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.

Why This Matters for House Cleaners
I clean four houses on a good day, and each one has its own list. Regular clients get the same routine every visit: kitchen and bathrooms first because they take the longest, then dusting top to bottom, then floors last so I'm not walking dirt over what I've done. I learn every house: which counters are marble and can't take anything acidic, which dog sheds, which client wants the beds made with hospital corners. A first-time deep clean is a different animal, baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, the grime behind the toilet, and it can take three times as long as a regular visit, so I quote it separately after a walkthrough. Move-out cleans have a landlord's checklist behind them and a deposit riding on the result. I carry my own supplies and swap microfiber cloths by room so the bathroom rag never touches the kitchen. The hard parts are the drive between houses, the client who cancels the night before, and keeping a key or door code for every home safe. At the end of the week I'm filling next month's schedule and chasing the one client who always pays late.
House Cleaners face unique challenges: Managing recurring biweekly and monthly schedules across 20+ homes. Last-minute cancellations that leave gaps in the day. Getting paid consistently — chasing checks and Venmo requests. Tracking supply expenses when you buy from three different stores. ZenMaid charges $49/month and still doesn't do invoicing well. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median house cleaner earns $32,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Vacuum (commercial-grade Miele or Dyson) 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 house cleaners leave the big platforms
zenmaid: It's $49/month just for scheduling. Invoicing is basic. That's $588/year for one feature.
launch27: Interface is dated. Support is slow. Feels like software from 2015.
housecall-pro: Way too complex for cleaning. Built for plumbers and electricians, not someone managing recurring house cleans.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for house cleaners?
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 $49/month — that's $1,764 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.
