Best Proposal Software for Roofing Contractors (2026)
I've sent thousands of roofing estimates between my own crews and the contractors I talk to through QuoteIQ, and the software behind the proposal matters almost as much as the number on it. QuoteIQ is what I'd put a roofing business on in 2026 — it builds a branded proposal from a satellite roof measurement in under a minute, no per-user fee. Here's the full list, and where each one fits.
TL;DR
QuoteIQ — $29.99/mo, no per-user fees. Roof measurement feeds straight into a branded proposal.
Roofr — $0–$349/mo. Roofing-specific tools, but the useful tiers get pricey.
AccuLynx — custom quote only. Built for storm-restoration insurance claims.
JobNimbus — custom quote only. Flexible multi-trade CRM, no public pricing.
RoofLink — ~$120/user/mo (reported). Sales-rep focused; per-user cost adds up fast.
Jobber — $49–$499/mo. Broad field-service tool, proposals are a secondary feature.
Housecall Pro — $79–$329/mo. Similar to Jobber — scheduling-first, not roofing-specific.
Leap — $79–$750+/mo. Built for retail/insurance sales teams running in-home presentations.
Builder Prime — $300/mo + per-seat fees. Usage-based pricing that scales oddly for small crews.
How I Picked These
I weighted this the way I'd buy software for my own crew: real cost at an actual headcount, whether a proposal can go out from a phone on the roof, and whether roofing-specific tools — measurement, pitch, claim documents — are built in or bolted on. Pricing was pulled from each vendor's own published pricing page, checked October 2026; where a vendor doesn't publish pricing (AccuLynx, JobNimbus), I've said so rather than guessing. This is for working roofing contractors sending proposals regularly — not enterprise storm-chasing operations with a dedicated ops team, where the AccuLynx or Leap SalesPro math looks different.

1. QuoteIQ — Best Overall for Roofing Proposals
What it is
QuoteIQ is the CRM and quoting platform I co-founded after running my own exterior service business on tools that weren't built for a contractor holding a phone on a job site. MapMeasure Pro measures roof dimensions and pitch from satellite imagery — including automatic roof-segment detection via Google's Solar API — feeding straight into an estimate.
Pricing
Essentials starts at $29.99/month with a 14-day trial. A full branded proposal costs 100 IQ Credits per estimate on Essentials, Beginner, and Pro — included free on Elite ($299/mo) and Max ($699/mo), and free during the trial on every plan. No per-user fee. Full breakdown on the QuoteIQ pricing page.
Where it fits
A crew that wants to measure a roof, quote it, and send a full branded proposal — company story, photo gallery, reviews — without leaving the truck. Scales from one owner-operator to 10–15 people.
Tradeoffs
Proposal sends cost credits below Elite, so a high-volume shop on a lower tier should run the math. It's newer and broader than roofing-only tools like AccuLynx — deep insurance-claim workflows aren't the focus.
"Easy, fast, and boosts my business productivity!" — Scarlet_Edwardoo (App Store review)
2. Roofr — Best for Roofing-Specific Proposal Tools
What it is
Roofr is built for roofing contractors, with aerial measurement, an instant online estimator, and proposal templates aimed at residential roofing sales. See how it stacks up against a broader platform in our QuoteIQ vs. Jobber comparison.
Pricing
Roofr's pricing page lists a free Starter tier, Measure+ at $109/month, Essentials at $249/month, and Scale at $349/month, billed monthly. Add-ons like the Instant Estimator ($149/mo) stack on top.
Where it fits
A roofing-only shop wanting the deepest roofing-specific tooling. The free Starter tier is a real way to try the workflow first.
Tradeoffs
The useful tiers get expensive once you add estimator or site add-ons, and Roofr won't flex if you add a second trade.
3. AccuLynx — Best for Storm Restoration Crews
What it is
AccuLynx is one of the longest-standing names in roofing software, built around the insurance-claim and storm-restoration workflow larger operations run on.
Pricing
AccuLynx doesn't publish standard pricing on its pricing page or plan options page — both route to a custom quote across its Pro and Elite plans. I won't guess a number; contact their sales team for current figures.
Where it fits
Real insurance-restoration volume, where claim documentation and adjuster workflows matter more than low entry pricing.
Tradeoffs
No published pricing makes it hard to comparison-shop, and by most accounts AccuLynx is priced for larger operations, not a two- or three-person crew.
4. JobNimbus — Best for Multi-Trade Flexibility
What it is
JobNimbus is a CRM and project-management platform used across roofing and other trades, with proposal tools alongside job tracking. Full details in our JobNimbus vs. QuoteIQ comparison.
Pricing
JobNimbus also withholds pricing — its pricing page says rates depend on team size and needs across Essentials, Pro, Premium, and Enterprise tiers, and directs you to request a quote or start a trial.
Where it fits
A contractor doing roofing alongside other exterior trades who wants one CRM that isn't roofing-exclusive.
Tradeoffs
Same issue as AccuLynx — no public number until you're in a sales conversation.
5. RoofLink — Best for Sales-Rep-Driven Teams
What it is
RoofLink is a roofing-specific CRM built around the door-knocking, sales-rep model common in retail and storm-restoration roofing.
Pricing
RoofLink's own pricing page didn't load for me to verify directly, but third-party directories Capterra and GetApp both consistently report a starting price of $120 per user, per month.
Where it fits
A company running a sales-rep structure where RoofLink's lead-tracking and rep-commission tools are the draw.
