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 Roofr if

  • Fits if you run a roofing company and order measurement reports every week
  • Works for crews that want a free start to try proposals on

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you aren't a roofer, as it is built for roofing and isn't general field service
  • Tight if you stay free: 10 trial proposals, and card and ACH payments and texting need Essentials
  • Pricey if you quote often, as measurement reports are charged per report on every plan
  • Watch out: Instant Estimator is $149 monthly, and Roofr Sites and AI Receptionist are beta add-ons

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.
