Why shops switch · vs Jobber

Looking for a Jobber alternative? Meet lınq..

How to switch

Switching from Jobber.
In three steps.

The whole migration runs from one screen. Keep Jobber active until you're sure — most shops cancel within the week.

Step 1 of 3

Export from Jobber

Open Jobber → Settings → Data Export. Tick clients, properties, jobs, invoices, line items. You'll get a zip of CSVs in about ten minutes.

Step 2 of 3

One-click import

Drop the zip into the lınq importer. We map Jobber's column names automatically — clients to customers, properties to addresses, jobs to jobs. Nothing to remap by hand.

Step 3 of 3

Run side-by-side for a week

Keep Jobber open. Run your real Monday on lınq. If anything's missing, the importer can re-pull. Most shops cancel Jobber on day five.


Before you switch

Five questions shop owners ask about Jobber.

Solo and Crew plans start at the same price as Jobber's comparable tiers. The savings show up on card processing — 2.00% year-one on lınq vs. Stripe's pass-through ~2.9%+ on Jobber. On $50k of monthly card volume that's about $450/month back in the till.
Yes — directly. The lınq importer reads the Jobber CSV export and maps clients, properties, jobs, invoices and line items in one step. Most shops are fully migrated in under an hour.
Everything Jobber does — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, customer portal, recurring jobs, time tracking — plus the AI receptionist, the dispatch board, card processing at cost, and a customer portal you can put your own logo on.
Jobber has been around longer, so its mobile app has deeper polish in a few corners — particularly the time sheet UI and the visit notes flow. If you're a solo tech who lives in the app and never needs a receptionist, Jobber's tighter mobile experience may matter more than what we add on top.
Under an hour for the import. A day to retrain muscle memory. Most shops are dispatching their first lınq job the morning after the import runs.
