Free Jobber Alternative in 2026: Krib Covers the Core Features Jobber Charges For

Krib Team · 2026-03-22

Jobber starts at $39/month and charges $29 per additional user — costs that add up fast for small contracting teams. This guide covers genuinely free alternatives, with an honest comparison of what you give up and what you gain.

Is there a completely free alternative to Jobber?

Yes. Krib is a completely free Jobber alternative with no monthly fee, no per-user charges, and no feature limits. It includes professional quoting, scheduling, invoicing, online payments via Stripe, a customer portal, and a booking widget — covering the core features most contractors use Jobber for. The only cost is an optional ~3% fee if you collect payments through the app (Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 + Krib 0.1%). You can pass that fee to customers. Where Jobber has an edge is in ecosystem integrations (QuickBooks, Google Local Services Ads) and a longer track record.

What does Jobber cost per month?

With annual billing, Jobber costs $39/month for Core (1 user), $119/month for Connect, $199/month for Grow, and $599/month for Plus (as of early 2026). Month-to-month pricing is higher (e.g., Core is ~$69/month). Additional users cost $29/month each on most plans. A two-person team on the Connect plan costs $148/month. Pricing changes frequently — verify current rates at getjobber.com.

Can Krib replace Jobber for a small contracting team?

For most small contracting teams, yes. Krib covers every core workflow: creating and sending quotes, scheduling jobs, dispatching technicians, generating invoices, and collecting online payments. It also includes a booking widget for your website, a customer portal, photo evaluations, and team management with no per-user fees.

Does Krib have a free trial?

Krib does not need a free trial because it is free permanently. There is no credit card required to sign up, no trial period that expires, and no feature limits. You get the full product from day one.

How do I migrate my data from Jobber to Krib?

Krib does not currently have a direct Jobber import tool. Most contractors find it easiest to start fresh — customers are added automatically the first time you create a quote or job for them, so your database rebuilds naturally through normal use. The transition typically takes a few days of regular work.
