USD billing
Jobber lists and bills its plans in US dollars. Your real cost in AUD floats with the exchange rate, and many cards add an international transaction fee on top.
Jobber alternative
The Jobber alternative built for Australian lawn care.
Jobber is good software. It is also a North American generalist billed in US dollars. If you mow lawns and maintain gardens in Australia or New Zealand, SortScape gives you the parts you actually use, in your currency, with support in your timezone.
From A$15/month, billed in AUD. No contracts.
Why Australians go looking for an alternative.
These are the four reasons that come up again and again when lawn and garden businesses tell us they are moving off Jobber.
Per-user fees add up
Beyond each plan's included seats, extra users cost about US$29 per person per month. Hiring a second or third crew member gets expensive fast.
Support on North American hours
Jobber's live support runs Monday to Friday on North American time. From Australia, that means no live help for most of your working day.
Paying for a generalist platform
Jobber serves more than 50 industries. If you only mow lawns and maintain gardens, part of what you pay for is breadth you never use.
Jobber details checked September 2026 from Jobber's public pricing page and help centre. To be fair to them: if you want a client portal, marketing add-ons, and a big app marketplace, Jobber remains a strong choice. See our honest SortScape vs Jobber comparison.

What is the best Jobber alternative in Australia?
It depends on your trade. For lawn mowing and garden maintenance businesses, SortScape is built specifically for recurring rounds, priced in AUD from A$15 a month, with local-hours support. For general trades like plumbing or electrical, Australian-focused options such as ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus, or AroFlo are worth a look. Our best lawn care software roundup compares them honestly.
Why do Australian businesses look for a Jobber alternative?
The most common reasons we hear: USD billing that moves with the exchange rate, roughly US$29 per month for each extra user, support hours that do not overlap with the Australian workday, and paying for a broad platform when they only need lawn and garden features.
Is SortScape cheaper than Jobber?
Usually, yes. SortScape starts at A$15 a month for one user and A$59 a month for a 5-user Basic plan, billed in AUD. Jobber's solo plan is US$49 a month (US$29 billed annually) and team plans start at US$139 a month (US$99 billed annually), billed in USD. Compare both pricing pages for your team size.
What do I give up by moving from Jobber to SortScape?
Honestly: Jobber's client self-service portal, its marketing suite add-ons, and its larger integration marketplace. If those are central to how you operate, stay put. What you gain is software focused on recurring lawn and garden work, simple enough that the crew actually uses it, with AUD pricing and support in your timezone.
How hard is it to switch from Jobber?
Export your clients from Jobber as a CSV and we will import your customers and properties into SortScape for you. Every trial includes a free one-on-one training session, so most businesses are running their round in SortScape within a week, alongside Jobber if they want the safety net.
