Fieldfare and Jobber side by side
Jobber is made for home service businesses of every kind, and most of its features are about winning and billing customers. Fieldfare is made for UK gardening, landscaping and grounds maintenance teams with staff.
Prices and features come from each company's website in October 2026. Jobber's prices are in US dollars, before tax. For the wider field, see our roundup of the best gardening software.

What an owner and five staff pay
On Jobber's Connect plan, five users are $199 a month on monthly billing, or $149 a month paid a year up front, and the sixth adds $29 a month, so $228 or $178. Grow, which adds automatic time tracking, job costing and two-way texting, starts at $299 a month for five users.
Fieldfare is £49 a month for the same six, and still £49 when three seasonal staff join in spring. Subcontractors get their own login too and only see the jobs assigned to them. Storage is 50 GB, then £5 a month for each extra 50 GB.
A sole trader paying annually will find Jobber's Core plan cheaper. Past that, each extra person on Jobber costs another $29 a month.
Staff tools Jobber doesn't list
With five staff, much of the weekly admin is about them: who clocked in at 7.30, who is off the week after next, which van is due its MOT and who hasn't signed the new COSHH assessment. Jobber lists no holiday or van tools. Fieldfare has:
- Clocking in and out on the phone, with odd times flagged and a payroll export.
- Holiday allowances and bookings on one calendar, with bank holidays for England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- A RAMS and COSHH library with staff sign-offs, site assessments and spray records against each job.
- Van MOT, tax, insurance and service dates flagged before they lapse, and who drives each van.
- Contracts with values and renewal dates, linked to the regular jobs they cover.

Where Jobber is stronger
Jobber's customer tools are excellent: online quote approval, card payments, a client hub, automatic follow-ups, route optimisation and over 100 integrations. If most of your week goes on chasing quotes and payments, it does more of that for you.
Fieldfare doesn't take card payments. Clients pay into your bank or through Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, with no per-payment fees, and it reads those invoices and payments back so each client's history is complete. There's no route optimiser either. The map shows the day's jobs and where staff are heading, and you set the order knowing which client wants you there before nine.
Moving across from Jobber
Export your clients from Jobber as a spreadsheet and bring them in with the Excel or CSV import. Set up each regular visit once as a recurring job, add your staff and let them try the app on a few real visits.
Export your invoices and job history from Jobber before you cancel, for tax records. Winter is the easiest time to switch, while the round is quiet.
