Honest, feature-by-feature breakdowns by category. We tell you when to use both, and when to switch.
Satellite roof reports — squares, pitch, edges.
EagleView pioneered satellite roof measurements in 2008 and has been the legacy market leader. RoofGenius Instant Measurements are $10 per report against EagleView's published $25–$55 (EagleView public pricing, checked 27 August 2026), and are delivered in minutes rather than EagleView's stated 4–24 hour turnaround. RoofGenius also bundles AI Supplements and AI Estimator, which EagleView does not offer.
Hover builds 3D property models from 8–10 smartphone photos that the homeowner or sales rep captures on-site. RoofGenius Instant Measurements use satellite imagery — no photo capture, 10-second delivery, and bundles AI Supplements that Hover doesn't offer.
Retail estimates, proposals, pipeline.
Roofr offers measurements, proposals, and basic CRM. RoofGenius is purpose-built for storm-restoration contractors with AI Supplements (the highest-ROI feature in the category), cheaper and faster measurements, and AI Estimator with Good/Better/Best.
AccuLynx is an end-to-end roofing CRM with estimating, scheduling, production, and accounting. It does not include AI supplement detection or AI-generated retail proposals — both core RoofGenius features.
JobNimbus is a roofing CRM and project-management platform. It owns your sales pipeline and production scheduling. RoofGenius is the AI estimating + supplement engine that fits inside that workflow.
Audit carrier scopes, write supplement letters.
Xactimate is Verisk's industry-standard estimating platform — virtually every US carrier uses it. RoofGenius does not replace Xactimate; it audits Xactimate scopes for missed line items and generates supplement letters in Xactimate-compatible format.
Symbility (CoreLogic) is the second most-common carrier estimating platform after Xactimate. RoofGenius scans both formats — upload a Symbility PDF and it identifies missed items and generates a supplement in matching format.
Job photos and field documentation.
CompanyCam is a photo-documentation app with timestamp, geotag, and team-share features. RoofGenius is an AI estimating + supplement engine. CompanyCam photos feed directly into RoofGenius supplement letters as evidence.
Riptide's Roof Diagnose reads a roof photo and returns a damage assessment with severity and confidence scores in about thirty seconds. RoofGenius runs the same kind of per-photo classification, then keeps going: verified NOAA storm history for the address, building-code research, satellite measurements, the retail estimate, and the supplement — all on one job file.
Long-form comparisons and category guides.
AI estimates, $10 satellite measurements, and claim-ready supplements — from $149/mo retail, $497/mo with insurance supplementing. No long-term contract.
