Galaxy Unit
vs Jobber.
Jobber runs field service. Galaxy Unit connects the work to the money behind it — the hours, the materials, the margin and the tax.
Four things that actually change.
One system, not two sets of books
Jobber tracks the work. Your books stay a separate reconciliation job at month end. In Galaxy Unit, job costing and tax periods come from the same operational data — there is no second system to keep in sync.
Your documents actually get opened
“Over 60% of my estimates aren’t even viewed by clients.” — Leonor Assuncao, Trustpilot review of Jobber. The likely cause: Jobber sends from @jobbermail.com, which spam filters flag. Galaxy Unit generates a PDF you send yourself, from your own email — nothing to filter.
Priced the way the trade actually prices
Per-foot, per-square-foot, per-visit, per-vehicle, hourly — the pricing unit changes with the industry template. Jobber has one generic line-item model.
The AI sees the whole business
Galaxy Copilot reads customers, jobs, schedule, invoices and expenses together, then prepares actions you confirm. That only works because the data is connected in the first place.
The honest table.

Where Jobber is honestly stronger today.
If one of these is critical to how you work, Jobber is the better choice right now, and we would rather you know that here.
Straight answers.
Is Jobber a bad product?
No. Jobber runs field service operations well and has done so for years. The gap this page is about is that the work it manages and the money that work produces live in two different systems.
Can I move from Jobber to Galaxy Unit?
You can bring customers and history in and export your data at any time. Early access includes help getting set up, since we are onboarding businesses one at a time right now.
What is Galaxy Unit genuinely missing today?
A native mobile app and a broad integration ecosystem. It is web-first and early. Those are real trade-offs and we would rather say so here than have you discover them in week two.
Keep comparing.
Your business is already connected.
Your software should be too.
Run the work, money and paperwork as one system.
