Migration Questions
Can SchedulingKit handle field service scheduling like Jobber?
Yes, for appointment scheduling and client management. SchedulingKit excels at AI-powered booking, client communication, and CRM. For advanced features like route optimization or inventory tracking, you may pair it with specialized tools.
How much will I save switching from Jobber?
Jobber's Core plan starts at $25/mo for one user, and grows to $125+/mo for teams. SchedulingKit offers a free plan for individuals and paid plans from $12/mo with AI chatbot, voice agent, and CRM included.
What about invoicing and payments?
SchedulingKit collects payments and deposits through Stripe, PayPal, or Square. For full invoicing, pair with QuickBooks or FreshBooks — many contractors already use these and prefer dedicated accounting tools anyway.
Does the AI voice agent work for service businesses?
Absolutely. The AI voice agent answers calls, provides service information, gives availability, and books appointments. It's ideal for contractors who can't answer phones while on a job site.
