Jobber vs ConvertLabs: Which Is Better for a House Cleaning Business?

Jobber vs ConvertLabs: Which Is Better for a House Cleaning Business?

Jobber is one of the best-known names in home-service software, and plenty of cleaning companies run on it. It's polished, it has strong mobile apps, and it covers a lot of ground, from quotes to invoices to payroll sync.

But Jobber is built for a wide range of trades: landscapers, plumbers, HVAC techs, pressure washers and cleaners. A residential cleaning company works differently. Most of your revenue is recurring. Customers want an instant price, not a quote. And the payment you care about most is the one that happens automatically after every clean.

So if you're searching "Jobber for cleaning business," the real question is whether a general field-service tool or a cleaning-first booking platform fits how you actually make money. This guide compares Jobber and ConvertLabs side by side, including where Jobber is the better pick. Want to follow along in the app? Start your free trial of ConvertLabs.

Jobber and ConvertLabs at a glance

What Jobber does well

Jobber says 400,000+ home service pros use it, and it has a dedicated cleaning business page. Its strengths are real:

• Quoting: quote templates, optional line items (like add-on deep cleans or interior windows), e-signatures and automatic quote follow-ups.

• Scheduling: recurring visits are created automatically, plus route optimization, GPS tracking and a "Find a Time" tool that suggests openings based on team availability and drive time.

• Team tools: a mobile app with checklists, notes, photos and time tracking, including breaks and drive time.

• Integrations: 100+ apps in its marketplace, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gusto and Zapier.

• Website: a website builder is included on every plan, with booking and request forms.

Jobber's pricing page lists four plans: Core, Connect, Grow and Plus. Price depends on how many users you need and how you pay (month to month, monthly with a 1-year commitment, or annual). Jobber counts a user as "anyone who accesses your account at the office or in the field to view or manage the team's schedule," and extra users are $29/month each.

Jobber Payments charges 2.9% + 30¢ for online card payments, 2.7% + 30¢ for Tap to Pay and 1% for ACH bank payments, with an optional 1% fee for instant payouts. Add-ons include Marketing Suite ($99/mo), an AI Receptionist ($29/mo) and Pipeline ($49/mo). There's a 14-day free trial on the Grow plan with no credit card required.

What ConvertLabs does well

ConvertLabs is booking, payments and website software built with cleaning operators. It's used by 1,000+ service businesses and has booked 300K+ jobs, according to convertlabs.io. The goal is one dashboard for the whole operation: website, booking form, scheduler, payments, cleaner app and marketing.

Plans on the pricing page (billed monthly, 7-day trial, no contracts or cancellation fees):

• Basic, $67/month: website included, customer and service provider portals, up to 5 service providers, up to $5,000 in monthly revenue, email support.

What it really costs at 10 cleaners

This is where the two tools differ the most. Jobber's price is tied to users, and a user is anyone who views or manages the schedule, in the office or in the field. If every cleaner uses the app to see their jobs, every cleaner counts.

Here's a simple example for a cleaning company with 10 cleaners plus an owner who wants automatic payments on recurring cleans (Connect or higher on Jobber):

• Jobber Connect, 15 users: $399/mo month to month, or $299/mo billed annually.

• Jobber Grow, 15 users: $499/mo month to month, or $399/mo billed annually.

• ConvertLabs Professional: $197/mo month to month, covering up to 15 service providers plus 3 admin and 3 staff accounts.

Depending on how many office staff and field users you have, a smaller Jobber tier may cover you, so check your own user count.

Over a year, the gap adds up to a few thousand dollars, before any add-ons. That said, Jobber's Core plan at $29/mo (annual) is cheaper than ConvertLabs if you're a solo cleaner who doesn't need automatic payments yet.

The real difference: how cleaning customers book and pay

Instant booking instead of quote-and-wait

Jobber shines when every job needs a quote. Its quote templates, optional line items and follow-ups are some of the best in the industry. That's a big deal for remodelers and landscapers, and useful for one-off deep cleans or move-outs.

Most residential cleaning customers, though, just want a price and a time slot. On a ConvertLabs online booking form, a visitor picks their service, bedrooms, bathrooms and frequency, sees the price on the spot and books with a card. Frequency discounts, promo codes and gift cards apply at checkout. The fewer steps between "how much?" and "booked," the fewer leads you lose.

Card held at booking, charged when the clean is done

Both tools can charge a saved card automatically on recurring work. On Jobber, automatic payments are available on recurring jobs for Jobber Payments users on Connect and up, and they follow the invoicing schedule you set on the job.

On ConvertLabs, you can authorize the card when the client books, and it's charged automatically once the job is complete. Recurring visits generate themselves after each completed clean and can keep the same cleaner assigned. You can also charge fees for late cancellations and same-day bookings, which matters a lot when a lockout costs you a cleaner's afternoon.

Victoria Westcott, co-founder of Oak Bay Clean, describes it this way: "On Convertlabs the card is held at booking, charged automatically when the job is complete, and recurring visits run on their own once they're set up. Chasing payments is basically off our plate."

Who each tool fits best

Jobber may be the better fit if you:

• Quote most jobs, or mix cleaning with other services like pressure washing or landscaping

• Want deep accounting and payroll syncs with QuickBooks Online, Xero or Gusto

• Are a solo cleaner who wants the lowest entry price on an annual plan

• Need route optimization and detailed time tracking across many daily stops

ConvertLabs may be the better fit if you:

• Run a residential cleaning company where most revenue is recurring

• Want customers to see a price and book instantly, without a quote step

• Want cards held at booking and charged automatically when the clean is done

• Have a growing team and don't want your bill to rise every time you hire a cleaner

• Want a cleaning-focused support team and a community of cleaning owners sharing what works

How to switch from Jobber to ConvertLabs

Step 1: Export your clients

Export your client list and job history from Jobber. The ConvertLabs team can walk you through bringing your clients and bookings over.

Step 2: Rebuild recurring schedules

List each recurring client's frequency, day, arrival window, price and assigned cleaner. In ConvertLabs, set the frequency on the next upcoming booking and future visits generate automatically. Turn on "Carry on Service Providers" so the same cleaner stays assigned. Run both systems in parallel for a week so no visit slips.

Step 3: Handle saved cards

Cards saved in Jobber Payments can't be exported in a spreadsheet. The simplest path is to send each client a secure credit card link from ConvertLabs, which attaches the card to their booking and future recurrences. If you'd rather move stored cards, ask ConvertLabs support about your options.

Step 4: Go live

Point your domain to your new ConvertLabs site, update the booking link on your Google Business Profile and in your emails, and let clients know about the new booking portal. If you're on a Jobber annual or 1-year commitment plan, time the switch near your renewal date.

The bottom line

Jobber is a strong, well-built platform, and it's a great fit for quote-heavy or multi-trade businesses. If you run a residential cleaning company built on recurring visits, instant online booking and automatic payments, ConvertLabs is built around exactly that, and its flat pricing doesn't climb every time you add a cleaner.
