Disclosure RoofStruct makes a competing product. Vendor details come from each vendor's own pages and are dated in the text.

There is no single best roof measurement software. There are five ways to pay for a roof measurement, and the right tool is the one whose pricing model matches the work you bid: pay per delivered report, a platform with pay-as-you-go reports, a subscription with unlimited DIY measuring, per-project phone capture, or a free self-serve plan. Below: seven tools sorted by how you pay and what each is built for, then how to choose.

How we compared: We compared these tools from each vendor's own published pages, checked October 2026. We did not run side-by-side accuracy tests. RoofStruct makes one of these tools.

Pay per delivered report: EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure

You order a report, wait, and pay per roof, with no subscription needed: the model for when someone else measures the roof and the report has to stand on its own.

EagleView

EagleView captures its own aerial imagery (it markets 1-inch resolution) and sells measurement reports per report, from full roof reports down to a lighter bid-stage report called Bid Perfect. It offers ESX files for Xactimate, and the company says it supports 24 of the top 25 U.S. insurers (Eagleview, Feb 2025). It reports 98.77% accuracy on roof lines in a June 2025 study EagleView commissioned from surveying firm CompassData. Delivery depends on the option you pick at checkout. EagleView also sells Eagleview One, a subscription platform with no public price.

Built for: insurance and restoration work filed in Xactimate, and bids where you'd rather order a report than trace the roof (Bid Perfect). Vendor page: EagleView pricing.

GAF QuickMeasure

QuickMeasure is pay-per-report with no subscription. GAF advertises guaranteed delivery in under an hour for single-family homes (per GAF), and each report includes an editable 3D rendering and a GAF bill of materials for the takeoff. It's available nationwide in the US, excluding Alaska (per GAF, Oct 2026). An ESX file isn't listed on the GAF pages we checked (Oct 2026).

Built for: the occasional report you need back fast, without another monthly bill. Vendor page: GAF QuickMeasure.

Dated prices for both are in our side-by-side comparison of EagleView, Roofr and GAF QuickMeasure.

A platform with pay-per-report reports and DIY drawing: Roofr

Roofr

Roofr is an all-in-one contractor platform: CRM, proposals with e-signatures, invoicing, payments and material ordering under one login, with unlimited users. Measurement reports are billed per report on every plan, starting with the free Starter plan, and Roofr also has a DIY mode for drawing your own reports on provided or uploaded imagery. ESX files are a paid add-on per report.

Built for: shops that want the whole sales process, lead to payment, in one system. Vendor page: Roofr pricing. Dated prices are in the same comparison; see also our Roofr alternative.

Subscription with unlimited DIY measuring: RoofSnap and iRoofing

You pay monthly or yearly (per user on RoofSnap, a flat rate for 3 users on iRoofing) and measure as many roofs yourself as you like; ordered reports cost extra.

RoofSnap

RoofSnap's subscription includes unlimited DIY measurements, estimating and material ordering. It starts at $105 per user per month billed monthly, or $52 per user per month on an annual plan for teams of 10 or more, and there's a 7-day trial. If you'd rather not subscribe, RoofSnap measurement orders are pay-as-you-go from $13 (RoofSnap pricing page, Oct 2026).

Built for: teams that measure and estimate in-house every day and order the odd report on the side. Vendor page: RoofSnap pricing.

iRoofing

iRoofing is $149 a month billed monthly, less on 12- or 24-month terms. That covers 3 users with unlimited DIY roof measurements and proposals, plus digital contracts and e-signature. An ordered perimeter report from iRoofing is $10 with no subscription (iRoofing pricing page, Oct 2026).

Built for: a small sales team measuring and presenting its own jobs at a flat monthly price. Vendor page: iRoofing pricing.

Per-project phone or blueprint capture: Hover

Hover

Hover measures from a guided smartphone scan of the house or from an uploaded blueprint instead of overhead imagery, and turns the scan into a 3D model with measurements. Hover pricing is per project: on the pay-as-you-go Starter plan your first 3 projects are free and a simple roof-only project is $29, while the $999-a-year Pro plan takes that project to $9 and adds estimates and agreements. Exports include ESX (Hover pricing page, Oct 2026).

Built for: crews already at the property, roofs that are hard to read from overhead, and jobs with blueprints. Vendor page: Hover pricing.

