What rv detailer need from their software, from sources outside Jobber and outside Nexa:
Jobber covers the field-service basics a mobile RV detailer runs on: online booking and scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a mobile app for the crew, and route optimization for travel between sites. The Connect plan adds automated client reminders, checklists and QuickBooks Online sync. The Grow plan adds two-way SMS and job costing, and the Plus plan adds unlimited photo and video storage. Checklists and photos could help record wash-water handling on each job. The listed features don't mention state sales-tax rules, such as Missouri's treatment of mobile detailing as non-taxable (with tax still owed on supplies), or resale-exemption paperwork for dealer customers. Neither do they mention wastewater permit notes, so a detailer would have to keep that compliance record in notes or checklists themselves.
Nexa covers the business side well: estimates that convert to invoices, a client pay portal through your own Stripe account, a public booking page, jobs with costing and profit per job, crew assignments, time tracking, expenses, and sales tax tracking. Its CRM notes and tags could hold a dealer's exemption paperwork or a wash-water permit note. It works offline and has a simple stock count for supplies. It has no text messaging, no route optimization or dispatch board, and no QuickBooks or Xero sync. A client record has no street-address field, which is awkward for work done at the customer's site. Its automated emails (reminders, sequences, workflows) send only while Nexa is open on one of your devices, and support is self-serve because you own and run the software.
Over three years Jobber at $49 a month comes to $1,764. Nexa is $279 once, or $458.64 with the optional $4.99 monthly Cloud Sync, which you need to use more than one device. If you rely on texting customers, routing between sites or QuickBooks, stay with Jobber. If you work alone, mostly invoice, and can live without those, Nexa is a much cheaper fit.
Our read for rv detailer: Jobber's texting, route optimization and QuickBooks sync are things mobile detailers lean on and Nexa lacks, so stay unless you can do without them and want the lower three-year cost.

Jobber costs rv detailer $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 rv detailer: 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.
Invoicing, time tracking, 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 rv detailer: 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.)

The median RV Detailer earns $48,000/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 rv detailer. You own it like you own your Extension-pole brushes and foam cannon for tall walls and high roofs.
An honest fit check — because the wrong tool is worse than no tool.
The honest fit: if you're a solo or small rv detailer 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.
Invoicing, time tracking, 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.
An RV is the biggest single thing I'll detail, sometimes more surface area than a small house, so a full job can eat a day or two. Most of the fight is up high and on big flat panels: the fiberglass sidewalls oxidize chalky in the sun, and bringing them back means compounding and waxing from a ladder, working the extension poles for the parts I can't reach, panel by panel down a forty-foot coach. Black streaks are the signature RV problem, dark runoff dripping from every seam, awning rail, and vent, and I can scrub them off, but I tell owners they'll come right back unless we deal with the source. That takes me to the roof, which is where the real value is: I'm walking a rubber or fiberglass roof inspecting seams, checking the sealant around vents and the AC, and resealing with self-leveling lap sealant before a tiny gap lets water into the walls and rots the whole rig. Down below it's bug-blasted front caps, wheel wells, and slide-out seals. It's physical, ladder-heavy work in the sun, and the size scares off a lot of detailers. When an owner pulls a chalky, streaked rig in and drives out with it glossy and sealed up tight for the season, that's a job worth the sweat.

The tools of the trade — each a one-time buy that earns its keep for years.
Here's the bar that matters: you spent $1,160–$4,400 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 rv detailer'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 rv detailer — 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 rv detailer 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 rv detailer, these aren't dealbreakers.
At $49/month, Nexa pays for itself in 5.7 months. After that: $588 saved every year.
