Comparison
Looking for a Jobber alternative?
Jobber is a capable, well-established product aimed at growing service businesses. If you are a solo pro or a two-to-three person crew, the honest question is whether you need that much software — and whether the price fits the size of your operation.
Where Servium is different
Servium covers the core loop: schedule the job, quote it, keep the client history, attach the photos, track who paid. It does not try to be a marketing suite or a full accounting system. That narrower scope is why it is cheaper and why there is less to learn on day one.
Price is the clearest difference
Servium has a permanently free Starter plan, with Plus at $9.99/month and Pro at $19.99/month. Jobber's published pricing starts at $39/month for a single user and rises with tiers above that. For a solo trade, that gap is the entire argument — check both providers' current pricing pages before you decide, since prices change.
What you give up
Being straight about it: Servium does not have Jobber's breadth. There is no built-in marketing automation, no client self-serve booking portal, no deep accounting integration, and the first release is online-only with no offline mode. If you need those, Jobber is the more complete product and you should pick it.
Who should actually switch
Switch if you are one person or a small crew, you mostly need jobs, quotes, clients, and payment status, and you would rather spend $10 than $39 a month for that. Stay with a bigger platform if you are running a dispatch operation, need automated recurring contracts, or depend on integrations Servium does not have.

Questions, answered
Is Servium cheaper than Jobber?
Servium's paid plans are $9.99 and $19.99 per month, and there is a free Starter plan. Jobber's published entry pricing is higher. Check both current pricing pages before deciding, as prices change.
Can I import my data from Jobber?
There is no automated Jobber import in the current release. Clients and jobs need to be entered in Servium, which is realistic for a small book of clients but a real cost if you have thousands.
Does Servium do everything Jobber does?
No, and it does not try to. Servium focuses on jobs, quotes, clients, photos, and payment status. Jobber offers a broader platform including marketing and booking features Servium does not have.
Can I try Servium before paying?
Yes. The Starter plan is free with no card, and paid plans include a 7-day free trial.
Try Servium alongside what you use now
The free plan needs no card, so you can run a week of jobs in both and decide with real data.
