Commercial roofing proposals are not residential estimates with bigger numbers. They go to property managers, facility teams and general contractors, they cover low-slope systems and longer scopes, and they get compared line by line. We compared 10 proposal platforms on pricing, branding, e-signature, measurement, payment terms and commercial fit, using vendor pages checked on October 5, 2026.
The best proposal software for commercial roofing contractors in 2026 is QuoteIQ. It combines branded Proposal+ documents, Good/Better/Best options, online signing, satellite measurement, deposits, Net 15 to Net 90 invoice terms and job costing in one platform, with plans from $29.99 a month. ServiceTitan is the stronger pick for large commercial service operations that can staff an implementation. JobNimbus and AccuLynx suit roofers who split residential and commercial work, and Buildertrend suits plan-driven, general-contractor-style bids.
| Rank | Platform | Starting Price | Best For | Standout Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo (Essentials) | Small and mid-size commercial roofing contractors | Proposal+ with options, e-signature and satellite measurement |
| #2 | ServiceTitan | Custom — contact sales | Large commercial service operations | Proposal Builder tied to a pricebook |
| #3 | JobNimbus | Custom — contact sales | Roofers splitting residential and commercial | Manufacturer templates and Good-Better-Best |
| #4 | AccuLynx | Custom — contact sales | Roofing-only CRM with measurement ordering | Estimates to signable proposals |
| #5 | Housecall Pro | $59/mo (Basic, billed annually) | Light commercial repair and service work | Visual Sales Proposal tool on MAX ($299/mo) |
| #6 | Buildertrend | Custom — contact sales | Plan-driven, general-contractor-style bids | Takeoff-fed estimates become proposals |
| #7 | BuildOps | Custom — contact sales | Mid-market commercial contractors | Quote approvals and one-click conversion to job |
| #8 | Roofr | Free (Starter); $209/mo (Essentials, annual) | Fast measured proposals and free testing | Aerial reports plus Good/Better/Best proposals |
| #9 | Jobber | $29/mo (Core, billed annually) | Budget quoting for small repair crews | Online approval with deposits |
| #10 | PandaDoc | Free; $19/user/mo (Starter, annual) | Proposal and e-sign layer on top of a CRM | Quote builder and pricing tables on Business |
Pricing verified on vendor pages on October 5, 2026. “Custom” means the vendor does not publish prices. Annual-billing prices are shown unless stated, and vendors change pricing often, so confirm before you buy.
We’re QuoteIQ, and we made this list, so we’ll say it plainly: QuoteIQ is #1 because we think it earns the spot for the contractors described below, and here is exactly how we got there. We did not run hands-on trials of the other nine tools. Competitor claims come from vendor pages and the third-party sources linked in this article, and Capterra and G2 scores were not pulled. Five criteria drove every ranking decision:
The ranking is about the proposal workflow, not about who runs the biggest operation. A large commercial service department with a dedicated office team may rightly pick ServiceTitan or BuildOps, and a general-contractor-style roofer may prefer Buildertrend, and each of them sits in the top half of this list for that reason. Vendors that hide pricing or avoid saying who the product is for lost points on transparency, and a vendor that states its focus plainly, as JobNimbus does, gained credit for it. Because these tools change quickly, treat every price and feature here as a snapshot from October 5, 2026.
“You define what ‘done correctly’ looks like in writing, then you measure against it every time.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
QuoteIQ is the platform we built so a contractor can scope, price, send and get a job signed from one app, and for commercial roofing the proposal is the part that matters most. Any estimate can go out as a full Proposal+ document with your company story, services, a photo gallery, supporting documents and customer reviews. You preview it before it sends and save it as a template for the next bid. The customer reads it as one scrolling page with a side menu that jumps to each section, which makes a long commercial scope easier to read and to sign. Proposal+ is available on every paid plan. It costs 100 IQ Credits once per estimate on Essentials, Beginner and Pro, and it is included at no credit cost on Elite and Max and during the 14-day trial.
Commercial buyers rarely say yes to a number; they say yes to a scope. QuoteIQ lets you build that scope with line items and sub-items, so tear-off, insulation, membrane, flashing and curb work sit under a parent line, and Hide Line Item Prices lets you present a lump sum when that suits the bid. Options Estimates present Good/Better/Best choices, such as a coating restoration, a recover system and a full replacement, and the customer picks one and signs online.
