A register of every unit you service
In Jobber, properties hold an address, a tax rate and custom fields (Jobber help). FieldEx keeps each customer's sites and assets in one hierarchy, with parent and child components, warranty dates and QR labels.
Looking for a Jobber alternative? How FieldEx compares
For service teams whose work now includes customers' equipment: assets, maintenance plans, stock, assignment and service levels compared, with every Jobber claim sourced.
Jobber is an easy, well-reviewed tool for home-service businesses that quote, schedule, invoice and get paid. FieldEx is a field service and asset management (FSM+CMMS) application. As a Jobber alternative, it suits teams that have grown into equipment maintenance. It brings an asset register, maintenance on dates and meter readings, technician stock and automatic assignment into one product.
If your work is straightforward trades jobs (quote, do the job, invoice), Jobber may be a better fit. FieldEx is for businesses whose operations are more complex than single-trade field service tools can handle.

What Jobber does well
Jobber is simple to start, priced in the open for small teams and strong on the customer's side of the job.
Open prices for small teams. Plans run from US$29 a month (Core, one user, billed annually) to US$529 (Plus, 15 users), as of 14 Oct 2026 (Jobber pricing).
A free trial. 14 days on the Grow plan, with no credit card (Jobber pricing).

Why teams switch from Jobber to FieldEx
Teams move when the equipment they look after, not just the client, becomes the center of the work.
Maintenance on meter readings, not just dates
Jobber's recurring jobs repeat visits on the schedule you set (Jobber help). FieldEx plans run on dates, meter readings or whichever comes first, create the work order ahead of its due date and reschedule missed visits. Fixed calendar dates apply to time-based plans.
Stock you can see per technician
When Jobber syncs with QuickBooks Online, quantity on hand is updated in QuickBooks as invoices sync (Jobber help). FieldEx tracks each technician's stock and its movements, with requests and transfers approved in stages.
Jobs that find the right technician
In Jobber you choose the team for each job, and online bookings go to an available team member at random (Jobber help). FieldEx matches each job on skills, zone and availability, then the nearest, least busy technician.
Service levels you can prove
FieldEx applies a service-level package to each job, times every stage against your business hours and warns you before a breach.
Contracts tied to the equipment
FieldEx contracts link a customer to the specific assets they cover and the maintenance plans for each one.
Checklists that raise the next job
Jobber's checklists record the work and can be shared with customers (Jobber). In FieldEx, a checklist answer can raise a follow-up job and update the asset's status.
Fault reports by QR code
Jobber's request forms sit on your website, social media or client hub (Jobber pricing). A FieldEx QR label on the equipment lets anyone report a fault without logging in, and the report becomes an assigned work order (FieldEx Pricing).

How much does Jobber cost for a larger team?

With FieldEx, the asset register, maintenance plans and technician stock are in the subscription, and standard setup and training cost nothing extra. Once we know your requirements and your data is ready, FieldEx can be implemented in as little as a week with standard features for small businesses.
