EagleView vs Hover vs RoofSnap: 2026 Roof Measurement Tools Compared

EagleView vs Hover vs RoofSnap comes down to how the roof gets captured and what each report costs: EagleView traces plane imagery from $18 (Bid Perfect) to $87 (Premium, 40+ squares, Bronze tier), Hover builds a 3D model from phone photos for $9 to $69 per roof-only project, and RoofSnap lets you draw the roof yourself on a $52 to $105 per user monthly subscription or order reports from $13. All prices below were read from each vendor’s own pricing page in October 2026.

The Short Answer: 3 Tools, 3 Operator Profiles

Pick EagleView if you bid without a site visit, do complex or commercial roofs, or need wall reports for siding bids from aerial imagery. Pick Hover if a rep or homeowner is on site anyway and you want the 3D model and exterior quantities in one $59 to $139 order. Pick RoofSnap if you run 1 to 4 users, can sketch simple low-slope and gable roofs yourself, and want estimating in the same $105 per user monthly app.

If your situation is	Choose	Why, with the published number
Fewer than 50 measured jobs a year, no CRM	RoofSnap pay-as-you-go or Hover Starter	RoofSnap Half Snap $13; Hover’s first 3 projects free, then $29 to $69 roof-only
50 or more Hover projects a year	Hover Pro	$999 a year buys $20 off every project, so it pays back at 50 projects
50 or more complex (9+ facet) full-exterior Hover jobs a year	Hover Business	$79 flat versus $119 on Pro saves $40 a job, covering the extra $2,000 a year at 50 jobs
Quoting from the office before anyone visits	EagleView Bid Perfect, then upgrade	$18 per residential report; integration partners let you upgrade to Premium for the price difference
Siding bid with no site visit	EagleView Walls or Full House	Walls $40; Walls, Windows and Doors $67.50 to $78; Full House $91 to $105

How These Tools Work

These roof measuring tools use three capture methods, and the method sets where each one struggles.

EagleView measures from oblique and top-down aerial imagery and returns squares, pitch by facet and lengths for ridges, hips, valleys, rakes and eaves. Report sizes on its price sheet are Small (20 squares), Medium (40 squares) and Large (40+ squares), plus Commercial, so a 28-square house falls in the Medium band at $49 to $60.

Hover turns ground-level smartphone photos into a 3D model, then measures the roof and, on full exterior orders, siding, openings and gutters. Its price depends on facet count: Simple (up to 4 facets), Average (5 to 8) and Complex (9+), from $29 to $69 roof-only on Starter. Trees or neighboring buildings that block the photo angles are the main failure point because the model can only measure what the camera saw.

RoofSnap has two modes: draw-it-yourself on HD imagery (5 HD images a month on the monthly plan, plus 240 bonus images per user a year on annual) or an ordered report that RoofSnap staff measure, priced as a Half Snap ($10 to $13) or Full Snap ($11 to $55).

EagleView (Premium Accuracy, Premium Price)

EagleView’s case rests on the June 4, 2025 CompassData study, run in April and May 2025 on single-family homes in the Denver metro with drone and terrestrial LiDAR: 98.77 percent on roof lines, 98.43 percent on roof area and 98.49 percent on slope, per EagleView’s release. EagleView contracted CompassData for the work, so treat it as a vendor-commissioned benchmark.

Strengths. No site visit needed, which suits storm canvassing and office quoting. Commercial reports ($79 to $89.50) and commercial wall reports ($221.25) that Hover and RoofSnap do not sell. The AccuLynx integration populates the estimate from the report without a file import, per AccuLynx’s integrations page.

Weaknesses. Highest Premium price of the three on large roofs ($75.50 to $87 for 40+ squares). Regular delivery is 2 business days and Express is 1 business day, per Jobber’s EagleView integration guide, so a same-day quote needs the paid 3-hour option. No photo documentation of the kind Hover produces.

Pricing. EagleView’s pricing page publishes four tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold are listed, and Platinum is “call for pricing.” Silver, Gold and Platinum require a prepaid monthly or yearly amount, or purchase through an integration partner or distributor.

