Why Well Drillers Leave Jobber

✗Per-user pricing scales expensively ($29/user/month)
✗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.
Well Drillers are leaving Jobber every week.

You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Well Drillers

A new well starts with the site: where the house and septic system are, how far the well has to be from them by code, and what the neighbours' wells say about the depth to water. Permits come before the rig moves. Drilling day is loud and messy: the rig bores down through soil and rock, we log what comes up at each depth, and we keep going until we hit a water-bearing layer that yields enough for the household. Then casing goes in and is sealed at the top so surface water can't contaminate the well, followed by a flow test to measure the yield. The pump, pressure tank and wiring complete the system, and the water is tested for bacteria and minerals before anyone drinks it. Service calls are the other half of the work: no water, low pressure, a pump that has failed, a pressure switch or tank that's waterlogged, and the occasional contaminated well that needs shocking and retesting. The rig and its equipment are enormous investments, and I bill new wells by the foot drilled plus the pump and materials.

Well Drillers face unique challenges: Per-foot pricing with unknown total depth. Equipment maintenance on rigs worth $100K+. Permit requirements and lead times. Customer expectations when drilling hits rock or poor water. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median well driller earns $55,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Drilling rig 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.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for well drillers?

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.
