Every roof measurement app vendor leads with its smallest number: $13 a report, first three projects free, $18 a parcel. The real price shows up only after you multiply by your monthly roof count and add rush fees, subscriptions and Xactimate file add-ons. We ran that math for five tools and ranked them on what a working roofer actually pays.
Quick Answer
Roofr is the best roof measurement app for most residential contractors in 2026. It has a $0 Starter plan, $13 reports on paid plans, and measurements that flow straight into proposals. GAF QuickMeasure is the best pay-per-report pick at $18 to $20 with 1-hour single-family delivery. EagleView still earns its place for insurance-heavy shops that want premium reports.
RSG Verdict
Roofr is our pick. It is a direct path from measurement to signed proposal, it costs nothing to start, and every plan includes unlimited users. Move to a paid plan once you order about 19 reports a month.

What Is a Roof Measurement App and Why Real Pricing Matters in 2026
A roof measurement app turns aerial imagery, satellite imagery, drone shots or phone photos into a measurement report: total roofing squares, roof pitch, roof facets, ridges, hips, valleys and a waste factor. You get numbers without putting a rep on a ladder.
That safety pitch used to be the selling point. Now every vendor makes it, and every crew already knows OSHA fall protection rules make roof walking for a quote a liability. Safety is table stakes. Price, speed and what happens after the report are what separate these tools.
That is why we rank by real price. Roofr’s free plan charges $19 per report. EagleView’s Premium report runs $60 for a medium roof at pay-as-you-go rates. Hover’s Pro membership is $999 a year before you buy a single scan. We cover Roofr, GAF QuickMeasure, EagleView, RoofSnap and Hover.
How We Ranked These Roof Measurement Apps
We did not repeat vendor accuracy percentages at face value. For each tool, we pulled the vendor’s own pricing page (fetched September 2026), dated release notes and actual user complaint text, then weighed them against each other.
Our criteria:
- Pricing transparency: is every price published, and what does 20 reports a month really cost?
- Product velocity: what shipped in 2025 and 2026, with dates.
- Integration depth: QuickBooks Online, Xactimate, and supplier ordering through ABC Supply, SRS Distribution and QXO.
- Documented complaints: only issues users actually reported.
One honest limitation: we did not find substantive user complaint text for EagleView in our research, so its cons come from documented limits on its own pages. Scores follow our published scoring rubric, the same one used across all our independent roofing software reviews.
Roof Measurement App Pricing Comparison: Subscription vs Pay-Per-Report
All five vendors publish prices, including EagleView, which prints a full rate card. Only EagleView’s Platinum tier, its EagleView One subscription and Hover Enterprise are quote-based.
| Tool | Pricing Model | Entry Price | Lowest Residential Report | Published Turnaround | RSG Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roofr | Free plan plus optional subscription; reports always pay-per-report | $0 Starter ✓ | $19 Starter; $13 paid plans | 24 hr estimate (Starter); 6 or 2 hr guaranteed (paid) | 9.3 |
| GAF QuickMeasure | Pay per report | No subscription | $18 Master Elite; $20 all others | 1 hr or less, single-family ✓ | 9.1 |
| EagleView | Pay per report; volume, prepay or partner tiers | No subscription for reports | $18 Bid Perfect; Premium from $32.75 (Bronze, small) | Not published | 9.0 |
| RoofSnap | Pay-as-you-go or per-user subscription | $105/user/mo billed monthly; from $52/user/mo billed annually (10+ users) | $13 Half Snap; $10 for subscribers | 4 hr; rush in as little as 30 min | 8.6 |
| Hover | Per project plus optional annual membership | Starter $0 (first 3 projects free); Pro $999/yr; Business $2,999/yr | $29 simple roof-only (Starter); $9 (Pro) | 12 hr Starter; 4 hr Pro and Business | 8.3 |
What 20 Residential Reports a Month Actually Costs
Here is the math at 20 roofs a month, using published prices only. These reports are not equal in depth: RoofSnap’s Half Snap is its basic measurement, and Hover requires photos taken on site.
