Jobber for septic services: 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 septic services, 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 septic services run, on either system.
01
Pump-out routes
The same tanks on a three-to-five-year clock. The route lives on the board with gallons, depth, and condition noted at the truck, not on a clipboard that stays in it.
02
Inspections
Point-of-sale and routine inspections with photos, findings, and the report on the record, sent to the agent or homeowner the same day, not after the weekend.
03
Repairs and installs
Baffles, risers, pumps, and full systems. Quoted from the book and scheduled around the route instead of against it.
The difference
Jobber beside Thorbis, for septic services.

septic services: pump-out routes, inspections, and repairs and installs.
The price
From $49 / month · $29 per extra person
$99 per company, posted. Unlimited people.
The model
Published tiers. Seats. Core, Connect, Grow, Plus.

The board
A good calendar. Dispatch is not a calendar.
The septic day on one board the office runs and the trucks read.
The old way
What the whiteboard costs septic services.
The tank’s history lives in a shoebox
Last pump-out date, sludge depth, lid location. When the record is paper, every visit starts by rediscovering the yard.
The route runs on memory
Which customers are due this season is a question the office answers by scrolling a spreadsheet. Due dates should surface themselves.
The emergency finds no record
A backup call from a customer you served in 2022 should open with the tank, the lid, and the last depth reading, not a blank screen.

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.
