“To get what CentralCommand includes at $279/month, you'd need Jobber Plus at $529/month, plus Reviews ($39/mo), plus Campaigns ($29/mo), plus AI ($99/mo). That's $696/month before payment markup. And you still wouldn't have a unified inbox, vendor portal, AI site assessments, or smart review gating.”
