FieldN vs Jobber: field service software compared for 2026
Quick answer
Jobber is a simple, self-serve app for small home service teams. Plans start at $29 a month for one user on yearly billing, each extra user costs $29 a month, and you can sign up and start the same day.
FieldN is a bigger, connected suite: your own booking portal and customer app, smart dispatch, AMC contracts with planned visits and renewals, an equipment register, complaints with SLA timers, WhatsApp messages and full HR and payroll. Pick Jobber for a quick start with a small crew; pick FieldN when contracts, a growing team or customer booking in your own brand matter more.

How you pay
Jobber publishes its prices: the Core plan starts at $29 a month for one user on yearly billing, the Connect and Grow plans cost more, and every extra user is $29 a month. As the crew grows, the bill grows with it.

Recurring work vs AMC contracts
Jobber handles repeat work with recurring jobs — set a frequency and visits land on the calendar. FieldN goes further for companies that sell annual maintenance contracts: each contract lists the units or sites covered, plans the visits, raises the contract invoices on schedule and reminds you before renewal, and every visit adds to the service history of the equipment.
Office, HR and WhatsApp
Jobber keeps the office side light and connects to QuickBooks Online on higher plans. FieldN puts HR, attendance, leave, payroll and commissions in the same system as the jobs, adds complaints with SLA timers, and lets customers check job status, ask for a quote or pay through WhatsApp.
