Hover charges per scan and relies on outside CRMs, job schedulers, and invoicing tools to run a full operation. QuoteIQ Elite gives roofing crews satellite measurement, scheduling, invoicing, route optimization, AI estimating, and a full CRM in one platform — at $299/mo flat with no per-job fees.
When you’re closing your first roof replacements and storm-damage claims, Hover feels like an upgrade. You take photos, get an accurate 3D model, and impress homeowners with the visual. But the moment you hire a second crew and start juggling shingle tearoffs, flat-roof coatings, skylight installs, and gutter replacements across four neighborhoods simultaneously, you hit the wall every growing roofing business hits: Hover has no CRM, no scheduling, no invoicing, no route management, no review automation, and no payment collection. You’re paying Hover per scan, then paying separately for AccuLynx, JobNimbus, or another CRM to actually manage the job.
That app stack compounds fast. A three-crew roofing operation that uses Hover for measurements, a separate CRM for job management, a separate invoicing tool, and a separate route optimization app is easily spending $400–$700/mo just to replicate what QuoteIQ Elite delivers in one login. And you’re still bouncing between tabs to get a Hover report into your CRM, get the CRM estimate into your invoicing app, and get the invoice into QuickBooks. Every handoff is a point where data disappears and follow-up falls through the cracks.
QuoteIQ was built for exactly this moment — when a roofing company outgrows a measurement tool and needs a real operating system. From satellite measurement and AI-powered estimates on standing-seam metal panels, TPO flat roofs, cedar shake replacements, and asphalt shingle jobs, to automated scheduling, GPS crew tracking, review collection, and same-day invoicing, QuoteIQ Elite handles it all for $299/mo flat. No per-scan fees. No per-user CRM charges. No separate app for each function. One platform, one login, one bill.
Hover’s Pro plan is billed at $999/year ($83.25/mo) and reduces per-scan costs — but it is a measurement-only tool. Every function beyond measuring (CRM, scheduling, invoicing, route optimization, review collection, payment processing) requires separate software. Below is what roofing contractors actually pay to get a feature set equivalent to QuoteIQ Elite. All pricing sourced from vendor websites; Hover pricing verified via hover.to/pricing, June 2026.
⚠️ What Hover cannot provide at any price: Hover is a measurement and visualization tool, not field service management software. No CRM. No job scheduling. No invoicing. No payment collection. No route optimization. No review automation. No online customer booking. To run a complete roofing business, every contractor using Hover must subscribe to at least one additional platform for the operational side — often several. There is no integration that turns Hover into a CRM, scheduler, and invoicing platform simultaneously.
Summary: A typical 3-crew roofing operation running Hover Pro plus one CRM, route optimization, and review software pays $596–$800+/mo and still bounces between multiple logins. QuoteIQ Elite delivers all of that at $299/mo with no per-scan fees, no per-user charges, and no third-party subscriptions required. Hover pricing data sourced from hover.to/pricing (June 2026); scan fees estimated from publicly stated per-scan costs at Pro tier.

✱ Hover’s genuine product strengths: 3D property visualization and accurate roof facet measurement from smartphone photos are industry-leading capabilities. Hover’s material lists and proposals (Pro tier) are well-regarded by contractors who use Hover specifically for the sales presentation. These are real product wins — see the section below. Hover pricing sourced from hover.to/pricing, June 2026; per-scan fees estimated from publicly confirmed expedited rates and Pro tier pricing. Verify current scan rates directly with Hover before making purchasing decisions.
Honesty matters in a comparison. Here is what Hover does better than QuoteIQ — and where it genuinely earns its place in a roofing workflow.
Hover charges per roof scan — anywhere from ~$9 to $40+ per job depending on complexity and plan tier. A 3-crew roofer running 20 jobs a month can spend $200–$600 in scan fees alone before factoring in the Pro plan cost. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro delivers satellite measurements with no per-scan fees, ever.
Hover’s Pro plan includes estimate generation based on scan data, but it does not include AI-powered estimation from field photos, automated follow-up sequences, or natural language CRM control. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator converts job photos into fully itemized estimates — shingle grades, labor tiers, underlayment options — in seconds.
Upload a photo. AI analyzes surface type, condition, and scope, then generates a market-accurate estimate for your local area. What used to take 20–30 minutes now takes under 5. Built-in upsell recommendations included.

Hover measures roofs. It has no concept of crews, scheduling, or route management. Roofing companies using Hover for measurements still need a separate tool to route crews from shingle deliveries, to tear-off sites, to inspection walkthroughs. A standalone route optimization app runs $65+/mo for a single vehicle. QuoteIQ Elite includes multi-crew route optimization with live GPS at no additional cost.
After a successful shingle replacement or flat-roof restoration, the homeowner is at peak satisfaction — and that’s the exact moment most roofing crews move to the next job without capturing a review. Hover has no review automation. A standalone reputation tool runs $49+/mo. QuoteIQ’s Review Multiplier auto-texts customers after job completion, turning satisfied homeowners into a steady stream of 5-star Google reviews.
