BayQuote vs. Jobber
An honest comparison for landscaping & hardscaping contractors, last checked August 2026.
Jobber is a genuinely good, well-established tool. It runs a contractor's whole operation: scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments, job tracking, and more. If you need all of that in one place, it's a real option worth considering.
BayQuote does one thing: get you from a site visit to a sent, professional quote as fast as possible. It's not trying to replace your whole business toolkit. It's built for contractors who want quoting specifically to be faster and easier, without paying for (or learning) a full operations platform to get there.
Price
Jobber starts around $39-49/month for a single user on its entry plan, with the tiers that include more complete features running $99-149+/month, and team plans scale further with more users. BayQuote is currently free to use through the Founding Feedback Program — full access, flat, every feature included, in exchange for a quick weekly check-in on how it's working for you.

If you're already using Jobber
You don't have to rip anything out to try BayQuote. A lot of contractors keep Jobber (or another tool) for scheduling and invoicing, and use BayQuote specifically for the quoting step, since that's the part where speed decides whether you win the job in the first place. If quoting is the part that's slow or clunky for you, that's exactly what BayQuote was built to fix.
Switching doesn't mean a migration project, either: import your existing price book (by photo or spreadsheet) and you can quote your first job today. And right now, trying it costs you nothing at all — it's free for the length of the Founding Feedback Program.
