The Bottom Line
Same price. Way more platform.
You're already spending $750/mo across JobNimbus, Engage, CompanyCam, and Brevo. Contractor Hub replaces all of them for the same cost — with features none of them offer.

Contractor Hub
$749/mo

What you gain that you don't have today: Partial invoicing with deposits, change orders, invoice merging, built-in photo annotation and shareable galleries, digital signatures that don't expire in 5 days, SMS and phone calls included (not a $49–249/mo add-on), unlimited automations, one-click sales reports by rep, and room to grow from 4 to 10 users at no additional cost.

Decide
When you're ready, purchase the software at its current value.
How the purchase price works: The price is based on what the software is worth at the time you buy it — not what it cost to build. Early on (6–12 months), the price is close to the original development cost. The longer you wait, the more features have been added, the more the platform has been proven, and the more it's worth. If other contractors are using it by then, the payment processing and subscription revenue it generates also factor into the value.
The simple version: Buy early, pay less. Buy later, pay more — but you've had months or years of zero-risk usage to prove the value before writing a check. You can stay on the subscription forever if you prefer. There's no pressure to purchase.
Why this model is worth considering: By the time you're ready to buy, you'll already know the platform works. You'll know how your team uses it, what it's worth to your daily operations, and whether licensing it to other contractors makes sense. You're not guessing on a $200K check — you're making an informed decision based on months of real usage.
Model 3
Own it outright.
You pay for the development. You own the software, the code, and the rights. It becomes a business asset.
What You Get
Investment
Web platform (141 features + mobile web access)
$150,000 – $200,000
Web platform + native iOS & Android apps
$200,000 – $250,000
What this includes: The complete software with full ownership rights. You can use it for your own business, license it to other contractors, or include it as an asset if you sell the company. 90 days of post-launch support included. Final price depends on scope — the web platform alone is at the lower end, adding native iOS and Android apps pushes toward the upper end.
Ongoing maintenance: Software needs regular upkeep — security updates, bug fixes, and changes when services we integrate with update their systems. Maintenance plans start at $1,500/mo. You also pay hosting costs directly (~$150–300/mo).
Why some businesses choose ownership: If you know other contractors who would pay for the same system, owning the software means you can license it to them and generate recurring revenue. You're expanding into Arkansas and Oklahoma — you'll meet other roofing and siding companies who deal with the same JobNimbus frustrations. Ownership turns a one-time purchase into an ongoing business.

Based on $749/mo per contractor. This is subscription revenue only — it doesn't include communications revenue (SMS, calling) or payment processing volume from tenants, which add to the total. Maintenance costs (~$1,500/mo) come out of this, but the margins are strong once you pass 3–4 paying contractors.
What stays with Cortex Automations regardless of model: Payment processing is provided as a managed service. We handle the merchant accounts, compliance, and infrastructure so you don't have to. This applies to all three models.
Comparison
The real cost of staying vs. switching.
The subscription costs the same as your current tools. The difference is what you get for that money — and what happens as you grow.

One-time setup: There's a one-time setup fee of $2,500 (standard) or $5,000 (with full JobNimbus data migration). After that, the monthly cost is the same as what you're paying today — with significantly more capability.
As you grow: Adding users in JobNimbus costs $55–75/month per person. With Contractor Hub's Professional plan, you can grow from 4 to 10 users at no additional cost. By the time you have 8 users for your Arkansas and Oklahoma expansion, you'd be paying over $1,000/mo in JobNimbus alone. Contractor Hub stays at $749.
