Jobber is one of the most well-known field service management platforms in the world. It is popular with landscapers, HVAC technicians, plumbers and cleaning companies, and it has started to gain traction in the UK market. But is it the right choice for a UK removals or self-storage business?
In this comparison we look at Move and Store and Jobber side by side across the features that matter to removals operators: quoting, storage, payments, pricing transparency, and UK-specific design.

Where Jobber wins
Jobber is a mature, well-funded platform and it genuinely excels in several areas.
Scheduling and route optimisation
Jobber's scheduling engine is excellent. It offers drag-and-drop calendar views, route optimisation for field crews, and GPS tracking. If you manage large teams doing multiple jobs per day across a wide area, Jobber's dispatch tools are more advanced than what Move and Store offers today.
Integrations ecosystem
Jobber connects to QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, Mailchimp, Zapier and more out of the box. If your business runs on a specific accounting or marketing stack, Jobber probably integrates with it already.
Native mobile apps
Jobber has well-reviewed iOS and Android apps. Crews can view schedules, log job notes, capture photos, collect signatures and process payments from their phones with a native experience.
Established brand and community
Jobber has been around since 2011, has tens of thousands of users, and offers extensive documentation, webinars and support resources. There is a large community of users sharing best practices.
Where Move and Store wins
Purpose-built for removals
Jobber was designed for general trades: plumbers, landscapers, cleaners. It does not understand room-by-room inventory, cubic footage calculations, or the specific workflow of a removals quote. Move and Store's quoting wizard was built from scratch for removals operators and handles these natively.
Storage management included
If you offer self-storage alongside removals, Move and Store handles unit tracking, occupancy, and storage billing in the same platform. Jobber has no storage management features at all. You would need a separate system and the extra cost and complexity that comes with it.
Transparent pricing with a free tier
This is a key difference. Move and Store publishes every plan and every price on its pricing page. You know exactly what you will pay before you sign up. There are no sales calls, no custom quotes, and no hidden fees. Jobber publishes its Core plan price but requires you to speak to a sales representative for Connect and Grow pricing. Move and Store is simple enough that we do not need to pay sales people to explain or sell it; those savings are passed directly to you.
Genuinely free for sole operators
Move and Store's Free plan is free forever with no trial period. You get the quoting wizard, CRM, customer portal, storage management and Stripe payments. Jobber offers a 14-day trial and then requires a paid subscription.
UK-first design
Move and Store is priced in GBP, uses British English, and handles VAT and UK address formats natively. Jobber is priced in USD and was built for the North American market first. It works in the UK, but you will notice the difference in small details.
Pricing comparison
Move and Store pricing
| Plan | Monthly cost | Transaction fee | Key inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | £0 forever | 5% | 5 active quotes, quoting wizard, CRM, storage, payments |
| Pro | £29/mo | 2% | Unlimited quotes, automated follow-ups, Google Reviews |
| Scale | £79/mo | 0.5% | Everything, free website build, dedicated onboarding |
Jobber pricing
Jobber's Core plan starts at approximately $39 USD per month (around £31). The Connect and Grow plans, which include features like automated follow-ups and advanced reporting, require you to contact Jobber's sales team for pricing. Based on publicly available information, the Grow plan is estimated at $249+ USD per month.
The lack of published pricing for higher tiers makes it difficult to do a direct comparison. With Move and Store, what you see on the pricing page is what you pay. No surprises.
Who should choose which?
Choose Jobber if:
- You run a multi-trade business (not just removals) and want one tool for all services
- You need advanced route optimisation and GPS tracking for large field teams
- You depend on specific integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, Mailchimp)
- You want a large established platform with a proven track record in field services
Choose Move and Store if:
- You are a UK removals operator and want software purpose-built for your trade
- You offer or plan to offer self-storage alongside removals
- You want room-by-room quoting with online deposit collection
- You want transparent pricing with no sales calls
- You want a free plan that genuinely covers the essentials
The bottom line
Jobber is a strong platform for general field service businesses, especially those with large teams who need advanced scheduling and routing. But for UK removals and storage operators, it lacks the industry-specific features that make the difference: room-by-room quoting, storage management, and transparent GBP pricing. Try Move and Store for free and see the difference for yourself.
