HomeMaxx Pro vs JobNimbus.
JobNimbus runs the job once you have the customer. HomeMaxx Pro runs the job too, and brings you the Homeowner first. Here is the whole table, row by row, and what each one costs a 5-person shop.
The score counts every row on the comparison table once: included is one point, partial is half. Value divides the score by what a 5-person shop pays a month on the plan that covers the most of the table.
Who JobNimbus is for.
JobNimbus is a CRM built around roofing and exterior contractors, with boards that follow a job from lead through insurance claim to production, document handling, and integrations with the measurement and estimating tools roofers use.
The boards fit the insurance-restoration workflow well, the integrations with aerial measurement and roofing suppliers are the ones roofers want, and the mobile app handles photos and documents on the roof.
What buyers watch for.
Texting is an add-on, pricing is quote-based and per user by role, dispatch and scheduling are lighter than the field service tools, and there is no lead generation, warranty or consumer brand behind it.
HomeMaxx Pro is priced per shop, not per technician, every plan includes texting from your own number and the customer portal, and the Homeowner requests outside a franchise territory are free. The rows below are where the two part ways.