| Setup | Math | Monthly Total |
|---|---|---|
| RoofSnap pay-as-you-go, Half Snap | 20 × $13 | $260 ✓ |
| RoofSnap monthly subscription (1 user), Half Snap | $105 + (20 × $10) | $305 |
| EagleView Bid Perfect | 20 × $18 | $360 |
| Roofr Measure+ (6-hour, billed monthly) | $109 + (20 × $13) | $369 |
| Roofr Starter (free plan) | 20 × $19 | $380 |
| GAF QuickMeasure (non-certified) | 20 × $20 | $400 |
| Hover Pro, average roof-only | ($999 ÷ 12 = $83.25) + (20 × $29) | $663.25 |
| EagleView Premium, medium roof (Bronze) | 20 × $60 | $1,200 |
The takeaway: Roofr’s Measure+ saves $6 per report over Starter, so it breaks even at about 19 reports a month ($109 ÷ $6 = 18.2). Below that, stay on the free plan unless you need guaranteed delivery. Want to see how report spend hits your margins? Run it through our true margin calculator.
1. Roofr: Best All-in-One Roof Measurement and Sales Platform
Roofr
Measurement to signed proposal in one platform
Roofr wins because the report is the start of the job, not the end. Starter is $0 with no time limit and unlimited users. Reports cost $19 with delivery estimated at 24 hours. Measure+ ($109/mo for 6-hour or $169/mo for 2-hour guaranteed delivery) drops reports to $13 and adds waste factor, material calculations and company logo and branding.
Essentials ($249/mo, or $209/mo billed annually) adds unlimited proposals, e-signatures, card and ACH payments, and 2-hour reports. Scale ($349/mo, $299 annually) adds seven job boards for your CRM job pipeline, job costing and the QuickBooks integration.
The October 2025 Roofr Builds release, covered by Roofing Contractor Magazine, added Roofr Inbox with Gmail sync, PDF signing with insurance fields that auto-fill proposal details, and a Job Reports dashboard. As of April 2026, a direct Verisk integration drops ESX files into your dashboard ready for Xactimate. Supplier ordering through ABC Supply, QXO and SRS works on every plan, including free. Roofr raised a Series B led by TCV with ABC Supply participating in January 2025.
Users report flashing amounts on reports are often wrong, and one reviewer says Roofr can’t measure pitch about once a month. Others wish they could type in their own measurements to use proposals.
Pros
- $0 Starter plan with unlimited users and no time limit
- Unlimited proposals built from the report on Essentials and up (Starter includes 10 trial proposals)
- ABC Supply, QXO and SRS material ordering integration on every plan
- ESX files for Xactimate at $12 (Starter) or $10 (Measure+)
Cons
- Starter’s 2-hour rush adds $30, making a $49 report
- QuickBooks integration is Scale-only, labeled beta, one-way export to QuickBooks Online (US), no Desktop
- No App Store app; the progressive web app needs a connection, with no true offline mode
- Can’t import other vendors’ reports; users report wrong flashing amounts
2. GAF QuickMeasure: Best Pay-Per-Report Pricing for Occasional Use
GAF QuickMeasure
Low-cost aerial measurements from roofing manufacturer GAF
QuickMeasure is a report service, not a platform. No subscription, no seats. Single-family reports are $18 for GAF Master Elite contractors and $20 for everyone else, delivered in 1 hour or less. Multi-family is $54 or $60 per building in 24 hours or less. You don’t need GAF certification to order, and you can pay with GAF Rewards points.
Every report includes a bill of materials, PDF, XML and DXF files, and an interactive 3D rendering with edit access. That rendering doubles as a 3D visualizer for showing homeowners shingle colors. A $10 add-on brings local building codes plus up to 10 years of hail and wind history.
GAF says measurements are “generally about 95% accurate” and replaces a report that falls short if you contact them within 30 days. Miss the delivery window and notify GAF within 24 hours, and you get a credit for a like report.
Channel note: you can order inside ABC Supply, QXO, SRS, AccuLynx, ServiceTitan and Leap. QXO closed its acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply in April 2025, so Beacon customers ordering QuickMeasure now buy through a QXO company. The latest Android update landed November 2025, yet Android users report an unclickable menu bar and a persistent error that survives reinstalling. We cover the fine print in our QuickMeasure pricing breakdown.
