Jobber is built for large field service operations (20-200+ employees) across multiple trades. It has deep features like job costing, estimating, and enterprise reporting — but it charges per user and gets expensive fast.
Grassr is built specifically for small lawn care crews (1-10 people). It focuses on instant payments, simple scheduling, and crew management — free forever with no per-seat fees. You can run the whole business from your phone.
Quick version: If you have 10+ employees and need enterprise features, go with Jobber. If you're a small lawn care crew that wants to get paid instantly and stop overpaying for software, Grassr is your play.

This is the biggest difference. Jobber charges per user per month: $39 (Core), $79 (Connect), or $119 (Grow). Every person on your team adds to the bill. A solo operator on Jobber's Connect plan pays $948/year. Add two crew members and it's $2,844/year. On Grassr that's $0/year, every feature included.
Grassr's biggest single feature: when you slide to complete a job, the card on file is auto-charged and the money lands in your account. No invoice to send. No customer to chase. Jobber does invoicing well, but the workflow still requires sending and waiting. For a small crew, the time saved chasing payments is where Grassr's value actually shows up.
Grassr is mobile-first by design — you can run the whole business from your phone, including scheduling, invoicing, payments, and crew management. Jobber's mobile app exists but feels like a companion to the desktop. If your business runs out of a truck, that distinction matters.
Jobber has more features. That is both its strength and its weakness. Job costing, estimating, equipment tracking, enterprise reporting — all genuinely useful if you need them, and if you have someone with time to learn them. For a 1-10 person lawn crew, most of those features stay unused while you pay for them every month. Grassr ships the 5-10 features lawn care operators actually use daily.
Not yet — Grassr does not have an automated Jobber importer. You can add your customers manually and most operators are set up the same day. If you have hundreds of customers and need help, email hello@grassr.io and we will assist by hand while we build the importer.
Jobber offers job costing, detailed estimating and quoting, equipment tracking, automated marketing, expense tracking, and enterprise reporting. If you need those, Jobber is the better choice. If you need scheduling, payments, crew management, and customer history — Grassr covers it for $0.
Grassr runs on Supabase and Stripe — the same payment processor used by Shopify, Lyft, and Instacart (PCI-DSS Level 1). Your data is encrypted, your schedule is always available, and we take reliability seriously because your business depends on it.
Grassr is purpose-built for crews of 1-10. If you are larger, you likely need features we intentionally do not build — Jobber, Service Autopilot, or LMN will serve you better. We would rather be honest than overpromise.
Free forever. Unlimited crew. Run your whole business from your phone.
