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.
Pest Control Operators are leaving Jobber every week.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for Pest Control Operators
Most of my work is recurring service: homes and businesses on quarterly or monthly plans, where I treat the exterior perimeter, check bait stations and inspect for new activity. A new customer starts with an inspection, because the treatment depends on what I find: ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, wasps, termites or bed bugs each need a different approach, and identifying the pest correctly is half the job. I'm looking for how they're getting in and what's attracting them, moisture, food, gaps around pipes and doors, because fixing those conditions matters as much as the treatment. Products are regulated; I follow the label, keep application records for every job, and I'm careful around kids, pets and food areas. Some jobs are one-time, like a wasp nest or a mouse problem, and some become ongoing plans. Commercial accounts, restaurants and warehouses, need documentation for their own inspections. I carry a state licence with continuing education, and my route is planned so I'm not crossing town twice. Most customers pay per visit or on a service agreement billed automatically.
Pest Control Operators face unique challenges: Tracking chemical application records for state compliance. Managing recurring quarterly and monthly treatment schedules. PestPac is expensive and built for large operations. Customers calling with pest emergencies between scheduled treatments. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median pest control operator 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 Backpack sprayer and power sprayer 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 pest control operator
Most of my work is recurring service: homes and businesses on quarterly or monthly plans, where I treat the exterior perimeter, check bait stations and inspect for new activity. A new customer starts with an inspection, because the treatment depends on what I find: ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, wasps, termites or bed bugs each need a different approach, and identifying the pest correctly is half the job. I'm looking for how they're getting in and what's attracting them, moisture, food, gaps around pipes and doors, because fixing those conditions matters as much as the treatment. Products are regulated; I follow the label, keep application records for every job, and I'm careful around kids, pets and food areas. Some jobs are one-time, like a wasp nest or a mouse problem, and some become ongoing plans. Commercial accounts, restaurants and warehouses, need documentation for their own inspections.

Why pest control operators leave the big platforms
pestpac: $150+/month designed for enterprise pest control. Solo operators get the same bloated, expensive software.
jobber: Generic service software. No chemical tracking, no EPA compliance logging, no recurring treatment scheduling built-in.
housecall-pro: No pest-specific features. I need to track what I sprayed, where, and when — for the state inspector, not marketing.
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for pest control operators?
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.
