Why businesses switch from Jobber
Jobber is one of the best-known field-service platforms in North America. For a UK owner-run business the question is usually fit: Jobber is a broad platform priced in US dollars and built around the North American market, while WrkGenie is shaped for UK sole traders and small teams.
- • UK-first pricing and conventions. Pay in pounds, invoice in UK formats, with VAT handled the way UK trades expect — no dollar pricing or North American defaults.
- • Predictable plan pricing. WrkGenie Core is £19.99/month for 1 user; Pro is £39.99/month for 3 users.
- • Native mobile + web included. iPhone, Android and the web app are all included — no separate mobile charge.
- • Bounded poor-signal resilience. Customers, quotes, bookings and invoices stay available when the signal drops, then sync when you're back online.
- • Start with one job. Start with one customer and quote, then check the invoicing workflow before moving more work across.
Choose Jobber if…
Jobber is a genuinely deep platform. If you run a multi-person team (5–15+ staff) and want marketing tools, an AI receptionist, financing and a sales pipeline under one roof, Jobber's breadth may outweigh its cost and complexity.
If your business already depends on QuickBooks Online sync and Jobber's app marketplace integrations, staying in that ecosystem can be the pragmatic choice.
If your whole team is trained on Jobber and years of job history live there, the switching cost is real and may not be worth it.
Choose WrkGenie if…
- • UK sole traders. One van, one phone, a full week of jobs — WrkGenie is priced and designed for that scale.
- • Small teams on Pro. Pro includes 3 users for £39.99/month. Moving from Core to Pro changes your monthly price.
- • Simplicity over breadth. Keep quotes, scheduling and invoicing in one connected workflow.
- • UK fit. Pound pricing, UK VAT handling and trade conventions without adapting a North American product.
- • Bounded poor-signal work. Keep the core workflow moving on site, even when the signal doesn't.
WrkGenie keeps customer → quote → booking → invoice → payment connected

One record from customer to paid
What changes in a working day
The practical difference is usually less admin, fewer handoffs, and a clearer next step when you are on the move.
Quoting on the road
Before: Quoting feels like a desktop task that interrupts site work.
With WrkGenie: You quote from your phone while the customer is still in front of you.
Admin after the job
Before: Invoicing and chasing become a separate evening task.
With WrkGenie: The accepted quote becomes a job and invoice in one connected record.
Cost control
Before: You navigate USD plan tiers and user seats.
With WrkGenie: Choose Core for 1 user or Pro for 3 users, with a published monthly price for each plan.
Migrating from Jobber
The time needed depends on your customer data, open jobs and team setup. Start with one job, check the workflow, and keep your existing records available while you transition:
1. Export your customers from Jobber
Download your client list and import it into WrkGenie with names, contacts and addresses.
2. Rebuild your common services
Turn your most-quoted jobs into WrkGenie quote templates so future quotes take seconds.
3. Send your first WrkGenie quote
Run new work through WrkGenie while closing open Jobber jobs in Jobber.
4. Invoice on site and confirm the flow
Complete one quote-to-payment cycle, then move new enquiries across.
If WrkGenie sounds like a better fit, the 14-day free trial is the fastest way to find out — no contract required.
Why the switch feels worthwhile
- • One connected workflow. Customer → quote → booking → invoice → payment, all on the same record.
- • Native mobile + web. The same business on your phone and laptop, included with Core and Pro.
- • Built for the UK. Pounds, UK VAT conventions and trade workflows from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Is WrkGenie cheaper than Jobber?
It depends on your team size, required features and billing term. WrkGenie Core is £19.99/month for 1 user; Pro is £39.99/month for 3 users. Compare the matching Jobber plan and included users, allowing for its USD pricing.
Is Jobber better for bigger teams?
Often yes. Jobber's scheduling, routing, reporting and add-ons suit multi-crew operations. WrkGenie targets owner-run UK businesses that don't need that machinery.
Does Jobber work offline?
Yes. Jobber's March 2026 update documents offline job forms, access to visit details and notes, and time tracking, with changes saved locally and synced when the connection returns. WrkGenie also supports bounded offline work. Check the specific tasks you need in each app rather than assuming every feature works offline.
Can I import my Jobber customers into WrkGenie?
Yes. Export your client list from Jobber and import it into WrkGenie. Historical job records generally need to be completed or archived in Jobber.
Is WrkGenie built for the UK?
Yes — UK pricing, UK VAT handling and workflows shaped around UK trades, rather than adapted from a North American product.
