Hello Renovate vs JobNimbus. One flat price. No per seat math.
JobNimbus started as a roofing and exteriors CRM and prices by seat plus role, with texting sold as a separate add on. Hello Renovate is a flat $29.99 per month, built specifically for renovation and remodeling shops rather than exterior trades.

Where Hello Renovate wins for renovation shops
Flat monthly price
Hello Renovate is $29.99 per month for the whole shop. JobNimbus starts around $225 to $550 per month for the base plan, then adds $20 to $75 per user per month on top depending on role. A 6 person crew can land well over $500 to $1,000 a month before texting add ons.
Milestone billing built for renovation, not roofing
JobNimbus is tuned for single visit exterior jobs: measure, quote, invoice once. Renovation projects run in stages, so Hello Renovate ships multi stage milestone invoicing (deposit, rough in, final) as a core feature, not a workaround.
Renovate AI room mockups
Show a client their kitchen or bathroom before you break ground. JobNimbus has no equivalent. It's a job tracking and estimating tool, not a design or visualization tool.
When JobNimbus is the better fit
If you run a roofing, siding, or exteriors company doing high volume, single visit jobs with heavy SMS follow up to insurance adjusters and homeowners, JobNimbus's texting and roofing specific workflows are purpose built for that. Hello Renovate is tuned for renovation and remodeling shops running multi stage projects, not single visit exterior trades.

FAQ
Questions contractors ask before switching
Is JobNimbus good for renovation contractors, or just roofing?
Compare each product against your project stages, estimate and invoice requirements, communication channels, and current quote. Hello Renovate focuses on renovation and remodeling work; JobNimbus may fit better if its roofing, exterior, or SMS workflows match your business.
Why doesn't JobNimbus publish its pricing?
JobNimbus's official pricing page (checked October 7, 2026) lists a Growing plan base fee of $225/mo and an Established plan at $550/mo, plus separate per-user fees ($20-$75/mo depending on role) and add-ons like texting -- there's no single all-in price to quote. Ask JobNimbus for a written quote based on your team size and compare it against Hello Renovate's flat, published $29.99/$59.99 plan prices.
Can I migrate my contacts and job history from JobNimbus?
Confirm JobNimbus's current export options and which fields and attachments are included. Hello Renovate does not provide a one-click JobNimbus migration; verify what can be imported and plan how to preserve project history.
Does Hello Renovate do SMS follow up like JobNimbus?
Not yet as a built in feature. That's JobNimbus's strongest area if high volume SMS to homeowners and adjusters is core to how you close jobs. Hello Renovate focuses on the estimate to invoice workflow for renovation shops instead.
What's included in the $29.99 per month plan?
Contractor CRM with estimates, invoices, milestone billing, contacts, pipeline stages, tasks, schedule, product catalog for estimates, and Renovate AI previews. Pro is $29.99 per month; Pro Plus is $59.99 per month. Hello Renovate works in a phone browser; native apps are not available yet.
