Questions
Jobber vs Trakro: common questions
Can I use Jobber for a shredding business?
You can schedule and invoice jobs in Jobber, but it isn't built for shredding: its pricing page doesn't mention certificates of destruction, chain of custody or document destruction. Trakro creates certificates automatically and tracks off-site material from pickup to destruction.
Is Trakro cheaper than Jobber?
It depends on your team. As of November 2026, Jobber starts at $29 a month for one user and charges more for more users. Trakro is priced by trucks ($99 a month for one truck) with no per-user fees, so a crew with several drivers and office staff can pay less.