EagleView report (residential unless noted)	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Premium, Small (20 sq)	$32.75	$27.50	$24.25
Premium, Medium (40 sq)	$60	$54.75	$49
Premium, Large (40+ sq)	$87	$81.25	$75.50
Premium, Commercial	$89.50	$84.25	$79
Bid Perfect	$18	$18	$18
Gutter	$13.75	$13.75	$13.75
Walls, Windows and Doors	$78	$72.25	$67.50
Full House (roof plus walls)	$105	$98	$91

Hover (Photo-Based, Growing Accuracy)

Hover measures from photos taken on site, so it pairs with an inspection rather than replacing one. Its full exterior order ($59 to $139 on Starter) returns roof, siding by material, openings and gutters in one PDF, which is the reason siding and window contractors use it.

Strengths. Walls, windows and doors from the same capture as the roof. The widest CRM list of the three: AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Leap CRM, Leap SalesPro, ServiceTitan, JobTread, Zuper, CompanyCam, SumoQuote and Salesforce, plus Xactimate and XactAnalysis, per Hover’s integrations page.

Weaknesses. Needs a person at the house with a phone, so it cannot quote a lead before the appointment. No published accuracy benchmark comparable to the CompassData study. Expedited delivery is an extra $39 per project on Starter or $19 on Pro and Business.

Pricing. Hover’s pricing page (October 2026) lists Starter (pay per project, first 3 projects free), Pro ($999 a year, $20 off every project) and Business ($2,999 a year, one flat rate per project type).

Hover order	Starter	Pro	Business
Roof only, Simple (up to 4 facets)	$29	$9	$39
Roof only, Average (5 to 8 facets)	$49	$29	$39
Roof only, Complex (9+ facets)	$69	$49	$39
Full exterior, Simple	$59	$39	$79
Full exterior, Average	$99	$79	$79
Full exterior, Complex	$139	$119	$79

RoofSnap (DIY Measurement + Estimating)

RoofSnap, owned by EverCommerce since July 1, 2020, combines a draw-it-yourself measuring tool, an ordering service and an estimate builder in one $105 per user monthly app, so a solo operator can measure and quote without a separate CRM.

Strengths. Unlimited draw-it-yourself measurements on any subscription. Ordered reports arrive in 4 hours, with rush in as little as 30 minutes, per RoofSnap’s pricing page. Syncs measurements and photos to AccuLynx, and reports ordered inside MarketSharp cost a flat $30, per RoofSnap’s integrations page.

Weaknesses. A sketched roof is only as accurate as the rep who draws it, and RoofSnap publishes no accuracy benchmark. No wall, window or door measurements. JobNimbus and Roofr are not on RoofSnap’s integrations page, so those shops attach the PDF by hand.

Pricing. Monthly plan $105 per user. Annual plan $78 per user per month for 2 to 4 users, $61 for 5 to 9 and $52 for 10 or more. Half Snap $13 pay-as-you-go or $10 for subscribers; Full Snap $35 to $55 or $11 to $37; gutter measurements $15 or $11; lighting $18 or $15.

Siding and Exterior Measurements: Which Tool Covers Walls?

Hover and EagleView both measure siding and the rest of the exterior; RoofSnap does not. Hover’s full exterior report, built from smartphone photos, breaks out siding by material, wall openings such as windows and doors, and gutters. EagleView sells aerial wall reports for siding bids, up to a Full House report that combines roof, walls, windows, and doors. RoofSnap’s published report menu covers roofs, gutters, and lighting only.

Tool	Siding and wall output	Windows and doors	Published pricing
EagleView	Walls Report for siding bids; Walls, Windows and Doors Report with siding, masonry, and fascia measurements; Full House report adds the roof	Included in the Walls, Windows and Doors and Full House reports	Walls $40; Walls, Windows and Doors $67.50 to $78; Full House $91 to $105, per EagleView’s walls product page and pricing page
Hover	Full exterior (roof plus walls) PDF with a siding summary, elevations diagram, and facade broken out by siding material, brick, and wrap	Openings measured, including doors, sliding glass doors, and windows	$59 to $139 on Starter, $39 to $119 on Pro, $79 flat on Business (Hover measurement PDF guide)
RoofSnap	None listed	None listed	Roof, gutter, and lighting measurements only; gutter measurements $15 pay-as-you-go or $11 for subscribers, per RoofSnap’s pricing page