After approval the same record converts to an invoice in one tap. Invoices support deposits, partial payments and Net 15, Net 30, Net 60 and Net 90 terms, and customers can pay online by card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Additional contacts can be attached to the customer, job, estimate and invoice, so the property manager, the owner’s representative and accounts payable each get the paperwork without anyone forwarding emails.
What a commercial proposal looks like in QuoteIQ: after the walkthrough, you scope the roof in MapMeasure Pro or from your site photos, build the estimate with parent lines and sub-items, add Good/Better/Best options if the client has a choice to make, and attach the documents a facility team asks for, such as insurance and warranty paperwork. Proposal+ turns it into a branded page you send by text, email or link, and you can track when the customer views it. When they sign, the estimate converts to an invoice with the deposit and Net terms you set, and an accepted maintenance scope can convert to a recurring subscription so the next visit is already on the books.
Best for: Roofing contractors from solo operators through 20-person companies that win commercial repair, maintenance, coating and re-cover work and want one platform from proposal to payment.
Plans: Essentials $29.99/mo (1 user), Beginner $74.99/mo (2 users), Pro $149.99/mo (4 users), Elite $299/mo (10 users) and Max $699/mo (20 users). Extra seats are $25 per person per month on any paid plan, and annual billing includes two months free.
Pros
Cons
“Speed and specificity, in that order.”
— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
Verdict: If your commercial work is repair, maintenance, coatings and re-cover, and you want branded proposals, options, signatures and payment terms in one place without an implementation project, QuoteIQ is the strongest fit on this list. Solo operators start on Essentials at $29.99/mo. Teams that want satellite measurement move to Beginner, teams that want job costing and a client portal move to Pro, and teams sending a lot of proposals usually land on Elite at $299/mo, where Proposal+ carries no credit cost. Large operations that need deep dispatch and reporting should also look at ServiceTitan or QuoteIQ Max.
ServiceTitan’s roofing page positions the platform for both residential and commercial roofing, and its own blog on commercial versus residential roofing describes the setting where that matters: commercial jobs “start at $20,000 and can exceed $100,000,” run for weeks and involve several stakeholders. On the proposal side, ServiceTitan offers a Proposal Builder with customizable templates connected to the pricebook, Good, Better, Best estimate templates, and online estimates with typed or touchscreen e-signature and a PDF copy for the customer. Estimates go out from the mobile app, and the platform lists integrated financing partners, which is mostly useful on the residential side of a mixed roofing business.
Pricing: not published. The pricing page lists three tiers, Starter, Essentials and The Works, each marked “Request Pricing,” and describes per-technician pricing. Third-party trackers report monthly per-technician figures in the hundreds of dollars plus one-time implementation fees, but those numbers are not vendor-confirmed and the ranges disagree, so treat them as a reason to budget for a sales process rather than as a quote.
Where it fits: ServiceTitan makes the most sense when proposals are one part of a larger operation: dispatch, a dedicated office team, service agreements and reporting across many technicians. For a crew that mainly needs to get a clean, signed proposal out the same day as the site walk, most of that depth sits unused while the implementation effort is very real. We also did not find roofing-specific takeoff detail on the vendor pages beyond the pricebook-linked templates.
Ask in the demo: how long a roofing implementation takes, which tier includes the Proposal Builder and mobile estimates, what implementation and training fees apply, and whether you can speak with a roofing customer of your size.
Best for: Commercial roofing and service operations with 20+ field staff and a dedicated office team to run the platform.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: If you run a large commercial service department and have the staff to implement it, ServiceTitan is the safe enterprise pick. For everyone below that size, the cost-to-complexity ratio rarely pencils out for proposal work alone.
JobNimbus is a roofing-focused CRM, and its estimating tools are the reason roofers pick it. Every plan includes estimates, documents, e-signature, invoices, financing options and a mobile app. Pre-built manufacturer templates cover GAF, Owens Corning, TAMKO and CertainTeed, a one-click view shows Good-Better-Best options, and measurements can auto-fill from EagleView or be entered by hand. Supplier pricing from Beacon PRO+, QXO, SRS, IKO and ABC Supply can feed estimates, and an integration with SumoQuote produces formatted proposals.
Commercial fit: JobNimbus is candid about its roots. Its roofing FAQ says the product is “built for residential roofing contractors first,” and adds that many roofing businesses doing both residential and commercial work are “thriving with JobNimbus.” Roofing Software Guide is more pointed, saying the contact-to-job hierarchy in tools like JobNimbus and Roofr “struggles with the realities of commercial work,” such as one facility manager with many properties.