Pros
- 1-hour single-family delivery, with a credit if it runs late
- Published 95% accuracy threshold with free replacement
- Bill of materials and editable 3D rendering included
- Orderable inside major distributor and CRM platforms
Cons
- Not free: $20 per report unless you’re Master Elite
- No ESX file in the included formats; no proposals or CRM
- Not listed as orderable inside Roofr or JobNimbus
- Android users report an unclickable menu and app-breaking errors
3. EagleView: Best Aerial Roof Measurement Software for Insurance and Claims Work
EagleView
Tiered aerial measurement reports with a public rate card
Forget the old “call for pricing” reputation. EagleView prints a rate card. Bronze is pay-as-you-go: Premium reports run $32.75 (small, 20 squares), $60 (medium, 40 squares) and $87 (large). Silver and Gold unlock through volume, prepaying, or ordering via a distributor or integration partner; Gold drops medium to $49. Platinum is quote-based.
The smart play is Bid Perfect, $18 at Bronze, Silver and Gold: roofing squares, facet count, top four pitches and a steep-slope waste factor. Win the job, then upgrade to Premium for the pitch diagram and per-facet dimensions. Our EagleView pricing guide walks through every tier.
EagleView One launched in June 2025, per DroneLife, combining imagery and 3D roof modeling in one subscription. A pitch editor with Xactimate integration followed in August 2025, drone-based roof inspection upgrades to EagleView Assess in September 2025, and imagery in the Esri Content Store in October 2025. Integrations include AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Jobber, Leap, ABC Supply and Estimating Edge.
EagleView is owned by Vista Equity Partners and Clearlake, and settled its litigation with Nearmap in May 2026. We found no substantive user complaint text, so check current reviews before you assume it’s flawless.
Pros
- $18 Bid Perfect at Bronze, Silver and Gold, upgradeable after you win
- Commercial, walls, gutter and Full House reports on one rate card
- Pitch editor tied into Xactimate for claims work
- iOS and Android apps plus a public API
Cons
- Premium medium report is $60 at pay-as-you-go Bronze rates
- No turnaround time published anywhere on its pricing or product pages
- No accuracy guarantee published for Premium reports
- EagleView One and Platinum pricing are quote-based
4. RoofSnap: Budget-Friendly DIY Measurement for Small Roofing Teams
RoofSnap
Hands-on aerial measurements on a budget
RoofSnap gives you two ways to measure. Its DIY sketch tool lets you draw the roof yourself on satellite or HD imagery, unlimited on subscription with 5 HD images a month. Or order a report: Half Snap is $13 pay-as-you-go ($10 for subscribers), Full Snap runs $35 to $55 ($11 to $37 for subscribers), delivered in 4 hours with rush in as little as 30 minutes. Your first order is free.
Subscriptions are per user: $105/mo billed monthly, or billed annually at $78 (2 to 4 users), $61 (5 to 9) or $52 (10+). Annual plans add 240 bonus HD images per user. The 7-day trial needs no credit card.
The subscription includes an instant estimate tool (five good-better-best estimates in under 10 seconds), Stripe payments from 2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction, and Acorn Finance. RoofSnap belongs to EverCommerce’s EverPro group, and the RemodelerGo companion app enabled RoofSnap on all platforms in December 2025.
One reviewer reports item quantities randomly jumping to 25. Another switcher called RoofSnap significantly cheaper with the same core benefits.
Pros
- $13 Half Snap is the lowest pay-as-you-go report price in this roundup
- Unlimited DIY measurement on subscription
- Native iPhone, iPad and Android apps
- 7-day trial with no credit card, plus a free first order
Cons
- Per-user pricing: a 3-person team pays $78 each billed annually
- Integrations page names only MarketSharp and AccuLynx; no QuickBooks or Xactimate listed
- Monthly plan includes only 5 HD images
- Users report quantities randomly resetting to 25
5. Hover: Best for 3D Design Visualization and Material Takeoffs
Hover
3D property models from smartphone photos
Hover is the odd one out. It doesn’t sell measurements from aerial or satellite imagery. Someone stands at the property with the app and shoots at least 8 photos, and Hover builds a 3D model. You can also send the homeowner an “invite to scan” link.
Pricing is by facet count. Roof-only scans cost $29, $49 or $69 on Starter (simple, average, complex) and $9, $29 or $49 on Pro. Full exterior runs $59 to $139 on Starter. Pro is $999 a year only, with no monthly option. The Business plan ($2,999/yr) charges a $39 flat roof-only rate regardless of complexity. Our Hover pricing breakdown runs the full table.
Hover Interiors and Virtual Walkthrough shipped in Hover’s Spring 2025 launch, and Hardie Designer with James Hardie arrived in April 2025. The connected platform for measuring, designing and estimating launched January 2026. Hover’s last disclosed round was a $60 million Series D in 2020.
