Roof pitch drives your material count, your labor hours and your safety plan, so where it enters your software matters. We compared 10 platforms on how pitch gets captured, whether it reaches the estimate, what it costs and where each tool stops.
The best CRM with roof pitch measurement for contractors in 2026 is QuoteIQ. Its MapMeasure Pro tool traces a roof on satellite imagery, auto-detects roof segments from Google’s Solar data, shows each segment’s pitch, and saves the result to the customer record and the estimate. Roof & Pitch Measurement starts on the $99.99 Beginner plan. Roofr and AccuLynx are the strongest roofing-only alternatives, and both bring pitch in through ordered aerial reports. ServiceTitan, Leap, JobNimbus and Jobber connect to outside measurement providers instead of measuring in the app. RoofSnap is a measurement-first app where you enter pitch yourself.

Pitch is the rise of a roof for every 12 inches of horizontal run, so a 6/12 roof climbs six inches for every foot. It sounds like a footnote, but it changes three numbers on every roofing job: the surface area you buy materials for, the labor you price and the safety plan you bring.
Area comes first. A roof is always larger than the footprint underneath it, and the gap grows with the slope. Multiply the footprint by 1.054 for a 4/12 roof, 1.118 for 6/12, 1.202 for 8/12 and 1.414 for 12/12. On a 2,000 square foot footprint, that is the difference between about 21 squares at 4/12 and 24 squares at 8/12, before waste. Miss the pitch and the material order is wrong on day one.
Safety planning is the second reason. Under OSHA’s construction standard, a low-slope roof has a slope of 4 in 12 or less, and a steep roof is anything above 4 in 12 (29 CFR 1926.500(b)). The line matters because the fall-protection rules differ on each side of it. On low-slope roofs the standard allows a warning line system alongside other protections, while on steep roofs it requires guardrail systems with toeboards, safety nets or personal fall arrest systems (29 CFR 1926.501(b)).
Labor is the third. Steeper roofs generally mean slower tear-off and installation, more staging and more safety equipment, and crews price that in. A quote built from a flat footprint number and a guess at the slope is a quote waiting for a change order.
One practical wrinkle is units. Roofers talk in rise over 12, while Google’s Solar API, which QuoteIQ’s roof detection builds on, returns pitch in degrees (building insights reference). Here is how the two line up.
| Pitch (rise over 12) | Degrees | Roof area vs. footprint |
|---|---|---|
| 4/12 | 18.4° | 1.054× |
| 6/12 | 26.6° | 1.118× |
| 8/12 | 33.7° | 1.202× |
| 12/12 | 45.0° | 1.414× |
For slope limits on a specific roof system, the manufacturer’s installation instructions and your local code govern. The NRCA roofing guidelines library and the ARMA guide for professionals are the industry references to start from.
We’re QuoteIQ. We made this list. We also picked our own platform as #1, and here is exactly why, along with the trade-offs every tool on this list brings. Five criteria drove each ranking:
Everything here is documentation-based: vendor pricing pages, help-center articles and product announcements we read in October 2026. We did not run hands-on tests of every competitor, and where a vendor’s page does not say how pitch is handled, we say so instead of guessing. Verify before you buy.
Two scope notes. FieldEdge and Workiz are broad-market service platforms we usually include, but our searches turned up no roof-measurement workflow in either vendor’s documentation, so they sit outside this list. EagleView and Hover are measurement providers rather than CRMs, so they appear below as integrations instead of ranked entries.
“Most contractors price by feel or by what they think the market will accept.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
That is the problem measuring solves. Pitch is a number you can know, so it should never be a number you guess.
QuoteIQ keeps the whole pitch workflow in one app: it detects roof segments, calculates pitch, builds the estimate and sends the invoice. Roof & Pitch Measurement lives inside MapMeasure Pro, the satellite map screen in the QuoteIQ app. You search the address, trace the roof, and the tool returns the dimensions along with the pitch. The Spring 2026 update connected the map to Google’s Solar API, which detects roof segments automatically and color-codes them by pitch, and the Roof Details panel shows each segment’s pitch in degrees.
