Why this calculator exists

A $29.99 starting price is only useful if the $29.99 plan contains your workflow. Customer self-booking pushes QuoteIQ to Elite, while Urable publishes online booking on Pro and Jobber publishes online booking on Core. Route optimization creates a different set of plan gates again.

What the calculator uses

For deeper cost questions, use the route optimization plan checklist, Urable plan guide and OrbisX cost breakdown. Confirm any usage charges separately from the calculator estimate.

  • QuoteIQ: user limits plus Elite gating for customer self-booking and route optimization.
  • Mobile Tech RX: published Getting Started admin/additional-user pricing through 10 people. Teams above 10 use custom pricing. Native customer-facing self-booking and route optimization are marked for verification rather than assumed.
  • ServiceM8: user/job-volume limits; $0.20 per additional job above the 1,500-job Premium Plus allowance; Online Bookings across plans; Auto Routing treated as an unpriced add-on when required.
  • Jobber: Core for one user and published Connect pricing through the five-user configuration. Jobber's pricing page also displays larger configurations, while current Help Center documentation describes Connect as supporting up to five users; teams above five are therefore marked for verification rather than assigned a guessed exact total.
  • Urable: unlimited users; Pro for online booking; route creation/optimization published on Express and above.
  • Housecall Pro: included-user counts, published additional-user charges and Max gating for route optimization.
