Jobber’s a capable general field-service app. But if your world is rounds, crews, line marking, spraying and UK Direct Debits, you end up bending a generic tool to fit. SwardOps is built for exactly this trade — and it costs less as your team grows.

Questions, answered
- Is SwardOps a good alternative to Jobber?
- If you run grounds or garden maintenance in the UK, yes. Jobber is a solid general field-service tool, but SwardOps is built specifically for this trade — recurring rounds, margin-aware quoting that includes travel and machinery, line marking, spray & COSHH, lone-worker safety, and UK payments via GoCardless. It replaces the diary, spreadsheet and paperwork in one app.
- How much does SwardOps cost compared to Jobber?
- SwardOps starts at £29/mo (Solo), £79/mo (Crew, up to 5) and £149/mo (Contractor, up to 15) — team plans, not per-user, so adding crew doesn’t balloon the bill. Founding contractors lock in 30% off for life. There’s a free 30-day trial — you pick a plan and save a card, but nothing’s charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime.
- Can I move my customers and rounds over easily?
- Yes — you can import your customers, and we’ll set it up with you on a 15-minute screen-share so your real rounds are in and working. You start with a free 30-day trial (nothing charged until it ends), so you can try it on your own jobs before you pay.
