Comparison
Tree service software pricing: every published number, one table.
Six tools, six pricing models. Per company, per user, per office licence plus crew login, monthly or annual only. This is the September 2026 list with the plan names, the amounts, the contract terms, and what each price actually buys, so the comparison is between like and like.

Short version
The list price is the least useful number on any of these pages. What matters is the total for your seat count, whether you are signing a year, and whether the tool does the work you are paying for. PHC Rx is $99 to $699 a month per company, month to month, and it does the one job none of the others do.
The market: Jobber, Arborgold, SingleOps, ArborNote, ArboStar
Five office systems priced five ways. Jobber prices by plan with a user count included and discounts annual prepay heavily. Arborgold prices by tier on an annual contract with 60 days notice. SingleOps prices by tier per office with a per-user add-on. ArborNote prices per user. ArboStar prices by office licence and crew login with setup and training included. Published entry prices run from $49 to $240 a month; top published tiers from $499 to $550, with per-user and custom plans above that.
Best for: reading with the seat count in hand. A five-person company pays wildly different totals across these models for the same list price.
PHC Rx
Diagnosis, species-specific treatment, label check, and a prescription the client approves. It sits beside your scheduling tool rather than replacing it.
Best for: companies that sell plant health care and need the clinical record behind it.

What is not in the list price
Arborgold sells mobile-only licences, integrations, training, and data migration separately and requires an annual contract with 60 days notice. SingleOps adds office and sales users at $55 to $150 a month each depending on tier. ArborNote is per user, so every tech with a login is a line on the bill. ArboStar includes migration, setup, and live training in the licence price, which is worth several hundred dollars against the others if you have data to move. Jobber's annual prices are prepaid for the year and the monthly prices are roughly double.
PHC Rx has one add-on: the chemicals you buy through the in-app shop, which are sold at the product price with Net 30 for verified companies. Everything else is in the plan.
Pricing the PHC work, not the software
The other way to read this table is per tree. A 16 inch maple injected for spotted lanternfly at $18 per inch is $288. A PHC crew doing three injections a day is invoicing $800 to $1,500 a day. Against that, $199 a month for the diagnosis, rate, and label check is one injection. The pricing guide covers what to charge; the injection pricing guide covers the per-inch math.

FAQ
Questions arborists ask
How much does tree service software cost?
Published entry plans run from $49 a month (Jobber Core) to $240 per user per month (ArborNote). Mid-tier plans for a small office run $139 to $440 a month depending on the pricing model. PHC Rx, which is the clinical layer rather than the office, is $99 to $699 a month per company.
What is the cheapest tree service software?
Jobber Core at $49 a month for one user is the cheapest published office plan. It has no tree inventory or PHC features. For a solo PHC operator, Jobber Core plus PHC Rx Solo is $148 a month for both halves.
Which tree care software charges per user?
ArborNote prices entirely per user. SingleOps prices per office with a per-user add-on. Jobber and Arborgold include a user count in each tier. ArboStar prices by office licence and crew login. PHC Rx prices per company by seat band.
Does any of this include the plant health care work?
The office systems schedule and invoice PHC. None diagnose, dose, or check labels. PHC Rx does that part; it runs alongside any of the five and syncs with Jobber.
