FieldTrack · Comparison
FieldTrack vs Jobber
Jobber is a polished FSM platform built primarily for home service businesses (landscaping, cleaning, HVAC). FieldTrack is a modular field service and inventory management platform with a strong admin dashboard and engineer mobile app — built for service organisations that need serious inventory control, service contracts, and billing in one place, with the option to self-host.

Why people switch
Common reasons teams look beyond Jobber
Jobber pricing scales up steeply — the Core plan lacks features that growing teams need, forcing upgrades
Inventory management in Jobber is basic — not built for organisations managing significant parts stock
Jobber is US/Canada-centric — less suited to teams operating in other geographies
No self-hosted option — all data lives on Jobber's servers

Where FieldTrack leads
Why teams choose FieldTrack over Jobber
Serious inventory management built in
FieldTrack treats inventory as a first-class feature — stock levels, parts assignment to jobs, and reorder tracking are core to the platform. Jobber's inventory is an add-on afterthought, sufficient for light usage but not for service companies managing meaningful parts inventory.
Service contracts as a native module
FieldTrack has a dedicated service contracts module — linking contracts to customers, engineers, and billing. Jobber handles recurring jobs but doesn't have a structured contracts layer.
Self-hosted deployment available
For organisations with data residency requirements or operating in regions where SaaS connectivity is a concern, FieldTrack can be deployed on your own infrastructure. Jobber is SaaS-only.
Granular access control
FieldTrack's role-based access control lets you define exactly what each admin and engineer can see and do. Jobber's permission model is simpler and less granular.
Be honest
Where Jobber has the edge
More polished consumer-facing tools
Jobber has excellent client-facing features — online booking, client hub, automated review requests. If your business relies heavily on consumer self-service, Jobber's customer experience tools are more mature.
Larger integration ecosystem
Jobber integrates with QuickBooks, Stripe, Mailchimp, and a wide range of tools out of the box. FieldTrack's integration surface is smaller.
Faster setup for small teams
Jobber is designed to get a 1-5 person operation live in hours. FieldTrack is more powerful but takes longer to configure for complex operations.
