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.
Landscapers are leaving Jobber every week.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for Landscapers
From March to November I'm on a route. Mowing clients get the same day every week, and the route is planned so the trailer isn't crossing town twice. A typical stop is mow, trim along beds and fences, edge the driveway and walks, blow off the hardscape, and on to the next one in under forty minutes. The real money is in the extras I spot along the way: a bed that needs mulch, shrubs that need shaping, a drainage problem turning the lawn to mud. Spring is cleanups, aeration and seeding; fall is leaves, which can mean three visits to the same yard. Installs are separate jobs with a design, a material order and a crew for a few days: a paver patio, a planting bed, a retaining wall. Rain throws the whole week off, and I'm rescheduling a dozen customers by text. Equipment is the constant cost: mower blades sharpened every week, belts, trimmer line, and fuel for the truck and every machine. In winter I'm plowing snow if I can and planning next season's price increases before the renewal letters go out.
Landscapers face unique challenges: Managing 40-80 recurring weekly mowing accounts. Seasonal revenue swings — mowing season vs winter. Underbidding landscaping installs due to poor time tracking. Fuel and equipment maintenance costs eating margins. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median landscaper earns $38,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Commercial mower (zero-turn or stand-on) 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 landscaper

Commercial mower (zero-turn or stand-on)
String trimmers and edgers
Backpack blower (commercial grade)
Trailer with racks and trimmer mounts
Why landscapers leave the big platforms
jobber: $69/month for features designed for plumbers, not lawn guys. I mow yards — I don't need 'client communication pipelines.'
lmn: The estimating is powerful but the learning curve is brutal. Took me three weeks to set up and I'm still not using half of it.
housecall-pro: $129/month is a full day of mowing just to pay for software. My margins can't handle that.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for landscapers?
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.
