ScopeToSign vs. Jobber
ScopeToSign versus Jobber, played straight: pick Jobber if you want a full field-service suite — scheduling, dispatch, a CRM, and invoicing around the whole job. Pick ScopeToSign if estimating and closing is the job: a per-trade pricing engine and a Good/Better/Best proposal built to win the sale, not a calendar to run.
Pick Jobber if…
the job around the quote is your bottleneck — booking, scheduling, dispatching crews, a client manager, and invoicing that all connect. Jobber runs the operation, from Core at $49/mo to Plus at $499/mo (getjobber.com).
Pick ScopeToSign if…
quoting and closing is where you're losing money. You want HVAC- and plumbing-native pricing and a Good/Better/Best proposal built to win the sale — not a calendar and a dispatch board you have to run.

A field-service suite quotes; it doesn't price a change-out
Jobber's quote is a strong line-item form that connects to scheduling and invoicing — genuinely useful across every trade. But "works for every trade" means it knows none of them deeply. It doesn't price a 3-ton change-out by tonnage, flag an A2L lineset on a reused set, or hold the send until the permit and haul-away are on the quote.
These are real resolver lines — the permit billed at cost as a pass-through and the haul-away a generic quote form leaves to memory. Multiply a forgotten permit across a season of installs and the estimating depth pays for itself.

- Haul-away / disposal$70.00

What you give up choosing us over a full suite
The honest cost of choosing ScopeToSign over Jobber is the operation around the job. Jobber's whole reason to exist is connecting the schedule, the crew, the client history, and the invoice into one flow — and that's real value if dispatch and cash flow are what keep you up at night. ScopeToSign doesn't schedule a crew or send an invoice, and it exports to CSV rather than being your system of record for the back office.
You'd make that trade because your bottleneck is the quote, not the calendar. A shallow, generic quote quietly costs margin on every job — a forgotten permit here, a missed A2L check there — and no amount of slick scheduling fixes a number that was wrong before it went out. If that's your leak, a deep estimating tool plugs it in a way a suite structurally can't.
Pricing, honestly
Jobber prices by plan and seat: Core at $49/mo, Connect at $139/mo, Grow from $199/mo, and Plus from $499/mo (getjobber.com). The quoting feature is the same generic form at every tier — you climb the ladder for scheduling, automation, and users, not for deeper estimating.
ScopeToSign is free to build unlimited estimates and send your first three proposals, then $49/mo or $490/yr for unlimited sends. The estimating depth — packs, parametric math, the review engine — is the product, not an upsell.
If you already run Jobber for operations, that's not a mistake to undo. The question is whether your quote is deep enough — and that's the one thing a suite is structurally unlikely to nail.
Switching from Jobber — common questions
Does ScopeToSign schedule and dispatch like Jobber?
No. There's no calendar, dispatch board, or route planning — that's Jobber's strength. ScopeToSign is the estimate and the signed proposal, and it exports to CSV so your operations tool keeps running the schedule.
Jobber has quotes and e-sign already — why add ScopeToSign?
For depth. Jobber's quote is trade-agnostic; ScopeToSign prices HVAC by tonnage and zones, flags A2L and R-22, catches forgotten items, and builds Good/Better/Best. If a shallow quote is costing you margin, that's the gap.
Can they work together?
Yes. Run Jobber for scheduling and invoicing, quote and close in ScopeToSign, and move accepted jobs over by CSV. Nothing here demands you rip out your operations software.
What happens to my existing Jobber price list?
You don't migrate it — you don't need to. ScopeToSign loads a real HVAC or plumbing pack with parametric math built in, so instead of importing a flat list of items you start from a price book that already knows how a change-out or a repipe is priced. Edit it to your rates and you're ahead of where a copied list would leave you.
