JobNimbus is a solid product, but their per-user pricing adds up fast and the feature mix is heavier on roofing than on the rest of construction. Here's an honest, side-by-side comparison so you can decide which one fits.

Three concrete wins, not vague marketing. Look at your own crew before deciding.
JobNimbus charges $25–35 per user. A 5-person crew runs you $125–175/month. Workhand's Pro plan is $35 flat for up to 5 users — more than 70% cheaper at the same crew size.
Send estimates and invoices in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Your customer's language, your operator's language, separately. JobNimbus is English-only.
When a job completes, Workhand auto-emails the customer asking for a review. 4-and-5-star raters get nudged to also leave a Google review. Your reputation flywheel runs without you chasing.
Apples-to-apples for a 5-person crew with QuickBooks sync needed.
Workhand pricing locked for the first year — early supporters keep their rate forever.
Truly free, no credit card. The Free plan covers one active job and one user — enough to actually run a real job from start to finish so you know what you're buying before you upgrade.
Email hello@workhand.app. We don't list a Business tier publicly yet, but we'll set up custom pricing — typically $179–249/month for crews up to 50.
Yes. You can export customers, jobs, and estimates from JobNimbus as CSV and import them into Workhand. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans — email us to set it up.
Yes, but with a caveat. We don't have roofing-specific integrations like EagleView, HoverPort, or insurance scope sheet automation. If you live in those workflows, JobNimbus is more specialized. For everyone else (pools, GCs, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, HVAC), Workhand is more general-purpose.
Email support on all plans, replies within one business day. Team plan gets priority queue (typically same-day). Founder-supported, no offshore call center — you'll talk to someone who built the product.
14-day free trial on Pro and Team. No credit card needed for the Free plan.
