The honest verdict
Choose Jobber if you run a general field-service business (lawn care, cleaning, HVAC service calls) with larger crews that need GPS tracking and QuickBooks sync — its Connect plan covers more users for less.
Choose LoadBearing if you're a roofing, siding, or exterior contractor who bids project work. Aerial measurements, supplier ordering, work orders, change orders, and per-job profit tracking are the core product — not add-ons bolted onto a generic scheduler. And solo contractors start at $35/mo, less than Jobber Core.
Why contractors switch to LoadBearing
- Order EagleView aerial measurement reports without leaving the job record — no re-keying roof squares into your estimate.
- Price materials and place ABC Supply orders directly from a job's material list.
- See true job profitability: labor, materials, subs, commissions, and change orders rolled into one breakdown per job.
- Qualify leads with an 11-point scoring system before you spend a truck roll on them.
- 3-year price-lock contract available with free data migration from your current CRM.
Frequently asked questions
Is LoadBearing cheaper than Jobber?
For solo contractors, yes — LoadBearing Basic is $35/mo versus Jobber Core at $39/mo, and it includes estimates with e-signature, invoicing with online payments, and intake forms. For mid-size teams Jobber's Connect plan covers more seats at a lower sticker price, but two-way texting and job costing push you to Jobber's $199/mo Grow plan, while LoadBearing includes job costing in Pro.
Can I migrate my data from Jobber to LoadBearing?
Yes. LoadBearing offers free data migration — clients, jobs, and estimates — when you sign up, including a white-glove migration with the 3-year price-lock contract offering.
Does LoadBearing integrate with EagleView like Jobber does?
LoadBearing has a native EagleView integration: order aerial measurement reports from inside a job and pull roof and wall measurements straight into your planning. Jobber does not offer a built-in EagleView integration.
Does LoadBearing offer a free trial?
Yes — you can start a free trial with no credit card required, and subscribe later from your settings once you've seen it work with your own jobs.
