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 Window Cleaners
Most of my work is homes on a twice-a-year schedule and storefronts every two to four weeks. On a house I start with a walk around to note broken seals, screens and anything already damaged, then work outside and inside: scrubbing each pane, squeegeeing it clean with a detail cloth for the edges, and wiping the sills. Screens are removed, washed and replaced, and tracks get vacuumed and wiped. Second-storey windows mean ladders, set up carefully on level ground, or a water-fed pole with purified water for the high glass, which dries spot-free without a squeegee. Hard-water stains and construction debris need specialist products and a lot of care not to scratch the glass. Storefront routes are fast, early-morning work, done before the shops open. Weather moves my schedule, since rain and freezing temperatures push jobs back. I price homes by the window with add-ons for screens and tracks, and commercial accounts are on a regular schedule billed monthly. Most of my new work comes from neighbours seeing my ladder.
Window Cleaners face unique challenges: Scheduling recurring cleans (quarterly, biannual) across hundreds of clients. Quoting window counts sight-unseen from phone calls. Rain cancellations cascading through the week. Tracking which homes are due for their next clean. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median window cleaner earns $35,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Squeegees (multiple sizes, Ettore/Unger) 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 window cleaners leave the big platforms
jobber: I clean windows — I don't need GPS tracking and route optimization for $69/month. I know where my customers live.
housecall-pro: Overkill for window cleaning. I need recurring scheduling and simple invoicing, not a CRM empire.
square: Can't manage recurring schedules. I need to know which 200 clients are due this month.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for window 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.
