Roof measurement software compared — $7 to $24 per report in 2026

A roofing contractor's most-asked software question isn't "which CRM?" It's "what's the cheapest way to get an accurate roof measurement report?" The answer changes depending on volume, accuracy needs, and whether you also need a proposal at the end of it.

We compared the six platforms in our top 8 that produce roof measurement reports. All prices and turnaround times are pulled directly from each vendor's published pricing page.

The price-per-report table

Product	Price per report	Turnaround	Includes proposal?	Best for
Artemis	$7.13 / design	10 seconds	Yes (AI-generated)	Solo + mid-size shops on retail
Roofr Starter	$19 / report	24 hours	Yes (full proposal builder)	Solo budget shops
iRoofing	$10 / perimeter	"Instant" (DIY tablet)	Light proposal	Tablet-first in-home reps
GAF QuickMeasure	$18 / report	1 hour	No	Cheap accurate measurement only
EagleView Bid Perfect	$18 / report	10 hours typical	No	Insurance-restoration shops
Hover	$25 / job	8 hours std / 1 hour expedited	Light + 3D visualization	In-home sales presentation

The cheapest reliable option isn't always who you think. Let's break each down.

Cheapest per-report: Artemis at $7.13

Counterintuitively, the lowest per-report price in our comparison comes from the platform that does the most with the report. Artemis prices per AI-generated design rather than per measurement, and "every feature is included at every tier" per their pricing page — financing integrations, e-signed contracts, CRM, mobile app, all bundled.

The trade-off is the pricing model, not the per-unit cost. Per-design subscription means you commit to a monthly volume tier (the $7.13 figure is on the 100-design/month plan). If your volume is unpredictable or you're a low-volume solo, the per-report pay-as-you-go options below may bill less per month overall.

Best PAYG measurement-only: GAF QuickMeasure at $18/report

If you want measurement and only measurement, with no subscription, no minimum, no annual contract — GAF QuickMeasure is the cheapest credible option. $18/report (single-family), under 1 hour turnaround, 95% stated accuracy.

The catch: no ESX export to Xactimate. If you're doing insurance work, this is a hard dealbreaker. If you're retail-only, it doesn't matter.

QuickMeasure is also a GAF-branded wrapper around a third-party measurement engine (launched June 2021). Quality and coverage are real, but it's not GAF's core technology — it's a service they distribute.

Best for accuracy + insurance: EagleView at $18–$24/report

EagleView is the gold-standard aerial measurement service that every other measurement tool is positioned against. Bid Perfect™ at $18/report for lightweight needs, Premium Roof Reports at $24.25 for full residential workflow.

The reasons restoration shops pay the premium:

• ESX export to Xactimate — the format insurance adjusters expect
• 25+ years of verified property intelligence with deeper historical imagery
• Hail and wind storm-event history reports for chasing storms

EagleView's advertised turnaround is 48 hours but Capterra reviewers consistently report ~10 hours typical. The June 2025 launch of EagleView One (subscription-based 3D model that replaces static PDFs) is shifting the pricing model — if you're evaluating now, get pricing on both per-report and EagleView One subscription before deciding.

Compare EagleView to GAF QuickMeasure head-to-head — the two most direct measurement-only competitors.

Best for in-home selling: Hover at $25/job

Hover turns smartphone photos of a property into a fully measured 3D model, then lets you visualize real shingle/siding products on the actual house. For a contractor selling at the kitchen table with an iPad, the visual sales tool justifies the per-job cost on a single closed deal.

Two structural caveats:

1. Someone has to be on-site to capture photos. Fine for in-home sales workflow, bad for office bulk-quote workflow during storm season.
2. Per-job pricing complexity-tiered: $25/job applies to typical roofs; complex roofs (9+ facets) may price higher. Get a sample on a typical property before committing.

Hover's February 2025 Xactimate integration expansion now lets the 3D data auto-generate ESX-compatible line items, which makes it more viable for insurance work than it used to be.

Best free entry point: Roofr Starter

Roofr is the only platform in our top 8 with a permanent free tier. The Starter plan includes 3 seats, $19/report pay-as-you-go measurements, and full access to the proposal builder + Kanban pipeline. Reports take 24 hours on Starter, 2 hours on the paid Essentials tier ($209/mo annual).

If you're sending fewer than ~10 quotes per month, this is the cheapest serious option in the category, period. The trade-offs are measurement accuracy edge cases (reviewers cite occasional issues with flashing quantities and roof pitch on complex roofs) and the 24-hour Starter turnaround vs. the 1-hour QuickMeasure.

Cheapest DIY: iRoofing at $10/perimeter

iRoofing is tablet-first by design — the contractor traces the roof manually on satellite imagery in the app, in "minutes" per the vendor. Per-perimeter pricing of $10 is the lowest in this comparison, but only applies to the DIY workflow.

The bundled tablet-app subscription is $149/mo flat for 3 users, which covers unlimited DIY measurements plus the AI shingle visualizer. The flat-rate model is rare in this category and well-suited to a small shop doing 20+ properties a month from an iPad in the truck.

Phone and desktop versions trail the tablet experience, which is a real constraint if your reps don't carry an iPad.

The one-decision framework

Match the platform to the dominant workflow:

Your workflow	Best fit
Solo retail, low volume, want $0 to start	Roofr Starter
Solo retail, want speed-of-quote competitive edge	Artemis
Mid-size retail, sell at the kitchen table	Hover
Tablet-first in-home sales, want flat-rate	iRoofing
Cheap measurement-only, no insurance work	GAF QuickMeasure
Insurance restoration, ESX export required	EagleView
High-volume mixed retail + insurance	EagleView (insurance) + Artemis (retail)
