Jobber for locksmith companies: a calendar with seats, or a board without them.
Jobber is a good calendar with a published price and a seat for every extra person. For locksmith companies, Thorbis is a dispatch board rather than a calendar, one posted price for the company, and a crew that is never a seat count.

The work
The days locksmith companies run, on either system.
01
Emergency lockouts
Routed to the nearest truck with an ETA the customer can see: the minutes that decide who gets the job.
02
Commercial access
Recurring inspections, SLA terms, and renewals for the accounts that pay every month, with the work documented per site.
03
Automotive
VIN and ownership verified before dispatch, and the documentation kept on the job record.
The difference
Jobber beside Thorbis, for locksmith companies.

Is this comparison current?
The Jobber side is read from its own pricing page or from what shops report, as of August 2026, and it says which. If Jobber changes its model, this page is wrong until it is updated, and we would rather you check than trust a stale row.
