Pricing checked October 5, 2026

FieldServiceScout (fieldservicescout.com) is an independent site that compares field-service software. We have no connection to any product or company called "FieldScout."
Two lanes
Roofing software splits into two kinds of product:
- Roofing CRMs (JobNimbus, AccuLynx) are built around the lead-to-production pipeline: boards, estimates and contracts, supplier ordering, supplements, production calendars. Neither publishes prices.
- Field-service apps (Jobber, Housecall Pro) are built around scheduling, quoting, invoicing and payments for repair and service work. Both publish prices.
The table below covers both lanes. Each row names the product whose published pricing or plan page fits that situation.
- Insurance and replacement work that needs supplement and mortgage-check tracking: AccuLynx (quote-only). Elite lists supplement tracking, mortgage check tracking, permits and a production calendar.
- Roofing CRM for a team of up to 3: JobNimbus (quote-only). Essentials covers up to 3 users, with a 14-day free trial.
- Roofing CRM across 2–5 locations: JobNimbus (quote-only). Pro supports up to 2 locations, and Premium up to 5.
- Roof repair and service at a published price: Jobber. Core is $29/mo billed annually for one user, and Connect is $149/mo for 5 users.
- Repair work where you want job costing at a low published price: Housecall Pro. Job costing is on Basic ($59) and Essentials ($149 for 5 users).
- Crew size swings with the season: Jobber. It publishes $29/mo per added user. JobNimbus moves you up a tier when you pass its user cap.
- Ease of use, field app, support: No pick. Usability: not yet tested.

User-cap tier matrix: what happens as your crew grows
From the vendors' pricing pages on October 5, 2026. Jobber prices are for Connect, billed annually, and show both the selector tier and the cheaper add-on path where the plan cards' $29/user note applies. Housecall Pro prices are billed annually. JobNimbus and AccuLynx don't publish prices.
| Users | JobNimbus tier (cap) | Jobber Connect | Housecall Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Essentials (up to 3) | $149 (5-user tier) | Essentials $149 (5 users) |
| 4 | Pro (up to 10): tier change | $149 (5-user tier) | Essentials $149 |
| 6 | Pro | $229 (10-user tier), or $178 with 5-user tier + 1 × $29 | MAX $299 (Essentials extra-user price not published) |
| 9 | Pro | $229 (10-user tier) | MAX + 1 user: $334 |
| 11 | Premium (up to 19): tier change | $299 (15-user tier), or $258 with 10-user tier + 1 × $29 | MAX + 3: $404 |
| 16 | Premium | Contact sales (16+) | MAX + 8: $579 |
| 20 | Enterprise (20+): tier change | Contact sales | MAX + 12: $719 |
AccuLynx doesn't publish how it counts users. Its plan-options page says it provides "a custom price quote".
What the matrix shows:
- JobNimbus has hard tier caps. Its FAQ says you can add users only up to your plan's limit, and past that you upgrade. The tier changes come at the 4th, 11th and 20th user.
- Jobber has brackets plus a published $29 add-on. Past a bracket line, one or two added users cost less than the next tier.
- Housecall Pro has a published per-user price only on MAX ($35). A 6-person crew either jumps to MAX or asks sales about an extra Essentials user.

Our analysis
- Pick the lane first. For insurance and replacement work, AccuLynx's Elite and JobNimbus's tiers list the roofing-specific pipeline features. For repairs, gutters and service calls, Jobber and Housecall Pro publish prices and list scheduling, quoting and payments.
- Both roofing CRMs are quote-only. Ask how users are counted (AccuLynx doesn't say), what it costs to cross the next user cap (JobNimbus), and the price of the texting add-on (both list texting as an add-on or bundle).