Watch how roofing contractors use QuoteIQ to measure, estimate, schedule, route, invoice, and collect reviews — all from one platform.
Most roofing contractors are fully operational on QuoteIQ within a week. Here is the standard migration path.
Pick any QuoteIQ plan. All plans include a 14-day free trial. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Most roofing crews start on Elite to test the full feature set — satellite measurement, AI estimating, scheduling, and routing — from day one.
From your existing CRM (JobNimbus, AccuLynx, or whatever you use alongside Hover), export your customer list, job history, and open estimates as a CSV. QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import maps your fields automatically — name, address, phone, job type, status, value — without manual column matching.
Set up your service catalog with your actual roofing line items: asphalt shingle replacement (3-tab, architectural, premium), TPO flat-roof installation, standing-seam metal roofing, ridge vent installation, ice & water shield underlayment, fascia and soffit repair, gutter replacement, and skylight installation. Set your material costs, labor tiers, and overhead markups once — every estimate auto-populates from there.
Pull up any job address, run the satellite measurement, and watch the roof area, pitch, and facet breakdown populate into your estimate automatically. Send the homeowner a professional proposal with good/better/best shingle options directly from the same screen. No tab-switching between Hover and a separate CRM.
Load your crews into Route Optimization, assign the week’s jobs, and let the system calculate the most efficient sequence across neighborhoods. Turn on Review Multiplier to automatically text homeowners 24 hours after job completion requesting a Google review. Within 30 days, most roofing contractors see a measurable increase in their review count and star rating.
These quotes are sourced from verified reviews on Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp (June 2026). They reflect the consistent pattern of Hover users who value the measurement technology but run into its operational limits.
“The thing that is most challenging with Hover is that all the photos don’t automatically upload to BuilderTrend, which is the tool that we use to manage our jobs. So we end up doing double entry just to get everything in one place.”
“The ability of sales reps to change pitches of roofs without proof verification has caused shortages of materials on ordering the incorrect materials for the pitch of the roof.”
“Not having all the colors and product options available. Have run into situations where homeowners want to see specific colors with what we offer and they were not there.”

“QuoteIQ transformed how I run my roofing services, improving scheduling, quotes, and customer communication significantly.”
“From estimates to invoices, QuoteIQ keeps my roofing business organized and running smoothly always.”
“QuoteIQ’s integrated invoicing and scheduling tools ensure seamless project management for roofing professionals.”
QuoteIQ was designed by co-founders who have operated field service businesses — not by SaaS engineers building for roofing contractors from the outside.
Mike Vidan has spent years studying how roofing contractors, HVAC crews, and other field service operators actually work — and where the tools they rely on fall apart. His focus in building QuoteIQ was on eliminating the app stack problem: the cascade of subscriptions that each solve one piece of the job but never talk to each other cleanly. The per-scan pricing model that Hover uses is one of the structural inefficiencies Mike specifically designed QuoteIQ’s unlimited measurement model to address. A flat monthly cost with no per-job fees changes how crews think about measuring — they measure every job, not just the ones where the fee feels worth it.
Read Mike’s Insights →Justin Rogers brings the operations and product perspective to QuoteIQ — the features that crews actually use in the field rather than the features that look good in a product demo. Justin’s philosophy on tools like Hover is straightforward: a measurement tool that requires three other subscriptions to deliver a complete job workflow is a building block, not a platform. For roofing contractors who are tired of paying for Hover, a CRM, a routing tool, and a review platform separately, QuoteIQ Elite was designed to be the answer: one subscription that handles the entire job lifecycle without the handoff friction.
Read Justin’s Insights →Not every roofing contractor is the right fit for QuoteIQ. Here is when staying on Hover makes sense.
The only compelling reason to stay on Hover for a growing roofing operation is its 3D home visualization and measurement depth on complex rooflines. That is a product win. But for the operational side of the business — scheduling, routing, invoicing, reviews, CRM, and payment collection — Hover requires you to go elsewhere. That is not a platform. That is a feature.
QuoteIQ replaces the entire app stack that roofing contractors typically build around Hover — the CRM, the scheduler, the invoicing tool, the route planner, and the review platform. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro handles satellite measurement directly inside the platform, so the core function Hover serves (measuring a roof before estimating) is covered. What QuoteIQ does not replicate is Hover’s 3D home visualization for in-person sales presentations. If that specific feature is central to your close rate, it is the one genuine product reason to keep Hover in your workflow alongside QuoteIQ.
Hover Pro is $999/year (~$83/mo), but that is only the subscription fee. On top of that, you pay per-scan fees on every roof job. Hover charges by complexity: simple roofs (under 4 facets) cost less; complex homes with 9+ facets cost more. At Pro tier, you get $20 off the standard per-scan rate. A crew running 20 jobs/month at an average scan cost of ~$15/job on Pro pays roughly $300/mo in scan fees on top of the plan cost, for ~$383/mo — and still needs a separate CRM, routing tool, and review platform to run the operation. Total stack cost: $596–$800+/mo. QuoteIQ Elite delivers all of that at $299/mo flat. Verify current Hover scan pricing at hover.to/pricing before making purchasing decisions.