Pricing: not published. Plans are Essentials (up to 3 users), Pro (up to 10), Premium (up to 19) and Enterprise (20+ users), with monthly or annual agreements and no required setup or onboarding fees. Two third-party price listings contradict each other and the vendor’s current plan names, so we are not repeating either.
Ask in the demo: how one property manager with ten buildings is modeled, whether commercial work can run without a homeowner-style contact-to-job structure, and which user tier covers your office and field staff.
Best for: Roofing contractors whose mix is mostly residential with a growing share of commercial repair and re-cover work.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A strong choice when shingle-style sales workflows still drive the business and commercial is a growing side. If commercial accounts are the core, compare it against a platform built around property managers and recurring work.
AccuLynx builds estimates “using custom templates or starting from scratch” on a phone, tablet or desktop, and says you can “turn estimates into fully branded, signable proposals in just a few clicks.” The estimating tools include line-item waste factors and a profit-margin slider, and EagleView, Hover, Geospan, GAF QuickMeasure and RoofSnap measurements can be ordered inside the job file. Financing options are available, and the plan-options page lists add-ons such as SmartDocs, Customer Portal, AccuFi, ReportsPlus, Texting and a Mobile Crew App.
Commercial fit: the AccuLynx homepage describes the product for roofing companies that “primarily focus on residential insurance restoration and retail roofing,” and we found no commercial mention on its estimating, FAQ or plan-options pages. Roofing Software Guide, updated September 23, 2026, ranks it first in its commercial roofing roundup but still calls it “residential-first, growing commercial,” and notes it is weak on preventive maintenance scheduling.
Pricing: not published. The pricing page is a “Talk to Sales” form and the plan-options page promises a custom quote. A third-party estimate from Projul puts it at roughly $55 to $75+ per user per month with annual contracts and an onboarding fee, but that is an estimate drawn from contractor reports, not a vendor figure.
Ask in the demo: which add-ons you need to send signable proposals and run a customer portal, how pricing scales with users, and how recurring service agreements and multi-property accounts are handled.
Best for: Roofing-only companies that want measurement ordering and production tracking tied directly to their estimates.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: If you want a roofing-only CRM with strong measurement and production workflow, AccuLynx is worth a demo. Ask specifically how it handles multi-property accounts and recurring service agreements before you commit.
Housecall Pro is a general home-service platform with a published price list, and its roofing page answers the commercial question directly: “Housecall Pro supports both residential and commercial roofing operations.” The proposal tooling scales by plan. Basic includes quotes and proposals sent by text or email, Essentials adds estimates and invoicing, flat-rate pricing and photo reports, and the MAX plan lists a Sales Proposal tool for visual proposals “with customized images and side-by-side comparisons.” The estimating page also mentions Good, Better, Best templates, signatures from desktop or mobile, financing for bigger jobs and on-site change-order pricing.
Pricing (vendor-published, billed annually): Basic $59 per month for one user, Essentials $149 for up to five users, and MAX $299 for eight users with extra users at $35 each. Monthly billing is $79, $189 and $329. Promotional first-month pricing appeared on some page loads, so confirm the offer in force when you sign up. Note that the visual Sales Proposal tool sits on MAX, the top tier.
Where it fits: leak repairs, inspections and small commercial service calls fit the quote-by-text workflow well. The vendor pages do not show multi-bid tracking, plan-set takeoff or multi-property account structures, which is where longer commercial bids tend to need more.
Ask in the demo: what the Sales Proposal tool looks like on a long commercial scope, how extra users are priced on your tier, and how a commercial customer is set up with several contacts and billing terms.
Best for: Small roofing crews whose commercial work is mostly repairs, inspections and short-scope service calls.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A solid fit for repair-heavy commercial work where speed of quoting matters more than bid-management depth. Check that the proposal features you want are on the tier you can afford.
Buildertrend is construction project management software, not a roofing CRM, and it shows in how estimates work. The estimating tool uses a cost catalog and standardized templates, takeoff quantities feed into estimates, and the vendor says you can “instantly turn your estimate into a professional proposal” from reusable templates. Proposals can carry digital signatures, and approved estimates convert into projects and budgets. The estimating page lists “specialty/trade contractors” and “commercial general contractors” among its audience, though roofing is not mentioned on the pages we reviewed.
