Hunter vs Jobber
A Jobber alternative that speaks Australian pest control
Jobber is popular with North American home-service businesses. Hunter is built around Australian pesticide records, licensing and food-safety from day one.
Best for: US and Canadian home-service businesses
Last reviewed
The short version
Jobber is one of the most polished home-service platforms around — but it’s built for the North American market. For an Australian pest control business, the compliance model, terminology and support hours never quite line up. Hunter is built here, for here.
One thing to get out of the way before the table: Hunter is not sold the way the products on this page are. They are software licensed per user, which you configure and then operate. Hunter is a crew of AI employees installed with you — the work of answering, quoting, chasing and reporting is done by the system rather than by staff using it — so it is priced as one thing against what that work costs you today, not per seat. That makes a row-by-row feature comparison useful and a price comparison meaningless, which is why there isn't one. What it costs is on the pricing page and in full on the call.

| What you're buying | A managed AI crew, priced as one | Home-services software, licensed per user, built for the US and Canada |
Where Jobber falls short
Jobber has no concept of Australian pesticide registers, chemical SDS handling or state technician licensing — you’re bending a US product to fit AS 3660 and 4349.3.
Support runs on North American time zones, and pricing is billed in USD, so your costs move with the exchange rate.
