Jobber is simple field-service software for solo & small teams. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.
MEPSub is free for up to 3 users, then $15 per user plus only the module packs you need (everything is $48 per user), with real job costing and the entire construction layer Jobber has none of.
