JobTread vs Roofr (2026): which should you pick?

Pick JobTread if

• Fits if you run a building or remodelling company and want estimates, logs and payments together
• Works for crews that want customers and vendors to log into a portal

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you work alone, as one user still costs $199 a month
• Not for you if you want to try it free first, since the page shows no trial
• Skip it if you want a store app: it is not in the App Store or Google Play
• Watch out: accountants and other non-employees can count as internal users at $20 each if they need access to your data

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
