HOVER vs Roofr (2026)

Two of the field's strongest platforms, built on different bets. HOVER bets the deliverable, a measurable 3D model of the whole exterior. Roofr bets the workflow, measurement flowing into proposal, e-signature, and CRM in one motion. Both bets pay; the question is which one your revenue runs on.

Quick answerChoose by what happens after the measurement. If the next step is a homeowner decision on a roof, proposal, options, signature, Roofr (9.6) owns that motion with published $13-19 reports by plan feeding a genuinely free CRM. If the scope is bigger than shingles, siding, windows, gutters, full-exterior remodels, HOVER (9.5) delivers a 3D model no report document matches. Full-exterior sellers often run both.

Where HOVER is the clear call

Scopes that span the envelope. When the job includes siding, windows, gutters, or trim, one capture producing every trade's measurements beats reconciling separate documents, and the 3D model doubles as a presentation tool that shows the homeowner their own house transformed. New construction and additions are HOVER territory too: today's photos beat any imagery archive, every time.

Where Roofr is the clear call

Roof-centric retail volume. Address in, report back in hours (reported), proposal generated on the measurement, signature collected, the whole close in one platform, with the CRM free. For a residential roofing company whose revenue is driveway decisions, Roofr's pipeline is the best-oiled machine in the field.
