Jobber in Australia: billed in US dollars

Jobber is a good product with a real gap here: it publishes no Australian pricing, bills in US dollars, and treats tax as a generic field rather than as GST.

Start free

Key takeaways

  1. Jobber publishes USD only, and prices each plan by team size. Core US$49 a month for one user. Verified 19 September 2026.
  2. Connect is US$139 for one user and US$199 for five. Grow is US$199 for one and US$299 for five. Plus starts at US$499 for five.
  3. Extra seats are US$29 each per month.
  4. There is no Australian pricing page and no AUD billing, so your cost moves with the exchange rate and your card's foreign fee.
  5. Tax is a generic configurable field, not GST. It will print a tax line; the compliance thinking stays yours.
  6. Chippie Pro is $25 AUD a month including 2 users, invoiced in AUD with GST.

What does Jobber actually cost an Australian crew?#

The published figures are USD, so the real monthly cost is the figure below plus whatever the rate does plus your bank's foreign transaction fee. We do not convert them here: an exchange rate written into a page is wrong within the week.

Does Jobber do GST properly?#

It handles tax as a configurable field, which is how a product built for North America handles tax everywhere. You can set a rate and it will print on the invoice. What you do not get is anything that knows what GST is, and no Australian guidance from the vendor.

  • No Australian pricing page and no AUD billing.
  • Tax configured generically rather than as GST.
  • No published GST guidance for Australian users.

When is Jobber the better choice?#

  • Client communication is how you win repeat work. Automated reminders, two-way SMS, campaigns and a client hub are a real product, and Chippie has none of it.
  • You want job costing. Chippie does not do it.
  • You bill in USD anyway, or operate across North America, where the currency question disappears.

Jobber is one of the more polished tools in this category and the marketing side is genuinely ahead. The Australian objection is about currency and tax, not about quality.

When is Chippie the better choice?#

  • You want an AUD bill and a GST invoice without configuring either.
  • You are one to ten people and the seat prices add up faster than the features do.
  • You want to start free and stay free under 20 jobs a month.
  • You would rather not prepay a year to get the good rate.

How do I move my data across?#

Export your client list from Jobber as a CSV and send it to us. We import it into your Chippie account, usually the same day, for free. Keep PDF copies of old quotes and invoices: those stay with Jobber.

Chippie vs Jobber: your questions#

Does Jobber price in Australian dollars?
No. Jobber publishes USD only and has no Australian pricing page. What lands on your card depends on the exchange rate and your bank's foreign transaction fee on the day.
What does Jobber cost?
Jobber prices each plan by team size, in USD. Core is US$49 a month for one user. Connect is US$139 for one, US$199 for five, US$299 for ten and US$399 for fifteen. Grow is US$199 for one and US$499 for fifteen. Plus is US$499 for five and US$699 for fifteen. Lower rates apply on annual billing. Verified 19 September 2026.
Does Jobber handle GST?
Jobber handles tax as a generic configurable field rather than as GST, and publishes no Australian GST guidance. It can produce a correct-looking tax line, but the compliance thinking is yours.
Does Jobber have a free plan?
No. There is a 14-day trial with full Grow access and no card. Chippie has a free plan covering 20 jobs a month.
What happens if I cancel a Jobber annual plan early?
Its pricing page states annual prepaid payments are non-refundable, and that one-year commitment plans bill the full twelve months even on early cancellation. Verified 12 June 2026.
Is Chippie cheaper than Jobber?
In most cases yes, and by more than the sticker difference, because Chippie prices in AUD and Jobber does not. Chippie Pro is $25 AUD a month including 2 users against Jobber Core at US$49 for one.
What is Jobber genuinely better at?
Client communication and marketing: automated reminders, two-way SMS, campaigns and a client hub, on its higher plans. Chippie has none of that. If winning repeat work through follow-up is your model, that is a real gap.
Can I move my Jobber data to Chippie?
Yes. Export your clients as a CSV, send it over, and we import it free, usually the same day.
