What Jobber users wish it had
No way to pass credit card fees to customers — contractors eat 2.9% on every payment
QuickBooks sync breaks constantly — a top complaint across G2 and Reddit
No HVAC-specific features — equipment tracking, refrigerant logs, and aging alerts simply do not exist
Gets expensive fast — $169/month for 5 users vs $49/month for HVQuote
Quoting is weak for HVAC — Good/Better/Best requires workarounds
Based on publicly available reviews on G2, Capterra, and Reddit.
Bottom line
Our verdict
Jobber is a well-built general field service tool with a good mobile app. But it was not built for HVAC — and for a 3–5 tech team you will pay $169/month for features that are not HVAC-specific. HVQuote is $49/month, built specifically for HVAC, and includes equipment tracking, refrigerant logs, and quote view tracking that Jobber simply does not have.
