Both are popular. Both charge per user. We break down the real differences — then show you a third option that skips the trade-offs entirely.
Jobber is the better fit for general home-service teams across 40+ trades that value polish, consumer-facing booking and the largest third-party integration marketplace. Workiz is the better fit for inbound-call-driven shops (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, locksmith) that need deep dispatch, call recording and caller-ID attribution. Both charge per user as you grow. IntelliDrive OS is the third option worth considering: $79/month flat, unlimited users, with a real POS, auto-parts catalog and chargeback protection that neither competitor offers.

Notice the bottom of that comparison table? Neither Jobber nor Workiz offers a POS, auto parts catalog, chargeback protection, or on-account credit. IntelliDrive OS does — for $79/mo flat.
For small teams, Workiz is cheaper — their Lite plan is free for 2 pros. Jobber starts at $39/mo for 1 user. As teams grow, both become expensive: Jobber charges $199–$349/mo for larger teams, while Workiz charges $45/additional pro beyond 5. IntelliDrive OS is $79/mo flat for unlimited users regardless of team size.
Neither Jobber nor Workiz was built for locksmiths. Workiz does list locksmith as a supported trade and has better phone system integration for call-based businesses. Jobber is more general-purpose. However, neither offers auto parts catalogs, key code databases, or FCC ID tracking. IntelliDrive OS was built specifically for locksmith and automotive service businesses.