What happens after the measurement is where a CRM earns its keep. The measurement saves to the customer profile and exports into the quote, and a screenshot of the traced roof attaches to the estimate or invoice. An August 2026 update added historical map imagery, so you can scroll back through years of aerial photos and see whether a roof has already been replaced or patched before you quote it. Pitch is calculated, displayed and saved with the measurement, so the labor line can reflect it from the first bid instead of in a change order.
Measuring runs on IQ Credits, the monthly allowance bundled with every plan: 1,500 on Beginner, 3,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Elite and 8,000 on Max. AI AutoMeasure, the one-tap roof, lawn and paved-surface detection, costs 100 IQ Credits per completed measurement, and one IQ Credit is worth one US cent. If you spent a plan’s whole allowance on AutoMeasure alone, Beginner would cover 15 measurements a month and Pro would cover 30. Credits also fund other AI features, so treat those numbers as a ceiling, not a promise.
Best for: Solo roofers and small crews who also quote other exterior work, and multi-trade contractors who want one app for measuring, estimating, scheduling and invoicing.
“Break it into what you know and what you’re estimating.”
— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
Roof pitch belongs in the first column of that sentence. It is a number you can measure, which leaves your estimating judgment for the parts of the job that really are unknown.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: If you want pitch measured, saved and carried into the quote without a second vendor, QuoteIQ is the strongest fit on this list. Solo roofers and two-person crews usually start on Beginner ($99.99/mo, 2 users), four-person crews on Pro ($199.99/mo, 4 users), and growing teams on Elite ($299.99/mo, 10 users) or Max ($699.99/mo, 20 users).

Roofr’s pricing page describes each Roofr Report as “A detailed report including total squares, pitch, and edges (hips, valleys, ridges, flashing, etc).” That makes pitch a standard part of the deliverable instead of an add-on. You order a report for an address, it comes back with the measurements, and you build the estimate from there.
What you pay depends on the plan. The free Starter plan charges $19 per report with 24-hour delivery. Measure+ lists at $109/mo with $13 reports delivered in six hours. Essentials ($249/mo billed monthly, $209/mo billed yearly) and Scale ($349/mo monthly, $299/mo yearly) deliver $13 reports in about two hours. ESX files for estimating tools cost $12 on Starter and $10 on Measure+. The page also lists Measure+ at $109 to $169 in a comparison table and describes both unlimited users and a set number of users per plan, so confirm seats and price in a demo.
Best for: Roofing-only companies that want a free starting point and are comfortable paying per report.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A solid pick if ordered reports are how you want to measure. Over a full season, per-report fees can cost more than a tool that measures inside your plan, so run the numbers on your job volume.
AccuLynx orders aerial measurements inside the platform. Its roofing measurement page says you can “Order reports on any property from Eagleview or GAF QuickMeasure right from AccuLynx,” and the sections for both providers list “Length, area, pitch, and other measurement data.” Each provider’s integration has to be enabled in Account Settings before you can order.
If you prefer another measurement provider, the page says AccuLynx customers can use whatever aerial provider they like, though it describes that as importing an XML file into an estimate rather than a built-in integration. Pricing is not published. The AccuLynx pricing page points to a custom quote, and the pages we reviewed do not say what each report costs, so ask for that number in the demo.
Best for: Established roofing companies that want a roofing-only platform with ordered EagleView or GAF QuickMeasure reports.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A strong choice when you already run a roofing company and want a roofing-specific system. The tradeoff is price opacity and a second vendor for every measurement.
ServiceTitan documents pitch more precisely than most platforms. Its help article on creating estimates with EagleView explains that measurement data maps onto estimate fields through placeholders, including [Predominant Pitch], [Predominant Pitch Numerator], [PitchAreaSQ(x)] and [PitchAreaSqFt(x)]. The area-by-pitch placeholders let you group pitches, for example by totaling all 2/12 to 4/12 areas into one number of squares. Once EagleView completes an order, the measurements transfer to the Spec-Based Estimates form.
Technicians can order from the field. The mobile help article lists EagleView, GAF QuickMeasure and Hover as providers, requires the Order Measurements permission and an internet connection, and is available only to customers in the United States and Canada. ServiceTitan announced its EagleView integration on November 26, 2024. Pricing is custom and quoted per technician. The pricing page lists Starter, Essentials and The Works without dollar figures.
