Vorkeon vs Jobber

The short verdict
Pick Vorkeon if you quote a lot of jobs, want a full quote from one sentence in about a minute, run a small crew, and want quotes, invoices, time clock, team chat, site reports and pay stubs in one app for a low monthly price. Your workers who only clock in cost nothing.
Pick Jobber if your business runs on recurring visits and routes, you need dispatch by map and GPS, a customer portal (Jobber calls it Client hub), online booking, two-way texting with customers, QuickBooks Online sync, or a large app marketplace. Jobber has been on the market for many years and has a lot of public reviews. Vorkeon launched in October 2026.

Price for a small crew
Jobber prices go up with the number of users. Its pricing page lists Connect at $139 a month for 1 user, $199 for 5 users and $299 for 10 users on month-to-month billing, with lower prices on a yearly term. Grow starts at $199 a month for 1 user, and Plus starts at $499 a month for 5 users.
Vorkeon counts only office users (the owner, estimators and admins). Crew covers up to 3 office users for US$39.99 a month, and Everything has unlimited office users for US$99.99 a month. Workers who only clock in are free on every plan, so a crew of ten field workers does not raise the price.
Vorkeon prices (USD): Free plan $0. Solo US$19.99 a month or US$149 a year. Crew US$39.99 a month or US$299 a year. Everything US$99.99 a month or US$899.99 a year. The website also shows prices in CAD, EUR, GBP and AUD; see pricing. Workers who only clock in are always free on every plan.
Quoting: AI first vs templates first
In Vorkeon you type one line, like "replace 30 squares of shingles, one layer tear-off, 6/12 pitch". The AI builds a full quote with materials, labor, waste and your markup in about a minute. You check it, change any line, and send a clean PDF with your logo. It can also search store prices for materials. Solo includes 25 AI quotes a month, Crew 75 and Everything 300.
Jobber is built around quote templates, line items and optional upsells. Its Grow plan adds optional line items for upsells, and its features page lists quotes with photos of your work. Jobber AI is in beta and, per Jobber's help center, can create a new quote through Voice mode in the mobile app.
Any AI quote is a starting point. Prices vary by region, so always check local material and labor costs before you send. You can try the math first with the free roofing quote calculator and other calculators.