Pricing: not published. The vendor says “unlimited users, unlimited projects,” offers 10% off annual subscriptions paid upfront and bills annually or quarterly. It directs the product at “more established builders who need robust, scalable tools,” with five or more projects a year or complex, multi-phase builds. Third-party sources put entry plans roughly in the $340 to $500 per month range, but they disagree and are not Buildertrend-confirmed.
Where it fits: roofing contractors who bid like general contractors, with plan sets, multi-phase schedules and budgets to track, will find the estimate-to-project flow useful. A crew that mostly does repairs, coatings and maintenance visits would be buying a lot of project-management weight for a proposal problem. QuoteIQ’s own Buildertrend comparison frames it as service CRM versus construction PM.
Ask in the demo: whether roofing-specific templates exist, how a repair or maintenance job is handled outside a full project, what the annual price is for your revenue bracket, and what onboarding costs.
Best for: Roofing firms that run multi-phase, plan-driven commercial projects and want proposals feeding budgets and schedules.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Worth a demo if you operate like a general contractor. If your commercial work is service-driven, a service CRM with strong proposals will be faster to adopt.
BuildOps is the most openly commercial platform on this list. Its own words: “Most platforms started in residential and stretched to fit. BuildOps starts with the complexity of commercial work,” and it cites 1,500+ commercial contractors. The quoting flow includes customer e-signature, manager approval before a quote goes out, a built-in pricebook with sections that duplicate in one click, mobile quoting on site, photo and video attachments, and read tracking. An approved quote converts in one click to a job, a project or a service agreement, which is the commercial pattern in a sentence.
The roofing caveat: the trades BuildOps lists are HVAC and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire and life safety, and refrigeration. Roofing is not named on any vendor page we reviewed, so a roofing contractor would be adapting a commercial service platform rather than adopting a roofing one. Good-better-best options, financing and takeoff were also not mentioned on the pages we read.
Pricing: not published. The vendor says pricing is custom, based on field and office users, trades, integrations and crew size, with implementation and onboarding support included on every plan and add-on modules for Fleet+, Payments+ and CRM+. Third-party figures range from about $49 to $300 per user per month and contradict one another, so none of them is reliable.
Ask in the demo: for roofing customer references, how a roofing scope is built in the pricebook, whether good-better-best options are supported, and how an approved quote becomes a recurring service agreement.
Best for: Mid-market commercial contractors that want quote-to-service-agreement workflows and can adapt a commercial service platform to roofing.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Interesting for roofing companies whose commercial business looks like a mechanical contractor’s, with agreements and approvals. Ask for roofing references before you move forward.
Roofr pairs aerial measurement reports with proposals, and it is the only tool here with a free plan. The vendor describes a “fully customizable proposal with your pricing, business info,” offers good, better, best options, and tracks every proposal view with e-signatures “in seconds.” Essentials includes unlimited proposals, invoices and work orders, signable PDFs and contracts, and unlimited e-signatures. A mobile app is on every plan, and financing runs through GoodLeap on Essentials and Scale.
Pricing (vendor-published): Starter is $0 with 10 trial proposals and invoices and $19 measurement reports. Essentials is $209 per month billed annually ($249 monthly) and Scale is $299 annually ($349 monthly). Reports cost $13 on paid plans, and card payments carry 2.8% plus 30 cents per transaction. Seat limits are inconsistent across the vendor’s own pages, with the pricing page saying unlimited users and the FAQ listing caps by plan, so confirm seats before you buy.
Commercial fit: we found no commercial roofing mention on the homepage, CRM page or products page, and Roofing Software Guide lists Roofr with the residential-native platforms. The measurement-plus-proposal loop is fast and polished; what is missing for commercial accounts is the account structure and service-agreement depth around it.
Ask in the demo: how many seats each plan includes, how commercial customers with several contacts are handled, what measurement reports cost for large flat roofs, and what happens after the customer signs.
Best for: Contractors who want measured, branded proposals quickly and a no-cost way to try the workflow.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A low-risk way to try measured proposals. For commercial accounts with multiple contacts and recurring work, you will likely outgrow it faster than a broader platform.
Jobber is a polished general home-service app with a roofing page that stresses quick proposals from templates that “showcase customer reviews.” Customers can “approve, pay a deposit, request a change, or provide a signature online,” and the mobile app gives field crews checklists and roof measurements. Core includes professional quotes with customizable templates and automated quote follow-ups. Higher plans add richer visuals and reviews on quotes and optional line items.