Free self-serve plan, paid Pro for estimates and orders: RoofStruct (our product)

RoofStruct

RoofStruct's free plan gives you free, unlimited self-serve measuring and PDF reports, no card. You trace any roof on satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo in minutes, label the edges, and export the full PDF with RoofStruct branding. The free plan also includes the Cost & Takeoff worksheet and water-flow analysis. Pro costs $69 a month, or $624 a year ($52 a month). It adds branded Good / Better / Best estimates with e-signature, the Material Order Builder with Smart Waste, every export format (PDF, CSV, XLSX, JSON, DXF), your logo and colors, and up to 5 team members.

When you don't want to trace a roof yourself, order a done-for-you report: $14 residential ($10 on Pro), measured by a technician, checked by a second one, and usually delivered within 4 hours (turnaround can vary with volume and complexity), with a correct-or-refund guarantee within 30 days (how done-for-you reports work). For insurance files, an ESX sketch is $29 residential ($24 on Pro), usually delivered within about 4 hours. It's geometry only, with no line items or prices, and you open it with your own Xactimate® licence (what an ESX sketch includes). RoofStruct isn't affiliated with Verisk, the maker of Xactimate.

Built for: small crews that measure a lot of roofs they won't win and want estimates and orders in the same tool on Pro. We make it, so weigh its place here accordingly.

How to choose

  • Insurance claim. Choose EagleView if the report goes to an adjuster and into Xactimate, and a per-report cost fits the job. If you only need sketch geometry for an estimate you price yourself, a RoofStruct ESX sketch is another route.
  • Occasional one-off. Choose GAF QuickMeasure if you need a report back fast and don't want a subscription. EagleView's Bid Perfect is another pay-per-report option for bids.
  • Retail bids at volume. Choose a self-serve tool if you bid a lot of roofs you won't win: RoofStruct's free plan, a RoofSnap or iRoofing subscription, or Roofr's DIY mode.
  • Pipeline-heavy shop. Choose Roofr if lead tracking comes first and you want CRM, proposals, payments and material ordering under one login.
  • Crew on site. Choose Hover if someone is at the property anyway, or the roof is hard to read from overhead.

Can I use two?

Yes, if your work splits that way: one tool for routine retail bids, one for the reports that have to hold up in a claim. Our worksheet for measuring roofs yourself vs. ordering reports runs that split on your own numbers.

What RoofStruct doesn't do

Where our own product stops:

  • No 3D roof model. There's no 3D view anywhere in the product; estimates you send show the aerial photo of the roof.
  • No sales-pipeline CRM. The customer hub keeps profiles, estimates, orders and an activity timeline, but there are no lead stages or job boards.
  • No live Xactimate integration. ESX sketches are a paid order, geometry only, with no line items or prices. They aren't offered in France.
  • No phone-scan capture. You trace on satellite imagery or a drone or phone photo you upload.
  • No estimates or material orders on the free plan. Those are Pro, along with CSV, XLSX, JSON and DXF exports. The free plan exports the PDF.

FAQ

What is the best roof measurement software in 2026?

It depends on how you pay and what you do with the number: a delivered report such as EagleView's for claim work filed in Xactimate; GAF QuickMeasure for an occasional fast report with no subscription; Roofr for one platform from lead to payment; RoofSnap or iRoofing for unlimited in-house measuring on a subscription; Hover for on-site capture; RoofStruct, which we make, for free self-serve measuring with estimates and orders on a paid plan.

Which roof measurement tool is used for insurance claims?

EagleView sells ESX files for Xactimate and says it supports 24 of the top 25 U.S. insurers (Eagleview, Feb 2025). Its 98.77% roof-line figure comes from a June 2025 study it commissioned from CompassData. Roofr and Hover also list ESX files. RoofStruct sells ESX sketch orders, geometry only, that you price in your own Xactimate. For everyday bids, see when small contractors need EagleView.

Is there roof measurement software with no per-report fee?

Yes. RoofStruct lets you measure unlimited roofs yourself and export PDFs with no per-report fee on every plan, including the free one. RoofSnap and iRoofing subscriptions also include unlimited DIY measuring, and Roofr offers a DIY drawing mode next to its ordered reports. EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure price ordered reports per report (vendor pages, Oct 2026).
