What biohazard cleanup need from their software, from sources outside Jobber and outside Nexa:
Jobber covers the day-to-day running of a cleanup business well. It handles scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a mobile app for field crews, route optimization, and QuickBooks Online integration. Its photo and video storage and custom reports are on the Plus plan. Nothing in its listed features is a per-technician bloodborne pathogens training log, a store for hepatitis B vaccination and exposure records that must be kept for employment plus 30 years, or a place to track waste weight and disposal paperwork for annual state reporting. Its checklists, custom reports and photo storage might hold some of this informally, but the trade's core record-keeping is not what it was built for.
Nexa covers the business side: estimates that convert to invoices, a client pay portal through your own Stripe account, a CRM, jobs with costing and profit per job, a crew view of assigned jobs, time tracking, a payroll CSV, and bookkeeping. It has no training log, no separate vaccination or exposure records, and no field built for license numbers, permit numbers, waste weight or disposal records. It also has no SMS, no QuickBooks or Xero sync, and no route optimization or dispatch board, all of which Jobber offers or partly offers. Its automated emails send only while Nexa is open on one of your devices, and as software you own and run yourself it has no hosted support desk or vendor-run onboarding.
Over three years Jobber's Core plan at $49 a month comes to $588 a year, or $1,764. Nexa is $279 once, or $458.64 with optional Cloud Sync at $4.99 a month. Neither one handles the compliance records. Whichever you use for invoicing and scheduling, add a dedicated compliance and records-management tool for training logs, exposure and vaccination files, and licensing and waste-disposal documentation. Stay with Jobber if you rely on SMS, routing or QuickBooks. Nexa is a cheaper option only if you can do without those.
Our read for biohazard cleanup: Neither tool covers this trade's core need for training, vaccination and exposure records and per-job waste and licensing documentation, so add a dedicated compliance records-management tool alongside whichever one you use.

Jobber costs biohazard cleanup $588/year at today's list price. Nexa is $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking and accounting in one suite — so after 5.7 months it has cost less than Jobber, and you own it after that. What it is not: hosted-for-you software with a support desk and a roadmap you can lobby. That is the trade, and the rest of this page is the detail behind it.
Nexa is $279 once, about $23 a month over its first year. Its Drain Guard reads your expenses (from a linked bank, an imported statement, or ones you type in), finds the charges that repeat, and adds them up by the month. Keep or Cut then walks you through them one at a time. Cancel $23 a month of charges you'd forgotten about and Nexa has paid for itself inside the first year, before you count the Jobber bill you'd stop paying.
It depends on what you find and what you cancel, so we don't promise a number. In our demo data, Drain Guard finds 5 subscriptions adding up to $110.13 a month. That is sample data, not a customer's.
The verdict for biohazard cleanup: Neither Jobber nor Nexa is the main system for this work; start with software built for it. Nexa only makes sense beside it, at $279 once against $1,764 for Jobber over three years.
Time tracking, invoicing, job tracking and the books are the pieces of that day. Some tools rent you each piece separately. A few — Nexa among them — bundle the lot into something you buy once. The sections below price both routes honestly.
None of that is a software problem you can buy your way out of in one click — it is why the tool you pick matters more than what it costs. Jobber solves some of it. So does Nexa. The difference is what you are left holding in three years.
Today's list price is $49/month — $588 a year, from Jobber's own pricing page. Every figure below is that price, multiplied. Nothing is projected.
Nexa: $279 once (or 3 × $99). Over the same three years, that is $1,485 less.
If Jobber raises its price, the three-year cost goes up; if it cuts it, the cost comes down. We don't guess which. Add-ons, extra seats and card-processing fees are not included, on either side.

