Roofing Estimating & Quoting Software in Canada (2026 Prices)
Electrical and HVAC both have a real estimating specialist. Roofing has something rarer: a genuinely Canadian-founded one, Roofr, built around the instant aerial measurement a roof quote should start from. Here's what's actually on the market for Canadian roofing contractors in 2026, with real prices pulled straight from each vendor's own site, and the quiet merger that just changed who even sells SumoQuote.
Quick answer: roofing estimating software in Canada
- Roofr — Canadian-founded, instant aerial measurement, proposal and payment in one app. Free (Starter, $19 USD/measurement report) up to $349 USD/mo (Scale).
- SumoQuote — started in Kelowna, BC; acquired by JobNimbus and no longer sold on its own. Its pricing page now redirects straight to JobNimbus.
- AccuLynx — roofing-only CRM built for sales, production and insurance claims. No published price; sales-call-only since it dropped its $250 USD/mo Essential plan in August 2026.
- EagleView — the aerial measurement report several of the above plug straight into. From $24.25 USD for a small roof report, up to $87 USD for a large one.
- JobNimbus — general job management CRM, four tiers (Essentials through Enterprise), all custom-quoted; now includes SumoQuote's proposal engine.
No single tool here does aerial measurement, CRM and job costing all at once without a gap. The full comparison table and the SumoQuote/JobNimbus merger explanation are both below.

Roofing Estimating & Quoting Software in Canada (2026)
All prices below are in USD unless noted, and as of November 2026 none of these vendors publish a separate CAD rate, so budget for the exchange rate on top of the sticker price. Figures came straight from each vendor's own pricing or store page unless the table says otherwise.
| Tool | Best For | Team Size | Starting Price | Key Strength | Main Drawback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roofr | Instant aerial measurement, proposal and payment in one app | 1, scales per user (unlimited users on every plan) | Free (Starter, $19 USD/measurement report) or from $109 USD/mo (Measure+) | Canadian-founded; measurement, proposal, e-signature and payment live in one workflow | Unlimited proposals, invoices and payments need Essentials ($249 USD/mo) or higher |
| SumoQuote | Visual, photo-based proposal building for a BC or western Canada shop | Was priced per user (5-user minimum on its last published plan) | No longer sold standalone; acquired by JobNimbus, pricing now folded into JobNimbus's custom quote | Started in Kelowna, BC — genuine local roots and photo-heavy proposal design roofing crews liked | You can't buy it on its own anymore; budget for a JobNimbus quote instead |
| AccuLynx | Roofing-only CRM covering sales, production and insurance claims | Priced per user, custom quote | No published rate; AccuLynx dropped its $250 USD/mo Essential plan in August 2026, so every tier is now sales-call-only | Built roofing-specific, with insurance/storm claim and supplement tracking general tools don't have | No price on the website at all; third-party estimates run roughly $100–$300 USD/user/mo |
| EagleView | Aerial measurement reports that feed a proposal in Roofr, SumoQuote, AccuLynx or JobNimbus | Per report, no user licence | From $24.25 USD (Gold tier, small 20-square report) up to $87 USD (Bronze tier, large 40+ square report) | The measurement source several of the above plug straight into, so you're not remeasuring by hand | Priced per report, not a flat subscription, so cost scales with how many jobs you quote |
| JobNimbus | General job management/CRM for a roofing or multi-trade crew | Essentials (up to 3 users) through Enterprise (20+) | No published rate; third-party estimates put Essentials around $225 USD/mo plus $20–75 USD/user/mo | Unlimited contacts, estimates, documents and e-sign on every tier, plus the SumoQuote proposal engine now built in | Four tiers, all request-a-quote, so you're starting a sales conversation to get a real number |
A note on sourcing: Roofr and EagleView publish pricing directly, and the numbers above came straight from roofr.com/pricing and eagleview.com's pricing page. SumoQuote no longer publishes its own price — its pricing page now redirects to jobnimbus.com/pricing, confirmed live in November 2026; the last price it published on its own, archived in October 2025, was $239 USD/mo for 5 users (Heavy plan), or $209 USD/mo billed annually, plus $48 USD/mo per extra user. AccuLynx and JobNimbus don't publish pricing at all; the ranges above are third-party estimates (SubcontractorHub, ITQlick, G2 reviews), not a quote — confirm the real number with each vendor's sales team before you budget.
What Roofing-Specific Software Needs That General Job Management Doesn't
A roof quote starts with a measurement, not a guess. Jobber, Tradify and Housecall Pro can build a quote and send an invoice, but none of them measure a roof. That's what EagleView and Roofr's own Instant Estimator solve: an aerial or satellite image turned into a squares-and-pitch report in minutes, without a ladder.
