Honest answer: Jobber is a great general-purpose field-service tool. If you run a small plumbing or lawn-care company, it's an easy recommendation. For insulation, the math is different.

It's a solid general-purpose platform but lacks foam math, assembly library, and crew pack list. For insulation-specific operations, a purpose-built tool like InsulatorOS removes that friction.
InsulatorOS scales by crew rather than per-seat, so it stays flat as your team grows. Jobber's Core plan starts around $69 for one user but scales per-seat — by the time you add crew members you're past InsulatorOS pricing. The optional CRM Pro add-on (with IVY Sales Coach) is $49/month with a 14-day free trial. And Jobber has no foam math built in.
Yes. Export customers as CSV from Jobber, import into InsulatorOS. Open quotes can be re-issued in InsulatorOS — usually faster because the foam math is automatic.
Yes — cards + ACH. Invoice the customer in-app, they pay online, money lands in your account.
