Where Jobber is stronger

  • Breadth of platform. Client self-service portal, marketing suite add-ons for reviews and email campaigns, a large app marketplace, and AI tools like an AI receptionist and business copilot.
  • Multi-industry flexibility. If you also run cleaning, handyman, or other home services under one roof, Jobber's generalist design covers them all.
  • Project billing depth. Deposits, payment schedules, and job cost coding suit quoted construction and landscaping projects better than a recurring-visit model does.
  • Scale and ecosystem. Jobber serves over 100,000 businesses, most in North America, and has a huge library of guides and community content.

If those strengths match your business and USD pricing does not bother you, Jobber is a genuinely good product. We would rather you pick the right tool than churn off the wrong one.

Where SortScape is stronger

  • AUD pricing that stays small-business friendly. From A$15 a month, billed in Australian dollars. No exchange-rate surprises, no international card fees, and no per-user fee stacking as the crew grows.
  • Built around recurring rounds. Repeating visit series with seasonal frequencies (weekly in summer, monthly in winter), and rescheduling that can move a whole series in one click when rain wrecks the week. Mowing rounds are the product, not one of 50 industries.
  • Simple enough that the crew actually uses it. The word that comes up most in SortScape reviews is simple. Owners tell us staff pick it up within a day, including older hands coming straight off paper run sheets.
  • Route optimisation on every plan. Reorder each day's run to cut drive time, with estimated arrival times. Included from the cheapest plan.
  • Local support. Real people who answer in Australian business hours, plus a free one-on-one training session with every trial.

The bottom line

Choose Jobber if you are a larger, multi-service operation that wants a client portal, marketing tools, and a big integration ecosystem, and you are comfortable paying in USD with support on North American hours.

Choose SortScape if you run a lawn mowing or garden maintenance business in Australia or New Zealand and want software shaped around recurring rounds, simple enough that the crew actually uses it, priced in your currency, with support in your timezone. That focus is the whole point: you are not paying for features built for plumbers and painters.

SortScape vs Jobber FAQs

Is Jobber available in Australian dollars? +
No. Jobber lists and bills its plans in US dollars, so the AUD amount on your card moves with the exchange rate and may attract international transaction fees. SortScape bills Australian customers in AUD.
Is SortScape cheaper than Jobber? +
For most lawn and garden businesses, yes. SortScape starts at A$15 a month for one user, with tiered plans as you add users. Jobber starts at US$49 a month (US$29 a month billed annually) for one user, with team plans from US$139 a month (US$99 billed annually) and roughly US$29 per month for each extra user. Compare current prices on both pricing pages before deciding.
What is Jobber better at than SortScape? +
Jobber is a bigger platform. It has a client self-service portal, a marketing suite with review and email campaign tools, a large integration marketplace, and AI add-ons. If you run a mixed home-services business or want those extras and the pricing suits you, Jobber is a strong product.
What is SortScape better at for lawn care? +
SortScape is built only for lawn and garden maintenance. Recurring visit series with seasonal frequencies, drag-and-drop rescheduling that can update the whole series, route optimisation on every plan, and AUD pricing that stays affordable as your crew grows. Support answers in Australian hours, and the most repeated word in SortScape reviews is simple: crews pick it up in a day.
Does Jobber integrate with Xero? +
Yes, since 2024 Jobber offers a one-way sync from Jobber to Xero, available on its mid-tier plans and above rather than the entry plan. SortScape's Xero integration is two-directional for the things that matter day to day: it pushes invoices to Xero, keeps customers and products in sync, and pulls invoice paid status back into SortScape.
Can I move my customer list from Jobber to SortScape? +
Yes. Export your clients from Jobber and we will import your customers and properties into SortScape for you. Every trial also includes a free one-on-one training session to get your schedule set up.
