JobNimbus doesn’t publish pricing on its own website and stacks separate charges for the base CRM, texting, and per-user seats. QuoteIQ publishes every plan price up front, includes AI tools and measurement software in the base subscription, and serves 50+ home service trades instead of one.
TL;DR: JobNimbus is roofing-focused field service software that doesn’t publish pricing publicly and requires a sales call for a quote — third-party research puts a solo operator’s realistic cost in the hundreds per month once the base plan, a user seat, and its separate Engage texting add-on are combined. QuoteIQ publishes all five plan prices on its pricing page, starting at $29.99/mo for one user and topping out at $699/mo for unlimited users, with AI Autopilot, MapMeasure Pro, and a 14-day free trial included rather than sold separately. It also covers 50+ trades — from roofing to HVAC to lawn care — where JobNimbus is purpose-built almost exclusively for roofing and exterior contractors.
JobNimbus doesn’t publish pricing on its website. Based on third-party research, the true monthly cost stacks three separate charges — and the Growing plan’s automation and integration limits force upgrades quickly for active roofing businesses.
JobNimbus dollar figures above are third-party estimates (Projul, Toricent Labs, and other industry research), since JobNimbus does not publish a rate card on its own site. Confirm current numbers directly with JobNimbus before budgeting. See our exact QuoteIQ pricing.
Each card estimates the cost to match QuoteIQ’s included functionality using JobNimbus plus the required third-party tools it doesn’t include natively.
Third-party tool prices are illustrative industry averages, not verified live quotes. QuoteIQ figures reflect current published pricing on myquoteiq.com/pricing.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to that plan’s features. No per-user texting add-on, no separate measurement subscription.

The pattern is common in the category: PE-backed software vendors often acquire customers with competitive entry pricing, then introduce price increases and additional paywalled features after adoption. That’s not unique to JobNimbus — it’s worth factoring into any long-term software decision regardless of vendor.

JobNimbus has real strengths, particularly for roofing contractors managing insurance claims and material orders.

For the many other home service trades — HVAC, plumbing, lawn care, pest control, and more — QuoteIQ’s broader coverage is built specifically for you.