Best for: Large or multi-location operations with office staff who can configure the platform.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: The most thoroughly documented pitch workflow here, with the price and setup weight to match. It fits operations with the staff to run it. For smaller crews the cost-to-benefit ratio rarely works.
RoofSnap is built around measuring. Its overview of the app describes the remote workflow in steps that include “You draw the roof lines and add pitch values in the app.” Pitch here is something you enter, not something the software detects, so accuracy depends on the person drawing.
The pricing page is straightforward. Pay-as-you-go is $13 per measurement report order with no subscription. Subscriptions start at $105 per user per month billed monthly, which includes 5 HD roof images a month and unlimited draw-it-yourself measurements. Annual plans run $78 per user per month for 2 to 4 users, $61 for 5 to 9 users and $52 for 10 or more. Reports cost less for subscribers: a Half Snap is $13 pay-as-you-go and $10 on a subscription, while Full Snap reports run $35 to $55 pay-as-you-go and $11 to $37 on a subscription.
Best for: Roofers who want to draw their own measurements and control the numbers, with the option to buy a report when they need one.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A good fit for estimators who like to trace their own roofs and want a low-commitment way to buy reports. Teams that want measuring and the rest of the job in one system should look higher on the list.
Leap markets a CRM for roofing and remodeling, and its own roof estimating software guide says users can “order aerial measurements from Eagleview, Hover, or GAF QuickMeasure directly inside the job record.” Neither that guide nor the pages we reviewed explain how pitch is handled once a report comes back, so ask to see a pitch field in your demo.
Leap’s pricing page publishes starting prices. Essential is $79/month for a single user and includes a 14-day free trial. Team starts at $298/month, includes the first user, and charges $99/month for each additional user. Premium starts at $750/month and includes 6 users, and Enterprise is listed as contact sales. The page also states that all Leap plans are available in one-year contracts paid monthly.
Best for: Sales-led roofing and remodeling teams that want to order measurements from the job record.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Worth a demo if your team sells roofing and remodeling together and wants measurements ordered from the CRM. Check the contract term and the cost of added users against your crew size.
JobNimbus’s measurements page says “JobNimbus integrates seamlessly with industry-leading roof measurement apps like EagleView” and that it “easily integrates with other popular roofing tools like Hover.” Its feature list includes “Order precise roof measurements for any job.” The page does not mention roof pitch, so ask how pitch values arrive on the job and whether they populate estimate fields.
JobNimbus does not publish prices. Its pricing page shows Essentials (up to 3 users), Pro (up to 10), Premium (up to 19) and Enterprise (20 or more), with a Request pricing button on each. The product menu also lists supplier integrations with ABC Supply, QXO and SRS, which matter if material ordering is part of how your crews work.
Best for: Roofing contractors who want project management, supplier connections and ordered measurements in one platform.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: A credible roofing project platform with the right measurement partners. Confirm pitch handling and total cost, including provider fees, before you commit.
Jobber’s October 14, 2025 product update says “Eagleview reports are now available directly in Jobber” and that the feature is “Available in Canada and the United States on a Connect or higher plan.” The announcement does not state a per-report price and does not mention pitch, so ask what a report costs and which fields it fills.
Jobber publishes pricing on its pricing page. Core is $49/mo billed monthly or $29/mo billed annually for 1 user. Connect starts at $139/mo monthly or $99/mo annually for 1 user, and $199 or $149 for 5 users. Grow runs from $199/$149 for 1 user to $299/$229 for 5 users, and Plus starts at $499/$399 for 5 users. Extra users cost $29/mo each.
Best for: General service contractors that quote some roofing work and already like Jobber’s interface.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Fine if Jobber is already your system and roofing is a side of the business. Roofing-first crews will want deeper measurement and proposal tools.
RoofLink is a roofing CRM, and its Capterra listing credits it with “Aerial Measurement: Take aerial view measurements of properties and create estimates using tools like Google Maps, etc.” and a Hover integration. The listing does not mention roof pitch. It names EagleView in its description but not in its integration list, so treat that connection as unconfirmed.
