QuoteCore+ alternative
QuoteCore+ alternative for re-roofs that come without plans
QuoteCore+ is a roofing quote tool that takes off the roof from a plan you upload. RoofStruct measures the roof from satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo, so you can bid a re-roof from the address.
The short answer
- QuoteCore+ works from 2D plans and drawings you upload, and its own feature page says it does not pull satellite imagery or order aerial reports (QuoteCore+, Oct 2026).
- RoofStruct gives you free, unlimited self-serve measuring and PDF reports, no card, on satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo, in minutes.
- RoofStruct doesn't import PDF plan sets. If most of your jobs arrive with plans, QuoteCore+ fits that work.
- The two can sit side by side: QuoteCore+ says you can type in measurements from another source.
RoofStruct and QuoteCore+ side by side
We compared both tools from each company's own pages, checked October 2026. We did not run accuracy tests. RoofStruct makes one of these tools.
| RoofStruct | QuoteCore+ | |
|---|---|---|
| What you measure from | Satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo | Uploaded plans: PNG, JPG or multi-page PDF |
| PDF plan sets | Not imported | The main input |
| Satellite imagery | Built in | Not pulled, per its feature page |
| Assisted tracing | You trace the facets and label each edge | Roof Scan Assist suggests areas and lines to review |
| Pricing the job | Cost & Takeoff worksheet on every plan | Takeoff feeds its quote builder |
| Customer quotes | Good / Better / Best with e-signature on Pro | Quotes built from the takeoff |
| Material orders | Material Order Builder with Smart Waste on Pro | Material order from an accepted quote |
| How you pay | Free plan, or a Pro subscription | Monthly, configured by volume and add-ons |
| Try before you pay | Free plan, no card | Interactive demo and free browser tools; no trial |
How the two differ
The split is the input. QuoteCore+ is built for roofing first, and its takeoff starts from a plan: a PNG, a JPG or a page of a multi-page PDF. You trace it by hand, or let Roof Scan Assist pick out roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys and barges for you to review. Pitch, waste and material quantities flow into a priced quote, and an accepted quote can become a material order and an invoice (QuoteCore+ digital roof takeoff page, Oct 2026).
RoofStruct starts where there are no plans. Most re-roofs and repairs don't come with a plan set, so you open the address on satellite imagery or upload your own drone or phone photo, trace the facets, set the pitch per facet and label each edge. The PDF report and the Cost & Takeoff worksheet come from that measurement.
So the question is simple: do your jobs arrive with drawings, or with an address?
How each one prices, in words
QuoteCore+ doesn't use fixed tiers. Its pricing page has a builder that sets a monthly price from your expected job or quote volume and the add-ons you pick, such as Digital Takeoff and Roof Scan Assist. There's no full-app trial; you can take an interactive demo, book a tailored demo or use its free browser tools. A one-time Done For You Setup, sold separately, loads your materials, labor rates and pricing rules into the account (QuoteCore+ pricing page, Oct 2026).
RoofStruct's Free plan covers unlimited self-serve measuring, the full PDF with RoofStruct branding, the Cost & Takeoff worksheet and water-flow analysis. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that adds branded Good / Better / Best estimates with e-signature, the Material Order Builder with Smart Waste, CSV, XLSX, JSON and DXF exports, your logo and colors, and up to 5 team members.
Dated prices for both are in our roofing takeoff software comparison, linked below.
Where QuoteCore+ is the better pick
Pick QuoteCore+ when your work is plan-based: new construction, additions, or builders who send drawings. RoofStruct doesn't import PDF plan sets for scaled takeoff, and tracing a new build on satellite imagery doesn't work when the roof isn't there yet.
Pick QuoteCore+ if you want plan, quote, material order and invoice in one roofing workflow, or if you'd like someone to set up your pricing for you through its Done For You Setup.
Pick RoofStruct when your jobs start as an address and you want to measure without a plan, with the Cost & Takeoff worksheet free and estimates and material orders on Pro.
Using both, or switching
Shops that do both kinds of work can run both tools. QuoteCore+'s own feature page says you can type in measurements from another source, so a re-roof measured in RoofStruct can still be quoted in QuoteCore+ if that's where your pricing lives.
If you move re-roof bids to RoofStruct, run one roof you know by hand first and check the squares and edge lengths before you rely on any tool's total.

QuoteCore+ alternative: common questions
- Can RoofStruct do a roof takeoff from PDF plans?
- No. RoofStruct doesn't import PDF plan sets for scaled takeoff. It measures from satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo. For plan-based work, a plan tool such as QuoteCore+ fits better.
- Can QuoteCore+ measure a roof from satellite imagery?
- Its own feature page says the takeoff works from 2D plans and drawings and does not pull satellite imagery or order aerial reports. It also says you can type in measurements from another source (QuoteCore+, Oct 2026).
- Is there a free trial of either tool?
- QuoteCore+ lists no full-app trial; it offers an interactive demo, a tailored demo and free browser tools (QuoteCore+ pricing page, Oct 2026). RoofStruct has a Free plan with no end date and no card.
- Does RoofStruct price the job too?
- Yes. The Cost & Takeoff worksheet, on every plan, prices the measured quantities at your own rates. Pro adds branded Good / Better / Best estimates with e-signature and the Material Order Builder with Smart Waste.
- What if I don't want to measure the roof myself?
- Order a done-for-you report. A technician measures the roof, a second one checks it, and it's usually delivered within 4 hours (turnaround can vary with volume and complexity).
