Hover charges for every project it measures, and it prints those prices on its own pricing page. What you pay depends on three things: your plan, the type of scan, and how complex the property is. We read Hover’s pricing page on September 30, 2026, and every Hover price below comes from it.
Quick Answer
Hover charges per project. A full exterior scan costs $59, $99 or $139 on the Starter plan (simple, average or complex home), $20 less on Pro, which costs $999 a year, and a flat $79 on Business, which costs $2,999 a year. Roof-only scans run $29 to $69 on Starter, $9 to $49 on Pro and a flat $39 on Business. Your first 3 projects are free with no credit card, and Enterprise pricing is by quote.
RSG Verdict
Hover turns smartphone photos into a 3D model with measurements, and since its January 2026 platform launch it also builds estimates and proposals with e-signatures. Its per-project prices are public, so you can do the math before you sign up. Pro’s $999 a year pays for itself at about 50 projects a year through the $20 discount alone, and the estimating, design and CRM tools only come with Pro and up.
Pros
- 3D property models from smartphone photos, with no drone or aerial order needed
- Every per-project price is published, from $9 roof-only scans on Pro to $139 complex exteriors on Starter
- First 3 projects free with no credit card
- Pro and up add estimates, 2D design, agreements and CRM integrations; Hover says it connects to over 1,000 tools
- Business charges one flat rate per scan type, whatever the roof complexity
Cons
- Someone has to be on site with a phone; Hover doesn’t sell measurements from aerial imagery alone
- Estimates, design, agreements and CRM integrations aren’t on the Starter plan
- Users report failed scans with vague errors like “No good corner shot” after leaving the job site
- Users report that not every manufacturer color and product line is in Hover’s design library
- Users report PDF measurement reports can be hard to read on complex properties
Hover Pricing at a Glance: What You Need to Know in 2026
Hover’s pricing page lists four plans. Starter is free to join and you pay per project; Pro costs $999 a year and takes $20 off every project; Business costs $2,999 a year and charges one flat rate per scan type; Enterprise is priced by quote. Every plan covers your whole team, since Hover puts no limit on users.
Per-project prices depend on the scan type (full exterior, roof only, interior, or measurements from blueprints) and, on Starter and Pro, on how complex the structure is. Hover sorts homes into simple (up to 4 facets), average (5 to 8 facets) and complex (9 or more facets).
The January 2026 platform launch changed what a project gets you. Hover now builds estimates from its 3D models and sends proposals with e-signatures, and it says it connects to over 1,000 tools. Those tools start on Pro, so on the Starter plan Hover is mainly a measurement service.
Hover Plan Tiers: Starter vs. Pro vs. Business vs. Enterprise
The difference between Hover’s plans comes down to the yearly fee, what you pay per project, which tools you get, and how fast reports come back. Here’s how they break down for roofing contractors.
Starter Plan
Starter has no subscription: you pay for each project, and your first 3 are free with no credit card. You get measurements, the 3D model, photo markups, invite-to-scan links for homeowners, the Estimatics connection to Verisk or Cotality, and API access. Hover’s design tools, estimates, agreements and CRM integrations are not included, exports are limited to PDF and ESX, and reports typically arrive in 12 hours. Starter makes sense if you measure occasionally and send the numbers to another estimating tool.
Pro Plan
Pro costs $999 a year and takes $20 off every project, so it pays for itself at about 50 projects a year on the discount alone. It also earns $1,000 in Hover credits for every $10,000 you spend, cuts expedited delivery from $39 to $19, and unlocks 2D design, estimates, agreements, CRM and project-management integrations and every export format. Reports typically arrive in 4 hours.
Business Plan
Business costs $2,999 a year and replaces complexity pricing with one flat rate per scan type: $79 for a full exterior, $39 for roof only and $49 for an interior, whatever the structure. It adds up to 10 branches, single sign-on and hands-on training for your team, with expedited delivery at $19 and the same 4-hour typical turnaround as Pro. Business pays off for teams measuring a lot of complex homes, where Pro charges $119 for a complex full exterior.
