The short version
Jobber is excellent field service software, and its entry price is close to Trackara Pro's. The difference is the trade. Jobber's site names cleaning, HVAC, landscaping, lawn care, plumbing and similar home services, not auto repair. Trackara Pro is built around the vehicle: VINs, service history, OBD2, inspections, and maintenance reminders. If you run a home service business, Jobber is the better fit.
Who switches from Jobber, and why
The mechanics who move from Jobber to Trackara Pro are mostly solo mobile mechanics and small mobile teams of 1 to 5 techs: people who work out of a van or truck at the customer's driveway, fleet yard, or campground rather than in a fixed bay. These are the reasons they give most often.
Vehicles are the core record
In Trackara Pro every client has vehicles, and every vehicle has its own service history, mileage, and inspection results. Jobber is organized around properties and jobs, because that is what its home service customers need.
Mechanic tools in the same app
Bluetooth OBD2 code reading, digital inspections (photo on iOS and Android, video on iOS), frequent-job templates, and maintenance reminders tied to the vehicle.
Mileage and tax reports
Trackara Pro keeps an IRS-compliant mileage log and produces Schedule C tax reports for the miles you drive between jobs.
Adding a tech
On Jobber Core, each extra user is $29/month. On Trackara Pro, techs you assign work to are free, and a tech who needs their own login is $15/month.
When Jobber is the better fit
Trackara Pro is not built for every shop, and switching is a mistake if your business looks like this:
- You run a home service business such as cleaning, lawn care, HVAC, or plumbing.
- You need crew scheduling, a sales pipeline, or marketing tools across a larger team (Jobber Plus).
- You want the widest set of general field service integrations.
- Vehicles are not the center of your work.

Switching from Jobber to Trackara Pro
You do not need to re-type your customer list. Most mechanics switch in an afternoon and run both systems side by side for a week or two.
- Start the trial. Create your account, pick your business type, and install the app on iPhone, iPad, or Android. Your subscription also includes the web portal at shop.trackara.app.
- Export from Jobber. Download your customer list and, if you track stock, your parts list as CSV or Excel files. Jobber's support can tell you where their export lives.
- Import in the web portal. In Settings, open Data Import and Export and upload the file. There is no Jobber-specific preset yet. Use the Generic CSV / Excel mode, which auto-detects common columns like name, company, phone, email, and address. The importer handles customers with their vehicles, parts inventory, suppliers, and past invoices, quotes, and work orders, and it shows a preview with counts and sample rows before anything is saved.
- Rebuild your common jobs. Save your usual services as frequent jobs so quotes take a few taps, and set up inspection templates.
- Connect payments. Card payments run through your own Square account: Trackara Pro sends a Square-hosted payment link, and the money goes straight to you.
- Turn on mileage tracking from day one so your mileage log and tax reports start filling in.
- Cancel Jobber once your open jobs are finished and you are comfortable.
