HoodOpsvsJobber

Jobber is polished, affordable, general-purpose field-service software for residential trades. It was never built for kitchen exhaust — here's the honest gap.

The Bottom Line

Jobber is a clean, well-built field-service app for residential and general service businesses — landscaping, cleaning, residential HVAC — with a low entry price and strong mobile experience. It has zero kitchen-exhaust or NFPA 96 capability. HoodOps is built for exactly that: NFPA 96 certificates, NFPA 96 frequency scheduling, grease-depth logging, and EvidLY proof — priced by customer accounts with unlimited users instead of per seat.

Pricing

Per Account vs. Per Seat

HoodOps

From $99/mo

›Priced by customer accounts serviced
›Unlimited users, every plan
›No implementation fee
›Launch offer: 50% off year one

Jobber

From $199/mo

›Priced per user — $199/mo (5 users) up to $699/mo (15 users)
›Built for residential & general field service
›Polished quoting, scheduling, invoicing
›No hood cleaning / NFPA 96 features

Cost at scale

At 10 users, Jobber’s Grow tier is $399/mo (as of July 2026) and keeps climbing per seat. HoodOps Growth is $199/mo for unlimited users — cheaper in absolute dollars, no per-seat ceiling, and the entire NFPA 96 layer Jobber doesn’t have. You’re not the premium option here; you’re the cheaper and deeper one.
