Stop paying for software you will never own.
Every month, your software vendor collects, and the day you stop paying, the system stops. For a three-person crew on Jobber Core, that bill runs $6,420 over five years. Owning the same back office costs $138, once. Run your own numbers below.

Estimates from publicly listed prices, checked September to October 2026; your plan and seat count will vary. Compares software license costs only. Excludes payment processing fees, implementation, hardware, labor, and support. Procedura workbooks are not full SaaS products and do not claim feature parity; see the tradeoff notes on this page.
The office core, without the platform rent
Booking, dispatch, and Stripe payments for $419 in year one.
Jobber Connect for 5 users and Housecall Pro Essentials are $149/month billed annually, or $1,788 a year. The Front Office Agent Setup Kit is $179 once plus about $20/month for the AI you choose: $419 in year one, $1,369 less. Over three years, that is $899 against $5,364.
It is not a full platform replacement. There is no tech mobile app, GPS tracking, or customer portal. A human confirms every send, booking change, and payment action.
The bill, itemized
What the big platforms charge over five years.
Month-to-month list prices, no promotions, no add-ons. The Procedura column is the full stack for that trade at today's selling prices, paid once and owned outright.
| The plan | Per month | Five-year cost | Procedura, once | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber Core, 1 user | $49 | $2,940 | $138 (Contractor stack) | $2,802 |
| Jobber Core, 3-person crew ($49 + 2 × $29) | $107 | $6,420 | $138 (Contractor stack) | $6,282 |
| Jobber Connect, 1 user | $139 | $8,340 | $138 (Contractor stack) | $8,202 |
| Jobber Connect, 5 users | $199 | $11,940 | $138 (Contractor stack) | $11,802 |
| Jobber Grow, 1 user | $199 | $11,940 | $138 (Contractor stack) | $11,802 |
| Housecall Pro Basic, 1 user | $79 | $4,740 | $263 (HVAC stack) | $4,477 |
| Housecall Pro Essentials, up to 5 users | $189 | $11,340 | $263 (HVAC stack) | $11,077 |
Annual billing runs roughly 40% lower, and the five-year total still lands in the thousands: Jobber Core billed annually is $29 a month, $1,740 over five years, for one user. Add-ons widen the gap further; Jobber's Marketing Suite alone runs about $79 to $99 a month on top of the plan. ServiceTitan publishes no list price, and contractors report roughly $245 to $500 per technician per month, so it stays out of this table rather than being guessed at.
The way out
Most shops use a fraction of the platform. That fraction is what we sell.
Talk to owners running one to three crews and the daily work looks the same: estimates that total themselves, invoices that go out on time, a clear view of who is doing what this week, and knowing whether a job made money. The dispatch board sits half-empty. The client hub gets used by a fraction of customers. The subscription bills at 100% every month. Procedura sells that daily work in three levels, each one a complete way in, each bought once:
Level 2
The OS Packs
$49 to $119
Run the whole operation.
Your templates, stitched together into one connected workbook: quoting, dispatch, clients, and per-job profit, all reading the same numbers. Enter a job once and everything updates.

The Full Stack + AI
$149
Everything, working together.
The Level 2 system with AI agent configurations plugged in: follow-ups, intake, and reminders drafted for you on your own files, with your approval on every send. This is the SaaS killer: bought once, yours forever.
See Level 3 productsThe honest answer
Stay, switch, or run both.
Stay with the subscription if you run multiple crews with a real dispatcher, your customers book online daily, and integrated card payments save your office hours every week. The platform earns its fee.
Switch to Procedura if you are a one-to-three-crew shop paying for a platform you mostly use for quotes and invoices, your system today is paper, texts, and memory, or your software costs keep climbing while your margins do not.
Run both if you keep the platform for booking and dispatch but want your estimating and job-profit tracking in files you own. Plenty of owners do exactly that.
