Contractors outside roofing-restoration (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, general remodeling), or solo roofers who want the AI proposal generator more than the insurance-claim workflow.

Competitor
JobNimbus
from $25/mo (Basic) up to $75/mo (Advanced)

CRM + project management built for roofers, with strong claims of being the #1 platform for roofing-specific workflows (insurance restoration, supplements, materials orders).

ProJobCalc
ProJobCalc
Free · Pro $19/mo · Agency $49/mo

AI proposal generator + voice estimator + 40+ free trade calculators. Built for the solo contractor and small-shop bidding workflow.

Where JobNimbus is stronger.

  • Insurance-claim workflow purpose-built for storm restoration roofers — supplements, scopes of work, ACV/RCV calculations, claim attachments.
  • Material orders integration with Beacon / ABC Supply pricing feeds.
  • Roofing-specific photo features (aerial measurements, EagleView integration).
  • Sub-contractor crew tracking with payouts.

If any of these is the load-bearing reason you’d buy this software, JobNimbus is probably the right tool. We’d rather you use what fits.

Where ProJobCalc is stronger.

  • Not roofing-locked. ProJobCalc is trade-agnostic — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, general remodel — JobNimbus is roofing-first.
  • AI proposal generator — JobNimbus has templates, not generative.
  • Voice estimator (Sage) — speak it from the truck.
  • $19/mo Pro is cheaper than JobNimbus Basic ($25/mo) AND includes more proposal features.

Common questions.

I'm a roofer doing storm restoration — should I use ProJobCalc or JobNimbus?
JobNimbus, almost certainly. The insurance-claim workflow (ACV/RCV, supplements, claim scoping, EagleView) is genuinely load-bearing for restoration roofing, and ProJobCalc doesn't try to do it. We'd rather you use the right tool.
I do retail roofing (no insurance) — JobNimbus or ProJobCalc?
ProJobCalc is competitive for retail roofing. The AI proposal generator + roofing calculator + free tier means you can quote a roof job, send a branded proposal, mark won, and move on. JobNimbus's insurance workflow is overhead you don't need.
What about HVAC / electrical / plumbing — does JobNimbus fit?
JobNimbus has expanded into non-roofing trades but the product DNA is still roofing-first. ProJobCalc is genuinely trade-agnostic — 40+ calculators cover the full spectrum and the proposal generator doesn't assume insurance involvement.

Try ProJobCalc before you decide.

The free tier is real — 40+ trade calculators, unlimited estimates, up to 5 saved. No card to enter, no trial countdown. If you want the AI proposal generator + voice estimator, Pro is $19/mo with a 14-day trial.
