Where IRONGRID pulls ahead
The specific reasons contractors choose IRONGRID over JobNimbus.
Unlimited team members, no per-seat fees
JobNimbus charges per user, so your software cost grows every time you add a technician, admin, or project manager. IRONGRID includes unlimited team members on every plan.
Custom Calculations for precise billing
IRONGRID's Custom Calculations let you define exactly how labor rates, material markup, and other cost formulas work for your business. JobNimbus has no equivalent billing formula engine.
Guest and subcontractor portal access
IRONGRID lets you invite subcontractors to view only the work orders assigned to them, with no access to the rest of your account. JobNimbus has no subcontractor portal.
Built for all trades, not just roofing
JobNimbus is built around the roofing and insurance restoration workflow. If your business spans multiple trades, or if roofing-specific CRM features are not core to how you operate, IRONGRID's more flexible work order pipeline is a cleaner fit.