Enterprise Plan
Enterprise is priced by quote. It adds every branch managed from one account, advanced permissions, your own approved product list and SKUs, a dedicated account team for implementation and training, and payment by invoice, and Hover lists a typical turnaround of 2 hours. Multi-location roofing companies with high scan volume should start that conversation once they have tracked their volume on Pro or Business.
| Feature | Starter | Pro | Business | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yearly Fee | $0 | $999 | $2,999 | Custom |
| Full Exterior Scan (simple / average / complex) | $59 / $99 / $139 | $39 / $79 / $119 | $79 flat | Custom |

Per-Scan Costs: How Hover’s Usage-Based Pricing Actually Works
The Hover app cost per report depends on your plan, the scan type and, on Starter and Pro, the complexity of the property. Hover uses three complexity tiers:
- Simple structures (up to 4 facets): garages, sheds and small homes with a basic A-frame roof
- Average structures (5 to 8 facets): a typical single-family home with a few roof sections
- Complex structures (9 or more facets): large or custom homes with multiple rooflines or features
| Scan Type | Starter (simple / average / complex) | Pro (simple / average / complex) | Business (flat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full exterior | $59 / $99 / $139 | $39 / $79 / $119 | $79 |
| Roof only | $29 / $49 / $69 | $9 / $29 / $49 | $39 |
| Interior (under 200 / 201 to 600 / over 600 sq ft) | $29 / $59 / $89 | $9 / $39 / $69 | $49 |
| Blueprint exterior | $99 / $199 / $299 | $79 / $179 / $279 | $189 |
| Blueprint roof | $49 / $99 / $149 | $29 / $79 / $129 | $99 |
Prices from Hover’s pricing page, read September 30, 2026. Expedited 1-hour delivery costs $39 per project on Starter and $19 on Pro and Business.
For a roofer, the roof-only scan is the one to watch. On Pro, an average home costs $29 instead of $49, and a complex one $49 instead of $69. A full exterior adds siding, gutters and windows, which matters if you also sell exterior work.
What Hover Pricing Looks Like at Scale
Here’s what a year of roof-only scans costs on each plan, using average homes (5 to 8 facets) and standard delivery. These are our calculations from Hover’s published prices, and your mix of simple and complex homes will move the numbers.
| Projects | Starter ($49 each) | Pro ($999 a year + $29 each) | Business ($2,999 a year + $39 each) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 a month (60 a year) | $2,940 a year | $2,739 a year ✓ | $5,339 a year |
| 10 a month (120 a year) | $5,880 a year | $4,479 a year ✓ | $7,679 a year |
| 25 a month (300 a year) | $14,700 a year | $9,699 a year ✓ | $14,699 a year |
| 50 a month (600 a year) | $29,400 a year | $18,399 a year ✓ | $26,399 a year |
Pro beats Starter once you pass about 50 projects a year, since $999 divided by the $20 discount is 50. Business only wins when most of your scans are complex full exteriors: it charges $79 where Pro charges $119, so its extra $2,000 a year pays back after 50 complex exteriors. Pro also returns $1,000 in Hover credits for every $10,000 you spend, which the table doesn’t count.
What’s New in 2026: The Platform Relaunch That Changes the Value Calculation
On January 13, 2026, Hover announced a connected platform that runs from measurements through design, estimates and signed proposals, and trade outlets including Roofing Contractor and Qualified Remodeler covered the launch. Before that, most contractors exported Hover’s measurements into separate tools for estimating and proposals. Now that workflow can stay inside Hover, on Pro and up.
Key New Capabilities
Automated Estimating: Estimates are built from Hover’s 3D models, and Hover’s feature table lists material lists with price and quantity (including waste), labor and fees, and sales estimates with markup, tax, financing and promotions. That means no retyping measurements into a spreadsheet or a separate estimating tool. These tools are on Pro, Business and Enterprise.
Complete Proposals with E-Signatures: You can build branded proposals with side-by-side options and collect e-signatures in Hover. If you pay for a separate proposal or e-signature tool today, Pro could replace it.
Enhanced 2D and 3D Design: The design workflow got a unified material library, so you can show homeowners real products on their own house. Hover’s summer 2026 updates added trim scoping in 3D and easier product changes in 2D.
Workflow Integrations: Hover says it connects to over 1,000 tools across CRM, production and business systems. Its integrations page names about 40 partners, including AccuLynx, JobNimbus, CompanyCam, ServiceTitan, Leap, Xactimate and myABCsupply, but not Jobber or QuickBooks. CRM integrations start on Pro.
Hover’s founder and CEO, A.J. Altman, called it “a true all-in-one solution” in the launch announcement. Whether it replaces your other tools depends on your plan, since Starter doesn’t include design, estimates or agreements.
Is Hover Worth It? ROI Breakdown for Roofing Contractors
This is the question that matters more than the sticker price: does Hover make you money? Here’s how we see the numbers landing for different contractor profiles.
Time Savings on Roof Measurements
By our estimate, measuring a roof by hand takes 1 to 3 hours on site depending on complexity, plus ladder setup and safety time. A Hover capture means walking the property with your phone, and an exterior scan needs at least 8 photos, one of each side and each corner. At $50 an hour, saving 1 to 3 hours is worth $50 to $150 per job.
