In its favor

Why people choose Sunbase Data

The signal that keeps Sunbase Data on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Modular pricing lets small and mid-sized contractors pay only for the features they need rather than licensing an oversized suite, with packages available for solar, roofing, and construction workflows.

Automation workflows for emails, task creation, and follow-ups reduce manual overhead for sales and field teams, saving reported time on repetitive operational tasks.

All-in-one platform consolidates CRM, proposals, scheduling, and financial tools that contractors would otherwise manage across multiple disconnected systems.

Industry-specific features for solar (aerial measurement, financing applications, permit tracking) provide built-in workflows that generic CRMs lack.

Strong customer support with named technical contacts like Jared Dubin offering custom database design assistance during onboarding.

Admin setup requires technical knowledge; non-programmers report significant difficulty configuring the platform without developer support.

Custom module configurations are not portable, making it difficult to evaluate alternatives or switch platforms without rebuilding workflows from scratch.

Pricing is opaque and negotiated per-customer, creating uncertainty during renewal and making cost comparison with alternatives difficult.

As the business scales, the platform's flexibility becomes a liability; complex setups are harder to maintain and audit without dedicated technical staff.

No publicly documented REST API limits integration options, pushing technically sophisticated teams toward platforms with better developer ecosystems.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Sunbase Data fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Vertical fit for solar, roofing, and construction contractors — Sunbase bundles CRM, proposals, project management, scheduling, solar design, financial management, inventory, HR/payroll integration, and reporting in one platformDoor-to-door canvassing tools with route optimization, performance monitoring, and lead tracking purpose-built for field sales teamsNative CRM captures leads from website forms, D2D canvassing, and partner referrals into a unified pipeline with automated follow-ups and AI predictive analyticsReplaces multiple tools (CRM + proposals + scheduling + job tracking + reporting), with vendor claiming 11.6+ hours saved per week and 83% automation of manual tasksStrong customer retention — testimonials cite 5+ year usage and 4.4/5 Capterra rating across 2,843 reviews

Weaknesses

Initial setup requires technical knowledge or vendor support — admin configuration is not self-serveOnboarding takes weeks, not days, especially for non-technical usersSupport response quality is inconsistent — some users praise it, others report delaysFor commercial EPCs needing electrical engineering, Sunbase lacks automated SLD generation and wire sizing, forcing supplementation with other toolsPricing transparency is limited — advertises '$59/user/month' starting rate but full tier structure and feature gating not published

Where it works

Small to mid-sized solar installation companies managing the full project lifecycle from lead capture through installation completion, especially those with 10–50 employees needing consolidated tools.Contractor businesses with technical staff on-site—such as developers or database administrators—who can configure custom modules during initial setup and ongoing maintenance.US-based solar, roofing, and construction firms operating in states with complex permitting requirements and financing workflows where industry-specific tools provide meaningful workflow advantages.Contractor businesses seeking to consolidate multiple disconnected tools—separate CRM, proposal builders, spreadsheets—into a single unified platform rather than managing cross-system data synchronization.Organizations that receive dedicated onboarding support from technical contacts like Jared Dubin, who provides custom database design assistance during implementation.

Where it struggles

Non-technical administrators without programming or database configuration experience who find the admin setup process inaccessible without developer support.Businesses requiring a publicly documented REST API to build integrations with external systems such as accounting software, marketing tools, or custom internal applications.Organizations that need custom module configurations to be portable for evaluating alternatives or planning an eventual platform switch away from Sunbase.Contractor businesses seeking transparent, comparable pricing across vendors—Sunbase uses negotiated, per-customer pricing that varies based on modules and team size.Large contractor operations with complex, multi-layered setups that become harder to audit and maintain as the business scales without dedicated technical staff.

Pricing tiers

Sunbase Data pricing overview

Sunbase uses a modular pricing model starting at $59 per user per month. Final pricing depends on team size, selected modules, and implementation support needs. There are no publicly listed standard tiers; each customer receives a custom quote. Small operations pay less by selecting only the CRM module, while full-suite deployments covering project management, HR, and financial tools cost significantly more.

What gets migrated

Sunbase Data object support

Object-by-object support for Sunbase Data migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Contacts

Mapping required

Contact records in Sunbase include standard fields (name, email, phone, address) plus industry-specific fields depending on the CRM module configuration. We map each contact to the destination schema and preserve any custom fields added by the customer.

Leads

Mapping required

Sunbase captures leads through door-to-door sales forms, web capture, and manual entry. We preserve lead source, status, and assignment data. Some lead fields are tied to automation workflows that may not transfer 1:1.

Deals

Mapping required

Deals in Sunbase track the full sales cycle including proposals, quotes, and pipeline stages. We preserve deal values, stage history, and associated contacts. Custom deal fields require explicit mapping during scoping.

Projects

Mapping required

Projects represent installation or job-site operations. We carry over project metadata, status, budget tracking, and linked work orders. Projects with multiple associated records are migrated as a unit to maintain data relationships.

Work Orders

Mapping required

Work orders include permit info, task details, attachments, and system specifications. We preserve the full work order record including any linked employee assignments and scheduling data. Attachments are transferred as binary blobs alongside metadata.

Invoices

Mapping required

Sunbase generates invoices including repeat invoices and financing-related billing. We extract invoice line items, payment status, and linkage to the originating project or client. Historical paid invoices are migrated with read-only financial integrity.

Employees

Mapping required

Employee records include HR data, crew assignments, and GPS location history. We preserve employment metadata and role assignments. GPS trail data is bulk-exported where available and mapped to a destination-equivalent field.

Appointments

Mapping required

Appointments sync with Google Calendar and include customer-linked scheduling. We preserve appointment dates, times, assigned contacts, and status. Calendar linkage is not transferable; appointments land as static records in the destination.

Custom Objects

Not in this platform

Sunbase supports custom fields and custom objects within its module system, but there is no documented API or export schema for custom object definitions. We cannot guarantee complete migration of custom object schemas without direct database access. We recommend customers document custom field configurations before scoping.

Documents

Mapping required

Documents include contracts, financing applications, and permits stored within Sunbase. We extract binary files and preserve file names, upload dates, and associations to the parent record (contact, deal, or project). Document folder structures are flattened during migration.

Pipeline Configurations

Not in this platform

Sunbase pipeline configurations (visual sales boards, stage definitions, and workflow automations) are tied to the platform's internal workflow engine. These cannot be exported as structured data and are not migrated. We recreate pipeline stage names manually at the destination if requested.

Asset and Inventory

Mapping required

Asset and inventory records track materials, equipment, and supplies across projects. We preserve item names, quantities, linked projects, and supplier information. Inventory levels at the time of migration are carried over; real-time stock data requires a separate handoff process.
