# CurbSight vs JobNimbus

JobNimbus is a popular CRM and project management platform for roofing, exterior, and home services contractors. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — and includes a built-in PM module that handles the core lifecycle most contractors actually use.

Here is the honest comparison.

## What Each Tool Is Built For

**JobNimbus:** A roofing and exterior CRM with strong workflow automation, customer communication tools, and integrations with EagleView, CompanyCam, QuickBooks, and email. Built to be the single system of record for jobs already in your pipeline.

**CurbSight:** A property intelligence platform for the front of the funnel — finding scored, owned leads from public records and federal storm data — with project management built in to handle leads from prospect to invoice.

The two solve different problems and overlap on the PM layer.

## Lead Generation

| Capability | JobNimbus | CurbSight |
|---|---|---|
| Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score per property |
| NOAA hail and storm data | None | Yes, per property |
| Public records integration | None | County GIS APIs |
| Owner names | Imported manually or from leads | Yes, from county parcels |
| Satellite imagery on every lead | Add-on integrations | Yes, included |
| Door-knock territory builder | None | Yes, by zip code |

JobNimbus assumes your leads come from somewhere else — paid lead vendors, referrals, marketing. CurbSight produces them from public data.

## Project Management

| Capability | JobNimbus | CurbSight |
|---|---|---|
| Kanban board | Yes (strong) | Yes (configurable) |
| Workflow automation | Yes (strong) | Basic |
| Email and SMS comms | Yes | Roadmap |
| Estimates and invoices | Yes | Yes (basic) |
| QuickBooks integration | Yes | API access on Enterprise |
| Photo uploads | Yes | Yes |
| Crew scheduling | Yes | Yes |
| Customer portal | Yes | No |

JobNimbus is more mature on workflow automation and customer comms. CurbSight covers the standard PM workflow most exterior contractors actually use day-to-day.

## When JobNimbus Is the Right Choice

- You have mature workflow automation needs (multi-step approval flows, automated email sequences, complex stage gating).
- You need direct EagleView and CompanyCam integrations.
- You have heavy QuickBooks integration requirements.
- You already have a steady lead flow and don't need lead generation.

## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice

- You are a roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, or exterior contractor.
- Your biggest constraint is finding leads, not managing existing jobs.
- You want federal storm data and public records driving your prospecting.
- You want one tool for both lead-gen and core PM, instead of stacking JobNimbus + HomeAdvisor + Sales Rabbit.

## When You'd Run Both

Some larger CurbSight customers use JobNimbus for advanced workflow automation and customer communications while using CurbSight for lead generation and scoring. CurbSight Enterprise includes API access so leads sourced in CurbSight can sync into JobNimbus as they convert.

This pattern is common at the 75+ job/month scale.

## The Cost Comparison

A typical 5-user roofing contractor stack:
- JobNimbus (5 users): $250–$500/month
- HomeAdvisor / Angi spend: $1,000–$5,000/month
- Sales Rabbit or canvassing tool: $200–$400/month
- **Total: ~$1,450–$5,900/month**

Same contractor on CurbSight Pro:
- CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (scored leads, map, routes, PM)
- **Total: $1,500/month**

For most contractors, CurbSight Pro replaces the lead-gen and canvassing spend entirely. JobNimbus stays only if its specific workflow features are load-bearing for your operation.

## The Storm Season Advantage

JobNimbus has no NOAA integration. After a major hail event, JobNimbus tells you nothing about which properties were under the storm. CurbSight re-scores every property in the affected radius within hours of the NOAA event publishing — so your team is on the right blocks while out-of-state storm chasers are still loading their trucks.
