What radon mitigators need from their software, from sources outside Jobber and outside Nexa:
Jobber covers much of what a radon mitigator does day to day. Its Core plan handles online booking and scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments and reporting, so a flat-fee per-job quote and the follow-up visit for the post-mitigation test (24 hours to 30 days after install) can be booked as ordinary jobs. The Connect plan adds checklists, automated client reminders, quote and invoice follow-ups and QuickBooks Online sync, which suit a test-and-recheck workflow. It also has a mobile app, photo storage on higher plans, and 1-on-1 product support. What it does not do is radon-specific. It has no field for Utah contractor licensing, AARST/NRPP certification or two-year recertification, and no place for warning-device details or warranty terms and transfer language. You would keep those in notes, checklists or a separate tracker.
Nexa covers the quoting and paperwork side: estimates and proposals that convert to invoices, a client pay portal through your own Stripe account where clients can sign estimates, jobs with costing and profit per job, recurring jobs, a booking page, and a CRM. It also has bookkeeping and works offline. It shares Jobber's gap on licensing and certification tracking, and it has no job templates. Its clients have no street-address field, which makes per-site equipment records awkward. It has no QuickBooks or Xero sync, no text messaging, no Google Calendar sync and no route optimization. Its automated emails, including reminders for the follow-up test, send only while Nexa is open on one of your devices. It is software you run yourself, with no hosted support desk or vendor-run onboarding.
Over three years Jobber's $49/month plan costs $1,764 ($588 a year). Nexa costs $279 once, or $458.64 with optional $4.99/month Cloud Sync, since without sync it runs on one device. The savings are real for a solo mitigator who works from one device, is comfortable with Stripe, and does bookkeeping inside Nexa. If you rely on automated reminders that go out without an open app, text messages, QuickBooks sync or vendor support, stay with Jobber. Whichever you use, keep credential renewals and post-test results in a calendar or checklist.
Our read for radon mitigators: Stay with Jobber if you depend on reminders that send on their own, QuickBooks sync, text messaging or hosted support; Nexa is the cheaper option only for a solo, single-device operator who can live without them.

Jobber costs radon mitigators $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 radon mitigators: Stay with Jobber if the needs in our read above apply to you. If they don't, Nexa covers the core invoicing, scheduling and books for $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 radon mitigator: 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 Radon Mitigator 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 radon mitigators. You own it like you own your A radon-rated inline fan sized to the soil and the suction-point demand.
An honest fit check — because the wrong tool is worse than no tool.
The honest fit: if you're a solo or small radon mitigators 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 day usually starts with a test result, not a wrench: a home read high, and a buyer's contract is waiting on him to fix it. He cores a suction point through the slab in the basement corner, digs out a small pit beneath for the fan to pull from, and checks sub-slab communication with the smoke pencil to see how far the suction reaches. He runs PVC up through the rim or a closet, out through the roof above the eave line, and mounts the inline fan in the attic or outside so the run stays under negative pressure inside the living space. He glues the joints, seals the sump lid and any visible slab cracks, and watches the manometer settle to confirm the fan is actually pulling. Then comes the part he can't rush: a continuous monitor has to sit for the test period before he knows it passed. A panicked agent calls asking if it'll clear before Friday's closing. He labels the system, fills out the placard with his certification, and schedules the post-test pickup. Late in the day he's checking which jobs are awaiting a retest result and which need a second suction point because the first reading barely moved.

The tools of the trade — each a one-time buy that earns its keep for years.
Here's the bar that matters: you spent $1,905–$8,910 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 radon mitigator'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 radon mitigator — 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 radon mitigators 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 radon mitigators, these aren't dealbreakers.