Capterra shows a starting price of $120 per user per month on a Basic plan, with no free trial and no free version. We could not load RoofLink’s own site, so every detail in this entry comes from that third-party listing and should be confirmed with the vendor before you rely on it.
Best for: Roofing sales and production teams that want aerial measuring and takeoff tools in a roofing CRM.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Worth a look for roofing-only teams, but verify the pitch workflow and the integrations directly. The evidence behind this entry is thinner than for the tools above it.
Housecall Pro is a widely used home service platform, and we include it because many roofers already run on it. Its integrations page lists accounting, financing, marketing, reviews, communication and field-operations apps, including CompanyCam, but it shows no EagleView, Hover, Roofr or RoofSnap connection and no roof measurement app. That means roof pitch would have to be measured in a separate tool and keyed into the estimate.
Pricing is published on its pricing page. Basic is $59/mo billed annually or $79 monthly for 1 user. Essentials is $149 or $189 for up to 5 users. Max is $299 or $329 for up to 8 users, with extra Max users at $35/mo each.
Best for: Home service teams already on Housecall Pro that measure roofs with a separate tool.
Pros
Cons
Verdict: Fine if you are already a Housecall Pro shop. It ranks last here because pitch measurement has to come from outside the platform.

Roofing is a large, steady trade, and the math behind pitch is simple but unforgiving. A handful of numbers show why measuring it properly matters.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 166,900 roofers in 2025, reports median pay of $55,440 in May 2025, and projects employment to grow 5 percent from 2025 to 2035 (BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook). The 1.118 multiplier is the square root of one plus the square of the slope, where slope is rise divided by run. Google’s Solar API documentation lists three imagery quality tiers: HIGH at 0.1 m/pixel from low-altitude aerial imagery, MEDIUM at 0.25 m/pixel from high-altitude aerial imagery and BASE at 0.25 m/pixel from satellite imagery (Solar API coverage). Finer imagery generally supports finer roof detail, which is why imagery-based pitch deserves a site check on steep or complicated roofs.
The right tool depends on how many roofs you measure, how many people touch the estimate and what else you quote. Here is how we would match seven common situations.
You need measuring, quoting and invoicing on a phone, without a second subscription. QuoteIQ Beginner ($99.99/mo, 2 users, 1,500 IQ Credits) puts Roof & Pitch Measurement, estimates and invoices in one app, so you can trace the roof at the address and send the number before you leave. If you quote only a few roofs a month, RoofSnap’s $13 pay-as-you-go reports keep the commitment small, though you will enter pitch values yourself.
More people means more estimates in flight and more reasons to keep pitch attached to the customer record. QuoteIQ Pro ($199.99/mo, 4 users, 3,000 IQ Credits) is the natural step up. Roofr is the roofing-only alternative if you want ordered reports, and the math is worth running: thirty reports a month at $13 adds $390 to a subscription, while thirty AutoMeasure runs would use Pro’s entire 3,000 IQ Credit allowance. What matters is how many roofs you measure and what else your credits fund.
You probably want supplier connections, production tracking and a roofing-first system. AccuLynx and JobNimbus are built for that, and both order measurements from outside providers. Ask each to show a pitch value arriving on a job and flowing into an estimate line. QuoteIQ Elite ($299.99/mo, 10 users, 5,000 IQ Credits) is the option if you would rather measure inside the app and keep estimating, scheduling and invoicing together.
If you already quote gutters, siding, windows or paving, a roofing-only platform means a second system. QuoteIQ covers more than 50 trades, and the same map that measures a roof also measures lawns and paved surfaces. If you already live in Jobber, its EagleView reports are available on Connect plans and up, from $99/mo billed yearly, but the announcement we reviewed does not describe how pitch is handled, so ask.
Scale changes the question from which tool measures pitch to which tool your office can configure and govern. ServiceTitan has the most detailed pitch documentation we found, with placeholders that feed spec-based estimates, and its pricing is custom per technician. QuoteIQ Max ($699.99/mo, 20 users, 8,000 IQ Credits) is the in-app alternative for teams that want one price and one app instead of a larger implementation.
Speed decides who wins the first conversation. Ordered reports arrive in anywhere from about two hours to a day on Roofr, depending on the plan, which is slow when a homeowner is already talking to a competitor. Measuring in the app lets you search the address, trace the roof and give a defensible ballpark on the spot. Confirm pitch on site before you order materials, especially on steep or shaded roofs.
