobber | BidRite |
|---|---|
| Job costing starts on the Grow plan at ~$199/mo | Job costing, margin & EBITDA on every job — at $49 |
| Priced per user, by tier (Core → Connect → Grow) | $49/shop flat, up to 3 techs — no per-seat tax |
| Card payments run through their payment product | Your own Square/Stripe account — no cut |
| General home-service CRM | Trade-specific flat-rate price books (real 373-task HVAC book) |
| Cloud-first | Offline-first — works with zero bars in a basement |

Built for the shop that is the crew.
You don't need a dispatcher dashboard and a per-seat bill to price a condenser fan motor and get paid. BidRite gives a small shop the pricing, margin, paperwork, and payment flow it needs first — Android-first, offline-first, and honest about your number before the quote leaves the truck.
Questions
Is BidRite a real alternative to Jobber?
For a solo or 1–3 person trade shop, yes. BidRite covers pricing, job costing, estimates, invoicing, scheduling, and payments — the core a small shop runs on — for $49/mo flat. Jobber is a broader CRM built for growing crews; if you need heavy dispatch and office workflows, Jobber may fit better.
How much is BidRite compared to Jobber?
BidRite is $49/mo flat for the whole shop, up to 3 techs, with job costing included. Jobber's Core plan is about $39/mo for one user, but job costing only arrives on the Grow plan at roughly $199/mo. Prices as of July 2026 — check current terms before you buy.
Does BidRite take a cut of my card payments like Jobber?
No. Square or Stripe payments run through your own account and settle to your bank. BidRite only bills your $49/mo subscription. Jobber processes customer payments through its own payment product.
What does Jobber do that BidRite doesn't yet?
Jobber has GPS crew tracking, richer dispatch for bigger teams, two-way text messaging, and an iOS app. BidRite is Android-first and focused on pricing and job costing for tiny shops — if those Jobber features are core to your day, Jobber is the better fit.
Is there an iPhone version of BidRite?
Not yet — BidRite is Android-first. Join the iOS waitlist and we'll email you when an iPhone build is ready.