✓ and ✗ for Jobber come from its own published feature list. — means the feature isn't in that list, which is not the same as Jobber lacking it: check with them. Three years is at today's price.
Straight from Jobber's own feature set. If one of these is the reason you pay them, that reason does not disappear because Nexa is cheaper.
Jobber is the better call if you need built for home services specifically, or if your team is large enough that per-seat pricing still beats buying software outright.
Jobber is built for home and commercial field service businesses. Its homepage names 12 trades, including cleaning, HVAC, landscaping, plumbing, roofing and tree care, and says it serves service pros in over 50 industries. (getjobber.com)

Software doesn't do the actual work — it automates the business around it. And that part is the same for every biohazard cleanup technician: find the work, manage it, bill for it, get paid. Each step has a tool — and the right single tool runs the whole loop, so the handoffs are automatic and you get back to the actual work. Tap a step to see what gets automated.
A lead, a call, a referral — and a quote or estimate that turns it into a booked job.
The part you actually get paid for — with the time, materials, add-ons, and tasks tracked as you go, not guessed at later.
The work becomes the invoice — the hours, the add-ons, the materials, the deposit credited — totaled and sent, instead of re-typed at 9pm.
Paid by card or link, the deposit credited, and what's overdue chased — without you doing it by hand.
You can stitch four separate subscriptions across these four steps, or run one tool that does the whole flow so a booking becomes a job becomes an invoice becomes a payment without re-typing. Either way the goal is the same: less time on the business of the business, more on the actual work. (Nexa is built to be the one — but the honest options for each step are above and below.)
Jobber plus whatever else you're paying for:

The median Biohazard Cleanup Technician earns $55,000/year. At $588/year, Jobber is a recurring slice of that — paid again every year, whether the year was good or not. Owning the same jobs outright is $279 once, and the slice stops.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for biohazard cleanup. You own it like you own your Full PPE: Tyvek suits, double nitrile gloves, boot covers, and full-face respirators with P100 cartridges.
An honest fit check — because the wrong tool is worse than no tool.
The honest fit: if you're a solo or small biohazard cleanup business that owns its tools and is sick of renting software, Nexa replaces your whole stack for $279 once. If you're scaling past a handful of crews, a fleet platform may fit better — and we'd rather tell you that now than sell you the wrong thing.
Year-round construction in SoCal. Fire season (June-November) drives restoration demand. Drought impacts landscaping. Earthquake retrofitting is ongoing market.
Extreme summer heat drives HVAC demand. Hurricane risk on Gulf Coast. Year-round construction. Rapid population growth in DFW, Austin, Houston, San Antonio creates sustained demand. Freeze events (like 2021) create emergency plumbing/HVAC surge.

The call doesn't keep office hours: an unattended death, a suicide, a vehicle accident, sometimes a hoarding scene with a health risk. He arrives in full PPE, sets containment so nothing tracks beyond the affected room, and assesses what's porous and has to be removed versus what can be decontaminated in place. The work itself is methodical and grim: removing affected materials into red bags and regulated waste containers, then disinfecting every surface with hospital-grade chemistry, then verifying with a surface test that it's actually decontaminated and not just visibly clean. Decomposition scenes mean running a hydroxyl or ozone machine for the odor that soaks into structure. Throughout, he's mindful that a grieving family is often just outside, and the way he talks to them matters as much as the work. The waste can't just go in a dumpster: it has to be manifested and hauled to a licensed facility, and that paper trail is the law. He documents the scene, the materials removed, and the disposal manifest, then heads home knowing the next call could come at 3 a.m. He ends the day reconciling disposal paperwork and which jobs are still awaiting a final clearance wipe.

The tools of the trade — each a one-time buy that earns its keep for years.
Here's the bar that matters: you spent $3,150–$15,700 on tools that last for years, and never thought twice. So why should the software cost more than your whole kit — every single year? Hold it to the same standard as a good tool: $279, once.
We build a biohazard cleanup technician's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a biohazard cleanup technician — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
For solo biohazard cleanup and small teams, yes. invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting — all for $279 once. Jobber may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.
Jobber has features like Built for home services and Mobile app for field teams that some businesses rely on. For most solo biohazard cleanup, these aren't dealbreakers.
At $49/month, Nexa pays for itself in 5.7 months. After that: $588 saved every year.