Users report they can’t save work in the phone app (only on a PC or iPad), photo save problems, thin color libraries in the design tool, and missing product assortment in Canada.
Pros
- Roof, siding, gutters and windows from one scan
- ESX export on every plan, including Starter
- Unlimited users on all plans; first 3 projects free
- Direct ordering with ABC, SRS and QXO on Pro and up
Cons
- Requires a site visit with the app; no aerial-only reports
- Starter has a 12-hour typical turnaround and no estimates
- No QuickBooks integration listed; Hover credits expire after 12 months
- Users report they can’t save work on phones, only on a PC or iPad
Roof Measurement Accuracy: Vendor Claims vs What Contractors Actually Report
Most roundups repeat accuracy percentages and move on. Here is what is actually published:
- EagleView: cites 98.77% accuracy from a 2025 LiDAR benchmark it commissioned from CompassData, which measured roof lines on Denver-area homes (roof area tested 98.43%, slope 98.49%). No accuracy guarantee is published for Premium reports.
- GAF QuickMeasure: “generally about 95% accurate,” with a free replacement if you prove otherwise within 30 days.
- Roofr, RoofSnap, Hover: promise “accurate” measurements on their pricing pages but print no accuracy percentage.
Real-world reports cut against the marketing. Roofr users flag flashing errors, including step and wall flashing misapplied to chimneys, and occasional pitch failures. GAF’s own blog admits some contractors scoff at a 95% rate and trust their hand measurements more.
Keep in mind that 95% leaves room for real error on a big roof. No independent, controlled test compares all five tools under the same conditions. Our advice: spot-check the first several reports from any new tool against your own measurements, especially flashing and pitch, before you bid off them. NRCA training resources are a good refresher if your newer reps have never measured a roof by hand.
Roof Measurement App vs DIY Measuring vs Google Earth
A free map view gives you a top-down picture of the footprint. A measurement report gives you numbers. Roofr’s report lists total squares, pitch and every edge: hips, valleys, ridges and flashing. EagleView Premium adds a pitch diagram and per-facet dimensions. Pitch changes true roof area, and a flat overhead picture doesn’t hand you pitch.
Can you measure from your phone? Yes. Hover captures roofs and interiors with phone photos. RoofSnap’s DIY tool works in its iPhone and Android apps. GAF QuickMeasure and EagleView offer iOS and Android ordering apps. Roofr runs as a progressive web app you add to your home screen.
For homeowners: these tools are built for contractor accounts, not casual self-measurement. The cheapest entry points are Roofr’s free Starter plan (reports still cost $19), Hover’s first three free projects, and RoofSnap’s free first order and 7-day trial. GAF and EagleView charge from the first report.
Do These Roof Measurement Apps Work for Commercial and Multi-Family Roofs?
Two vendors clearly price for it. EagleView lists commercial Premium reports at $89.50 (Bronze) to $79 (Gold), commercial Bid Perfect at $49 flat, and commercial walls at $221.25. GAF QuickMeasure charges $54 or $60 per multi-family building with 24-hour delivery and keeps commercial pricing in a separate section.
The others lean residential. Roofr’s report pricing excludes multi-family reports. RoofSnap’s Full Snap tops out at “Large Residential” over 80 squares. Hover prices by residential facet counts and home size descriptions. If you run mostly low-slope commercial work, confirm scope with the vendor before you commit.
Which Roof Report App Should You Choose?
Pick by how you sell, not by the lowest sticker price:
- Sales-heavy residential crews wanting proposals and a CRM: Roofr.
- Occasional one-off orders, or you buy through ABC Supply, SRS or QXO: GAF QuickMeasure.
- Insurance restoration and claims work: EagleView.
- Tight budget and a rep willing to sketch: RoofSnap.
- Siding and exterior remodelers who sell design: Hover.
