Contractors looking to switch from Jobber are usually trying to simplify two things: daily job management and the cost of scaling the team. A migration should keep the useful history, avoid duplicate customers, and give the office a clear day-one checklist.
Conduit connects to Jobber through OAuth, so there is no API key to hunt down. You authorize access from Jobber, Conduit imports the supported records, and your Jobber account remains unchanged while you verify the data.
For a broader comparison, see /vs/jobber. For invoice collection and ACH payment details, see /payments.
Connect Jobber with OAuth
Open Conduit and go to Settings -> Import Data -> Import from Another Tool. Select Jobber, then start the OAuth connection.
- Click Connect to Jobber.
- Sign in to Jobber in the popup window.
- Approve Conduit’s read access when Jobber asks for authorization.
- Return to the Conduit wizard after the popup closes.
- Continue to the data import step.
Conduit does not receive your Jobber password. Jobber issues an authorization token, and you can revoke that token from Jobber’s connected-app settings after the move.
What Conduit Pulls from Jobber
The import focuses on the records a contractor needs to run current work:
- Customers and clients: names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, residential or commercial type, tags, and notes.
- Jobs and visits: title, scheduled date and time, status, and line-item information where available.
- Invoices: line items, totals, paid or unpaid status, customer link, issue date, and due date.
- Quotes: quote records are imported as Conduit bids.
Imported customer records retain the original source ID in source_external_id, so re-running the import can skip records that already came over.
Jobber Data That Needs a Second Look
Jobber’s data model is not identical to Conduit’s, so review these areas before you go live:
- Properties: Jobber clients can have multiple properties. The primary property becomes the Conduit address; secondary properties may need manual handling.
- Complex visit structures: visits with layered relationships can flatten into simpler Conduit jobs.
- Recurring schedules: recreate recurring work in Conduit if it should continue after launch.
- Job costing detail: line-item totals import, but detailed cost tracking starts fresh.
- Visit photos: notes can transfer, but photos tied to visits are not bulk-imported.
- Team time entries: Conduit time tracking starts after migration.
Verification Checklist
Keep Jobber active until you have checked the records that drive scheduling, billing, and customer communication.
- Review 5 to 10 customer records, especially customers with more than one property.
- Compare lifetime spend or invoice totals for a few high-value customers.
- Connect Stripe in Settings -> Payments.
- Invite each technician and office user to Conduit.
- Update active customers if invoice reminders will now come from a new sender.

| Platform | Listed monthly price | Listed detail | Listed 5-person team cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber | $39-199/mo | $29/extra user. Features gated by tier - need the highest plan for scheduling. | $155-315/mo |
| Conduit | $35-250/mo | Every feature included. No per-user fees. No setup costs. No contracts. | $65/mo |
Switch in Minutes, Not Weeks
Jobber’s OAuth import is usually the cleanest first pass. Conduit can also accept CSV exports, older spreadsheets, or a photo of a handwritten customer list when the team has important information outside the app. The AI-assisted importer reads the file or image, identifies customer and job fields, and maps them into Conduit’s records for review before you rely on them.
That gives you a practical path for both structured Jobber data and the informal records many contractors still keep in trucks, inboxes, and notebooks.
Payment Fee Savings
On a $10,000 invoice, standard card processing is about $290 before Conduit’s 1% platform fee. Conduit’s ACH option is a $1 platform fee plus Stripe ACH processing at 0.8% capped at $5, making the total ACH fee $6 on the same invoice.
If your Jobber replacement search is partly about margin, review payment fees as part of the switch. The subscription comparison is only one piece of what every collected invoice costs. More details are at /payments.
