Jobber vs Housecall Pro for a cabinet install crew: prices and fit
Jobber and Housecall Pro are the two field-service apps cabinet installers ask about most. Both run quotes, scheduling, invoices and payments for any home-service trade. This post puts their published prices side by side for a small crew, and is plain about what a cabinet job needs that neither one is built for.
Published prices
| Plan | Users included | Monthly billing | Annual billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber Core | 1 | $49/mo | $29/mo |
| Jobber Connect | 1 | $139/mo | $99/mo |
| Jobber Grow | 1 | $199/mo | $149/mo |
| Housecall Pro Basic | 1 | $79/mo | $59/mo |
| Housecall Pro Essentials | 5 | $189/mo | $149/mo |
| Housecall Pro Max | 8, then $35/mo per extra user | $329/mo | $299/mo |
Jobber's prices above are for the "Just me" team size; its page reprices every plan when you pick a larger team, so a crew of three or five should read the page with its own team size selected. Housecall Pro includes users in the plan: one on Basic, five on Essentials, eight on Max. Housecall Pro's page offers a 14-day free trial without a credit card.
What each one covers for an install crew
- Quotes and invoices. Both send quotes and invoices by text or e-mail and take payments online. Both work from a price book of items and services you set up.
- Scheduling. Both schedule and dispatch jobs to crew members. Housecall Pro lists routes from Essentials and one-click route optimization on Max.
- Photos and checklists. Housecall Pro lists photo reports with annotations and checklist automations from Essentials.
- QuickBooks Online. Housecall Pro lists QuickBooks Online sync from Essentials. Jobber's page lists it on Connect, as cited on our Jobber comparison.
- Breadth. Both are built for many trades. If cabinets are one service among handyman, flooring or remodeling work, a general tool keeps everything in one place.
What neither pricing page lists for cabinet work
A cabinet install has steps a general service business does not. Neither Jobber's nor Housecall Pro's pricing page lists these:
- Manufacturer price lists by SKU. A dealer quotes B24, SB36 and W3030 from the manufacturer's list, not items typed into a price book. See cabinet SKU codes explained.
- Dealer multipliers. Cost is list × the multiplier on the dealer agreement, often different by line, and it must stay off the customer's PDF.
- A kitchen drawing that becomes the box list. Walls, corners, fillers and appliances, then the boxes priced from the drawing.
- The order to the manufacturer and the delivery check. Every box counted on delivery, damaged or missing ones photographed and claimed with the distributor before the crew arrives.
- Install labor by linear foot or by box, counted from the box list. See pricing install labor by linear foot or by box.
Where Cabinet Project fits
Cabinet Project is for dealers and crews whose work is mostly cabinets. It keeps the quote-to-invoice path these apps have, with scheduling, a punch list with photos, invoices, card payments in the customer portal and QuickBooks Online sync, and adds the cabinet part: price lists and multipliers, the layout, the order and the delivery check. It is priced per company, not per seat: Solo is $59 a month for one user, and Team is $99 a month for three, each with a 14-day free trial without a card.
Which one is right depends on the business. A handyman or remodeler doing some cabinets is often better served by a general tool. A crew that installs kitchens every week spends its time on the steps neither general tool lists.
