Unlimited satellite measurements. Everything included.

The Real Problem

Roofr Was Built for Measurements — Not for Running a Metal Roofing Business

Roofr started as a measurement report platform, and it does that well. If you’re a solo roofer pulling a handful of reports each month, the per-report pricing model makes sense. But metal roofing contractors running standing seam installations, corrugated panel jobs, and copper or zinc re-roofs need more than a measurement tool with a proposal builder bolted on.

At 30 measurement reports per month, Roofr’s per-report costs alone hit $390 — and that’s on top of your Scale subscription. You still have no route optimization for your installation crews. No GPS fleet tracking. No inventory management for tracking standing seam panels, ridge caps, and flashing stock across jobs. No before-and-after AI photo documentation for warranty submittals. No mass campaign tools to reach past customers when metal roofing season ramps up. Every gap requires a separate subscription, a separate login, and a separate bill.

This guide shows what a real metal roofing operation actually pays when you add the tools Roofr doesn’t include — and what QuoteIQ Elite delivers for the same $299/month with unlimited satellite measurements, route optimization, inventory management, before-and-after AI, and everything else built in. No per-report charges. No add-on traps. One login.

Summary

Roofr Scale at $299/mo becomes $1,140+/mo once you add measurement report costs, Instant Estimator, route optimization, GPS tracking, inventory management, before-and-after AI, and mass campaigns. QuoteIQ Elite includes all of that for $299/mo — with unlimited satellite measurements and no per-report charges. That’s $841+ in monthly savings and $10,000+ saved per year.

Roofr data sourced from roofr.com, Capterra, SoftwareAdvice, and ContractorToolStack as of June 2026. Roofr is not in QuoteIQ’s Competitor Facts Sheet — all claims are verified via live web research and flagged for periodic re-verification. Roofr’s genuine advantage in Xactimate ESX export is noted honestly.
Footnote

Roofr has one genuine product advantage: Xactimate ESX export ($10/report add-on) for insurance restoration contractors. If you write Xactimate estimates on insurance jobs daily, Roofr’s one-click ESX file is a real differentiator QuoteIQ does not currently match. For everything else on this table, QuoteIQ Elite delivers more features at the same base price with no per-report charges.

Where Roofr Wins

We believe in honest comparisons. Here’s where Roofr has a genuine edge.

  • Xactimate ESX Export. Roofr offers Verisk-certified Xactimate ESX files at $10 per report. If you write insurance restoration estimates in Xactimate daily, this one-click export eliminates manual redrawing. QuoteIQ does not currently offer Xactimate integration. This is a real product advantage for storm restoration contractors.
  • Roofing-Specific Community. With 12,000+ roofing companies on the platform, active Masterclass webinars, and ABC Supply as an investor and integration partner, Roofr has a dedicated roofing community and ecosystem that general-purpose CRMs cannot replicate. That community has value — but it is a network effect, not a product feature.
  • Material Ordering & Supplier Integrations. Roofr integrates directly with suppliers like ABC Supply for in-app material ordering from measurement data. This is a genuine workflow advantage for contractors who order materials frequently from supported distributors. QuoteIQ’s material ordering workflow is built differently and does not have the same direct supplier connections.

What Roofr Users Are Saying

Real Feedback from Roofr Customers

Verified reviews from contractors who have used Roofr on real roofing projects.

Capterra · Verified User · July 2022

“Measurements are regularly incorrect, roof pitches are regularly incorrect — which is a big deal when the difference between 7/12 and 9/12 is $25 per square. Not optimized for mobile use, and the price increased 50% after we started using it more regularly.”

Christopher S. · Owner · Construction (11–50 employees) Pain point: Measurement accuracy & pricing
G2 · Verified User · 2025

“A QuickBooks integration is still missing, which would really help streamline financials. Entering supplier names and expenses could be more user-friendly. Some features require manual workarounds or lots of time to reconfigure as the platform evolves.”

Verified G2 Reviewer · Roofing Business Pain point: Missing QuickBooks integration
Capterra · Verified User · September 2024

“The cost for premium monthly options doesn’t have much incentive. We are happy with buying reports on a need basis, but when you add up the per-report costs at volume, it gets expensive quickly.”

Honest Take

Who Should Stay on Roofr

⚠️
You write Xactimate estimates on insurance restoration jobs daily. Roofr’s Verisk-certified ESX export is a genuine workflow advantage that QuoteIQ does not currently offer. If your metal roofing business runs primarily on insurance claims through Xactimate, Roofr’s $10/report ESX add-on saves meaningful time versus manual redrawing.
⚠️
You order materials from ABC Supply through Roofr frequently. Roofr’s direct supplier integration with ABC Supply lets you order metal roofing materials directly from measurement data inside the app. If that specific supplier workflow is central to your operation, it is a real integration advantage.
⚠️
You value the roofing-specific community. Roofr hosts regular Masterclass webinars, has a dedicated roofing contractor user base of 12,000+ companies, and provides roofing-industry onboarding. That community and training ecosystem has genuine value for contractors who prioritize peer learning.

