Jobber
Founded 2011 · Published pricing from $49/month (1 user) to $349/month for up to 30 users. Popular starting point for small crews.
Jobber works well for small home service businesses that need scheduling, invoicing, and basic CRM — lawn care, cleaning, HVAC, general contracting. It's a solid general-purpose tool. For roofing companies doing insurance work or storm restoration, it falls well short of what's needed.
Strengths
- Transparent, affordable published pricing
- Easy scheduling and dispatching for small crews
- Good customer communication tools (SMS, email)
- Clean mobile experience
- Wide trade support (roofing, landscaping, cleaning, etc.)
Weaknesses
- Not roofing-specific — no supplement tracking, satellite measurement, or canvassing
- No insurance restoration workflow
- No door-to-door canvassing maps or storm hail overlays
- No subcontractor commission tracking
- Limited estimating depth compared to roofing-specific tools
Ketterly
Flat-rate team pricing from $250/month
Ketterly is purpose-built for roofing companies. If you're doing any storm restoration, insurance claims, or managing sales reps and canvassing crews, Ketterly has the specialized tools Jobber simply doesn't offer.
Why teams switch
- Ketterly is built specifically for roofing — every feature maps to how roofers actually work
- Supplement tracking, storm hail maps, and satellite measurement are native in Ketterly, not available in Jobber
- Ketterly's flat-rate team pricing is competitive with Jobber at similar team sizes
- Ketterly tracks commissions and subcontractor payments natively

Common Questions: Ketterly vs Jobber
Is Jobber good for roofing companies?
Jobber is a solid general home service tool, but it lacks roofing-specific features. There is no insurance supplement tracking, no satellite measurement, no hail storm maps, and no door-to-door canvassing tools. Roofing companies that do any insurance restoration typically outgrow Jobber quickly.
How does Ketterly pricing compare to Jobber?
Jobber's published pricing starts at $49/month and goes up to $349/month for up to 30 users. Ketterly starts at $250/month for up to 3 users. For small teams Jobber is cheaper, but for 5-10 person teams with roofing-specific needs, Ketterly's depth makes it the better value.
Can I use Jobber for insurance roofing claims?
Jobber has no built-in tools for insurance claims, supplement tracking, or adjuster workflow management. For insurance restoration work, you'd need a roofing-specific platform like Ketterly or AccuLynx.
What's the best Jobber alternative for roofing?
For roofing companies, Ketterly is the best Jobber alternative — offering roofing-native features like satellite measurement, supplement tracking, canvassing maps, and commission management that Jobber doesn't have, at a flat-rate team price that's comparable for mid-size teams.
