The RoofSnap Subscription Problem

RoofSnap's $13/report pay-as-you-go rate gives you the measurement report only — no estimates, no proposals, no material orders. To access those features, you need a subscription starting at $52–$105 per user per month. A 3-person crew on RoofSnap can cost $156–$315/month in subscription fees before ordering a single report. RoofRecon charges nothing until you order a report.

Cost Comparison — Reports Only

Subscription costs not included in RoofSnap column. Add $52–$105/user/month for platform access.