Pricing (vendor-published, billed annually): Core is $29 per month for one user, Connect $99, Grow $149 and Plus $399, with larger user counts costing more on each tier. Monthly billing runs $49, $139, $199 and $499. Extra users are $29 each per month, and add-ons such as the Marketing Suite ($99) and Receptionist ($29) are priced separately.
Commercial fit: the roofing page does not mention commercial work, B2B accounts or property managers. Jobber is a clean tool for a small crew that wants quotes, deposits and online approval at a low entry price, but proposals stay close to a customer-facing quote, and there is no roofing-specific takeoff or commercial account structure to lean on.
Ask in the demo: which tier unlocks optional line items and richer proposal visuals, how added users change your monthly bill, and how multi-property commercial customers are organized.
Best for: Small crews with light commercial repair work who want a simple, inexpensive quoting-and-approval app.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A dependable generalist for small repair crews. When proposals need scope sections, photos, documents and terms, a dedicated proposal workflow is a better fit.
PandaDoc is a document platform, not a field service system, and that is both its strength and its limit. It builds polished proposals and contracts, and on the Business plan adds a quote builder, pricing tables, a product catalog and payment collection with unlimited templates. E-signature is on every plan, with unlimited signatures from Starter up, and there is a mobile app for approving and signing on the go. Enterprise adds CPQ.
Pricing (vendor-published): Free is $0 with 5 documents per month and up to 5 templates. Starter is $19 per user per month billed annually ($35 monthly), and Business is $49 annually ($65 monthly), per the vendor’s help center and blog. Starter does not include quotes or pricing tables. Enterprise is custom. The pricing page toggle shows the same figures for monthly and annual views, so confirm the billing term at checkout. Add-ons and usage credits apply to some forms, bulk send and integrations.
Commercial fit: PandaDoc’s construction page names “international construction management firms, general contractors, and mid-sized home builders” and talks about proposals and contracts that “win more deals,” but it does not mention roofing or B2B service work. Scheduling, crews, job costing and the field workflow live outside PandaDoc, so it works best layered on top of a CRM you already own.
Ask in the demo: which plan includes the quote builder you need, how your CRM or accounting system connects, and whether usage credits or add-ons apply to the workflows you plan to use.
Best for: Roofing companies already running a CRM or QuickBooks that only need a stronger proposal and e-signature layer.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Useful as a bolt-on when your current system sends weak proposals. If you want proposals connected to jobs, invoices and measurement, an all-in-one is simpler.
The BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook also notes that low-slope roofs are the most common, as they are typical on commercial, industrial and apartment buildings. Residential work made up 58% of the U.S. market in 2025 according to Mordor Intelligence, which helps explain why so much roofing software was built for homeowners first. The same Occupational Outlook Handbook entry shows that roofing contractors employ 72% of all roofers while 20% are self-employed, which suggests that many buyers of this software are small owner-operated companies or mid-size contractors with a small office rather than enterprise IT departments.
Start with QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99/mo, or Beginner at $74.99/mo for two users and MapMeasure Pro. You get Options Estimates, e-signature and invoicing with deposits and Net terms, and Proposal+ at 100 IQ Credits per estimate. Roofr’s free Starter plan and Jobber Core at $29/mo billed annually are the cheaper alternatives to test against.
QuoteIQ Pro ($149.99/mo, 4 users) adds Job Costing, ClientHub, Client Portal and QuickBooks Online sync, which is where proposals start tying to margins. Elite ($299/mo, 10 users) removes the Proposal+ credit cost. JobNimbus Pro (up to 10 users) is the roofing-specific alternative to quote.
QuoteIQ Elite ($299/mo) or Max ($699/mo, 20 users, with extra seats at $25 each) keeps pricing predictable as you hire. Compare it against JobNimbus Premium (up to 19 users) and AccuLynx, both custom-priced, and ask each how they structure accounts with several properties.
JobNimbus and AccuLynx are built around residential retail and insurance workflows, with commercial as a growing side. QuoteIQ handles both in one account, and Options Estimates work for a homeowner’s shingle choices as well as a property manager’s repair-versus-coating decision.
ServiceTitan and BuildOps are built for office-supported operations with service agreements and approvals, and both are custom-priced with implementation. QuoteIQ Max is the transparent-price alternative if setup speed matters. Ask any vendor for roofing references, since BuildOps does not name roofing among its trades.