Waste factor is the next thing a general tool skips. A hip roof with four valleys eats more shingle per square than a simple gable, and pricing it like the second costs you material on every job. Roofr, SumoQuote and AccuLynx all build a waste-factor percentage into the measurement-to-material step; Jobber and Tradify leave that math to you.
Manufacturer warranty registration is the other gap. GAF, IKO and Malarkey all tie their best warranty tiers (GAF's Golden Pledge, for instance) to using a certified contractor and registering the job with the manufacturer within a set window after completion. None of the software here files that registration for you — it's still a manual step through the manufacturer's own portal — but AccuLynx and Roofr both track the certification and warranty tier per job, so it doesn't get missed.
If job costing and crew scheduling matter more to your shop than roofing-specific measurement and warranty tracking, see our guide to the best job management software for small contractors — Jobber, Tradify and Housecall Pro all get covered there in more depth.
A Canadian Note: Tax and the SumoQuote/JobNimbus Merger
GST, HST and PST apply differently to labour and materials depending on your province, and roofing often splits a job between the two: tear-off and labour versus shingles, underlayment and flashing. In BC, GST (5%) applies to both labour and materials, and PST (7%) applies to materials but generally not to labour on a residential roofing job — confirm the current split with your bookkeeper, since PST treatment of contracted labour has changed before. Ontario contractors charge 13% HST on the whole invoice, labour and materials together.
Two of the five tools above were actually built in Canada. Roofr is Canadian-founded, so CAD billing and Canadian tax handling were part of it from day one. SumoQuote has the same roots: it started in Kelowna, BC. SumoQuote was acquired by JobNimbus, a US company, at some point before November 2026 — its pricing page now redirects straight to jobnimbus.com/pricing, and it's no longer sold as a standalone product. If you picked SumoQuote specifically for its BC roots, budget for a JobNimbus quote instead; the underlying photo-proposal tool reportedly still exists, just inside JobNimbus's platform, not as its own purchase.
Which One Fits Your Crew
Team size is the fastest filter here, before you get into aerial measurement or claim tracking:
- Solo or 2-truck roofer: Roofr's Starter plan is free, with pay-per-report aerial measurement at $19 USD — a working setup before you've committed to a monthly fee. Add Measure+ ($109 USD/mo) once you want faster report turnaround and CSV exports.
- 5+ crew, multi-region: Roofr Scale ($349 USD/mo) covers crew management, job costing and a QuickBooks integration a 2-truck operation doesn't need yet. If you're running storm or insurance claims specifically, AccuLynx's roofing-only claim workflow is worth the sales call even without a published price.
- Need aerial measurement without committing to a full platform: EagleView's per-report pricing (from $24.25 USD) works stand-alone, feeding whichever proposal tool you already use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best roofing estimating software in Canada?
For most small Canadian roofing crews, Roofr is the strongest all-in-one pick: it's Canadian-founded, and it bundles aerial measurement, proposals, e-signature and payment in one app, free to start with pay-per-report measurement, or from $109 USD/mo on Measure+. If you run storm or insurance-claim work specifically, AccuLynx's roofing-only CRM is worth the sales call even though it no longer publishes a price. There's no single best answer for every shop; it depends on whether you need aerial measurement built in or just general job management.
Do I need aerial measurement software for roofing quotes?
Not strictly, but it changes how fast and how accurately you quote. General job management tools like Jobber or Tradify can build a quote and send an invoice, but none of them measure a roof. EagleView and Roofr's own Instant Estimator turn an aerial or satellite image into a squares-and-pitch report in minutes, without a ladder, so you can quote from the office or the truck instead of climbing every roof before you price it.
How much does roofing estimating software cost?
Roofr runs free (Starter, pay $19 USD per measurement report) up to $349 USD/mo (Scale) for crew management and job costing. EagleView's aerial reports run from $24.25 USD for a small roof up to $87 USD for a large one, billed per report rather than monthly. AccuLynx and JobNimbus don't publish pricing; third-party estimates put AccuLynx around $100–$300 USD per user a month and JobNimbus around $225–$550 USD a month plus $20–75 USD per user, but both require a sales call to confirm. All figures are in US dollars as of November 2026 unless noted.
What's the difference between roofing CRM and general job management software?
A roofing-specific CRM like AccuLynx tracks things a general tool doesn't: insurance and storm-claim status, manufacturer warranty tier and certification per job, and waste-factor material calculations built around roof shape. General job management software like Jobber or Tradify handles scheduling, invoicing and payments well across any trade, but leaves measurement, waste factor and warranty tracking to you. Which one you need depends on whether roofing-specific features pay for themselves given how your crew actually quotes jobs.
