Jobber for roofing contractors: a calendar with seats, or a board without them.
Jobber is a good calendar with a published price and a seat for every extra person. For roofing contractors, Thorbis is a dispatch board rather than a calendar, one posted price for the company, and a crew that is never a seat count.

The work
The days roofing contractors run, on either system.
01
Storm response
Leads from every channel, triaged by urgency and address, with inspections assigned by neighborhood instead of by whoever answered the phone.
02
The claim file
Photos, measurements, estimates, supplements, and approvals versioned on the job, not lost across three inboxes.
03
Production
Crews, materials, and permits scheduled together. Retail jobs skip the claim steps and run estimate to contract to production.
The difference

The old way
What the whiteboard costs roofing contractors.
The storm buries the office
Lead volume that outruns intake becomes inspections that never happen.
The claim dies in email
Paperwork scattered across threads is how approvals stall and supplements get missed.
Supplements left on the roof
Commonly missed items (drip edge, ventilation, ice and water shield) are recovered by checklist, not by memory.

Is this comparison current?
The Jobber side is read from its own pricing page or from what shops report, as of August 2026, and it says which. If Jobber changes its model, this page is wrong until it is updated, and we would rather you check than trust a stale row.
