GAF QuickMeasure and EagleView are two of the most popular aerial roof measurement tools, but they optimize for different things. As of late 2026, GAF QuickMeasure offers a flat $20 residential rate with a guaranteed one-hour turnaround, while EagleView offers a tiered pricing model starting at $18 for basic reports and scaling up to $87+ for detailed premium models and complex commercial jobs.
Two different approaches to roof measurement
Both services use high-resolution aerial imagery to deliver accurate roof measurements without sending a rep up a ladder, but they are built for different sales motions.
GAF QuickMeasure is built for speed and integration. It is widely regarded as the fastest option in the industry, making it ideal for retail roofing sales and quick canvassing estimates. Because it automatically generates a GAF Bill of Materials, it is heavily favored by contractors who install GAF products, though any roofer can use the core measurements.
EagleView is the legacy standard, often required by insurance carriers for claims work. It provides highly detailed, facet-by-facet reports (in its Premium tier) that are trusted for complex roofs, commercial properties, and strict documentation requirements. It is a heavier, more established tool with deep integrations into most major roofing CRMs.
Pricing models compared
Both vendors offer per-report pricing, but EagleView also introduced subscription options for high-volume users.
- GAF QuickMeasure keeps it simple: a flat $20 per parcel for standard single-family residential reports. GAF Certified contractors can access an $18 rate through partner portals. Multi-family buildings range from $54 to $60.
- EagleView uses a tiered system. The entry-level Bid Perfect report (basic squares) is $18. Premium reports, which include comprehensive facet data and waste calculations, are priced by size: $32.75 for small roofs (under 20 squares), $60 for medium, and $87 for large properties. High-volume contractors can negotiate lower rates through the quote-based EagleView One subscription.
Prices are as publicly advertised at the time of writing (late 2026). Check directly with the vendor for current promotional or partner pricing.
Turnaround times
Speed is the most stark difference between the two platforms.
GAF QuickMeasure guarantees single-family residential reports in under one hour, and often delivers them in minutes. For multi-family and commercial, turnaround is under 24 hours.
EagleView’s standard delivery time is typically 6 to 8 business hours. While they do offer rush options that can deliver reports in under 60 minutes, those options come with an additional fee.
Where Scout Data fits
Scout Data is not a roof measurement tool. While QuickMeasure and EagleView tell you the exact dimensions of a roof after you have a lead, they cannot tell you which house on the street to knock on in the first place.
Field sales teams use Scout Data to map roof ages, spot homes that are due for replacement, and pull homeowner phone numbers. Once you know which home needs a roof, you use GAF or EagleView to measure it. To learn more about setting appointments, read our guide on EagleView pricing or evaluating EagleView alternatives.
