What drives the price
- Roof size and complexity tiers. EagleView, Hover, and RoofSnap price bigger or more complex roofs higher; flat-price providers (BidEngine $9, GAF from $18) charge the same regardless.
- Subscription and volume gates. The advertised low number often requires a commitment: Hover's $9 roof-only price needs the $999/yr Pro plan; Roofr's $13 rate needs a $109+/mo plan; EagleView's best listed prices need prepaid volume tiers.
- Report depth. A $13 RoofSnap Half Snap has perimeter, total area, and predominant pitch — enough to ballpark, not to order materials. Full measurement reports (facets, eaves, rakes, ridges, hips, valleys, pitch by facet) are what the bigger numbers buy.
- Speed fees. Hover charges $39 to expedite ($19 on Pro); Roofr's guaranteed 2-hour window comes via a $169/mo plan or higher. Providers with fast defaults (BidEngine ~30 min, GAF under 1 hr) don't charge separately for it.
- Add-ons. Roofr charges $10/report for ESX (Xactimate) files; GAF charges $10 for hail/wind history.

Why do roof report prices vary so much between providers?
Four reasons: roof size/complexity tiers (bigger roofs cost more at EagleView, Hover, and RoofSnap), subscription gates (the advertised price may require a monthly plan), report depth (basic-measurement products cost less than full takeoffs), and speed fees (guaranteed or expedited delivery is often a paid upgrade).
