PaintProof vs Jobber

This one is less of a comparison than the others, because they are not really the same kind of product. Jobber runs a service business: scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments, the lot, across every trade. We do one part of one trade — winning the paint job — and try to do it better than a general tool can.

Where Jobber is stronger

Almost everything that happens after the customer says yes. Recurring scheduling, dispatching crews, route planning, client hub, invoicing at scale, accounting integrations, and a mobile app with a genuinely good reputation. They are a large, well-funded company with hundreds of thousands of customers across the trades, and they have shipped AI features of their own — quote drafting, and a 24/7 answering service sold as an add-on.

If your problem is that jobs are falling through the cracks after they are sold, that is their problem to solve and not ours.

Where PaintProof is different

A general quote builder produces a document. We produce a showing: the customer's own room, repainted on screen while they watch, with a price beside it. Painting is one of the few trades where the customer is buying an appearance, and a line item cannot show them an appearance.

Underneath, the pricing is built the way estimators actually price — production rates and labour hours, condition by condition — not a flat rate per square foot.

Price

Jobber's entry tier was around $39 a month at our last check, with higher tiers well above that and add-ons priced separately. Verify on their site.

PaintProof is $79 a month for one person, or $119 flat for your whole crew, with unlimited bids on both — and every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.

You can run both

Plenty of painters will, and that is a sensible answer rather than a fudge: sell with us, run the work with them. We are deliberately a bolt-on, not a replacement for whatever is already keeping your schedule straight.

To be straight about a limit: we do not have a Jobber integration today. Moving a signed job across is manual for now.