For a siding quantity takeoff, Hover’s photos face the walls directly, and Hover markets its siding output as material-level data that aerial tools cannot detect. Treat that as a vendor claim, not a benchmark. EagleView’s $40 Walls report suits a remote siding bid with no site visit. Gutters ride along in Hover’s exterior report, EagleView’s $13.75 gutter report and RoofSnap’s $11 to $15 add-on; for quoting that work, see our guide to gutter bidding software.

Windows and doors versus a tape measure. Neither Hover’s window and door page nor its measurement PDF guide publishes an accuracy figure for openings. Use the report for bid quantities and window counts, then field-measure each opening before you order made-to-measure units.

Accuracy: What the Vendors Publish

Only EagleView publishes a LiDAR comparison: 98.77 percent on roof lines, 98.43 percent on area and 98.49 percent on slope, with an average linear difference of 0.2 feet (2.4 inches), from the CompassData study EagleView commissioned. We found no comparable public benchmark for Hover or RoofSnap. Sources are listed in our 2026 aerial roof measurement software report.

A 1.57 percent area error, the gap implied by EagleView’s 98.43 percent figure, is about 0.44 squares on a 28-square roof. At the $5 to $8 per sq ft installed range in our 2026 roofing cost report, that is roughly $220 to $350 of installed value. Mansards, roofs over 9 facets, heavy tree cover and low-slope sections are where to ask for a checked report or verify on site.

Speed: Time to Report

Tool	Standard Turnaround	Express Option	Source
EagleView Premium	Regular, 2 business days	Express 1 business day; 3-hour delivery	Jobber EagleView integration guide
EagleView Bid Perfect	Quick Delivery option	Upgrade to Premium for the difference	Jobber EagleView integration guide
Hover	Starts when photos are uploaded	Expedited: $39 Starter, $19 Pro and Business	Hover pricing page

RoofSnap draw-it-yourself	As fast as the rep sketches	N/A	RoofSnap pricing page
Roofr (comparison)	24 hours or less on free Starter	2 hours on Essentials and Scale; 2 or 6 hours on Measure+	Roofr pricing page

For a same-day quote, RoofSnap’s 4-hour standard and Roofr’s 2-hour guarantee are the only options without a rush fee; EagleView’s 3-hour delivery and Hover’s expedited delivery cost extra.

Pricing Per Report

Tool	Published Per-Report Price	Plan Notes	Source
EagleView	$24.25 to $87 Premium residential; $18 Bid Perfect	Silver and Gold need prepayment or a partner; Platinum by quote	eagleview.com/pricing
Hover	$9 to $69 roof only; $39 to $139 full exterior	Pro $999 a year; Business $2,999 a year	hover.to/pricing
RoofSnap	$10 to $37 subscriber; $13 to $55 pay-as-you-go	Subscriptions $52 to $105 per user per month	roofsnap.com/pricing
Roofr (for comparison)	$13 on paid plans; $19 on free Starter	Measure+ $109 to $169, Essentials $249, Scale $349 per month	roofr.com/pricing

Worked example at 300 average-home roof reports a year (25 a month): EagleView Premium Medium is $18,000 at Bronze ($60) or $14,700 at Gold ($49). Hover roof-only Average is $14,700 on Starter ($49), $9,699 on Pro ($29 plus $999) or $14,699 on Business ($39 plus $2,999). Roofr is $3,900 in reports ($13) plus $2,988 for a year of Essentials at $249 a month, or $6,888. Run your own volume and tier through each vendor’s quote before you sign.

Integration with AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Roofr

CRM	EagleView Integration	Hover Integration	RoofSnap Integration
AccuLynx	Order from desktop or mobile; measurements populate the estimate	Links job records; measurements apply to estimates	Syncs measurements and photos
JobNimbus	Listed on EagleView’s partner page	Listed on Hover’s integrations page	Not listed; attach the PDF

Sources: AccuLynx’s integrations page, EagleView’s partner directory, Hover’s integrations page and RoofSnap’s integrations page, all checked October 2026. EagleView’s directory pages through more partners than its first screen shows, so ask your CRM vendor before assuming a gap.