Start with the lowest-commitment options. Roofr’s free Starter plan charges $19 per report, RoofSnap sells reports at $13 with no subscription, and every QuoteIQ plan carries a 14-day free trial. Pick three addresses you already know, including one steep or complex roof, run them through each tool and compare the pitch values with what your crew measured. Ten minutes of testing beats an hour of feature comparison.
Software only helps if the habit sticks. This five-step routine works whichever tool you choose.
Decide where pitch will enter your system. Choose whether you will measure in the app, order a report from a provider or type the value in yourself. Measuring in the app is fastest, ordered reports bring a provider’s data, and manual entry gives you control at the cost of speed. Write the choice down so every estimator follows the same process.
Trace the roof and record pitch for each segment. In QuoteIQ, open MapMeasure Pro, search the address and trace the roof, or let the Google Solar detection find the segments. Read each segment’s pitch in the Roof Details panel, remembering that Google reports degrees while roofers talk in rise over 12. Save the measurement to the customer profile so it stays with the job.
Spot-check pitch on steep, shaded or complex roofs. Imagery-based pitch is a strong starting point, not a guarantee. On roofs with many facets, heavy tree cover or recent repairs, confirm at least one or two segments on site with a level and a tape. If your check differs from the software, trust the site measurement and note the difference.
Carry pitch into the estimate. Apply the area multiplier for the pitch, price labor for the slope and add the safety equipment the roof requires. In QuoteIQ the measurement exports into the quote, and a screenshot of the traced roof can attach to the estimate or invoice so the customer sees what you priced.
Compare estimates with actual jobs and refine. After each job, compare the pitch-based labor and material numbers with what the crew really used. If steep roofs consistently run over budget, raise your slope-based labor rates. Over a season, those comparisons turn pitch from a measurement into a pricing advantage.
“Keeps me from having to go out to every location to take measurements, get an estimate and call the customer with a price that they still might not accept.”
“What sold me on this app was the ability to measure square footage by drawing lines.”
“It really helps me save time and work more efficiently while on the go.”
These are five-star reviews from QuoteIQ users who mention measuring with the app. None of the reviewers is identified as a roofer and none mentions pitch, so read them as feedback on the measuring workflow rather than on pitch accuracy.
QuoteIQ’s two co-founders write about pricing, estimating and running a service business, and the opinions on this page come from that operator point of view.
Mike co-founded QuoteIQ in 2022 after running multi-trade service businesses. His YouTube channel (580K+ subscribers) covers field service operations, pricing, and contractor business strategy.
Read Mike’s insights →Justin co-founded QuoteIQ alongside Mike. As the operator behind the ForeverSelfEmployed YouTube channel (743K+ subscribers), he’s built and scaled service businesses across multiple verticals.
Read Justin’s insights →QuoteIQ is our top pick because it measures pitch inside the app instead of sending you to a second vendor. MapMeasure Pro traces the roof on satellite imagery, uses Google’s Solar data to detect roof segments, shows each segment’s pitch and saves the result to the customer record and the estimate. Roofr and AccuLynx are the strongest roofing-only alternatives if you prefer ordered aerial reports, and ServiceTitan has the most detailed documentation of how pitch values feed estimate fields. We are QuoteIQ, so weigh our ranking accordingly and run the same address through two or three tools before you commit.
They use one of three routes. Some measure in the app: QuoteIQ traces the roof on satellite imagery and reads pitch from Google’s Solar data. Some order a report from a measurement provider and attach it to the job: AccuLynx, ServiceTitan, Leap, JobNimbus and Jobber work this way through providers such as EagleView, GAF QuickMeasure or Hover, and Roofr sells its own reports. Others let you draw the roof and type the pitch yourself, which is how RoofSnap describes its remote workflow. Measuring in the app draws on your plan’s IQ Credits rather than a per-report fee, while reports bring a provider’s data and a separate charge.
