COMPARE · CHECKED OCTOBER 19, 2026
Jobber vs Peak
Jobber is a well-known field service app with published prices, app store apps and an AI receptionist add-on. Peak's tools are free, run on your own accounts, and come with an assistant that can act in all of them.
TL;DR
Pick Jobber if you want a well-known field service app with phone apps and AI call answering, and the monthly price fits. Pick Peak if you want the core tools free, with an assistant that does the follow-up, and you're fine with an app that installs from your phone's browser.

What Jobber's own pages said on October 19, 2026, next to what Peak does today.
| Jobber | Peak |
|---|---|
| What it covers | |
| Quotes, scheduling, invoices and payments in one app, with plans that add tools and users as you grow. | Leads and customers, estimates with e-sign and change orders, invoices, projects, crews, a dispatch board, a time clock, job photos and daily logs, plus Sherpa. |
| Pricing model | |
| Plans by tier and number of users, from $49 a month month to month. Extra users are $29 each. | The software is free. No per-user fee and no contract. You pay your own texting, email, AI and payment providers directly. |
| AI | |
| AI Receptionist answers calls and books jobs (in beta; included in Plus, $29 a month on other plans). Jobber AI also takes voice requests and answers questions from your business data. | Sherpa looks things up and makes changes in every Peak tool, from chat or from your own AI assistant. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your OK. It runs on your own AI key. |
| Phone app | |
| iPhone and Android apps in the app stores. | Installs from your phone's browser to your home screen. The crew app works offline. No App Store or Google Play app yet. |
| Your data | |
| An admin can export clients as CSV or vCard by email, on select plans. There's a public API. We didn't find an AI connector. | When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export contacts as a spreadsheet or download the whole database any time. |
| Getting started | |
| Start a 14-day trial with no card. Plus includes a dedicated onboarding specialist and help importing your data. | Sign in and start. Bring contacts and your price book over from spreadsheets. Texting, email, AI and payments start when you connect your own accounts, or we connect them for you (Get set up, $997 one-time). |

WHERE JOBBER IS STRONG
Credit where it's due.

- A public API and an app marketplace for connecting other tools
WHERE JOBBER IS AHEAD
What Peak doesn't do yet.
If one of these is a must-have, take it seriously.
- iPhone and Android apps in the app stores
- An AI receptionist that answers and books calls, which Peak's tools don't have
- Tap to Pay card payments on the phone
Everything not in the Peak tools yet
- iPhone and Android apps in the app stores (the tools install from your phone's browser today)
- QuickBooks and Xero sync
- Full job costing, estimate vs actual on every line
- Payroll
- A built-in AI phone receptionist
- AI takeoff from plans
WHERE PEAK IS DIFFERENT
What you get with Peak that Jobber doesn't do.
- The Peak tools are free, with no per-user fee. Jobber starts at $49 a month month to month for one user, and extra users are $29 each.
- Sherpa looks things up and makes changes in every Peak tool. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your OK, and you can undo a change within 10 minutes.
- Your own AI assistant, like Claude or ChatGPT, can connect to Peak. We didn't find an AI connector for Jobber.
The software is free
No per-user fee and no contract for the tools. You bring your own accounts for AI, texting, email and payments, and pay those companies directly at their prices. We don't mark them up.
Your data, your accounts
When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export it any time. If you leave, you take everything with you.
Sherpa does the work, inside rules
Tell Sherpa "add a note to Susan Park: gate goes on the north side." It finds her and adds it, or asks you to reply YES first when the rules say so. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your approval. You can see every rule, and you can only make them stricter.
A team if you want one
You can run the tools on your own. If you'd rather have help, our team runs the marketing, lead follow-up and AI setup for you on a paid plan.
Read every Sherpa rule on what Sherpa will and won't do.
SWITCHING
Moving from Jobber to Peak.
Most of it is two spreadsheets. Run both side by side for a week if you like.
Step 1
Export from Jobber
In Jobber, an admin opens Clients, then More Actions, then Export Clients, and picks CSV or vCard. It's emailed to you, up to 1,500 rows per file, and it's only on select plans. Products and services export to CSV from Settings, then Products & Services.
Step 2
Import your customers
In Peak, open Contacts and choose Import. Upload the spreadsheet and match the columns. Rows with the same email or phone merge instead of making duplicates.
Step 3
Bring your price book
The Estimator imports your items and prices from a spreadsheet. There's a template to fill in if your old export doesn't line up.
Step 4
Connect your own accounts
Hook up your texting number, email, AI key and Stripe when you're ready to send and get paid. Nothing goes out until you do.
Step 5
Finish open jobs, then switch
Let jobs already in progress finish where they are, and start new ones in Peak. Rather not do the move yourself? Our team can help.
WHAT YOU SET UP
What works the day you sign in.
The tools are free. Texting, email, AI and payments run on accounts you own, so you pay those companies directly.

- Sending estimates, invoices and messages by email. Connect your own email sending account. Nothing sends or charges until you do.
- AI
- Sherpa and AI drafts. Connect your own AI key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or a compatible provider). Nothing sends or charges until you do.
- Payments
- Card and bank payments on invoices. Connect your own Stripe account. Nothing sends or charges until you do.

Pick Jobber if
You want a well-known field service app with phone apps and AI call answering, and the monthly price fits.
Pick Peak if
You want the core tools free, with an assistant that does the follow-up, and you're fine with an app that installs from your phone's browser.
JOBBER VS PEAK
Common questions.
The Peak tools are free when sign-up opens: leads, estimates, invoices, jobs and photos, plus texting once you connect your own number. You pay your own texting, email, AI and payment providers directly. Jobber's plans started at $49 a month month to month when we checked on October 19, 2026.
Not in the free tools. Peak has missed-call text-back, which works once you connect your own texting number. AI phone answering is a service our team can set up for you.
Yes, if your Jobber plan includes client export. An admin exports clients as a CSV, and Jobber emails it. Then open Contacts in Peak and import it, and bring your products and services into the Estimator.
Not in the App Store yet. Peak installs from your phone's browser to your home screen, and the crew app works offline. Jobber has iPhone and Android apps in the stores.
