Artemis vs Hover
Two platforms a roofing contractor might evaluate side-by-side. Here's how they compare on time to roof report, included features, pricing, and customer-grounded pros and cons.
Artemis
The most accurate roof reports, generated in under 7 seconds — 82% more reliable than hand-measured.
- Time to report
- Under 7 seconds
- Starts at
- $7.13/design
- Best for
- Energy + roofing contractors who design and quote enough volume to amortize a subscription and want every feature included at every tier
Hover
Measure, design, and estimate — all from smartphone photos turned into a 3D model.
- Time to report
- 8 hours
- Starts at
- $25/job
- Best for
- Mid-to-high-volume exterior contractors — full-exterior remodelers, retail roofing/siding shops, and restoration contractors who do enough on-site sales calls to justify per-project or subscription cost, especially when upselling premium materials
How they differ.
Hover requires someone on-site capturing photos before it can measure — a real workflow bottleneck for any office-driven sales motion. Artemis generates the design from satellite/AI in 5–15 seconds, no truck roll required, and ships a full proposal in the same step.

The scores.
Same fixed 5-axis rubric for every platform. Public weights, no vendor input.
What customers say.
- 82% more reliable than hand-measured roof takeoffs — the strongest published accuracy claim in this comparison
- AI-generated reports returned in under 7 seconds — the fastest documented design loop in this comparison
- Every feature included at every tier — no per-seat fees and no add-on creep
- Integrated financing with GoodLeap, IGS, Dividend, Sungage, and Sunlight built into the sales flow
- Pricing scales with design volume — a contractor sending many designs and closing few sees a less-favorable unit economic than a flat-fee tool
- Positioning leans more energy/solar than the rest of the field; pure-roofing shoppers may not find a perfect-fit page
- No published free trial — evaluation is demo-led
- Best-in-class visual fidelity of 3D property models — repeatedly cited as the most effective client-facing sales tool for premium-material upsell
- Full-exterior measurement (siding, windows, doors, gutters, trim), not just roof — real differentiator vs. roof-only satellite competitors
- Capterra 4.8/5 across 59 reviews — strongest review-aggregator score in the comparison set
- Deep distributor and insurance partnerships (SRS Distribution, RSG, Verisk Xactimate Feb 2025)
- Cost is the #1 negative across review platforms — per-project pricing called “very high for someone not planning to use the program often”
- Photo submission failures: app requires cellular for authentication, can fail silently — crews discover the failure after leaving the site
- Unverified sales-rep inputs — reps can edit roof pitches and door/window measurements without proof, leading to ordering errors
Score gap: 1.9 points.
On our 5-axis rubric, Artemis scores 9.4 to Hover's 7.5. The biggest single differentiator is time to roof report — Artemis at Under 7 seconds versus Hover at 8 hours.
