Jobber for Mobile Detailers: Good at Visits, Blind to the Car
Jobber is home and commercial service software, and its $49 Core plan already lets customers book online inside a radius and drive time you set. A mobile detailer reaches its limits quickly: Jobber's pages describe no customer vehicle record, even on its auto detailing page, route optimization starts on the $139 Connect plan and two-way texting on the $199 Grow plan.
57.5 out of 100, number 5 of 7. Booking held to a radius on its $49 plan; no vehicle record described, routing from $139 and two-way texting from $199. Mobile Service Sync, ranked first, has 100.0.
Suits: Home and commercial service work, where the job belongs to an address rather than a vehicle.
Jobber Through a Mobile Day
Booking is the best thing about Jobber for a detailer: on Core, customers book online and Jobber limits them by a radius and by drive time. The app is on iPhone and Android, and Jobber says it offers offline access for patchy service, where checklists and notes save and the schedule is read only.
The car itself has no place to live. Jobber's pages, including the one it writes for auto detailing, describe no customer vehicle record and no plate or VIN lookup. It lists no inventory either, so what is left in the van is tracked somewhere else.
The bill grows as the day fills in. Route optimization starts on Connect at $139 a month, two-way texting on Grow at $199, and automatic review requests come with the Marketing Suite at $99 a month on top. Plans are monthly with no commitment, and the 14-day trial needs no card.

What Changes With Mobile Service Sync
At $49 a month, Mobile Service Sync's Core plan includes what Jobber holds back for Connect and Grow, route ordering and two-way texting, plus a review request after every job. It also puts every detail on a vehicle record filled from the plate, and saves inspections and photos with no signal.
