Why service businesses switch to Ruunly

Lower starting cost, less dispatch overhead

Ruunly is $19/mo flat. Jobber Core is $49/mo monthly ($29/mo annual prepaid with 12-month commitment). To get Jobber's time-tracking + marketing tools you need Connect ($139/mo) or Grow ($199/mo).

More included at the entry tier

Ruunly Pro bundles campaign sequences, email broadcasts, booking-request inbox, review requests, NPS, loyalty + tipping, missed-call text-back, weather alerts, custom domain, and SMS campaigns. Jobber sells most of these as $29-39/mo add-ons.

Plan-first setup

Ruunly is built around selling monthly, seasonal, or annual plans from your website. Jobber focuses on quoting and scheduling individual jobs — recurring is bolted on, not the spine.

Faster website launch

Ruunly builds your AI-generated site during setup with plan sign-up wired in from day one. Jobber also offers a website, but Ruunly's is plan-signup-ready instantly.

Jobber gets expensive when you do not need dispatch depth

Jobber Grow ($199/mo) earns its price for dispatch-heavy teams running multiple crews. Jobber Plus ($599/mo monthly, bundles AI Receptionist) layers on enterprise reporting and dedicated support. If that is not your setup, you are paying for routing depth and overhead you may never use. Ruunly is cheaper, faster to set up, and puts plan billing, your website, and client tools in one place.

Jobber invests in their content. Ruunly invests in yours.

Jobber has invested millions into building a massive blog for their own company. Ruunly invests in yours. While Jobber's website builder lacks native blogging tools, Ruunly Growth provides a full AI-assisted content engine and city-specific landing pages so your business dominates local search results.

Common questions

Can I switch from Jobber to Ruunly?

Yes. Export your customers from Jobber as a CSV and import them into Ruunly in minutes. Your website goes live the same day.

Jobber has a website now — why choose Ruunly?

Both include websites. The difference is what the website does. Ruunly's site is built around plan sign-up and recurring billing from day one — if your business runs on monthly plans, that's the wedge. And when you need to send a one-off invoice or schedule a single job, that works too — same dashboard, same customer record, no extra setup. Jobber is invoice-first and built for job dispatch; Ruunly is plan-first with one-off jobs and ad-hoc invoices alongside.

Does Ruunly handle dispatching like Jobber?

Ruunly ships an On-My-Way share-link with live ETA, crew time clock + timesheets, and route day view — enough for independent service businesses that want scheduling visibility without full dispatch software. What we don't ship is enterprise multi-crew dispatch routing across dozens of techs daily; that's a big-fleet need, and Jobber Grow ($199/mo monthly) goes deeper there. If dispatch isn't the center of your operation, Ruunly's lighter toolkit is included at $19/mo.

What features does Ruunly include that Jobber charges extra for?

On Ruunly Pro+: campaign sequences, email broadcasts, booking-request inbox, review requests, NPS surveys, loyalty rewards, tipping, missed-call text-back, weather alerts, custom domain, SMS campaigns. Jobber gates Reviews ($39/mo), Campaigns ($29/mo), and time-tracking behind separate add-ons or higher tiers ($139-199/mo monthly).
