Two different bets
Jobber and Jasning agree on what a dispatch board should look like. They disagree on what else should be in the box.
Jobber bundles dispatch with quoting, invoicing, payments, time tracking, and a customer portal. For a 15-person service business with all those needs, that's a real productivity win.
Jasning bundles dispatch with an MCP server. That's it.
The bet is that for the 2-to-10 person crew, the cost of running a full FSM platform is higher than the value it delivers. The dispatcher doesn't need a customer portal; the dispatcher needs to plan tomorrow in five minutes. The invoicing already works in the accounting tool. The line items aren't worth the extra complexity.
Where Jobber wins
Jobber is mature. The product has been in the field for years, the integrations are deep, and there's a real support team behind it. If you need the full stack (dispatch + quoting + invoicing + payments + customer portal), Jobber gives you all of it in one place.
For a North American HVAC or plumbing business doing 50+ jobs a day with three or four office staff, Jobber is probably the right call.
Where Jasning wins
The AI difference matters more than it sounds. Jobber has AI features. They're product-team features built on top of the existing data model. You can't connect Claude or ChatGPT directly and have it operate the board.
Jasning ships an MCP server natively. The whole product was designed around the idea that an AI assistant should be able to drive it. That's a different starting point and you can feel it.
The pricing difference also matters. Jobber starts at $59/month per user. Jasning is free during beta and will land well below Jobber after. For a two-person crew that's the difference between "yes we'll try it" and "let's think about it."
What's deliberately missing
We left features out on purpose. No quoting. No invoicing. No customer portal. No time tracking. Those are real features and Jobber does them well. We won't try to compete there.
If you need them, use Jobber. If you don't, you'll move faster without them.
