Which one is for you

Pick JobNimbus if

  • Fits if you run a roofing or restoration company selling jobs to homeowners
  • Works for siding, gutter and solar firms that order roof measurements and materials for each job

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you run repair calls that need dispatching and recurring visits
  • Not for you if you want to see a price before you start a trial, as every plan is quoted
  • Tight if you're below Premium, as boards, automations and integrations are capped
  • Watch out: plans cap users at 3, 10 and 19, so one more hire moves you up a plan
  • Pricey if you want texting through Engage, which sits in add-on bundles priced on request

Pick ProDBX if

  • Fits if you build pools or fences and want supplier pricing in your estimates
  • Works for firms that want accounting kept inside the same system

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you work in any other trade, since the templates are built for these two
  • Tight if you are under 5 people, as the upper tiers need at least 5 users, Enterprise 10
  • Pricey if you want job costing and automations, which are $99 a user
  • Watch out: the page does not say if prices assume monthly or annual billing, and email and text beyond the free amounts are metered

How we grade them

Value for money
CNo prices are published: every plan is quoted by users and add-ons, so there's no figure for a crew of three. Its smallest plan caps users at 3, which fits a crew that size. No published price is a C by our rule.
DBasic is $19 a user but the project and estimating tools sit on $59 and $99 plans, which need at least 5 users. Professional for the minimum is $495 a month.
Free plan and trial
CA 14-day free trial with no card needed. No free plan.
DFirst 6 months of Basic are shown as free for new customers, in limited quantities. It is not a free plan and the page does not say if a card is needed.
Features
CSales boards, automations, unlimited estimates and e-signatures, roof measurements, supplier ordering, a profit tracker, invoicing, payments and financing. It's built around exterior jobs, and the listing says dispatching and recurring visits aren't its focus.
CCRM, estimating, project phases and accounting for two trades. Job costing is on Professional and the customer portal on Enterprise.
Ease of use
A4.79 from 12,805 App Store ratings, the top band for this category. The phone app handles jobs, photos and teams out on site.
CNo store rating on record, and estimates and templates have to be set up.

BWeb with QuickBooks, Gmail, Outlook and two pool-supply catalogues. No desktop or phone app is listed.

Worth knowing

JobNimbus

  • No prices are published: Essentials, Pro, Premium and Enterprise are all quoted by plan, number of users and add-ons.
  • Plans cap users at 3, 10 and 19, with Enterprise for 20 or more; boards, automations and integrations are capped below Premium.
  • It is built around exterior construction jobs, so service trades that need dispatching and recurring visits are not its focus.
  • The Marketing and Communications bundles, including Engage texting, are add-ons priced on request.

ProDBX

  • Essential and Professional require at least 5 users and Enterprise at least 10, so the real minimum bill is higher than the per-user figure.
  • The first 1,000 emails a month are free, then $0.004 each; the first 100 text messages are free, then $0.03 each.
  • The page does not say whether prices assume monthly or annual billing.
  • The 6-month introductory prices apply to new customers only and are described as available in limited quantities.

More comparisons

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
