FieldEdge
Jobber
FieldEdge is purpose-built for HVAC: a flat-rate pricing book, two-way QuickBooks sync (including Desktop), equipment tracking, and maintenance-agreement tools fit an established multi-truck shop better than Jobber's generalist toolkit. The exception is a small or solo HVAC business, where Jobber's $49 entry, free trial, and built-in GPS win outright.

Does the pick change with team size?
The pick flips with size: a solo or small HVAC shop is better off on Jobber's $49 Core with a free trial and built-in GPS, while FieldEdge's price book, inventory, and two-way QuickBooks earn their keep once you run several trucks on maintenance agreements — and its onboarding fee is easier to absorb at that scale.

How to Decide
Choose FieldEdge when:
When you run an established, multi-truck HVAC business with maintenance agreements, parts inventory, and a QuickBooks-centred office.
Choose Jobber when:
When your HVAC business is a solo or small shop that wants the cheapest, easiest start with GPS and a free trial.
Critical question to ask yourself:
“Do you need HVAC-specific machinery — flat-rate book, inventory, two-way QuickBooks — or just clean scheduling, invoicing, and dispatch?”
