Curbsight vs JobNimbus
JobNimbus is a great CRM for the jobs you already have. Curbsight scores every property in your territory before you knock — and when the lead becomes a job, the pipeline, self-drafting estimates, photo documentation, and homeowner job tracker are already there.
JobNimbus is widely used in roofing because it does CRM and project management well — pipelines, customer records, photo management, estimates. What it doesn't do is find the leads. Curbsight is both: a scored-lead engine on the front end — every property in your territory on a map, scored 0-100 from county records, NOAA storm data, and radar hail swaths — and a full contractor CRM on the back end: an editable pipeline, estimates that draft themselves from real roof measurements, photo documentation that auto-files to the property, and a job tracker your homeowner can watch. If you're paying for JobNimbus AND a separate lead source, Curbsight is one tool that replaces both.
Feature comparison

| Property intel on jobs | Born-in — every job carries score, roof age, hail history, street view | Manual entry |

| Insurance workflow | Supplement builder built in; Xactimate integration not yet | EagleView, Hover, Xactimate integrations |

What JobNimbus does well
JobNimbus is a category leader in roofing CRM for good reasons. Their pipeline customization is best-in-class, their photo management for damage documentation is mature, and their integrations with EagleView, Xactimate, and other roofing-specific tools are well-built. If your bottleneck is managing 50+ active jobs at once with deep insurance-ecosystem integrations, JobNimbus is a serious tool.
Where JobNimbus stops
JobNimbus is CRM-shaped. It manages relationships and jobs you already have. It doesn't help you discover new ones — that piece of the funnel is left to you. Most JobNimbus customers are paying separately for a lead source: shared marketplace leads (per-lead pricing, competitive bidding), a door-knocking app, or in-house cold-calling lists. Those costs add up fast, and the lead data never really connects to the CRM — a new job starts as an empty record someone types into.
Why Curbsight is different
Curbsight does both halves of the funnel, and the halves share one nervous system. The front half is the scored map: every residential property in your territory ranked 0-100 using county records, NOAA storm data, radar hail swaths, and roof intelligence. The back half is a contractor CRM where jobs are born enriched, not built by hand — when a knock becomes a deal, the job file already carries everything Curbsight knew at the door.
- Jobs are born, not built: score, roof age, hail history, owner, imagery, and claim window arrive with the job — no data entry
- Estimates draft themselves: real roof square footage measured automatically from aerial data, no site visit and no per-report measurement fee
- Photo documentation built in: the camera GPS-files every shot to the right property, with tagging, video, and AI-generated reports
- The homeowner watches progress on a no-login job tracker page — fewer 'any update?' calls
- An insurance supplement builder for claim work, in the same app as the job
- You're paying for both a CRM AND a lead source separately
- Your motion is hail/storm-driven and you want the lead intelligence + the job tracking in one place
- You want estimates and photo documentation without extra per-report or per-seat tools
- You want flat pricing with seats included instead of per-user billing
- Your operation runs heavy on EagleView / Xactimate / supplier integrations and those are hard requirements today
- You already have a strong lead pipeline and only want a mature standalone CRM
Pricing
JobNimbus pricing is per-user per-month, plus add-ons for advanced features and integrations. A 3-user roofing company on the standard plan typically runs $300-600/mo just for the CRM, then layers on measurement reports ($50-500 each) and a lead service. Curbsight Pro is $1,500/mo flat with 10 seats and 20 territories: the scored-lead map, the CRM with self-drafting estimates and photo documentation, skip-traced phone numbers, and the full team layer — one bill, no per-seat math, no per-report fees.