Error Reduction on Takeoffs
Takeoffs from hand measurements are where expensive mistakes happen, and a 5% error on the materials for a $15,000 roof job can mean hundreds of dollars in shortfalls or overages. Estimates built from 3D models don’t remove every error, but users report better accuracy than hand measurements. One less re-order a month could cover a good share of your Hover spend.
Faster Close Rates
With proposals and e-signatures built in on Pro and up, you cut the time between inspection and signed contract. You don’t have to go back to the office to build a proposal in a separate tool. Presenting side-by-side options on the spot, instead of days later, gives you a better shot at closing.
Break-Even Analysis
| Contractor Profile | Monthly Jobs | Hover Cost per Month (Pro, roof only) | Time Saved per Month (our estimate) | Worth It? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solo/small crew | 5 to 8 | $228 to $315 | $250 to $1,200 | Marginal; depends on your close rate |
| Growing company | 15 to 25 | $518 to $808 | $750 to $3,750 | Yes ✓ |
| Multi-crew operation | 40 to 60 | $1,243 to $1,823, or an Enterprise quote | $2,000 to $9,000 | Yes ✓ |
Hover costs use roof-only scans on average homes at Pro’s $29 each, plus the $999 yearly fee spread over 12 months ($83); full exterior scans cost more. Time saved uses our estimate of $50 to $150 per job.
For small contractors, the answer depends on whether Hover replaces other paid tools, and that takes Pro. If Pro replaced, say, a $30 a month proposal tool, a $25 e-signature subscription and a $50 estimating platform, that’s $105 a month back before you count time savings. If you already use free tools for those jobs, the math is tighter at low volume.

Hover vs. EagleView vs. GAF QuickMeasure: Pricing and Feature Comparison
Here’s how Hover stacks up against EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure on the points that matter most for roofers. We read all three vendors’ pricing pages on September 30, 2026.
| Category | Hover | EagleView | GAF QuickMeasure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | Per project; Pro ($999 a year) and Business ($2,999 a year) lower the per-project price | Per report; Silver and Gold rates unlock with volume or prepaying | Per report |
| Roof Report Price | Roof only: $29 to $69 Starter, $9 to $49 Pro, $39 Business | Bid Perfect $18; Premium from $32.75 (Bronze) | $18 for GAF Master Elite contractors, $20 for all other pros (single-family) |
| Photo Source | Contractor smartphone photos ✓ | Aerial imagery | Aerial imagery |
| On-Site Visit Required | Yes, you capture the photos | No, ordered remotely ✓ | No, ordered remotely ✓ |
| 3D Model and Design | Full 3D property model; design tools on Pro and up ✓ | 3D models through EagleView One, a separate subscription | Interactive 3D rendering in each report |
| Built-In Estimating | Yes, Pro and up ✓ | No | Bill of materials in each report |
| Proposals with E-Signatures | Yes, Pro and up ✓ | No | No |
| Turnaround | 12 hours Starter, 4 hours Pro and Business, 2 hours Enterprise; 1-hour expedited option | Not published | 1 hour or less (single-family) |
| Integrations | Hover says 1,000+; CRM integrations on Pro and up | Partners include AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Jobber and Leap | Order inside partners such as ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, Leap and SRS |
Hover’s biggest advantage: On Pro and up, it’s a full platform, while EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure are mainly measurement reports. After Hover’s 2026 launch, you’re comparing a report against a workflow that runs through a signed proposal. That changes the pricing comparison, but only if you pay for Pro.
EagleView’s biggest advantage: No site visit required. You order a report from your desk and aerial imagery does the rest, which helps on insurance work or properties you can’t easily get to. A Bid Perfect report costs $18, less than any Starter roof scan from Hover. We break this down further in our EagleView vs Hover comparison and our EagleView pricing guide.
GAF QuickMeasure’s edge: Single-family reports cost $18 for GAF Master Elite contractors and $20 for everyone else, delivered in an hour or less with a bill of materials included. You don’t need GAF certification to order one. See our GAF QuickMeasure vs Roofr comparison for how it stacks up against Roofr’s reports.
For contractors who are already on site for inspections, Hover’s smartphone capture makes more sense than paying for aerial imagery you don’t need. If you’re running storm operations and ordering reports for properties you haven’t visited yet, EagleView’s or GAF QuickMeasure’s remote ordering is the better fit.
Honest Limitations: What Hover Users Complain About Most
The complaints that do surface about Hover are consistent and specific. Here’s what users report, so you know before committing.
