Price: compare the plan you would really use
Jobber's Core plan (US$49 a month, month to month) already includes quotes, invoices and online payments for one user. quoteai's Starter (CA$29) covers quotes only; the plan that matches Core on paperwork is Pro at CA$79, which adds contracts and e-signature and a second user, and card payments come with Business at CA$249. Jobber bills in US dollars, so its price in Canadian dollars moves with the exchange rate; quoteai bills in Canadian dollars.
Quoting speed versus running the whole operation
Jobber is built around the schedule: crews, visits, routes and recurring work. quoteai is built around the quote: you say what the job is and the AI writes the line items, then the same numbers carry into the contract, deposit, job and invoice. Owner-operators and small crews who lose evenings to estimates tend to feel the difference most; larger crews who live in a dispatch board may be better served by Jobber.
Switching without retyping
If your current app can export clients or quotes to a CSV or Excel file, quoteai imports that spreadsheet: it matches the usual column names (client, email, phone, address, description, quantity, price, total) without a template. Run both for a week if you like; the trial needs no credit card.
