Jobber is a great tool — for landscapers, house cleaners, and HVAC techs. But it doesn't know what NFPA 96 is, can't generate compliance certificates, and limits your team size per plan. Add CompanyCam at $88/mo just for photos, and you're paying $476/mo for two apps that don't talk to each other — and still no NFPA 96 compliance.

Custom forms that sort-of replicate NFPA checklists. Manual certificate PDFs you fill out in Canva. Spreadsheets tracking grease depth because Jobber has no field for it. Then you add CompanyCam at $88/mo just for photos — two apps that don't talk to each other. You're spending hours every week doing what HoodOps does automatically.
Jobber doesn't know when a client's next cleaning is due per NFPA 96. It doesn't flag overdue accounts. It doesn't generate certificates. One missed cleaning, one fire, one lawsuit — and your paper trail falls apart.
Jobber's Grow plan caps at 15 techs. If you're scaling to 20+ techs, you either hit the wall or start paying for extra users. HoodOps Growth is $299/mo flat for up to 9 techs. Enterprise is custom for 10+.

HoodOps Starter ($199/mo) includes NFPA 96 certificates, AI photo analysis, and KEC-specific checklists — features Jobber doesn't have at any price.
I've cleaned kitchens for Cintas, Aramark, and Yosemite National Park. I'm IKECA certified. I built HoodOps because I got tired of explaining NFPA 96 to software that was built for plumbers.
