The fundamental difference

Ten Four vs Jobber: software you run vs a team that runs it for you

Jobber is a full-featured field-service platform — a great choice if you have an office, a dispatcher, or admin time to spare. Ten Four is built for the contractor who would rather be on the job. With Jobber you log in, build quotes, schedule jobs, and send invoices yourself. With Ten Four, a real team does that work for you and the product is the text thread.

What you actually get for the money

Ten Four is one flat $49/month plan with everything included: a dedicated business number, AI-drafted texts that a human approves before sending, phone calls answered by real people, quoting, invoicing, Stripe payments, calendar sync, and missed-call text-back. With Jobber, those same capabilities are spread across the Core, Connect, and Grow tiers plus paid add-ons such as the AI Receptionist (+$99/mo) and Marketing Suite (+$79/mo).

The real cost

A solo contractor who wants two-way texting, an AI receptionist, and missed-call lead capture is not on Jobber's entry plan — they are stacking Connect ($119) plus the AI Receptionist add-on ($99) for roughly $218/month. Ten Four delivers the done-for-you version for $49/month — about $169 saved every month, or $2,028 a year.

Which one fits

Choose Jobber if you have an office or dispatcher who lives in the dashboard, run a multi-truck crew with 5+ users, and want to build quotes and reports yourself. Choose Ten Four if you are a one- to three-person operation, would rather be on the job than at a screen, and want one bill instead of a tier ladder with add-ons.

Switching from Jobber

I already use Jobber. Why would I switch?

If Jobber is working for you and someone in your office has time to run it, stay put. People come to Ten Four when the software keeps piling up tasks — quotes to send, invoices to chase, messages to type — and they would rather be on the job.

Can I use Ten Four alongside Jobber?

Yes. Some operators keep Jobber for job tracking and use Ten Four as the customer-facing line. We send you summaries you can paste back into Jobber.

Can I bring my Jobber customer list with me?

Yes. Export your contacts from Jobber and we import them on your behalf during onboarding.
