What a roofing company needs, and where it sits in Jobber

Storm season is when the phone rings most and nobody on the roof can pick up. Calls go to voicemail while you are on a roof: that is the problem software has to fix. Jobber lists roofing among its industries; here is where each thing roofers rely on sits in its plans.

From Jobber pricing, checked October 8, 2026. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Prices are per month in US dollars and change often, so check the page before you buy.

The Jobber plan a 1 to 3 person roofing company ends up on

For roofers, the list that decides the plan is options on one estimate, automatic estimate follow-ups and measuring from above. On Jobber that lands on Grow because options on one estimate first appears there: $199 a month for one person and $257 for three, on monthly billing. Add $29 a month for calls answered by AI if you want that too. Each person past the team size you pick is $29 a month.

Measuring from above is not on any Jobber plan card. Ask Jobber how roofers handle it today.

Where Jobber is a good fit for roofers

  • Its mobile app works in Spanish for team members, and it has a 14 day free trial on Grow with no credit card.

Where Koira does it differently for roofers

Measuring from above. On Jobber: not on its plan table. On Office, the free plan, Koira measures the roof from above for a first number priced from your list. You confirm on the roof before the final bid.

Customer financing. On Jobber: not on its plan table. The pay page offers Affirm or Klarna. The homeowner applies on their own phone and you never run credit.

Deposits at signing. On Jobber: not on its plan table. Your deposit rule is added to every estimate and paid at signing.

What Koira does not doKoira does not do payroll, inventory or a dispatch board for a call center.

Worked example: a 1,700 sq ft house with a 6/12 roof
