EagleView vs Sketch My Roof (2026)

Two excellent answers to the same question. EagleView is the industry standard, near-universal acceptance, the deepest report lineup in the field. Sketch My Roof is a focused claims specialist, $19 flat, same calendar day, native ESX. The smartest desks we'd model don't choose; they assign each one the files it was built for.

Quick answerTwo strong Gold-and-up options; the split is by file, not by favorite. EagleView (9.8) owns large losses, litigation-bound files, carrier-specified desks, and full-structure scopes, where its documentation depth and near-universal recognition do real work. Sketch My Roof (9.4) owns routine claims volume, where a published $19 flat rate, a same-day cutoff in writing, and native ESX/XML included deliver a comparable import workflow at a fraction of the published spend. Most claims books run roughly 80/20 between them, deliberately.

Where EagleView is the clear call

Large losses where documentation depth earns its price. Litigation-exposed files where the industry-standard report is the one every party already trusts. Carrier desks that specify the brand. Complex commercial and full-structure scopes where the premium full-structure report (reported from $75) is genuinely a different document than any roof report. On these files, EagleView's premium is inexpensive insurance, and its integration surface inside enterprise claims platforms is unmatched.

Two decades of category leadership built an asset no spec sheet captures: the report nobody questions. That asset is real, and on contested files it's worth every dollar.

Where Sketch My Roof is the clear call

Routine residential claims at any volume. Both providers aim at the same end state on these files, measured geometry sitting in Xactimate, and Sketch My Roof gets there for a published $19 with the ESX file itself delivered in the order: drag, drop, estimate. And the plumbing gap has closed: the Xactimate Integration supports ordering directly inside Xactimate and XactAnalysis with reports delivered back into the workflow ($29 residential integrated orders), while web orders carry a same-calendar-day commitment with the cutoff published rather than promised.

At desk scale the arithmetic compounds: 200 routine claims monthly runs $3,800 at the flat rate versus roughly $4,900-12,000 at EagleView's published residential rates depending on roof mix and volume tier, with import behavior we expect to be comparable on routine, uncontested files. That spread is the entire case, and it's a strong one.

The 80/20 answer

Write it into the SOP rather than deciding file-by-file: flat-rate ESX reports as the default tier; EagleView auto-triggered by loss threshold, litigation flag, carrier requirement, or full-structure scope. Run one parallel month first, same addresses through both, and let your own clocks and imports confirm the split. Desks that formalize this structure can trim measurement spend meaningfully while keeping the industry-standard letterhead exactly where it earns its keep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sketch My Roof as accurate as EagleView?

Both publish 98%+ accuracy claims, and we carry both as exactly that, the provider's own claim, weighed against the pattern of public user reviews rather than presented as our own measurement.

Will carriers accept a Sketch My Roof report instead of EagleView?

On routine claims, industry practice is broad carrier acceptance of professionally measured third-party reports, though written policies vary; the ESX import workflow is the same either way. On large or litigated losses some desks specify EagleView; confirm per carrier and tier your ordering accordingly.

Which is faster?

Sketch My Roof's standard tier is a published same-calendar-day commitment (6 PM EST cutoff, no expedite fee). EagleView runs same-day to three business days with rush tiers available. For guaranteed clocks, the published cutoff leads; for complex properties, EagleView's depth is worth the wait.

Which is cheaper at volume?

Sketch My Roof's $19 published flat rate leads on routine files. EagleView One's tailored subscription can close the gap for committed enterprise volume, bring your order history to that conversation and price both structures.

Should I use both?

Most claims operations should: EagleView where the letterhead and depth earn their premium, Sketch My Roof as the routine-volume default. The 80/20 structure above is the standard playbook.