No. QuoteIQ Elite includes unlimited satellite measurements through MapMeasure Pro at $299/mo flat. There are no per-scan fees, no per-job charges, and no volume limits. You can measure every job, every address, every lead without watching a meter run. This is a structural difference in the pricing model: Hover’s per-scan fee means every measurement has a marginal cost, which causes crews to think twice about measuring marginal jobs. QuoteIQ eliminates that friction entirely.
Not in the same way. Hover’s 3D property model from smartphone photos — with real material rendering, color selection, and before/after previews — is the feature the company was built around, and it is genuinely impressive for in-home sales presentations on shingle color and exterior design choices. QuoteIQ includes Before & After AI photography for job documentation and QuoteIQ Cam for site photos, but does not replicate Hover’s full 3D home model. If your salespeople close more premium shingle upgrades specifically because of the 3D visual, that is a real product advantage worth weighing. For most operational workflows, the measurement accuracy is what matters — and MapMeasure Pro delivers that without per-scan fees.
No. Hover is a measurement, design, and estimation platform. It does not have a native CRM, job scheduling, crew dispatch, route optimization, invoicing, or payment collection. Hover integrates with CRMs like JobNimbus, AccuLynx, and Leap CRM so that your measurements flow into your job management system, but those are separate subscriptions with separate logins. QuoteIQ Elite combines all of those functions in one platform.
Most roofing contractors are fully operational on QuoteIQ within five to seven business days. The migration involves exporting your customer list and job data from your existing CRM as a CSV, then importing into QuoteIQ using AI Smart Import, which maps your field names automatically. Building your roofing price book (shingle types, labor rates, underlayment, accessories) typically takes one afternoon. You keep using Hover until the migration is complete and your team is comfortable, then cancel. No data loss. No downtime.
Most roofing contractors with two or more crews start on QuoteIQ Elite at $299/mo. Elite unlocks MapMeasure Pro (satellite measurement), Route Optimization, Review Multiplier, AI Estimator, AI Autopilot, and full CRM with up to 7 users. Solo operators doing fewer than 10 jobs/month can start on Pro at $149.99/mo and upgrade as the crew grows. All plans include a 14-day free trial.
Yes. QuoteIQ handles both residential and commercial roofing workflows. On the residential side, MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, InstaSchedule online booking, and Review Multiplier are the highest-used features. For commercial work, job costing, multi-crew route optimization, and the AI Estimator for large flat-roof measurements are the primary tools. The price book supports separate service catalogs for residential and commercial line items.
There is no native integration between Hover and QuoteIQ. For contractors who want to keep using Hover’s 3D visualization while switching their operational platform to QuoteIQ, the typical workflow is to run Hover for the sales presentation, then enter the job into QuoteIQ for scheduling, invoicing, and follow-up. Most contractors find that once MapMeasure Pro is handling satellite measurement natively in QuoteIQ, the separate Hover subscription becomes redundant for day-to-day operations.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s job workflow supports insurance claim documentation including before/after photos, itemized scope estimates, and digital signatures on authorization and proposal documents. The platform does not integrate with Xactimate directly, but the AI Estimator and QuoteIQ Cam provide the documentation and line-item estimates that insurance jobs require. For contractors whose business is primarily insurance restoration, a platform with native Xactimate integration (such as AccuLynx or Hover + a dedicated RMS) may offer a more purpose-built claim workflow.
QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo with no per-scan fees and no per-user charges for up to 7 users. A comparable Hover stack (Pro plan + scan fees + CRM + route optimization + review platform) costs $596–$800+/mo for a 3-crew operation. QuoteIQ eliminates the per-scan cost structure entirely and consolidates the stack into one platform. The savings compound with scale: the more jobs you run, the bigger the gap, because Hover’s per-scan fees grow with volume while QuoteIQ’s cost stays flat. Hover pricing verified from hover.to/pricing, June 2026.
Yes. All QuoteIQ plans include a 14-day free trial. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Most roofing contractors test the full Elite feature set during the trial — measuring a real job with MapMeasure Pro, generating an estimate, scheduling the crew, and testing Review Multiplier — before deciding on a plan. You can start your trial at admin-quoteiq.web.app/register.
Your Hover data (scan reports, 3D models, material lists, estimate history) stays in your Hover account until you cancel. Hover allows you to download PDF reports and measurement exports from completed jobs. Your customer and job history lives in your CRM (JobNimbus, AccuLynx, or similar), which you export as a CSV and import into QuoteIQ. QuoteIQ does not pull data directly from Hover — you migrate from your CRM, not from the measurement tool.
Stop paying per scan, per user, and per app. QuoteIQ Elite gives your roofing operation satellite measurement, AI estimating, scheduling, routing, invoicing, reviews, and a full CRM in one platform — for less than most contractors pay for their Hover stack alone.
