JobNimbus vs Contractor Autopilot

JobNimbus is custom quote — no published pricing — and it is one piece of your business. Contractor Autopilot is $149–$499/mo flat for the whole company, unlimited users: one source of truth, 60+ features from the missed call to the paid invoice. No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.

What JobNimbus does well

Roofing-first pipeline, strong document handling for insurance claims, and good integrations with roofing measurement vendors.

Best for: Roofing and exterior companies running insurance work with a sales team.

Where it leaves you exposed

  • No public pricing — you talk to sales first.
  • Roofing-shaped. If you also do interior work or service calls, the workflow fights you.
  • The phone, the website and the Google profile are still someone else's product.

One app for the whole business — finally

A roofing CRM in the middle of a stack you assemble yourself.

1
source of truth, unlimited users

The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.

60+
features, five stages

Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.

0
integrations to build

No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.

The time it gives you back

One system for every trade you sell, so a gutter job and a repaint do not live in different software.

What it really costs to run JobNimbus

Until now, nobody ran a contracting business on one app. Here is the rest of the bill you are still paying.

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people

Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.

10 people$2,000/mo$850/mo$2,850/mo$499/mo

At five people that is $1,850 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.

Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.

JobNimbus does not publish pricing, so their column uses the rates customers report — ask them for a written quote and hold it against this. "What it doesn't include" is the same basket every time: answering service ~$300, website and hosting ~$150, reviews and social ~$100, local SEO help ~$300. Our column is Autopilot Pro at $499/mo — everything, unlimited users. Starter is $149 and Autopilot is $399.

The honest verdict

JobNimbus is a good roofing CRM. It is not a business system, and it will not answer the phone or get you found.
