Why businesses choose Strata
The car is the record
Vehicles on file, booking priced by size, and the estimate, the appointment and the invoice all know which one. No custom fields to invent.
Grow's features on Pro's price
Options, two-way texting and review requests are on Strata Pro at $89. At Jobber they are Grow plus a $99 suite.
2 more reasons
Memberships, not just recurring jobs
A customer buys a monthly plan on your own Stripe and the covered visit stays off the invoice.
Plain about where Jobber is ahead
Time tracking, routing, forms, an AI receptionist and a website builder are real. If your crew runs on them, that belongs in your decision.

Why leave Jobber for an automotive product?
Because the vehicle is the job. Strata keeps it on the customer, prices the booking by its size and carries it through the estimate and the invoice. Jobber offers custom fields.
Is Strata cheaper than Jobber?
For the features a detailing or tint business uses daily, yes: Strata Pro $89 against Jobber Grow $199 to $299 plus the $99 Marketing Suite. Jobber Core at $49 is cheaper and lacks options, two-way texting and reviews.
What will I lose?
GPS time tracking, routing, job forms, the AI Receptionist, the website builder, Wisetack financing and the API. Strata has none of those today.
How does the import work?
Export clients from Jobber, import by CSV, and add vehicles as jobs come in. Strata previews the file first.
