Jobber was built for North America.
ServicePay was built for you.
Jobber is great software — but it's designed for plumbers in Portland, not electricians in Edinburgh. ServicePay is UK-first: GBP, VAT, HMRC reports, UK SMS, and managed card payments.

The UK problem
Why "works in the UK" isn't enough
Jobber in the UK
From $49/mo, charged in USD — no UK price list
- Designed for the North American market — USD-centric
- Configurable tax rates, but no UK CIS or domestic reverse charge
- UK two-way texting on selected plans; picture messages are not supported in Great Britain
- Website included on every plan — but it is a separate site, not fed by your jobs and reviews
- No customer support ticket system
- Pricing scales steeply — Grow plan is $199/mo month-to-month

Common questions
Is Jobber available in the UK?
Jobber does operate in the UK, but it was built for the North American market. Currency defaults to USD, VAT handling is limited, SMS features use US/Canadian numbers, and support hours are North American timezone. ServicePay is built UK-first.
How does pricing compare?
Jobber's Core plan starts at $39/mo (~£31) but limits you to 2 users and basic features. Their Connect plan ($119/mo) and Grow plan ($169/mo) add features you'd expect as standard. ServicePay Pro is £39/mo, plus £79/mo for a connected website.
Can Jobber handle UK VAT?
Jobber has basic tax support but it's not designed around the UK VAT system. ServicePay includes VAT calculations on quotes and invoices, VAT reports for HMRC, and Xero-ready CSV exports.
Does Jobber include a website?
No. Jobber is purely operational software — you need a separate website, hosting, and booking system. ServicePay offers a connected website add-on (from £79/mo) where every enquiry lands in your account and approved reviews auto-publish to your site and GotAPal.
What about Jobber's card payments?
Jobber connects to Stripe but you manage the integration yourself. ServicePay offers managed payments (2.9% + £1, never more than 4%, no setup) or bring-your-own Stripe for lower rates.
Do I need the partner website?
No — the software alone (£39/mo) handles everything: quoting, job management, invoicing, card payments, review collection, and more. But if you want leads coming direct and reviews building your online presence automatically, the website add-on at £79/mo is cheaper than any agency and actually connects to your business. Enquiries flow into ServicePay, and approved reviews auto-publish to your site and GotAPal.
