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.

You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for Septic Service Operators
You pumped 4 tanks today: 3 routine ($350-$450 each) and 1 emergency backup ($550). Disposal site fee: $75 per load (4 loads today = $300). Fuel for the pump truck: $120. Your pump truck payment is $2,200/month and maintenance averages $800/month. Revenue today: $1,700. Costs today: $420. But your truck costs $3,000/month regardless. You have 200 customers who should be reminded to pump every 3 years — that reminder system is a file cabinet of index cards.
Septic Service Operators face unique challenges: Pump truck maintenance is extremely expensive ($10K+ annually). Disposal site fees per load eat into margins. Recurring service reminders (pump every 3-5 years) need CRM. Emergency calls for backups at all hours. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median septic service operator earns $55,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Pump truck 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 septic service operators leave the big platforms
jobber: $69/month for scheduling pump-outs. Recurring service reminders need actual CRM, not just scheduling.
quickbooks: $55/month and zero customer reminder capabilities for recurring multi-year service intervals.
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for septic service 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 $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.
