DripJobs CRM Review 2025: What’s New and Why We Still Recommend It
At Taurify, we work with painting businesses every day to help them grow with smart, ROI-driven marketing strategies. And one tool we always recommend is DripJobs, the CRM built specifically for home service businesses, especially painters. We’ve already reviewed DripJobs before, but after a wave of new updates, it’s time for a fresh look at why it continues to be one of the best CRMs available.
What Is DripJobs?
DripJobs is a customer relationship management (CRM) platform designed to streamline every part of a painting contractor's business—from tracking leads to closing jobs and everything in between. Many of our clients use DripJobs, and the results speak for themselves. With strong lead tracking, automation, scheduling, and communication tools, DripJobs helps contractors run more organized and profitable operations.
Why Every Painting Contractor Needs a CRM
Still using pen and paper or a basic template to track estimates? You’re probably leaving money on the table. A good CRM helps you:
Track leads from every marketing source
Automate follow-ups through email and text
Organize jobs and manage your sales pipeline
See performance metrics clearly (sales per rep, job conversion rate, etc.)
Make smarter business decisions based on actual data
What’s New in DripJobs (And What We Love)
✅ Updated Sales Pipeline with Labels
The new pipeline view is cleaner and more organized. You can now add custom labels to jobs like “waiting for reply,” “rescheduled,” or “hot lead.” This makes collaboration easier and ensures your whole sales team is aligned.
✅ Built-In Two-Way Text Messaging
Before, texting required third-party tools like Twilio. Now, DripJobs has direct text messaging built-in, including support for A2P 10DLC registration (which helps reduce spam and improves deliverability). This centralizes communication and avoids texts getting lost on someone’s personal phone.
✅ Calendar Upgrades (And What’s Still Missing)
You can now:
Filter the calendar by team members
Sync with Google Calendar to avoid double bookings
But we’d still like to see features like:
True availability blocking
Route optimization (to avoid driving across town between estimates)
These are minor drawbacks, and we know the DripJobs team is already working on these updates based on user feedback.
New Features You Shouldn’t Overlook
✅ Pre-Built Drip Automations
DripJobs comes with over 40 pre-built automations that send email and text follow-ups throughout the sales and job pipeline. This helps ensure no lead gets left behind and keeps clients informed without you lifting a finger.
✅ Financing Integration with Acorn Finance
Offering financing can help you close more jobs, especially for larger projects. The Acorn Finance integration allows customers to apply for financing directly within DripJobs, with no added cost to the contractor. That’s a huge win.
✅ Enhanced Zapier Integrations
With new Zapier triggers and actions, you can automate even more:
Send follow-ups when a proposal is viewed
Request reviews when a job is marked complete
Sync with other tools you already use
If you're not using Zapier, it's worth exploring. It unlocks a lot of extra automation potential.
Education and Support: Major Improvements
✅ DripJobs Academy
DripJobs has launched DripJobs Academy, a training library with beginner to advanced courses. Whether you're setting up your CRM for the first time or trying to master production rate estimating, there’s helpful content available.
Courses include:
DripJobs 101 – For first-time users

✅ Hands-On Support
Need help? You can now:
Book a refresher session
Join a weekly roundtable
Schedule expert sessions on topics like Zapier, job costing, and more
This level of support is a game-changer, especially for teams that need help onboarding or scaling.
The Bottom Line: Is DripJobs Worth It?
Absolutely. DripJobs continues to raise the bar for what a CRM should do for painting contractors. With better automations, communication, support, and now financing options, this tool pays for itself with even one extra job closed.
If you’re serious about growing your painting business, organizing your leads, and making better decisions with data, DripJobs is the right choice.