Volume decides the model, and the break-even point differs by vendor: Roofr’s Measure+ pays off at about 19 reports a month, Hover says Pro pays for itself at about 4 projects a month, and RoofSnap’s $3 subscriber discount on a Half Snap needs about 35 reports to cover the $105 monthly fee. Not sure? Our software match tool narrows it down in a couple of minutes.
| Feature | Roofr | GAF QuickMeasure | EagleView | RoofSnap | Hover |

| RSG Score | 9.3 RSG Gold ✓ | 9.1 RSG Gold | 9.0 RSG Gold | 8.6 RSG Silver | 8.3 RSG Silver |
| Measurement source | Aerial reports plus DIY images | Aerial reports | Aerial reports | Aerial reports plus DIY sketch | On-site phone photos |
| Proposals built in | Yes (Essentials and up) ✓ | No | No | Yes (subscription) | Yes (Pro and up) |
| Xactimate ESX | $10 to $12 per file | Not in included formats | Xactimate integration via pitch editor | Not listed | Yes, all plans |

| Users | Unlimited | No seats | No seats for reports | Per user | Unlimited |

What Contractors Are Asking
“Is Roofr’s Measure+ worth it, or should I just pay $19 a report?”
Do the math on your volume. Measure+ at $109 a month saves $6 per report, so it breaks even at about 19 reports. Below that, stay on Starter unless you need guaranteed 6-hour delivery.
“Which of these gives me an ESX file for Xactimate?”
Roofr sells ESX files at $12 on Starter and $10 on Measure+, or a Report plus ESX bundle for $31 or $23. Hover exports ESX on every plan. GAF QuickMeasure’s included formats are PDF, XML and DXF, and RoofSnap lists no Xactimate integration.
“Do I have to be GAF certified to order QuickMeasure?”
No. Anyone can order. Master Elite contractors pay $18 per single-family report instead of $20, and GAF Rewards points can cover the cost.
“What about roofs buried under trees?”
Roofr’s DIY Reports let you draw from drone images, blueprints or uploaded photos, and it pitches them specifically for tree-covered roofs. Hover sidesteps the problem entirely because it builds the model from ground-level photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best roof measuring app for contractors?
Roofr, with an RSG Score of 9.3 (RSG Gold). It offers a $0 Starter plan, $13 reports on paid plans, unlimited users, and proposals built from the measurement. GAF QuickMeasure (9.1) is the best pick if you only want reports.
How accurate are roof measurement apps?
GAF says its reports are generally about 95% accurate and replaces ones that fall short within 30 days. EagleView cites 98.77% roof-line accuracy from a 2025 LiDAR benchmark it commissioned from CompassData, but publishes no guarantee for Premium reports. Roofr, RoofSnap and Hover print no accuracy percentage, so spot-check early reports yourself.
How much does a roof measurement report cost?
Published residential roof report prices start at $13 pay-as-you-go (RoofSnap Half Snap) and $18 to $20 (GAF, EagleView Bid Perfect), and run up to $87 for an EagleView Premium large roof at Bronze rates. Plans lower the per-report price: $13 on Roofr’s paid plans, $10 for RoofSnap subscribers and from $9 on Hover Pro. Hover roof-only scans cost $29 to $69 on Starter.
Can I measure my roof from my phone?
Yes. Hover builds a 3D model from at least 8 phone photos, and RoofSnap’s draw-it-yourself tool runs in its iPhone and Android apps. GAF QuickMeasure and EagleView also offer iOS and Android apps for ordering reports.
What is the difference between EagleView and Roofr?
EagleView is a premium report provider with tiered pricing, commercial reports and deep insurance integrations like its Xactimate-linked pitch editor. Roofr is an all-in-one sales platform: cheaper reports ($13 to $19) plus proposals, payments and a CRM with unlimited users.
Do roof measurement apps work for commercial roofs?
EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure price commercial and multi-family work directly. EagleView’s commercial Premium runs $79 to $89.50, and GAF charges $54 or $60 per multi-family building. Roofr, RoofSnap and Hover are residential-first, so confirm scope before buying.
How is a roof measurement app different from Google Earth?
A map view shows you the footprint from above. A measurement report hands you roofing squares, pitch, facets, edges and a waste factor you can bid from. Pitch changes true roof area, and a top-down picture doesn’t give it to you.
Is there a free roof measurement app?
Not fully. Roofr’s Starter plan is $0 but reports cost $19 each, Hover gives you your first 3 projects free, and RoofSnap offers a 7-day trial plus a free first order. GAF QuickMeasure and EagleView charge from the first report.
Spot a price change or a feature we missed? Tell us and we’ll re-verify it.
RSG Verdict
If you’re a residential crew that measures and sells, get Roofr: start free, move to Measure+ or Essentials once you pass about 19 reports a month. If you only need reports, get GAF QuickMeasure. If insurance work pays your bills, get EagleView and start with $18 Bid Perfect.