A few options have a free entry point, but none is fully free once you measure real roofs. Roofr offers a free Starter plan, and its reports cost $19 each there, with pitch listed in every report. RoofSnap has a pay-as-you-go option with no subscription at $13 per measurement report. QuoteIQ includes a 14-day free trial on every plan, and Roof and Pitch Measurement is available on Beginner and above, so the trial lets you test the full measuring workflow on your own addresses before you pay. Leap’s Essential plan also lists a 14-day free trial.
Published starting prices on this list vary widely. QuoteIQ plans run from $29.99 to $699.99 a month, and roof pitch measurement starts on Beginner at $99.99. Roofr is free on Starter and $249 a month on Essentials billed monthly, plus $13 to $19 per report. Leap starts at $79 a month, Jobber at $49 a month billed monthly with EagleView reports on Connect plans from $139, and RoofSnap subscriptions at $105 per user per month. AccuLynx, ServiceTitan and JobNimbus do not publish prices. Provider report fees are extra on most of these tools, so price the subscription and the per-roof cost together.
Yes. Roof and Pitch Measurement is part of MapMeasure Pro, the satellite map screen in the QuoteIQ app. You search the address, trace the roof, and the tool returns dimensions along with pitch. Since the Spring 2026 update the map connects to Google’s Solar API, which detects roof segments automatically and color-codes them by pitch, and the Roof Details panel shows each segment’s pitch in degrees. The measurement saves to the customer profile and exports into the quote, and a screenshot of the traced roof can attach to the estimate or invoice. It is available on Beginner and above.
Roof and Pitch Measurement starts on the Beginner plan because it lives inside MapMeasure Pro. Beginner is $99.99 a month for 2 users and 1,500 IQ Credits, Pro is $199.99 for 4 users and 3,000 credits, Elite is $299.99 for 10 users and 5,000 credits, and Max is $699.99 for 20 users and 8,000 credits. The $29.99 Essentials plan does not include it. Annual billing gives two months free, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial. Measuring draws on your monthly IQ Credits, so a heavy measuring month uses more of the allowance. Check the pricing page for current rates.
Roofers state pitch as rise over a 12-inch run, so 6/12 means the roof rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance. Software built on mapping data, including Google’s Solar API, often reports pitch in degrees instead. To convert, take the arctangent of the rise divided by 12. A 4/12 pitch is 18.4 degrees, 6/12 is 26.6 degrees, 8/12 is 33.7 degrees and 12/12 is 45 degrees. Always confirm which unit a tool is showing before you copy a number into an estimate, because a degree value typed in as rise over 12 would be badly wrong.
Pitch changes area, labor and safety planning. A sloped roof has more surface than its footprint, so multiply the footprint by 1.054 at 4/12, 1.118 at 6/12, 1.202 at 8/12 and 1.414 at 12/12. On a 2,000 square foot footprint that is about 21 squares at 4/12 and 24 squares at 8/12 before waste. Steeper roofs generally take longer to tear off and install and call for more staging and fall protection, which contractors price into labor. Capturing pitch at measurement time lets the area and labor lines reflect it from the first quote instead of a change order.
It depends on who is drawing the line. OSHA’s construction fall-protection standard defines a low-slope roof as one with a slope of 4 in 12 or less and a steep roof as one above 4 in 12, which changes which protection systems apply. Manufacturers, building codes and individual contractors set their own thresholds for materials and pricing, so check the installation instructions for your product and your local code. A CRM that stores pitch with the job lets you apply your own rules, such as a labor surcharge above a certain pitch, consistently on every quote.
Several roofing and field service platforms support it. AccuLynx lets you order EagleView or GAF QuickMeasure reports from the property record. ServiceTitan supports EagleView, GAF QuickMeasure and Hover, including ordering from the mobile app in the United States and Canada. Leap lists EagleView, Hover and GAF QuickMeasure, JobNimbus integrates with EagleView and Hover, and Jobber offers EagleView reports on Connect plans and above. Report fees go to the provider on top of your subscription. QuoteIQ takes a different route and measures inside MapMeasure Pro, so a standard trace does not require ordering a separate report.
For many first quotes, a remote measurement is a useful starting point, but it does not replace confirming the roof before you order materials. Pitch taken from imagery or a report can be off on steep, shaded or complex roofs with many facets, and recent repairs may not show up. Check at least one or two segments on site with a level and a tape, compare the result with the CRM and adjust the estimate if they differ. Remote measuring still pays off by letting you screen jobs, give a ballpark before the visit and arrive knowing what to look at.
