ServCTRL is a Jobber alternative without the seat math.
Jobber is a polished, mature tool, and for a lot of businesses it’s a fine choice. The friction shows up as you grow: plans are priced by seats and tiers, so the features you want and the people you hire keep moving the bill. ServCTRL is one flat price with everything in it.
Free during beta. No demo call, no credit card, no contract.

Credit where due. Pick Jobber over ServCTRL if these matter to your shop:
- You need a native QuickBooks Online sync today. ServCTRL exports CSV; Jobber syncs directly.
- You want consumer financing, a marketing suite, and an AI receptionist from one vendor. Jobber sells all of it as add-ons.
- You run recurring-route work like lawn care or cleaning. Jobber is built for that model; ServCTRL deliberately is not.
- You want a long-established product with years of reviews behind it. ServCTRL is new and says so.
Pick ServCTRL if this is the shape of your shop:
- You’re a 2–10 person service-call shop and you want one price that doesn’t move when you hire.
- You quote flat-rate from a price book and want Good/Better/Best on the bid without a top-tier plan.
- You bill what the customer signed: the bid, the change orders you added on site, a deposit up front, and part of the job as the work moves along. No timesheets.
- You want to be quoting real jobs the afternoon you sign up, with a seeded price book and no onboarding project.
Pick Jobber if…
A growing business that wants marketing, financing, and accounting integrations from one mature vendor, and doesn’t mind per-seat pricing.
Pick ServCTRL if…
A small flat-rate service shop that wants one tool to take a job from the first call to the paid invoice, at one flat price.
Questions, answered.
Can I move my customer list over from Jobber?
Yes. Export your clients from Jobber as a CSV and import them on the People page. Beta shops get a hand with bigger migrations; just ask.
Does ServCTRL do everything Jobber does?
No, and it doesn’t try to. There’s no marketing suite, no financing, no route scheduling, and no QuickBooks sync yet. ServCTRL takes a service-call shop from the first call to the paid invoice, and it stops there.
Is the $99 price locked?
Founding beta shops lock in a lifetime discount. The listed price after beta is $99/mo flat for the whole shop.
