Ask a roofer what their software costs and you get a straight answer. Ask a roofing software company and you often get a form.
That is the first thing worth knowing about this market: of the five platforms roofers shortlist most often, three will not publish a price at all. You have to book a call to find out whether you can afford it.
Here is what the numbers actually look like in 2026, what the sticker price leaves out, and how to work out your real annual cost before you sign anything.
Who publishes a price and who does not
Roofr publishes. Their plans run from a free Starter tier up through roughly $109 to $349 a month, on the page, no call required. Credit where it is due — most of this industry will not do that.
Jobber publishes. Monthly and prepaid-annual rates are both listed, along with a discounted first three months on a one-year commitment.
AccuLynx does not. Their pricing page carries "Get Pricing" and "Talk to Sales" and asks for your details.
ServiceTitan does not. Three tiers — Starter, Essentials and The Works — each with a "Request Pricing" button. They do state that pricing is per technician, which tells you something important on its own.
JobNimbus does not. Four tiers listed, all asking you to request pricing.
You will find third-party blogs quoting figures for the three that stay quiet. Treat those carefully. They are not the vendor's numbers, they go stale, and a number nobody will stand behind is not a price.
The sticker price is not the price
Monthly fee is the number everyone compares. It is rarely the number you pay.
Per-report fees. Aerial measurement reports are the classic one. On Roofr, reports are charged per report on every tier, including the paid ones — roughly $19 on Starter and less as you move up. Twenty roofs a month at report prices is a second subscription hiding inside the first.
Per-seat pricing. ServiceTitan prices per technician. That model is built for a company adding trucks, and it means the cost of growing is baked into the software. Put three more people on and your bill moves whether or not you sold any more roofs.
Add-ons for the obvious things. A website on your own domain is a $99/month add-on with Roofr Sites. An instant estimator for your site is another $125/month. Neither is exotic — both are things a roofing company assumes it needs.
Features gated to the top tier. Job costing and profit margins are the ones to watch. On several platforms, the reporting that tells you whether you made money on a roof sits on the most expensive plan. You can be paying for roofing software for two years and still not know your margin.
How to work out your real number
Before you compare anything, write down four figures for a normal month:
- The monthly fee, at the tier that actually includes what you need — not the headline tier.
- Reports. How many roofs do you quote a month? Multiply by the per-report price. If you already pay a measurement provider, or you hand-measure, note that this line could be zero with the right tool.
- Seats. How many people need logins today, and how many next summer?
- Add-ons. Website. Estimator. Payments. Anything you would have to buy separately.
Add those up and multiply by twelve. That is your real annual cost, and it is frequently double the number on the pricing page.
Then ask the question that actually matters: which of those lines grows when my business grows? A flat fee does not. Per-seat and per-report both do — you pay more for the privilege of being busier.
What we charge, and what is in it
RidgeSync is $149 a month, or $1,490 a year. That is on our pricing page, and it is the whole number.
Included, with no separate line item: the CRM, the AI assistant, unlimited users, job costing and margins on every plan, and a branded website on your own domain. Measurement reports cost nothing because you bring your own — any report, a hand measurement, or a photo the AI reads.
Being equally straight about what is not included: we do not take card or ACH payments inside the tool, you record payments taken elsewhere. There is no live QuickBooks sync — you get a categorised year-end CSV. And we have not built an instant estimator for your website. If any of those three is the thing you need most, one of the others is a better buy, and our comparison pages say so on the page.
The questions to ask on the demo call
If you are talking to a vendor who does not publish pricing, these get you to the truth fastest:
- What does this cost at the tier that includes job costing?
- Is that per user? What happens when I add two people?
- What do measurement reports cost, per report, on that tier?
- Is a website included, or is it an add-on? How much?
- What is the contract term, and what happens to my data if I leave?
That last one matters more than people expect. Your price book, your customer list and your job history are yours. Ask how you get them out before you put them in.
The short version
Compare annual totals, not monthly headlines. Count reports and seats, because those are the lines that punish you for growing. And treat "request pricing" as information in itself — a company confident in its price puts it on the page.
