✗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.
Flooring Installers are leaving Jobber every week.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for Flooring Installers
You're on day two of a hardwood install. The subfloor in the hallway is uneven — you need to add leveling compound, which wasn't in the quote. The homeowner is watching and asking why it's taking longer than expected. Your next job starts tomorrow but you won't finish here until Thursday. You've got $1,200 in flooring materials on your card and haven't invoiced last week's tile job yet.
Flooring Installers face unique challenges: Estimating material waste percentages for odd-shaped rooms. Multi-day installs blocking other scheduled work. Tracking material costs when the customer supplies vs you supply. Subfloor surprises adding unquoted hours to a job. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median flooring installer earns $43,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Flooring nailer and stapler 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.

Why flooring installers leave the big platforms
jobber: Service-call software for a project-based trade. The scheduling doesn't handle multi-day installs properly.
quickbooks: I calculate cost per square foot, not chart of accounts. QBO doesn't speak flooring.
housecall-pro: Too expensive for tight flooring margins. When you're competing on price per square foot, $129/month hurts.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for flooring installers?
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.
