Jobber Alternative: Built for Australia

Want local pricing & Aussie FY?
Trackexa speaks Australian.

Jobber is solid for North American markets. Jobber Core is US$49 a month with no commitment, or US$29 a month billed annually (paid upfront for the year), for one user (prices in USD, excluding tax, on Jobber's public pricing page, checked 16 October 2026; AU pricing may differ). Trackexa is flat-rate AUD ($39/month including GST, one login), built-in Australian FY, and profit-focused for sole traders.

Why Aussie tradies look elsewhere

What's tricky about Jobber?

Common reasons Australian sole traders look for a local option. Some prefer AUD pricing upfront. Some want Australian FY and GST views by default. Some want profit per hour on every job.

💵
Pricing displayed in USD
Jobber's pricing is often shown in US dollars or references North American plans. If you prefer seeing AUD upfront without conversion guesswork, a local product can be clearer.
🌍
US/Canada-centric reviews & support
Most online reviews and community discussion focus on North American markets. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want docs and examples in Australian context, Trackexa is built for you.
💰
Profit-per-hour isn't front & centre
Trackexa surfaces profit-per-hour on every job by default. If that metric drives your quoting decisions, compare both products side by side on a real job.
📅
Australian FY not the default view
Jobber can handle multiple financial years, but Trackexa is designed around July 1 to June 30 from day one. If you live in the Aussie FY, it's one less setting to configure.
🔀
Complex feature set for sole traders
Jobber scales to larger teams with dispatch and crew management. If you're a sole trader, you might only use a fraction of those features. Trackexa stays lean.
🧮
Per-user or tiered pricing
Some Jobber plans scale by user count or tier features. If you prefer one flat monthly rate with all core features included, Trackexa's $39 AUD including GST (one login) is simpler to budget.

Questions & Answers

Common questions about switching from Jobber

Here's what tradies usually ask when comparing Trackexa to Jobber.

How does Trackexa pricing compare to Jobber?
Trackexa is $39 AUD per month including GST, flat. That includes all features, unlimited jobs, quotes, invoices, and profit tracking. One login. No per-user fees, no hidden costs. Jobber Core is US$49 a month with no commitment, or US$29 a month billed annually (paid upfront for the year), for one user (prices in USD, excluding tax, on Jobber's public pricing page, checked 16 October 2026; AU pricing may differ). If you're a sole trader, flat AUD pricing with one login can make budgeting simpler.
Does Trackexa have Australian FY tracking built in?
Yes. Your dashboard shows financial year income (July 1 to June 30) by default, with paid income including and excluding GST. GST collected is calculated as one eleventh of paid invoice totals (assumes 10% GST on all invoices). You can export a sales and GST collected summary for your bookkeeper or BAS. Trackexa does not yet track GST paid on purchases.
Can I see profit-per-hour on every job?
Yes. Trackexa calculates and displays profit-per-hour automatically for every job based on your materials, hours worked, and revenue. It's on the job card and dashboard, no custom reports or manual calculations needed.
Is Trackexa simpler or more complex than Jobber?
Simpler. Trackexa is built for Australian sole traders (one login per account). We focus on core tradie workflows: quotes, jobs, invoices, profit tracking, and Aus FY. Team logins are not available yet. An offsider can still get the job details via Google Calendar. Jobber has more depth for larger teams with advanced scheduling, dispatch, and crew management. If you need those features, Jobber may fit better.
Can I import my existing data from Jobber?
You start fresh in Trackexa. Before you cancel your old app, export or download the records you want to keep.
Does Trackexa work on Android and iOS?
Yes. Trackexa runs in your phone's browser on iPhone and Android, plus desktop, with every feature on every device. Nothing to install.
What if I need to switch back to Jobber?
You keep full access until the end of the period you've paid for, then 30 days of read-only access to view and download your records.
