The short version
Which one fits
When Hover fits
Hover fits if you are on site anyway and want a 3D model of the whole exterior, or exports such as ESX and DWG.
When RoofCalc fits
RoofCalc fits if you want roof area, facet count and complexity from an address before you drive out, and you check the roof on site before ordering materials. Start on the Free plan; paid plans open soon.

Where RoofCalc is different
Measured from the address. No order to place, no roof to draw, no site visit. You get roof area, facets and complexity in the app.
How it worksRoof data on paid plans, a fallback on every plan. Paid plans try Google Solar building data first, which includes the sloped roof segments and their pitch. Every plan falls back to OpenStreetMap building footprints. Solar results from leaf-on (summer) imagery are skipped in favour of the fallback.
How it worksOne monthly price. Contractor Pro is $49 a month for 100 measurements, not a fee per report. If you use all 100, that is $0.49 a measurement. Paid plans are not on sale yet.
RoofCalc pricingA free plan to try it. Free: 2 measurements when you sign up, from OpenStreetMap building footprints.

Not for every job. RoofCalc gives you roof area, facet count and complexity from an address, which is useful before you bid or visit. It does not export PDF or ESX files, has no native app and no integrations yet, and nobody reviews the result, so check the roof on site before you order materials.
Is RoofCalc affiliated with Hover?
No. Hover is a trademark of its owner, and RoofCalc is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Hover. RoofCalc is made by Harmony AI Technologies.