Photo Capture Failures
The most frustrating issue users report: you take all the photos on site, drive to the next job, and then find the scan failed with a vague error like “No good corner shot.” Users also report they can’t log in to the app without a cellular signal. An exterior scan needs at least 8 photos, one of each side and each corner, so a missed angle can mean a trip back to the property.
Dense or Vegetated Properties
Some app-store reviewers flag problems on small lots with mature trees. If you can’t get far enough from the house to capture the angles Hover needs, because of neighboring homes, fences or trees, the scan won’t work. In older neighborhoods with dense canopies, that can rule Hover out for specific properties.
Limited Material Options in 3D Design
Users report that not every manufacturer color and product line is in Hover’s design library, even after the 2026 update. That makes for awkward moments when a homeowner wants to see a specific shingle color that isn’t there. Reviewers ask for full color options for shingles and siding, plus trim options around windows, openings and fascia.
PDF Measurement Report Readability
Users say the PDF measurement reports can be hard to read on complex properties, with numbers running together. One user asked for a way to customize what the PDF includes. When you’re verifying a dimension in the field, overlapping numbers defeat the point of digital measurements.
Integration Gaps
Hover says it connects to over 1,000 tools, but its integrations page doesn’t list everything. Buildertrend, Jobber and QuickBooks aren’t on it, and users report photos don’t sync to Buildertrend automatically. Check your specific tools before assuming the 1,000+ claim covers your stack, and for photo documentation, some contractors pair Hover with CompanyCam.
Per-Scan Pricing for Infrequent Users
On Starter you pay the full per-project price with no discounts, and a complex full exterior costs $139. Pro’s $20 discount only pays back its $999 fee after about 50 projects a year. Users report the pricing feels high if you don’t plan to use Hover often.
How to Get Started with Hover and Manage Your Costs
Step 1: Use your 3 free projects. Hover’s first 3 projects are free with no credit card. Run real jobs of different sizes and compare the reports with your own measurements before you pay for anything.
Step 2: Choose the right plan for your volume. Under about 50 projects a year, and if you only need measurements, Starter costs less than Pro. Above that, or if you want Hover’s estimates, design and CRM integrations, Pro at $999 a year is the better buy. Look at Business ($2,999 a year) only if most of your scans are complex full exteriors.
Step 3: Use expedited delivery strategically. The 1-hour upgrade ($39 on Starter, $19 on Pro and Business) is worth it when a fast report could win a job. For planned work, standard delivery (12 hours on Starter, 4 on Pro and Business) is usually fast enough.
Step 4: Audit your current tool spend. List what you pay for separate measurement, estimating, proposal, e-signature and photo documentation tools. Compare that total with Hover’s yearly fee plus your per-project spend to find your real net cost. Hover can come close to cost-neutral if it replaces 3 or 4 subscriptions.
Step 5: For Enterprise needs, request a quote through Hover’s pricing page. Bring your monthly volume and current tool costs to the conversation, since that puts you in a stronger position to negotiate pricing that works for your operation.
What Contractors Are Asking
“Can I use Hover on a commercial flat roof, or is it just for residential?”
Hover is mainly designed for residential exteriors. The smartphone capture works best on structures you can walk around and photograph from the ground. Large commercial flat roofs with little elevation change are hard to capture from the ground, so many contractors use aerial measurement tools like EagleView for commercial work.
“What happens if my Hover scan fails after I’ve already left the job site?”
You’ll get a notice that the scan couldn’t be completed, usually with a generic error message, and you’ll need to go back and recapture photos. Users report this happens most on complex structures or when one angle wasn’t captured clearly. Hover needs at least 8 exterior photos, one of each side and each corner, so take extras from each corner and midpoint.
“Does the material list in Hover actually sync with my supplier, or do I still have to re-enter everything?”
Hover builds material lists with quantities from the 3D model, and on Pro and up its feature list includes direct material ordering. Its integrations page lists myABCsupply, QXO and SRS’s Roof Hub. Check that your supplier account and pricing connect before assuming orders sync automatically.
“Is Hover accurate enough that I can skip the on-site measurement entirely?”
Many contractors treat Hover’s roof measurements as a primary source but still check critical dimensions during the on-site inspection they’re doing anyway. Users report Hover seems more accurate than competitors, but no independent benchmark study confirms exact accuracy percentages. For insurance work where precision matters, we recommend spot-checking ridge and valley lengths on complex roofs.
“I’m already paying for AccuLynx. Does adding Hover make sense, or is that overkill?”
