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.
