Jobber Pipeline Alternative

Jobber's pipeline costs $169/month. Lead Score does it for $9.99.

Jobber added a lead pipeline feature in 2024 — but it requires the Grow plan at $169/month. Lead Score gives you a more powerful pipeline including lead scoring that Jobber doesn't offer, at $9.99/month with a free tier.

Feature Comparison

Lead Score vs Jobber Pipeline

Lead Score was built when we realized Jobber's pipeline feature still doesn't tell you whether a lead is worth taking. A status column is not a scoring system.

The problem with Jobber's pipeline feature

You're paying $169/month for a pipeline that still can't tell you if a lead is worth pursuing.

Jobber's pipeline is a visual board that shows where leads are in your process. It's clean and it works — if you're already paying for the Grow plan. But the Grow plan is $169/month, and the pipeline feature itself still has no scoring, no lead qualification, and no way to tell you whether any given lead is actually worth your time.

A pipeline that can't score leads is just a list with stages.

Lead Score's pipeline includes the one thing Jobber's version will never have: a 5-factor scoring system that tells you whether a lead deserves to be in your pipeline at all. Before you ever track a lead through stages, Lead Score tells you if it's a Great Fit, Possible Fit, or Bad Fit — in 5 minutes on the first call.

For contractors who use Jobber for crew management, Lead Score works as the $9.99/month upstream layer. Score leads first. Only the winners enter Jobber's pipeline.

"I wish Jobber had a way to score or rate leads so I knew which ones to focus on first."

What Lead Score's pipeline does that Jobber's can't

Lead qualification before pipeline tracking — the step Jobber skipped.

Lead Score scores every lead before it enters any pipeline stage. Jobber's pipeline starts after you've already decided to track a lead. Lead Score helps you decide whether to track it at all.

At $9.99/month versus $169/month, Lead Score's pipeline covers the pre-sale workflow for solo contractors at a fraction of Jobber's cost. Estimates, invoices, mileage, lead scoring — all included.

For contractors already on Jobber Grow, Lead Score isn't a replacement — it's the upstream qualifier that makes your $169/month more profitable by filtering out bad leads before they enter your Jobber workflow.


The Real Cost

What your current app stack actually costs.

Most solo contractors run 4–5 separate apps. Here's the monthly total — and what Lead Score costs to replace all of them.

Typical contractor app stack — per month
MileIQ (mileage)$8.99
Joist or Invoice Simple (estimates + invoices)$8–32
HelloLeads or similar (lead tracking)$5
Expense tracking app$5–10
Monthly total$27–56/month
Lead Score replaces all of the above
Lead scoring + mileage + estimates + invoices + expenses$9.99/month
Your annual savings$204–552/year

Or go annual at $59.99/year — less than $5/month for the full stack.