The primary reasons to stay on Roofr are Xactimate ESX export and ABC Supply integration. Those are genuine product advantages for insurance restoration contractors. For metal roofing contractors who do primarily retail residential work — standing seam, corrugated, and premium installations — QuoteIQ Elite delivers significantly more operational tools at the same base price with no per-report measurement charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roofr vs QuoteIQ for Metal Roofing — Answered

Is QuoteIQ better than Roofr for metal roofing contractors?

For retail residential metal roofing — standing seam installations, corrugated panel jobs, and premium copper or zinc roofing — QuoteIQ Elite delivers significantly more operational tools at the same base price ($299/mo). QuoteIQ includes unlimited satellite measurements, route optimization, GPS fleet tracking, inventory management, before-and-after AI photos, automated review collection, mass campaigns, customer self-quoting, and customer self-scheduling. Roofr charges $13 per measurement report on top of the subscription and does not offer most of those features. However, if you primarily write Xactimate estimates on insurance restoration jobs, Roofr’s ESX export is a genuine advantage QuoteIQ does not currently match.

How much does Roofr really cost per month for a metal roofing business?

Roofr Scale costs $299/mo as the base subscription. Each measurement report is $13 on top of that. At 30 reports per month, measurement costs alone add $390/mo. If you add the Instant Estimator ($149/mo), route optimization (~$105/mo via third-party), GPS tracking (~$60/mo), inventory management (~$67/mo), and email marketing (~$50/mo), the true monthly cost exceeds $1,100. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo with all of those features included natively and unlimited satellite measurements.

Does Roofr have a mobile app?

As of June 2026, Roofr does not have a dedicated native mobile app. Contractors use Roofr through a mobile browser, which multiple reviewers on Capterra have noted feels limited for field use. QuoteIQ has a fully native iOS and Android app with offline capability, available on every plan.

Can Roofr handle route optimization for metal roofing installation crews?

No. Roofr does not offer route optimization as a native feature or through any integrated add-on. Metal roofing contractors with multiple crews running standing seam, re-roof, and repair jobs across a service area need a third-party tool like OptimoRoute (~$35/vehicle/mo). QuoteIQ includes AI-optimized route planning on Elite with no per-vehicle fees.

Does Roofr integrate with QuickBooks?

Roofr has a limited QuickBooks integration that multiple G2 reviewers describe as partial and the most-requested improvement. Full two-way accounting sync is not yet available. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on Pro and above with automated invoice and payment syncing.

How much does it cost to add measurement report capability on Roofr?

Roofr measurement reports cost $13 per report on any paid subscription plan ($19/report on the free Starter plan). These charges are pay-as-you-go and are billed on top of your monthly subscription. At 50 reports per month on a paid plan, that is $650/mo in report costs alone — before your Scale subscription of $299/mo. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro provides unlimited satellite measurements included on every plan starting at $29.99/mo.

Can I offer material-tier pricing (standing seam vs. corrugated vs. copper) on Roofr?

Roofr’s proposal builder supports creating options within proposals, but it does not offer a homeowner-facing self-quoting tool where customers can independently select material tiers and receive instant pricing. That capability requires the Instant Estimator add-on at $149/mo. QuoteIQ’s InstaQuote lets homeowners select their material type, panel profile, and gauge — and receive an instant price — 24/7 without contractor involvement, included on Elite.

Does QuoteIQ offer Xactimate integration for insurance restoration work?

No. QuoteIQ does not currently offer Xactimate ESX export. If your metal roofing business runs primarily on insurance restoration claims and you write Xactimate estimates daily, Roofr’s Verisk-certified ESX export at $10/report is a genuine advantage. For retail residential metal roofing contractors, this is typically not a factor.

Can I track metal roofing material inventory in Roofr?

Roofr offers material ordering through supplier integrations (including ABC Supply), but does not provide stock-level inventory tracking across jobs. Metal roofing contractors tracking standing seam panel counts, ridge cap inventory, flashing stock, and fastener quantities need a third-party inventory tool. QuoteIQ includes full inventory management on Elite — track materials by job, set reorder alerts, and monitor stock levels from the app.

What QuoteIQ plan is best for metal roofing contractors?

QuoteIQ Elite at $299/mo is the recommended plan for metal roofing contractors with 2–7 crew members. It includes MapMeasure Pro (unlimited satellite roof measurement with pitch adjustment), InstaQuote (material-tier self-quoting), InstaSchedule (customer self-booking), Route Optimization, EmployeeHub (GPS tracking), Inventory Management, Before & After AI, Mass Campaigns, Pipelines & Deals, and Review Multiplier. For larger operations with unlimited users, QuoteIQ Max is $699/mo.

Is Roofr only for roofing? What if I also do siding or gutter work?

Roofr is built exclusively for roofing. If your metal roofing business also handles siding installation, gutter work, or other exterior trades, you would need a separate platform for those services. QuoteIQ supports 50+ industries on every plan — you can manage metal roofing, siding, gutters, and painting projects from one account with trade-specific pricing for each.

How do I switch from Roofr to QuoteIQ?

Start a 14-day free trial on any plan. Export your customer list and job data from Roofr as CSV. Upload the CSV into QuoteIQ — the AI Smart Import tool maps your fields automatically. Set up your metal roofing price book with material-tier pricing. You can run both platforms in parallel during the trial to confirm QuoteIQ meets your needs before canceling Roofr.
