Why contractors leave JobNimbus

The complaints we hear most from teams that switched, and what changes when you move.

Complaint

Three layers of fees make the real cost unpredictable

Base CRM + per-user fees + texting package. A solo operator on the Growing plan with texting starts at $300+/month. A 10-person team on Established with texting can hit $700-$900/month before you've processed a single payment.

With SecureCrews

One flat monthly fee. Unlimited users. SMS included. No layers, no math, no surprises.

Complaint

The email system is broken

The most cited single complaint on Capterra: emails don't deliver, formatting breaks, and there's no reliable way to know if a client received your estimate or invoice. One reviewer wrote: 'If they fixed email, this would be a 5/5.'

With SecureCrews

Email delivery via AWS SES with proper SPF/DKIM authentication. Delivery receipts and open tracking so you know when your client saw the estimate.

Complaint

Texting costs extra, a lot extra

JobNimbus charges $49-$249/month just for texting capability. For a roofing contractor who needs to text clients appointment reminders, crew updates, and payment links, this is a core feature behind a paywall.

With SecureCrews

SMS texting is included on every plan. Send appointment reminders, crew arrival notifications, and payment links without paying an extra dime.

Complaint

The mobile app is unreliable

Crew members in the field report crashes, sync failures, and missing features compared to the desktop version. For a platform that's supposed to manage field work, the mobile experience needs to be rock solid.

With SecureCrews

A dedicated React Native mobile app built for field crews. GPS clock-in, photo uploads, job details, push notifications, all designed for the person on the roof.