Tradeoffs
At a reported $120 per user per month, five reps alone would run roughly $600/month before anything else — model that per-user math before committing.
6. Jobber — Best for General Field-Service Needs
What it is
Jobber is a broad field-service platform used across dozens of trades; roofing-specific proposal depth isn't the focus.
Pricing
Jobber's pricing page lists Core at $49/month, Connect at $139, Grow at $199, and Plus at $499 for one user, plus $29/month per additional user.
Where it fits
Solid general scheduling and invoicing, with proposals as one feature among many.
Tradeoffs
Per-user fees add up fast, and nothing in Jobber is roofing-specific — no roof measurement, no claim tooling.
"QuoteIQ's integrated invoicing and scheduling tools ensure seamless project management for roofing professionals." — StefanieWhalend (App Store review)
7. Housecall Pro — Best for Simple Scheduling-First Shops
What it is
Housecall Pro is another broad home-service platform known for scheduling, dispatch, and online booking, with quoting layered on top.
Pricing
Its pricing page lists Basic at $79/month, Essentials at $189, and Max at $329 on standard monthly billing.
Where it fits
Shops where scheduling and dispatch across trades matters more than roofing-specific proposals.
Tradeoffs
No roof-specific measurement — you're buying general field-service software, not a roofing tool.
8. Leap — Best for Retail and Insurance Sales Teams
What it is
Leap is built for the in-home sales process common in retail roofing and insurance-restoration work, with a financing and sales-presentation focus.
Pricing
Leap's pricing page lists CRM Essential at $79/month for one user, CRM Team from $298, and SalesPro Premium from $750/month for six users, under one-year contracts.
Where it fits
A dedicated outside sales team running structured in-home presentations, where SalesPro justifies the price.
Tradeoffs
High entry pricing and a one-year contract — not the fit for a small crew just improving proposals.
What Operators Say
"QuoteIQ's CRM keeps all leads, quotes, and invoices in one place." — Mirta_Stephanies (App Store review)
Builder Prime, the ninth option above, uses a usage-based model — $300/month platform fee plus $60/user/month for office staff and $10/user/month for field techs — that scales awkwardly for a small crew next to QuoteIQ's flat pricing. More on that per-seat structure on Builder Prime's own site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best proposal software for roofing contractors in 2026?
QuoteIQ is my pick for most roofing contractors — it pairs satellite roof measurement with a branded proposal builder at a flat $29.99/month, no per-user fee. Roofing-only tools like Roofr and AccuLynx go deeper on aerial reports or insurance claims, but QuoteIQ covers the proposal-to-close workflow most crews need. See the JobNimbus vs. QuoteIQ comparison for a direct roofing-only matchup.
How much does roofing proposal software cost?
QuoteIQ starts at $29.99/month, no per-user fee. Roofr runs free to $349/month. Jobber and Housecall Pro run $49–$499 and $79–$329/month, both with per-user add-ons. RoofLink reportedly runs around $120 per user per month. AccuLynx and JobNimbus don't publish pricing at all — you'll need to talk to sales.
Do roofing proposal tools include roof measurement?
Some do. QuoteIQ's MapMeasure Pro measures roof dimensions and pitch from satellite imagery, including automatic roof-segment detection via Google's Solar API, feeding straight into an estimate. Roofr and AccuLynx offer aerial measurement too, usually on higher tiers. General platforms like Jobber and Housecall Pro don't include roof measurement at all.
What's the difference between an estimate and a proposal in roofing software?
An estimate is a line-item price breakdown. A proposal adds a branded presentation layer — company story, photo galleries, reviews, supporting documents — meant to build trust and close the deal. In QuoteIQ, any estimate can go out as a full branded proposal instead of a bare price sheet.
Is there software built specifically for roofing insurance claims?
AccuLynx is the name most associated with insurance-restoration and storm-claim workflows, built around adjuster documentation. JobNimbus and Leap's SalesPro tier have claim-adjacent tooling too. General CRMs like QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro handle estimates and proposals well but aren't built around the adjuster process specifically.
Can I send a roofing proposal from my phone on the job site?
Yes, on most platforms here, including QuoteIQ, Roofr, Jobber, and Housecall Pro — all have mobile apps for sending proposals from a job site. QuoteIQ's app measures a roof with MapMeasure Pro and sends a branded proposal without a trip back to the office, which matters when you're quoting several roofs a day.
How many roofing companies are there in the U.S., and why does proposal software matter at that scale?
There were 96,474 roofing contractor businesses in the U.S. as of 2023, per IBISWorld data — a crowded market where a fast, professional proposal can decide a bid. The U.S. roofing contractors market is valued at $100.5 billion in 2026, with roughly 166,900 roofers employed nationally as of 2025.
Do I need a credit card to start a QuoteIQ trial?
A credit or debit card is required to start. The 14-day trial applies across every plan, including Essentials and Max, and you can cancel before it ends if it's not a fit.
Bottom Line
If you're a roofing contractor who wants proposals that look professional and go out fast from the roof or the truck, QuoteIQ is where I'd start — $29.99/month, no per-user fee, roof measurement built in. If you're running serious insurance-claim or storm-restoration volume, AccuLynx or JobNimbus deserve a look despite the lack of public pricing. If your crew runs on door-to-door sales reps, RoofLink or Leap's sales tools might justify the higher per-seat cost. Grab a demo and see what fits how you actually quote roofs.
