Jobber is a popular field service platform used by plumbers, electricians, landscapers, HVAC techs, and pest control companies alike. It's designed to be everything to everyone — which means it's designed specifically for nobody. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife: handy for a lot of tasks, but you would not use it to carve a turkey. When your business is pest control, you need the carving knife.
Jobber treats every job the same — a generic task with a start time, end time, and a note field. But a quarterly general pest treatment, a termite WDO inspection, and a bed bug heat treatment are fundamentally different workflows. They have different products, different protocols, different follow-up intervals, and different documentation requirements.
PestPro CRM lets you configure service types with treatment protocols, product defaults, follow-up intervals, and service-specific documentation. Your technicians get the right workflow for every job type, not a one-size-fits-all form.
Effective pest control depends on property-specific data — construction type, known pest issues, access points, entry instructions, pet information, and special considerations. This data lives at the property level, not the customer level.
Jobber does not have this because plumbers do not need it. Landscapers do not need it. But pest control absolutely does. PestPro CRM's CRM stores detailed property profiles so your technicians arrive prepared with the full picture — every time.
Jobber's route optimization is a paid add-on on higher-tier plans, and their pricing can escalate as you add features. PestPro CRM publishes its pricing for everyone to see. No add-on fees for core features, no tier gating. Check our pricing page to see exactly what's included.
Jobber is not a bad product — it is just a general one. If your business fits any of these descriptions, Jobber's generic flexibility might actually be the right feature for you:
But if pest control is your core business — and you need software that understands the difference between a WDO inspection and a general pest treatment — PestPro CRMis built specifically for you.
Moving from Jobber to PestPro CRM is a straightforward process. Most pest control companies complete the switch in about a week.
