BetterRoofing vs Hover

BetterRoofing or Hover?

They do different jobs. Hover measures the house in 3D from phone photos so you can write an accurate estimate and order material. BetterRoofing gives homeowners a ballpark on your website so they reach out in the first place. Plenty of roofers use both.

Short answer

What you're actually comparing

Hover is a measurement and estimating tool. You or the homeowner scan the house with a phone, and Hover builds a 3D model with measurements. On paid plans you get designs, production-ready estimates, agreements and direct material ordering.

Hover's Starter plan is pay per project, with the first three free. Pro is $999/yr and Business is $2,999/yr, each with discounted per-project pricing. A homeowner-facing embed for your website (Hover Design Embed) is on the Enterprise plan.

BetterRoofing works before the appointment: a homeowner types their address on your website, gets a range priced from your rates, and the lead lands on your jobs board with the roof details. $99/mo flat, no per-project fees.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use BetterRoofing and Hover together?

How much does Hover cost?

+

On October 25, 2026, Hover's pricing page listed Starter as pay per project (exterior projects from $59 to $139 depending on complexity, first three free), Pro at $999/yr and Business at $2,999/yr with lower per-project pricing, and Enterprise as custom. Check Hover directly for current pricing.

Is the BetterRoofing estimate as accurate as Hover?

No, and it isn't meant to be. BetterRoofing gives a range from aerial data and your rates, and every estimate says final pricing follows an inspection. Hover's 3D model is what you'd use to price and order the actual job.
