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, and UK SMS.
18 features. Side by side.

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
ServicePay
From £39/month — built for UK trades
- Built from day one for UK tradespeople
- VAT-registered? Reports ready for your accountant

- Recurring contracts with auto-invoicing
Two ways to win
Powerful on its own. Unstoppable with a website.
The software handles everything from first enquiry to final payment. Add a partner website and every lead, review, and booking flows into one system automatically.

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 Payments?
Jobber has its own card processing, Jobber Payments, at 1.4% + 20p in the UK (as published, Aug 2026). ServicePay doesn't process payments: your customers pay you directly through your bank details or your own payment link, and ServicePay takes nothing.
Do I need the partner website?
No. The software alone (£39/mo) covers quoting, job management, invoicing, payment tracking, 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.
