EagleView: aerial reports and Xactimate files for insurance work
EagleView captures its own aerial imagery (it markets 1-inch resolution) and turns it into measurement reports that come with ESX files for Xactimate. The company says it supports 24 of the top 25 U.S. insurers (Eagleview, Feb 2025), and it reports 98.77% accuracy on roof lines in a June 2025 study EagleView commissioned from surveying firm CompassData.
Residential roof reports are listed at $24.25–$87 depending on roof size and pricing tier, with the top tier by call. The page says Silver, Gold and Platinum pricing comes through a sales rep, partners, distributors, volume or prepay plans. For bids, EagleView also sells a lighter Bid Perfect report from $18 (eagleview.com/pricing, checked Oct 2026). Turnaround isn't on the pricing page.
Roofr: an all-in-one contractor platform with measurement reports
Roofr puts a CRM, proposals with e-signatures, invoicing, payments and material ordering under one login, with unlimited users. Reports are billed per report on every plan: $19 on the free Starter plan (about 24 hours, not guaranteed), or $13 with the Measure+ add-on ($109/mo with a 6-hour guarantee, $169/mo for 2-hour, billed monthly) and on the Essentials and Scale plans (2-hour guarantee). Roofr also has a DIY mode for drawing your own reports on provided or uploaded imagery; on Starter, standard images for it cost $3–$4.50 each. ESX files are a paid add-on.
Essentials is $249/month ($209/month billed yearly) and Scale is $349/month ($299/month billed yearly); Measure+ adds $13 reports to the free Starter plan from $109/month. Reports are billed on top of the plan on every tier, so your monthly cost is plan plus reports: run it against your own volume (roofr.com/pricing, Oct 2026). Weighing a switch? See our Roofr alternative.
GAF QuickMeasure: pay-per-report, under-an-hour delivery
QuickMeasure is pay-per-report with no subscription: order a roof, get a measurement, move on. GAF lists $18 per single-family report for Master Elite contractors and $20 for other pros (per gaf.com, Oct 2026); multi-family reports are $54 and $60 per building on the same two tiers. Delivery is under 1 hour for single-family and under 24 hours for multi-family (per GAF). Each report includes an editable 3D rendering and a GAF bill of materials for the takeoff.
QuickMeasure is 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), which matters mainly if you file insurance work in Xactimate; an XML data file is listed.
How to pick between the three
- Choose EagleView if you work insurance or storm-restoration jobs, file in Xactimate, and a per-report cost fits the job.
- Choose Roofr if you want measurement, CRM, proposals, payments and material ordering in one login instead of stitching three tools together.
- Choose GAF QuickMeasure if you need an occasional report back fast, with no subscription, and already have a CRM and an estimate tool you like.
EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure share one model: you order a report, wait, and pay per roof. That's the right model when you need a third-party report for a claim. If you bid ten roofs to close three, run the math on the seven you don't win. All seven tools we cover, sorted by pricing model, are in the best roof measurement software in 2026.
Where RoofStruct fits: measure it yourself, then keep going
RoofStruct starts from a free plan: free, unlimited self-serve measuring and PDF reports, no card. With RoofStruct you measure the roof yourself on satellite imagery or your own drone or phone photo, with no per-report fee for self-serve measuring and PDF export; a measurement takes as long as your trace, typically minutes. Then, on Pro ($69 a month), you build the Good / Better / Best estimate, collect the e-signature and send the material order in the same tool. Our worksheet for measuring roofs yourself runs the per-report math on your own numbers.
When a job needs a report someone else measured, order one in the app: a technician measures the roof and a second one checks it, for $14 residential ($10 on Pro), 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): geometry only, with no line items or prices, opened with your own Xactimate® licence (what an ESX sketch includes). ESX sketches aren't offered in France, and RoofStruct isn't affiliated with Verisk, the maker of Xactimate®.
Where you trip
- Paying per report on a low close rate. Measure 30, close 5, and a per-report model charged you for 25 roofs that walked. Run the math on your bid-to-close ratio before you pick a pricing model.
- Trusting imagery on the hard roofs. Satellite imagery, any vendor's, can misread pitch and flashing on steep, cut-up roofs, and heavy tree cover or very new construction can defeat it. That's inherent to imagery, ours included. Sanity-check pitch on anything over an 8/12; our free pitch finder is one way to do it.
- Buying three tools that don't talk. A measurement vendor, a CRM and an estimate app means the same numbers get re-keyed three times, and that's where errors live.
- Stopping at squares. Squares are a starting point, not a takeoff. Check that waste factor, starter, drip edge and ridge cap are counted before it becomes a real material order.
FAQ
How much does a roof measurement report cost?
Per each vendor's own pages (Oct 2026): GAF QuickMeasure is $18 per single-family report for Master Elite contractors and $20 for other pros. Roofr is $13 per report with Measure+ (from $109/mo) or on its Essentials and Scale plans, and $19 on the free Starter plan. EagleView lists residential roof reports at $24.25–$87 by size and tier, with Bid Perfect from $18. Measuring the roof yourself on RoofStruct has no per-report fee.
What's the best EagleView alternative?
For a per-report swap at a lower list price: GAF QuickMeasure or Roofr, or EagleView's own Bid Perfect, from $18. To stop paying per report on everyday bids, measure those roofs yourself. If a claim needs EagleView's report and ESX file, the alternative has to match them. More in EagleView alternatives for small contractors.
Do I need Xactimate integration?
Only if you do insurance or restoration work and file in Xactimate. EagleView and Roofr offer ESX files (Roofr as a paid add-on), an ESX file isn't listed on the GAF pages we checked (Oct 2026), and RoofStruct sells geometry-only ESX sketch orders. For retail replacement it usually doesn't matter.