Buildertrend feeds takeoff quantities into estimates and proposals and carries them into budgets. Many contractors also pair a dedicated takeoff or estimating tool with a proposal platform, which is the specialist role Roofing Software Guide gives ProEst. QuoteIQ is faster for private repair, maintenance and re-cover work that does not need a plan-set takeoff.
PandaDoc adds a polished proposal and e-signature layer for $19 to $49 per user per month billed annually. The trade-off is another subscription and no connection to jobs, crews or job costing. If that gap keeps costing you time, moving proposals into your CRM, as QuoteIQ does, removes the double entry.
Built the candidate pool from commercial roofing roundups and vendor roofing pages. We started with tools named in commercial roofing software guides and the vendors’ own roofing and construction pages in October 2026, including Roofing Software Guide, then narrowed to proposal-capable platforms across roofing CRMs, field service software, construction management and document tools.
Verified pricing against each vendor’s own pages on October 5, 2026. Where a vendor publishes prices, we recorded plan names, billing terms and user limits. Where it does not, we marked the tool “Custom — contact sales” and did not repeat third-party figures that contradicted each other.
Scored proposal features against the vendor’s own descriptions. We looked for branded proposals, options, e-signature, deposits and payment terms, measurement or takeoff, templates and mobile access, using vendor pages and help articles rather than marketing summaries.
Weighed the commercial requirements. Using the needs listed by Roofing Software Guide, we asked how each tool handles multi-property accounts, service agreements, longer bid cycles and compliance documents, and how candidly the vendor describes its own residential or commercial focus.
Added operator perspective and customer reviews for QuoteIQ. Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, both Co-Founders of QuoteIQ, contributed the operator view on speed, scope and systems. QuoteIQ customer reviews from the App Store were pulled from our review database for the section below.
“Great tool for roofing contractors managing multiple jobs daily.”
“Organized leads, easy quoting, and tracking all in one clean platform; Couldn’t scale without it.”
“I can quickly create professional quotes and manage customers without headaches or lost information.”
These are verbatim five-star reviews from roofing contractors on the App Store. They are not specific to commercial work.

Read Mike’s insights →Justin co-founded QuoteIQ alongside Mike. He focuses on business systems, pricing discipline and the software decisions that let a contractor step back from the day-to-day.
Read Justin’s insights →QuoteIQ is the best proposal software for most commercial roofing contractors in 2026. It pairs branded Proposal+ documents, Good/Better/Best options, online signing, satellite measurement, deposits and Net 15 to Net 90 invoice terms in one platform from $29.99 a month. ServiceTitan suits large commercial service departments, and Buildertrend suits plan-driven, general-contractor-style bids.
Published prices run from free (Roofr Starter, PandaDoc Free) to $29.99-$699 a month for QuoteIQ, $59-$299 a month for Housecall Pro billed annually and $29-$399 a month for Jobber billed annually. ServiceTitan, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Buildertrend and BuildOps do not publish prices and require a sales call. We checked vendor pages on October 5, 2026.
Only in limited form. Roofr’s Starter plan is free and includes 10 trial proposals and invoices, and PandaDoc’s free plan allows 5 documents a month with up to 5 templates. Neither is built around commercial accounts. QuoteIQ has no permanent free plan, but every plan, starting at $29.99 a month, includes a 14-day free trial.
A commercial roofing proposal should state the scope by system component, materials and warranty, exclusions, schedule, safety provisions, insurance and license documents, payment terms and a signature block. Cite the guidance the work follows, since NRCA publishes technical guidance on roof system installation and design, and price fall protection plainly: OSHA says employers generally must provide it when workers face a fall of 6 feet or more.
QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99 a month covers one user with Options Estimates, e-signature and invoicing, and Proposal+ at 100 IQ Credits per estimate. Beginner ($74.99, 2 users) adds MapMeasure Pro for satellite measurement. Jobber Core ($29 a month billed annually) and Roofr’s free Starter plan are the budget alternatives.
QuoteIQ Pro ($149.99, 4 users) adds Job Costing, ClientHub, Client Portal and QuickBooks Online sync. Elite ($299, 10 users) includes Proposal+ at no credit cost, and Max ($699, 20 users) covers larger teams, with extra seats at $25 per person per month. JobNimbus Pro and Premium are a roofing-focused alternative at custom pricing.
