Cutsheet vs. Jobber for Lawn Care Businesses

Jobber and Cutsheet are both field-service platforms built for home-service businesses, but they differ in how they're priced and how they handle inbound work. Per Jobber's own help documentation (current as of this writing — verify on Jobber's site, as help-doc terminology can change), Jobber tracks inbound customer inquiries as a "Request," which it labels internally as a "Lead" once qualified — a single object type used regardless of where that inquiry came from.

Cutsheet starts with a free tier: $0/month for up to 25 jobs a month and 25 active customers, with online payments at a 3% transaction fee and no time limit on how long you stay on it. Upgrading to Pro ($59/month, or $49/month billed annually) drops that transaction fee to 1% on every job you invoice — the main reason growing operators upgrade — and also unlocks unlimited jobs, customers, and crew seats, recurring schedules, automated payment reminders, advanced reporting, a customer portal, Cutsheet Opportunities access, and removes the "Powered by Cutsheet" branding on your contractor website. A custom domain is a one-time $149 setup fee on either plan.

Jobber publishes its own pricing separately and it's worth checking their current plans directly, since public SaaS pricing changes — this page isn't going to guess at a number we can't verify live. What's structurally comparable is the free-to-start path: Cutsheet's free tier is a full working plan, not a time-boxed trial, which matters if you want to run real jobs on it before committing to a paid seat.

On leads specifically: Cutsheet's platform-sourced Opportunities carry a disclosed 12% fee instead of the standard rate, which is separate from — and higher than — the 1-3% transaction fee on jobs you source yourself.
