Your Jobber subscription has cost you $0.00 since you opened this page.
✗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.
Concrete Contractors are leaving Jobber every week.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for Concrete Contractors
You've got a driveway pour at 7am. The ready-mix truck is scheduled for 7:30 and you're praying it doesn't rain. Your next job — a stamped patio — needs an estimate tonight because the client is choosing between you and another guy. You bought $200 in color hardener yesterday and forgot to add it to the job cost. By the end of the week, you've poured three slabs and have no idea which job was actually profitable.
Concrete Contractors face unique challenges: Weather delays ruining pours and cascading the schedule. Material costs fluctuating — concrete prices change monthly. Collecting deposits before ordering materials. Quoting flatwork vs decorative at very different margins. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median concrete contractor earns $48,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Bull float and hand floats 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.

A day in the life of a concrete contractor
You've got a driveway pour at 7am. The ready-mix truck is scheduled for 7:30 and you're praying it doesn't rain. Your next job — a stamped patio — needs an estimate tonight because the client is choosing between you and another guy. You bought $200 in color hardener yesterday and forgot to add it to the job cost. By the end of the week, you've poured three slabs and have no idea which job was actually profitable.

Why concrete contractors leave the big platforms
jobber: Concrete work isn't a one-hour service call. Jobber doesn't handle multi-phase projects with material ordering and weather holds.
quickbooks: I pour concrete. I don't need general ledger accounting. Give me estimates, invoicing, and expense tracking.
housecall-pro: Designed for guys who go to houses and fix things. Concrete is project-based construction, not dispatched service.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for concrete contractors?
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.