ServiceTitan and BuildOps are the two platforms on this list built for large, office-supported commercial operations. Both use custom pricing and implementation, and BuildOps does not name roofing among its trades, so ask for roofing references. QuoteIQ Max ($699 a month, 20 users) is a published-price alternative for companies that want a faster setup.
Yes. QuoteIQ, Jobber, Roofr, JobNimbus, ServiceTitan and PandaDoc all list mobile apps, and Housecall Pro’s estimates can be signed from mobile. QuoteIQ holds a 4.7-star average across App Store and Google Play with 4,103 reviews. Roofr’s app is on every plan, and PandaDoc’s lets you approve and sign documents on the go.
Yes. Under the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001), a contract relating to interstate commerce may not be denied legal effect solely because an electronic signature or record was used in its formation. QuoteIQ includes e-signatures on every plan. This is general information, not legal advice, so confirm requirements for your state and contract type.
QuoteIQ (Options Estimates, on every plan), ServiceTitan, JobNimbus, Roofr and Housecall Pro all list Good/Better/Best style options. Jobber offers optional line items on higher plans. Options help a commercial buyer compare a repair, a coating and a recover system on one page.
QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro (Beginner and above) measures roof dimensions and pitch from satellite imagery and attaches screenshots to estimates. Roofr and AccuLynx order aerial measurement reports, JobNimbus can auto-fill EagleView measurements, and Jobber’s mobile app includes roof measurements. Treat satellite numbers as a scoping aid and verify complex low-slope roofs on site.
QuoteIQ supports deposit requirements on estimates, partial payments, and Net 15, Net 30, Net 60 and Net 90 terms on invoices. Jobber’s roofing page says customers can pay a deposit when they approve. Most other vendor pages we reviewed do not detail payment terms, so confirm deposit and terms handling in a demo.
Often yes, for plan-set takeoff on large bids. Roofing Software Guide names ProEst as a specialist estimating tool, and Buildertrend feeds takeoff quantities into estimates. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro handles satellite measurement for scoping, but plan-set takeoff is not in its published feature set, so many contractors pair a takeoff tool with a proposal platform.
Export your customers and open estimates from your current system as a CSV, import them into the new platform, run both for about a week, then cut over. QuoteIQ supports CSV customer imports. Build your proposal template and payment terms before the first live bid so your first proposals look right.
QuoteIQ is the most direct alternative, with published plans from $29.99 to $699 a month versus ServiceTitan’s quote-only, per-technician pricing. JobNimbus and Housecall Pro are other options with less complexity. You give up some of ServiceTitan’s depth for large dispatch operations, so match the tool to your size.
QuoteIQ is the best alternative for roofers who want published pricing and a proposal workflow that is not centered on residential insurance or retail sales. Roofr is a lighter, measurement-first option, and Housecall Pro suits repair-heavy work. Compare how each handles multi-property accounts and recurring maintenance before you switch.
Trusted by thousands of verified contractors · 4.7★ average rating · 4,103+ reviews on App Store + Google Play
For most commercial roofing contractors in 2026, QuoteIQ is the best proposal software to start with. Proposal+ puts your scope, photos, documents and reviews in a branded document, Options Estimates give a property manager a clear choice, e-signatures and deposits move the approval along, and invoices support the Net terms commercial clients expect. Plans run from $29.99 to $699 a month, with a 14-day free trial on every plan, and the operator perspective of Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers shows up in how quickly a proposal can go out.
The other nine each have a real lane. ServiceTitan and BuildOps are the picks for large, office-supported commercial operations, Buildertrend for plan-driven bids, JobNimbus and AccuLynx for roofers whose business is still mostly residential, Housecall Pro and Jobber for light repair work, Roofr for fast measured proposals and PandaDoc as a bolt-on signature layer. Prices change, so confirm each vendor’s current plan before you commit.
A simple way to decide is to run a two-week test with your own work. Take your last three commercial bids and rebuild them in each shortlisted tool, including the photos, exclusions and payment terms. Time how long each takes, open the proposal on a phone as your customer would, sign it, and send the invoice. The tool where that process feels natural, and where the output looks like a company a property manager would trust, is usually the right one regardless of what the feature list says.
Whichever you choose, the habit that wins commercial bids does not change: send a clear, specific proposal quickly, with scope, exclusions and terms spelled out. The right software makes that the default instead of an effort.