When to Pay for EagleView vs Use Hover vs Use RoofSnap

Pay for EagleView when: you quote before a site visit, more than a handful of your roofs are over 40 squares or commercial ($79 to $89.50 per commercial Premium), or you need the vendor-commissioned 98.77 percent LiDAR comparison to show a customer or adjuster.

Use Hover when: a rep is on site for every job, you sell siding, windows or gutters with the roof, and you run 50 or more projects a year so Pro’s $999 fee pays back through $20 off each one.

Use RoofSnap when: you have 1 to 4 users, mostly simple residential roofs, and want the measuring and estimating in one app at $78 to $105 per user a month with unlimited sketches.

Use Roofr’s native measurement when: Roofr is already your CRM, since its reports cost $13 on any paid plan and arrive in 2 hours on Essentials ($249 a month) and Scale ($349).

The Hidden Cost of Measurement Choice

The first hidden cost is rep time. EagleView’s Regular delivery takes 2 business days and RoofSnap’s ordered report takes 4 hours, so multiply the hours a rep waits by your loaded hourly rep cost and your annual report count.

The second is close rate. As an illustration only, if a same-day quote lifted close rate by 2 points on a $3M shop, that would be about $60,000 a year in revenue; measure your own close rate before and after a switch rather than assuming it.

The third is material error. At $5 to $8 per sq ft installed, each 1 percent of area error on a 2,800 sq ft (28-square) roof is 28 sq ft, or $140 to $224 of installed value; across 200 jobs a year that is $28,000 to $44,800 of exposure per percentage point.

What Operators Get Wrong About Roof Measurements

Mistake one: paying the Bronze rate. The gap between EagleView Bronze and Gold is $11 per Premium Medium report ($60 versus $49), or $3,300 a year at 300 reports.

Mistake two: ignoring the integration. If your CRM is JobNimbus, RoofSnap reports ($10 to $55 each) have to be attached by hand, while EagleView and Hover both list a JobNimbus integration.

Mistake three: buying Hover Business for roof-only work. Business charges $39 for every roof-only project, more than Pro’s $9 and $29 on Simple and Average roofs; it only wins on complex full exteriors ($79 versus $119).

Mistake four: one vendor for every job. A $13 Roofr or $10 RoofSnap Half Snap on a simple gable and a $49 to $87 EagleView Premium on a 40-square cut-up roof can cost less than one tier for everything.

Where Each Falls Short

EagleView falls short on: price at Bronze ($87 for a 40+ square Premium) and speed without paying for the 3-hour option.

Hover falls short on: remote quoting, since someone must photograph the house, and on a published accuracy figure.

RoofSnap falls short on: integrations beyond AccuLynx and MarketSharp, walls and openings, and a published accuracy figure.

How the Three Tools Stack Against Roofr Native Measurement

Roofr sells its own roof reports at $13 on Measure+, Essentials and Scale and $19 on the free Starter plan, plus ESX files at $10 to $12 per report, per its pricing page. That undercuts EagleView’s $24.25 Gold Premium Small and Hover’s $29 Pro Average roof-only price.

Roofr publishes no LiDAR benchmark, so check a few of its $13 reports against roofs you have already measured before relying on it for 9+ facet roofs. For shops not on Roofr, the choice stays among EagleView, Hover and RoofSnap. For the CRM side of that decision, see our AccuLynx vs JobNimbus vs Roofr comparison.

Volume Discounts and Subscription Math

At 50 reports a month (600 a year), EagleView Premium Medium costs $36,000 at Bronze or $29,400 at Gold, while Hover Pro roof-only Average costs $18,399 ($29 times 600 plus $999). Roofr comes to $7,800 in reports plus $2,988 to $4,188 a year on Essentials or Scale.

RoofSnap at the same volume depends on how many roofs your reps sketch: a 10-user annual plan is $6,240 a year ($52 times 10 times 12), and any ordered Full Snaps add $11 to $37 each.
