Why Auto Detailers Leave Jobber

✗Per-user pricing scales expensively ($29/user/month)
✗Marketing Suite is extra $79/month on lower tiers
✗Job costing only on Grow plan
✗Expense tracking locked to higher tiers
✗Real cost often $300-600/month for small teams
✗I recently canceled two subscriptions. HouseCall Pro is far superior. This company held me hostage for $8,250 for seven days claiming it was my first
✗Jobber is an overengineered platform that still lacks basic functionality. Confirmation emails cannot include a clear list of services being provided.
✗Their pricing could use some help. Features locked to higher tier should be included as default.
Auto Detailers are leaving Jobber every week.

You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Auto Detailers

You pull up to a client's house at 8am with your mobile rig. Full interior/exterior detail, quoted at $350. The client asks if you can do a ceramic coating too — that's another $400 but you need to check your product inventory. You text your 11am to confirm but they don't respond. By noon you're finishing the detail, need to invoice, and realize you've been using Square this whole time but it doesn't track which products you used or calculate your actual profit per job.

Auto Detailers face unique challenges: Urable charges $60+/month and it's the only detailing-specific software. Managing upsells (ceramic coating add-ons, engine bay, headlight restoration). Tracking product costs per job — a full correction detail uses $30+ in product. No-shows when you've already driven 30 minutes to the client's location. Seasonal income swings — dead in winter, slammed spring through fall. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median auto detailer earns $38,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Dual-action polisher (Rupes, Griots) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for auto detailers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Jobber may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Jobber is $69/month — that's $2,778 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Jobber data?

Export your data from Jobber as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
