Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 9 of the 15 other field service apps we grade
JobNimbus is a CRM and project management app for home exterior contractors, mainly roofing, restoration, solar, gutters, siding and fencing. It serves these builders and roofers more than service trades that run repair calls, with sales boards, estimates and e-signatures, roof measurements, supplier ordering, invoicing, payments and financing. Prices are quoted by plan, team size and add-ons.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about JobNimbus, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The phone app handles jobs, photos and teams out on site.
- 1
Best for roofing and exterior contractors with a sales team
It isn't made for repair calls, and you'll only get a price by asking.
- 2
You can try it first
14-day free trial, no credit card required
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 4
Sales boards and automations
Leads and jobs move across boards from first contact to payment, with automations capped at 10, 30 or 100 a month by plan and unlimited on Enterprise.
- 5
Estimates, proposals and e-sign
Unlimited estimates, documents and e-signatures on every plan, plus SumoQuote proposals that homeowners can sign on the spot.
- 6
Roof measurements and suppliers
Order roof measurements for a job, order materials straight from suppliers, and see each job's profit and cost breakdown in the profit tracker.
- 7
A 2.6 GPA, above 9 of 15
That is against the other field service apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace JobNimbus you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for roofing and exterior contractors with a sales team
JobNimbus is a CRM first, built for roofing, restoration and exterior work: sales boards, e-signed proposals, roof measurements and supplier orders, with a field app rated 4.79 from 12,805 ratings. It isn't made for repair calls, and you'll only get a price by asking.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial with no card needed. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Sales boards, automations, unlimited estimates and e-signatures, roof measurements, supplier ordering, a profit tracker, invoicing, payments and financing. Strong for exterior jobs, but the listing says dispatching and recurring visits aren't its focus. |
| Ease of use | A | 4.79 from 12,805 App Store ratings, one of the best in this category. The phone app handles jobs, photos and teams out on site. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks, SumoQuote and Snowflake, plus an API with webhooks. Only three integrations are listed, and there's no desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who JobNimbus is for
- Great if you run a roofing or restoration company selling jobs to homeowners
- Handy when you order roof measurements and materials for every job
- Good for siding, gutter and solar firms with a sales team chasing leads
Who it is not for
- 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
- Tight if you're on a smaller plan, as boards, automations and integrations are capped below Premium
Good to know
Good for
- Roofing and restoration contractors selling jobs to homeowners
- Siding, gutter, solar and fencing companies with a sales team
- Contractors who order materials from suppliers for each job
Worth knowing
- 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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
JobNimbus's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No prices are published: every plan is quoted by users and add-ons, so there's no figure for a crew of three.
We could not confirm JobNimbus’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. jobnimbus.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace JobNimbus you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline, quotes and estimates and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. JobNimbus’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