It can be a strong combination. AccuLynx handles CRM, project management and crew scheduling, while Hover handles measurements, 3D models and visual proposals, and Hover lists AccuLynx as an integration partner (CRM integrations start on Pro). AccuLynx can also order Hover measurement reports directly, so the question is whether you need Hover’s estimating and proposal tools on top of AccuLynx’s own. Read our full AccuLynx review for details on its estimating capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Hover cost per job?
Hover publishes its per-project prices. A full exterior scan costs $59, $99 or $139 on Starter (simple, average or complex home), $39, $79 or $119 on Pro, and a flat $79 on Business. Roof-only scans cost $29, $49 or $69 on Starter, $9, $29 or $49 on Pro, and a flat $39 on Business. Expedited 1-hour delivery adds $39 on Starter or $19 on Pro and Business.
Is Hover free to use?
Your first 3 projects are free with no credit card. After that, the Starter plan has no subscription fee, but you pay for every project, starting at $29 for a simple roof-only scan. There is no free unlimited plan.
What is the difference between Hover Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans?
Starter has no yearly fee and full per-project prices, with measurements and 3D models but no design, estimates or CRM integrations. Pro costs $999 a year, takes $20 off every project, cuts expedited delivery to $19 and adds design, estimates, agreements and integrations. Business costs $2,999 a year and charges one flat rate per scan type, with up to 10 branches and single sign-on, while Enterprise is by quote and adds advanced permissions, a dedicated account team and payment by invoice.
Does Hover offer a free trial?
Yes. Hover’s first 3 projects are free and no credit card is needed. The Starter plan card says you can try design and estimating, but full access to design, estimates and agreements comes with Pro.
Is Hover worth it for small contractors?
It depends on your volume and whether Hover replaces other paid tools. On Starter, a contractor measuring a few homes a month pays only for those projects, but gets no estimating or proposal tools. Pro’s $999 a year pays back on the $20 discount after about 50 projects, and it’s the plan you need if Hover is going to replace your estimating, proposal and e-signature tools.
How accurate is Hover for roof measurements?
Users generally rate Hover’s accuracy well, and some say it seems more accurate than competitors. The 3D model is built from smartphone photos, so accuracy depends on photo quality and capture conditions, and an exterior scan needs at least 8 photos. Most contractors still check critical dimensions during their on-site inspection.
What integrations does Hover support?
Hover says it connects to over 1,000 tools across CRM, production and business systems, and its integrations page names about 40 partners, including AccuLynx, JobNimbus, CompanyCam, ServiceTitan, Leap, Xactimate and myABCsupply. Jobber, QuickBooks and Buildertrend aren’t on that list. CRM integrations need Pro or higher, while the Estimatics connection to Verisk or Cotality and API access come with every plan.
How does Hover compare to EagleView?
Hover needs someone on site to take smartphone photos, and on Pro and up it adds estimating, 3D design and proposals. EagleView uses aerial imagery, needs no site visit and is mainly a measurement report, with Bid Perfect reports at $18. Hover fits contractors already visiting properties who want one workflow, while EagleView fits remote ordering, insurance work and hard-to-reach sites. See our detailed comparison for a full breakdown.
Final Verdict: Is Hover Worth the Price in 2026?
Hover’s 2026 platform launch moved it from a measurement tool to an all-in-one workflow, but only on Pro and up. That changes the pricing conversation: on Pro, you’re comparing $999 a year plus per-project fees against the combined cost of your measurement, estimating, proposal, e-signature and design tools.
For roofing companies running 5 or more projects a month, Pro is where Hover makes the most sense: the $20 discount covers the fee at about 50 projects a year, expedited delivery drops to $19, and you get the estimating and proposal tools. Business only pays off if you scan a lot of complex full exteriors, and multi-location operations should get an Enterprise quote once they know their volume.
For contractors doing only a few jobs a month, start with the 3 free projects and be honest about whether the per-project cost pencils out. If you measure with a tape and ladder and build proposals in Word, Hover will save you time. If you already use lower-cost tools like Roofr and a basic proposal tool, Hover needs to lift your close rate to justify the extra cost.
The bottom line: Hover earns its 8.3 RSG Score because the feature set is strong, while its 7.4 on Pricing Value reflects how much of that feature set sits behind Pro’s $999 a year. If your volume supports it, Hover is a strong platform for roofers who are on site anyway.
RSG Verdict
Hover turns smartphone photos into 3D models with measurements, and on Pro and up it builds estimates, designs and signed proposals from them. Its per-project prices are public: $29 to $69 for a roof-only scan on Starter, $20 less on Pro ($999 a year), and flat rates on Business ($2,999 a year). Pro pays for itself at about 50 projects a year, and low-volume contractors should start with the 3 free projects.
