// The 30-second verdict
Which one is actually right for your shop?
// PICK JOBBER IF
You need a full dispatch CRM
- • You don't have any CRM today and need scheduling, invoicing, and dispatch in one place.
- • Your shop is 1–5 users and the per-seat math doesn't bite yet.
- • Generic AI is enough — Copilot writes your emails, AI Receptionist answers the basics, you're happy.
// PICK COREX IF
You want serious AI without rebuilding your stack
- • You want photo-based estimating, predictive maintenance, multi-step invoice chase, or a field tech AI trained on your SOPs.
- • You're at 6+ users and per-seat pricing is starting to sting.
- • You want flat-rate pricing that doesn't punish you for growing.
// RUN BOTH IF
You already love Jobber but want better AI
- • Your team is trained on Jobber, your data lives there, you don't want to migrate.
- • Corex has a native Jobber connection — leads flow in, jobs flow out, no double entry.
- • Drop the AI bolt-ons ($178/mo combined). Add Corex modules à la carte. Often net-cheaper.

at the team sizes that matter.
Both companies hide the real math in plan tiers, per-seat charges, and AI add-ons. Here's what each actually costs at four common team sizes.

💡
Honest note: at the multi-location tier, Jobber Plus + add-ons can come in cheaper than Corex Full Suite if your shop doesn't need photo estimating, predictive maintenance, or the field tech AI. Those are the high-value Corex modules that have no Jobber equivalent— the math flips once they're in scope.

// Why people search for this
What pushes Jobber users to look around.
01
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Jobber charges $29/seat/mo above your plan cap. A 12-tech shop on Connect adds $232/mo just for seats — before any AI add-on. Corex is flat-rate, unlimited users.
02
AI bolt-ons that don't compose
Jobber Copilot, AI Receptionist, and Marketing Suite are three separate $79–99/mo add-ons that don't share context with each other. Corex modules share a single CRM + KB so the receptionist knows what the proposal said.
03
Big gaps in what AI actually does
Jobber's AI is fine at writing follow-up emails. It does not do photo-based estimating, multi-step invoice chase, predictive maintenance schedules, or RAG-trained field tech assistance. Those are the wedges driving Corex demand.
// You don't have to choose
Run both, the right way.
Corex has a native Jobber integration that goes live the day your account does. Leads captured by the Corex receptionist or chat widget flow into Jobber as new clients + requests. Jobs marked complete in Jobber trigger Corex review requests and post-job follow-up sequences. Your team keeps the dispatch UI they're already trained on.
The common pattern: keep Jobber Core for the CRM + invoicing, drop the AI Receptionist + Marketing Suite add-ons (saves $178/mo), and add 2–4 Corex modules à la carte for the AI work Jobber doesn't do — photo estimating, predictive maintenance, multi-step invoice chase, field tech AI.
