Three Tools, Three Different Approaches
If you're a roofing company looking for automated roof measurement and estimating tools, you've probably come across three names: EagleView, SkyQuote, and RoofQuote.
They all measure roofs. But they solve fundamentally different problems. Here's the honest breakdown — including where our own product (RoofQuote) fits and where it doesn't.

EagleView: The Industry Standard for Measurements
What it is: EagleView is the established leader in roof measurement reports. They use high-resolution aerial imagery and proprietary algorithms to deliver extremely accurate measurements.
Best for: Final bids, insurance documentation, and detailed takeoffs where ±1-2% accuracy matters.
Limitations: Not a lead generation tool — homeowners never see it. Per-report pricing adds up. Manual ordering process — not instant.
SkyQuote: Website Estimates
What it is: SkyQuote offers a website widget that lets homeowners get instant roof estimates. Similar concept to RoofQuote.
Best for: Roofing companies wanting to add instant quoting to their website.
Limitations: Limited CRM integration compared to RoofQuote. No branded PDF report generation. Pricing starts higher ($99+/month). No free trial.
RoofQuote: Lead Generation First
What it is: RoofQuote is our own product. It's designed first and foremost as a lead generation tool that happens to measure roofs.
What it does well:
- 92 million building footprints — covers virtually every residential address in the US and Canada
- Lead capture — name, email, phone, address, and material preference delivered to your CRM instantly
- Branded PDF reports — professional estimate documents with your logo and branding
- CRM integration — GoHighLevel, Jobber, and email out of the box
- Affordable — $59/month or $1,500 lifetime
- 14-day free trial — test it before you commit
Which Tool Should You Use?
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| "I need more leads from my website" | RoofQuote — lead capture is the primary purpose |
| "I need accurate measurements for bids" | EagleView — industry-standard accuracy |
| "I want both lead capture and detailed measurements" | RoofQuote + EagleView — RoofQuote for the front end, EagleView for the back end |
| "I'm on a tight budget" | RoofQuote — $59/mo vs per-report pricing |
The Bottom Line
These tools solve different problems:
- EagleView is a measurement tool for contractors doing bids
- RoofQuote is a lead generation tool that happens to measure roofs
- SkyQuote is somewhere in between but hasn't gained significant market traction
If your problem is "I need more leads," RoofQuote is the answer. If your problem is "I need more accurate measurements," EagleView is the answer. Most successful roofing companies use one of each.
