You've sat through four demos, and all four sales reps told you their tool is the best CRM for roofers on the market. The pricing pages are either vague or hidden behind a "request a quote" form, and every review site seems to rank whichever vendor sponsors it. Picking the wrong one is expensive, too, since migrating your leads, jobs, and history to a different customer relationship management (CRM) system a year in costs far more than getting the choice right the first time.
This guide compares HubSpot, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, and ServiceTitan on what they actually do, what they cost where that's public, and which roofing companies each one genuinely fits, based on their own official pricing and feature pages rather than a vendor's pitch.

What Should You Look for in a Roofing CRM?
Look for a CRM that matches your team size, the level of roofing-specific functionality you need, and how you'd rather pay, before you compare specific products. A two-person sales team needs something simple to adopt, while a company running multiple crews needs role-based permissions and job-cost tracking that a smaller tool won't have. The Complete Guide to Roofing Sales covers the sales process itself, which matters here too: a CRM enforces a process; it doesn't create one. So know how you want leads qualified and followed up on before you shop for the tool that will track it.
Also, decide how much pricing transparency matters to you. Some of the tools below publish a starting price outright, while others keep every number behind a demo, which itself says something about how the sales process will go.
A CRM is also only as useful as what's feeding it. Roofing Marketing covers the channels that keep leads coming in for it to track in the first place.
Is HubSpot a Good CRM for Roofing Companies?
HubSpot works well for roofing companies that want strong marketing and reporting tools, but it isn't built specifically for roofing operations out of the box. A free CRM tier is available for contacts and deal tracking, and the Starter plan is regularly priced at $20 per seat per month, though HubSpot frequently offers promotional discounts on that rate for new customers. It has no roofing-specific features like storm tracking or supplier ordering built in, so you'd be configuring a general-purpose tool to fit roofing rather than using one built for the trade.
Choose HubSpot if marketing alignment and reporting matter as much to you as sales tracking does, especially if you're already using HubSpot for email or website tools and want everything in one platform.
Is JobNimbus a Good CRM for Roofing Companies?
JobNimbus is a strong fit for growing roofing companies that want a mobile-first tool built around storm and insurance claim workflows. JobNimbus does not publish pricing; instead, it quotes based on user count and add-ons across four tiers (Essentials, Pro, Premium, Enterprise), with a 14-day free trial to test it first. Its mobile app and insurance workflow features are built specifically for how roofing crews and adjusters actually work in the field.
Choose JobNimbus if your business runs heavily on storm and insurance claims and you want a tool your crews will actually use from their phones, not just your office staff.
Is AccuLynx a Good CRM for Roofing Companies?
AccuLynx is built specifically for roofing companies that want deep estimating and supplier integration, and its new Essential plan makes it easier to test than before. The Essential plan is publicly priced at $250 per month, a recent change, as AccuLynx previously required a custom quote for everything; the Pro and Elite tiers still require a sales call. Its integrations with major supplier networks let you create material orders directly from an estimate and track delivery, which general-purpose CRMs don't offer.
Choose AccuLynx if you want the deepest roofing-specific feature set and are willing to pay a higher price than JobNimbus for that depth.
Is ServiceTitan a Good CRM for Roofing Companies?
ServiceTitan is well-suited to larger roofing operations that run multiple departments, locations, or trades, and it's overkill for a small single-trade shop. ServiceTitan does not publish pricing on its site; instead, it quotes per technician across three tiers (Starter, Essentials, and The Works). The company states it's trusted by more than 100,000 contractors across multiple trades, not just roofing. That multi-trade breadth is the point: it's built for a business that might run roofing alongside HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work under one operation.
Choose ServiceTitan if your roofing business is part of a larger multi-trade or multi-location operation, not if you're a standalone roofing company looking for your first real CRM.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roofing CRM typically cost?
Costs range from free (HubSpot's basic tier) to several hundred dollars a month once you add users and features, with AccuLynx's Essential plan at $250 a month as the clearest public entry point among roofing-specific tools. JobNimbus and ServiceTitan don't publish pricing, so budget time for a sales conversation before you can compare real pricing.
Can I switch CRMs later without losing my data?
Most CRMs let you export contacts, jobs, and history, but the accuracy of that export and the amount of manual cleanup it requires vary widely by platform, so switching later is possible but rarely painless. This is exactly why matching the tool to your actual needs now, rather than picking whichever is cheapest or fastest to set up, saves you a harder migration in a year or two.
Do I need a roofing-specific CRM, or will a general one work?
A general-purpose CRM like HubSpot can work fine if your team is small and you don't need built-in storm tracking or supplier ordering, but a roofing-specific tool like JobNimbus or AccuLynx saves real time once your volume grows. The tradeoff is roofing-specific depth versus the broader marketing and reporting flexibility a general CRM offers.
Does Rizen help set up any of these CRMs?
Yes, specifically for HubSpot: onboarding, migration, and pipeline setup are Rizen's core CRM implementation offering. For the roofing-specific platforms (JobNimbus, AccuLynx, ServiceTitan), Rizen connects them into your broader marketing rather than handling the CRM setup itself.
Ready to Set Up a CRM That Actually Connects to Your Marketing?
Picking the right CRM only solves half the problem, since a tool full of leads that never get followed up on or tracked back to a marketing channel is still just an expensive spreadsheet. Rizen builds HubSpot pipelines around your actual sales process, migrates your existing leads and job history over cleanly, and sets up the automated follow-up and lead-source tracking that make the CRM worth having in the first place.
