Tiered plans with user limits, where higher tiers unlock automation, reporting and additional seats, and payment processing carries its own transaction fees. The effective cost depends on the seat count and tier you land on.

Honest advantages
The two things we genuinely do better
1. Workforce management is first class, not an extra
Jobber schedules jobs. Talstor schedules people as well: recurring shift rules, swaps, attendance, PTO policies and approvals, plus timesheets that reconcile against the job. If payroll accuracy and labour cost are part of the problem, that matters every week.
2. Seats do not change the price
Per user tiers make you ration logins, and office staff often get left out of the system as a result. Talstor prices by headcount band with every feature on, so you can put your whole team in without redoing the maths.
Where they win
Where Jobber is the better buy
Jobber has years of depth in home services: online booking, client communication, route planning, card payments and accounting sync. Talstor has no payment processing and no accounting integration yet. If you want customers booking themselves and paying in the tool, Jobber is ahead of us there.
