Honest comparison of QuotePilot vs Jobber for UK tradespeople. Pricing, voice quoting, customer portal, and who each product is actually built for.
Jobber is a mature, well-designed platform built around scheduling, dispatch, and running a team. It has a genuine customer hub, solid payments, and a polished mobile app. The problem for most UK sole traders is that Core starts around £29/month, the plan with client communication and online payments jumps to ~£79/month, and you'll be managing scheduling workflows you don't need. Jobber is headquartered in Canada and was built for North American field service — the UK feels like a secondary market, and features like certificates and compliance documentation relevant to UK tradespeople (Gas Safe, NICEIC, etc.) are absent. If you're running a crew of 5+ and need job dispatch, GPS tracking, and timesheet management, Jobber is excellent. If you're a sole trader who needs to quote fast and look professional, you'll pay for a lot you'll never use.

Yes. QuotePilot's Trade plan is £7.99/month. Jobber Core starts around £29/month and the plan that includes client communication and online payments is ~£79/month. For a sole trader, that's a significant cost difference with no meaningful feature gap for your use case.
