GreetKeeper vs Jobber AI
Jobber's Receptionist is a $29-a-month add-on for businesses whose work already lives in Jobber. GreetKeeper is its own receptionist: it picks up your existing line, confirms details aloud, and files each conversation into Jobber as a request. Pricing follows answered calls, from $49 a month for 200.

Why people move off Jobber AI
One vendor's specific wall, not a general complaint about the category.
Shops comparing Jobber's add-on with a separate receptionist are mostly settling one question: does the phone belong inside the scheduling software or beside it? Keeping it inside Jobber is neat when Jobber holds everything. Owners who shop around tend to juggle several numbers: a decade-old line painted on the truck, a seasonal snow-removal number, a landscaping brand bought from a retiring owner. Each deserves its own greeting and opening times, and all of them feed one Jobber account.

What GreetKeeper does differently from Jobber AI
- Two callers ringing together both get answered. GreetKeeper picks up simultaneous calls, so nobody sits in a queue behind a busy line.
- Each number you run keeps its own hours, greeting and calendar under one account: the truck-panel number, the shop line, a sister brand.
- Holiday shutdowns are simple. Set closure dates and it answers as closed on those days.
- It reads the name, number and appointment time back before it books, so every detail is confirmed with the caller first.
- Jobber receives a request with the client attached. GreetKeeper posts a signed webhook, a Catch Hook on a paid Zapier plan receives it, and Jobber's Zapier app files the request.
- Pricing tracks answered calls: $49 for 200, $149 for 750, $349 for 2,000. Fourteen days free, no card.
What a busy month costs on each meter
The headline price tells you about a quiet month. This is the other one.
Jobber charges a flat $29 monthly for Receptionist, layered on Core at $49 through Grow at $199, and the pricing page shows no call allowance for it. GreetKeeper's bill tracks volume instead. A lawn crew fielding 150 spring enquiries fits Starter's 200. Storm cleanup that lifts volume toward 700 lands inside Professional, 750 calls for $149, and anything beyond costs $0.35 apiece. Screened robocalls never touch the allowance, and the Zap writing into Jobber runs on your own Zapier subscription.
| Plan | Monthly | Calls included | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| StarterFor a single location taking calls one line at a time. | $49 | 200 | $0.45 per call |
| ProfessionalBooking, routing and transfers included, not an add-on. | $149 | 750 | $0.35 per call |
| ScaleFor busy phones and longer opening hours. | $349 | 2,000 | $0.25 per call |
Moving off Jobber AI in practice
The technical part is a forwarding change. The rest is the part nobody warns you about.
Nothing inside Jobber changes. Register, pick an area code, and let the assistant read your website to draft services, territory and opening times; correct anything it gets wrong. Next, build the Zap: Webhooks by Zapier listens for GreetKeeper's event, and Jobber's Zapier action files the request with the client. Ring it once from your cell to confirm the request shows up. Finally, divert busy and unanswered calls through your phone company. The ring count is set where the forwarding is set, and GreetKeeper answers the moment the call arrives.
Questions people ask about this comparison
How much is the Jobber AI Receptionist?
In September 2026 Jobber listed Receptionist at $29 monthly as an add-on for Core, Connect and Grow, bundled into Plus at $499. Core alone costs $49 billed monthly. GreetKeeper Starter costs $49 for 200 answered calls, scheduling included.
Does GreetKeeper connect to Jobber?
Yes, through Zapier. After every conversation GreetKeeper posts a signed event, Webhooks by Zapier receives it on a paid Zapier plan, and Jobber's Zapier app files a request under the client. Name, phone, address and the job described in the caller's language travel across.
Can two people call at the same time?
Yes. GreetKeeper answers calls that arrive together, so the next caller is greeted straight away while the first explains a burst pipe.
Can GreetKeeper schedule the visit, or does my office?
Either. It books straight into Google Calendar or Outlook mid-call, reading the time back first, or it files the request so your office schedules it in Jobber. The caller receives one text with the booking link or confirmation.
