RoofSnap alternative
A RoofSnap alternative for contractors who want to measure free
RoofSnap pairs self-serve measuring, estimating and material ordering with a per-user subscription. RoofStruct gives you free, unlimited self-serve measuring and PDF reports, no card, and adds estimates and material orders on Pro.
The short answer
- RoofSnap's pricing page lists a 7-day free trial with no card, then a per-user monthly or annual subscription, or pay-as-you-go report orders with no subscription (Oct 2026).
- RoofStruct Free has no trial window: free, unlimited self-serve measuring and the full PDF report with RoofStruct branding, on satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo, no card.
- Both let you order a report measured for you. RoofStruct's done-for-you reports are measured by a technician, checked by a second one, and usually delivered within 4 hours (turnaround can vary with volume and complexity).
- This page is written by RoofStruct, which makes one of these tools.

How RoofStruct and RoofSnap differ
Both tools let you trace a roof yourself and both sell reports measured for you. The difference is where the paywall sits. On RoofSnap, unlimited draw-it-yourself measuring comes with the subscription, after a 7-day trial (RoofSnap pricing page, Oct 2026). On RoofStruct, self-serve measuring and the PDF report are free on every plan, with no end date and no card.
RoofSnap's subscription bundles more of the sales job: estimating, material ordering with custom pricing, branded reports and contracts, in-app deposits and payments, and homeowner financing through Acorn Finance (RoofSnap, Oct 2026). RoofStruct keeps measuring free and puts the selling tools on Pro: branded Good/Better/Best estimates with e-signature, the Material Order Builder with Smart Waste, CSV/XLSX/JSON/DXF exports, and your logo and colors.
Every RoofStruct plan includes the Cost & Takeoff worksheet and a water-flow analysis of the roof you drew. You can measure on satellite imagery or upload your own drone or phone photo.
How each one prices, in words
RoofSnap's pricing page lists three routes (Oct 2026): pay-as-you-go, billed per measurement report order with no subscription; a monthly subscription billed per user; and an annual subscription billed per user, with rates set by team size. Subscribers get a monthly allowance of HD roof images and lower report prices. The page also advertises a first order free.
RoofStruct has a Free plan and a Pro subscription. Free covers unlimited self-serve measuring and the PDF report. Pro covers up to 5 team members and adds estimates, material orders, more exports and your branding. Done-for-you reports and ESX sketches are billed per order on either plan.
We keep dated prices out of this page on purpose. They change often. Our roof measurement software comparison lists the current figures for RoofSnap, iRoofing and Hover, checked October 2026.
Where RoofSnap is the better pick
If you want to take deposits and payments in the same app you estimate in, RoofSnap lists in-app payments with many payment methods and homeowner financing through Acorn Finance (Oct 2026). Those are not part of what RoofStruct offers today.
RoofSnap also suits a team that already estimates in it every day, wants branded contracts next to the estimate, and orders reports often enough to use subscriber pricing and a rush option. If that is your shop, the per-user subscription can make sense.
Using both, or switching
You don't have to cancel anything to try RoofStruct. Draw a few roofs you already measured in RoofSnap, compare the totals, and look at the PDF you would hand a homeowner or a crew. Free has no trial clock, so you can test it on real jobs at your own pace.
Some contractors keep a subscription tool for estimating and use a free self-serve tool for the many bids they will not win. Others move the whole workflow to Pro. Either way, check that your crew lead and your supplier can read the report before you switch.
