Roofr and EagleView sit at opposite ends of the aerial measurement market. Roofr offers instant, affordable estimates designed for fast retail bidding. EagleView provides slower, premium-priced reports built on proprietary imagery that insurance adjusters accept without question.

The price difference is substantial
Roofr’s main selling point is its aggressive pricing. You can sign up for a free Starter account and order measurement reports for a flat $19 each. If you subscribe to one of their paid software plans (starting at $109 per month), the per-report cost drops to $13.
EagleView is significantly more expensive. Standard residential reports typically range from $40 to $60 depending on the number of squares on the roof, with complex or commercial properties costing $80 or more. EagleView often requires volume commitments or an "EagleView One" subscription for the best pricing.

Speed and turnaround
If you need a quote out the door today, Roofr is built for speed. Their paid plans guarantee a 2-hour turnaround time, and the free tier promises 24 hours.
EagleView’s standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. While they do offer expedited delivery for an additional fee, their standard workflow is slower because of their rigorous quality assurance process.
Accuracy and the insurance market
The reason contractors pay EagleView’s premium is accuracy. They capture their own high-resolution orthogonal and oblique aerial imagery, meaning they can measure steep pitches and complex valleys that standard satellite data misses. This is why EagleView is the gold standard for insurance restoration; adjusters trust it, and it integrates cleanly with Xactimate.
Roofr relies on satellite imagery. While their technology is more than accurate enough for a retail roofer doing a standard tear-off and replacement, it can sometimes struggle with heavy tree coverage or extremely complex gables.
The hybrid workflow
Many modern roofing companies use both. They use Roofr to rapidly draft a $19 proposal and get it in front of the homeowner. Once the contract is signed—or if an insurance adjuster gets involved—they order an EagleView to ensure their material orders and supplements are perfectly precise.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Roofr measurement report cost?
On Roofr’s free Starter plan, a measurement report is $19. If you upgrade to a paid subscription (which starts at $109 per month), the cost drops to $13 per report.
Is EagleView more accurate than Roofr?
EagleView is widely considered the industry standard for accuracy because it uses proprietary, high-resolution aerial imagery rather than relying solely on third-party satellite data. Roofr is accurate enough for standard retail bidding, but EagleView is often required by insurance adjusters.
Do insurance adjusters accept Roofr reports?
Some do, but EagleView is far more universally accepted in the insurance restoration industry. EagleView integrates natively with Xactimate, making it the preferred choice for supplements and strict carrier requirements.
