What customers say.
RoofR
Strengths
- Pricing is fully published, including a permanently free Starter tier — rare in this category
- $13–$19 measurement reports with ~2-hour turnaround replace EagleView spend for many shops
- Strategic ABC Supply investment opens supply-chain depth no other roofing CRM has
- Ease of use is the most frequently cited praise across G2 and Capterra reviews
Tradeoffs
- QuickBooks integration is one-way; two-way sync is the single most-repeated reviewer complaint
- Production-side features (scheduling, crew dispatch, inventory) are thin and shops over ~25 employees often outgrow it
- Measurement accuracy has reported edge cases on flashing quantities and roof pitch, especially on complex roofs
JobNimbus
Strengths
- Customizable workflows and drag-and-drop pipelines — the most consistently cited strength across 550+ G2 and Capterra reviews
- Mobile app averages around 4.8 stars; GPS-tagged photos with timestamps are repeatedly cited for insurance documentation
- Deep integration ecosystem covering EagleView, Hover, Beacon, ABC Supply, and QuickBooks
- One of the largest installed bases in the roofing CRM category, with a deep template library and active user community
Tradeoffs
- Pricing is fully sales-gated; reviewers consistently report total cost lands 2–3x initial expectation once seats, texting, and payments fees stack
- Email system is widely criticized — formatting, delivery, and tracking issues; vendor has publicly committed to an overhaul on the 2026 roadmap
- Photo storage caps with weak recovery — one Capterra reviewer reported losing ~2,000 job photos with no recovery path
