Best apps for roofers in 2026

Roofing paperwork starts before anyone climbs a ladder. You need the squares, the pitch and the waste before you can price a tear-off, and on a storm-damage job you need it fast, before the next roofer knocks on the same door. After the measurement comes the proposal, often with a cheaper and a better shingle side by side, then a deposit for materials, then the final bill once the dumpster is gone.

No single app does every step best. Roofr and RoofSnap are built around the measurement, JobNimbus tracks a crew's whole sales pipeline, and Jobber, Joist and Workeey handle quotes, scheduling and invoices for any trade.

We read every company's own pricing page in November 2026. Workeey is ours, and where a roofing tool beats it we say so.

Roofr

Best fit: a roofing company that wants its measurement reports and its proposals in the same place.

Roofr combines roof measurement reports with a roofing CRM. The free Starter plan lets you order reports at $19 each, delivered within 24 hours, plus one job board, a calendar, material ordering through supplier integrations and ten trial proposals, invoices and work orders. Every plan includes unlimited users.

Measure+ lowers report prices and speeds up delivery and adds material calculations with a waste factor. Essentials is where Roofr becomes a full sales tool: unlimited proposals, invoices and work orders, card and bank payments, and contracts the homeowner completes as a PDF. Scale adds crew management, job costing and QuickBooks integration.

Pricing: Starter $0 a month; Measure+ from $109 a month; Essentials $249 a month, or $209 billed yearly; Scale $349 a month, or $299 billed yearly. Prices in US dollars.

Who should look elsewhere: a small repair outfit that would rarely use more than the ten free trial documents.

RoofSnap

Best fit: a roofer who wants to measure roofs and build estimates without paying for a full CRM.

RoofSnap does two kinds of measuring. You can order a report, with standard turnaround in hours and a rush option, or draw the roof yourself over aerial images using its draw-it-yourself tools. From the measurement it builds estimates and material orders with your own materials and prices, and it can lay out five estimates in a good, better and best format so a homeowner can choose a shingle line.

Subscribers get five HD roof images a month, lower report prices, the estimating and material ordering suite, and deposits and payments collected in the app. Homeowner financing through Acorn Finance can be offered in proposals.

Pricing: pay as you go from $13 per measurement report; the monthly subscription starts at $105 per user a month; the annual subscription starts at $52 per user a month for ten or more users, and $78 for two to four. The 7-day free trial includes every tool and needs no card. Apps on iPhone and Android.

Who should look elsewhere: a roofer who wants scheduling and job tracking alongside the estimate.

JobNimbus

Best fit: a roofing company with sales reps, a production manager and a pipeline to manage.

JobNimbus combines a CRM with project boards. Every package includes unlimited estimates, invoices, documents, reports, financing options, supplier integrations and JobNimbus Payments, and the mobile app is on every plan. JobNimbus lists its QuickBooks integration in every package too. Plans differ mainly by users, boards and automations: Essentials for up to three users, Pro up to ten, Premium up to nineteen, and Enterprise beyond that.

Pricing: not published; every plan says request pricing, and the FAQ explains that the quote depends on users and add-ons. Monthly or annual agreements; a 14-day free trial with no card.

Who should look elsewhere: anyone who wants to see a price before talking to sales.

Joist

Best fit: a small roofing contractor who mainly needs good-looking estimates and a clean way to handle extra work.

Joist turns an estimate into an invoice and adds work orders on Pro. On Elite you get change orders and your license and insurance printed on every document. Rotten decking found under the old shingles is the classic roofing change order, and having it on paper before you replace it avoids the argument at payment time.

Joist has no roof measurements, so you bring your own squares. Scheduling only arrives on its Run plan.

Pricing: Basics $10 a month with five documents a month, Pro $17 with unlimited documents, Elite $32, and Run $70 a month at an introductory price. No free plan any more; the 14-day trial needs no card.

Who should look elsewhere: a roofer who wants measurement and scheduling in the same app.

Jobber

Best fit: a roofing business doing a lot of repairs, inspections and gutter work as well as full replacements.

Jobber's Core plan includes online booking, scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments and a client hub. For the leak-call side of a roofing business, homeowners booking their own inspection slot saves a phone call each time. Automated reminders, quote follow-ups and QuickBooks Online sync are on Connect, from $99 a month billed annually.

There are no measurement reports, so replacements need a separate measuring tool.

Pricing: Core $29 a month billed annually, $39 with a one-year commitment or $49 with no commitment; extra users $29 a month. No free plan; a 14-day trial without a card.

Who should look elsewhere: a roofer who only does full replacements and wants measurement built in.

Workeey

Best fit: an owner-operator roofer who measures their own roofs and wants quoting, invoicing and scheduling without a monthly bill to start.

Workeey does not measure roofs. It handles the business around the roof on a free plan with no end date and no card: unlimited invoicing, 23 quick estimates a month, and 10 payment reminder texts a month that you switch on per invoice. Save your price per square for tear-off and install, and your flashing, drip edge and dumpster lines, once; each new estimate is built from them. It goes to the homeowner as a quote PDF from your phone, with a deposit percent printed on it if you want one, and when they tell you to go ahead, one tap turns it into the invoice.

Invoices are emailed with a pay link for card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or US bank transfer through your own Stripe account, with a small processing fee. Connect your bank and payments that match an invoice mark it paid. The schedule books time slots and puts a day of inspections into a sensible driving order, and an assistant takes typed or spoken requests. Google Calendar and QuickBooks sync come on Pro, with 30 texts a month; Premium has unlimited texts.

There are no measurement reports like Roofr's or RoofSnap's, no good, better and best proposal layout, no financing and no change orders. Deposits are not collected through Workeey, and the homeowner cannot accept the quote inside it; they tell you yes. Workeey is built for the phone: the Android app is on Google Play, it runs in any phone's browser, and a desktop version is coming soon.

Pricing: free; Pro $5 a month; Premium $19 a month.

Who should look elsewhere: a roofing company with sales reps and crews, or a roofer who quotes from measurement reports.

How to choose an app as a roofer

Start with how you get your measurements. If you climb and tape every roof yourself, a general job app is enough. If you quote from the ground or the truck, a measurement tool pays for itself in the time it saves, and then the question is whether you want proposals inside it too or in a separate app.

Price by the square, then check the result. How to price a job walks through labor, materials, overhead and profit, and the markup calculator shows what your markup on shingles and underlayment really earns. If you charge for inspections or leak calls, read about setting a service call fee.

Think about team size. A solo roofer pays for every seat nobody uses, while a company with sales reps and crews gets real value from a shared pipeline. Roofr includes unlimited users on every plan, while Jobber charges per extra user.

Finally, plan for the money. Roofing jobs are large, so ask how each app handles deposits for materials and whether the homeowner can pay by bank transfer. For other trades, see the best apps for tradespeople.