That depends on the plan and on what else you spend credits on. AI AutoMeasure, the one-tap roof, lawn and paved-surface detection, costs 100 IQ Credits per completed measurement. If you used a plan’s whole monthly allowance on AutoMeasure alone, Beginner’s 1,500 credits would cover 15 measurements, Pro’s 3,000 would cover 30, Elite’s 5,000 would cover 50 and Max’s 8,000 would cover 80. Credits also power other AI features, so treat those figures as a ceiling. Ask for the current credit cost of the Roof and Pitch tool in a demo, since credit rates can change.
Yes. Export your data from Jobber as a CSV file and upload it to the Imports hub in QuoteIQ’s Settings. AI maps your columns to QuoteIQ fields, you can review and correct the mapping, and a preview with duplicate flagging helps you catch problems before anything lands. The hub covers contacts, services, estimates, invoices and jobs, and services imported from Jobber have a dedicated path. If you would rather not do it yourself, Done-For-You setup is available as a one-time service at $299.99 or $999.99 depending on the tier.
Yes. QuoteIQ serves more than 50 trades, and the same MapMeasure Pro map that measures a roof also measures lawns, driveways and other paved surfaces, so a roofing lead that turns into a gutter, driveway or patio quote does not need another tool. Estimates, proposals, e-signatures, scheduling and invoicing run in the same app, and you can keep a services list with your own pricing for each type of work. That breadth helps if your crews quote several exterior jobs at the same property.
Solo roofers usually want one low-cost tool that measures, quotes and invoices from a phone. QuoteIQ’s Beginner plan at $99.99 a month fits that profile: it covers 2 users, includes MapMeasure Pro with roof pitch measurement and bundles 1,500 IQ Credits a month. If you quote only a few roofs a month and prefer to buy reports as needed, RoofSnap’s $13 pay-as-you-go reports or Roofr’s free Starter plan are lower-commitment starting points. Compare total monthly cost at your real job volume, not just the sticker price.
Accuracy depends on the imagery. Google’s Solar API, which QuoteIQ’s roof detection builds on, has three quality tiers: HIGH from low-altitude aerial imagery at 0.1 meters per pixel, MEDIUM from high-altitude aerial imagery at 0.25 meters per pixel and BASE from satellite imagery at 0.25 meters per pixel. Finer imagery generally supports finer roof detail, and Google notes that its coverage map is an approximation. Complex roofs, tree shade and very recent changes can all reduce precision. Treat imagery-based pitch as a strong estimate for quoting and confirm on site for steep or complicated roofs before you order materials.

Roof pitch is one of the few numbers in a roofing quote you can know instead of guess, and the best software makes it easy to capture, hard to lose and automatic to use. QuoteIQ earns the top spot because it does all three inside one app. It traces the roof, detects segments and pitch from Google’s Solar data, saves the result to the customer record and carries it into the estimate and invoice. Roof & Pitch Measurement starts on the Beginner plan at $99.99 a month, and measuring runs on the IQ Credits already bundled with your plan instead of a separate per-report invoice.
The rest of the list earns its place for specific reasons. Roofr and AccuLynx are the closest competitors for roofing-only teams that prefer ordered reports, and both list pitch in what they deliver. ServiceTitan is the most thoroughly documented for large operations with the staff to run it. RoofSnap suits estimators who like to draw their own measurements and pay per report. Leap, JobNimbus and Jobber connect to outside measurement providers, and RoofLink and Housecall Pro close the list because we found the thinnest evidence of pitch handling for them.
Whatever you choose, ask each vendor to show a pitch value arriving on a job and landing on an estimate line. That single demo tells you more than any feature list, including ours. Then confirm pitch on site for steep, shaded or complex roofs before you order materials.
Measurement is moving from something you order after a sale starts to something you do before the first call, and imagery keeps getting sharper. QuoteIQ is built for that shift: one app where the roof gets measured, the quote gets built and the invoice gets paid.
Trace a roof, read the pitch and send the estimate from one app.
