Why contractors switch
4 reasons solo contractors
choose FieldPay over Jobber
1
The price doesn't escalate
Jobber's Core plan is $39/mo for one user. The moment you add a worker you jump to $169/mo minimum for a team plan. FieldPay adds workers at $10/mo each — a 3-person crew pays $44/mo total, not $169+.
2
No app store download needed
FieldPay works in any phone's browser — iPhone or Android. No app store, no updates, no storage. Open fieldpayapp.com and you're invoicing. Add it to your home screen for a full native app experience.
3
Your customers can pay how they want
Jobber uses Jobber Payments for card processing. FieldPay shows PayPal, CashApp, Venmo, cash, and check on every invoice — plus credit card via PayPal with no PayPal account needed. Customers pay the way that's easiest for them.
4
5 minutes to set up, not 5 hours
Jobber is a full field service platform with scheduling, CRM, GPS tracking, and marketing tools. Setting it up properly takes hours. FieldPay takes 5 minutes — add your business info, payment handles, and send your first invoice.

I looked at Jobber and it was way more than I needed. I'm one guy doing HVAC service calls — I don't need GPS dispatch or online booking. I need to send an invoice and get paid. FieldPay does exactly that for $24 a month. Done.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the best Jobber alternative for small contractors? +
FieldPay is a popular alternative to Jobber for solo contractors and small crews. It costs $24/month vs Jobber's $39-$599/month, requires no app store download, and focuses on the core features most contractors actually need — mobile invoicing, digital payments, and automatic follow-up reminders.
Is FieldPay cheaper than Jobber? +
Yes. FieldPay is $24/month for a solo contractor — $15/month cheaper than Jobber's Core plan at $39/month. For small crews the savings are much larger. A 3-person crew on FieldPay (owner + 2 workers) pays $44/month total vs $169+ on Jobber's team plan.
What features does FieldPay have that Jobber doesn't? +
FieldPay supports PayPal, CashApp, and Venmo as payment options on every invoice — Jobber only supports Jobber Payments. FieldPay also lets customers pay by credit card through PayPal with no PayPal account required, requires no app store download, and can be set up in 5 minutes instead of hours.
What does Jobber have that FieldPay doesn't? +
Jobber has GPS tracking, online booking, route optimization, QuickBooks and Xero sync, and a full CRM. These are valuable features for larger field service operations. If you run a 10+ person team and need scheduling, dispatch, and marketing tools, Jobber may be worth the higher price. If you mainly need to invoice and get paid, FieldPay is more than enough at a fraction of the cost.
