What roofing software needs to do
Measure the roof from satellite or aerial imagery, or import reports from EagleView or Hover, so you are not climbing every roof to quote.
Price the whole system: shingles or metal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, decking allowances, tear-off and disposal.
Present options the homeowner can compare, with financing, and sign on the spot.
Order materials from the signed job, ideally straight to ABC Supply, SRS or QXO.
Measurement reports are usually paid per report, so check what each report costs on the plan you would use, not only the monthly fee.

How to choose roofing software
Quote a roof you just finished in each tool, measurement to signed proposal, and time it.
Price the measurements: multiply the per-report fee by the roofs you quote a month.
Check supplier ordering with the yard you actually use.
Look past roofing if you also sell siding, windows or gutters: can one estimate cover the whole exterior?

Frequently asked questions
What is the best roofing software for a small roofing company?
Roofr is the best all-round choice for most small roofing companies, with measurement reports, proposals, a CRM and a free plan. RoofSnap suits solo roofers, and Bolster suits roofers who also sell siding and exterior work with good-better-best options.
What are the best Roofr alternatives?
AccuLynx for larger roofing companies, JobNimbus for a CRM-led workflow, Leap for in-home sales, RoofSnap for solo roofers and small crews, and Bolster for roofing and siding contractors who want live local pricing and option-based proposals.
Which roofing software includes measurements?
Roofr and RoofSnap sell their own measurement reports. AccuLynx and JobNimbus order reports from EagleView, Hover and others. Bolster lets you measure on satellite imagery in Takeoff and imports Hover measurements.
How much does roofing software cost?
Roofr has a free plan and paid plans from $95 a month billed annually, RoofSnap starts at $52 per user a month on annual plans for larger teams, and Leap starts at $79 a month on a one-year contract. AccuLynx and JobNimbus are quote only. Measurement reports are usually extra.
Can roofing software handle siding and gutters too?
Most roofing tools are roofing-first. If you quote whole exteriors, check that one estimate can hold roofing, siding, gutters and trim; Bolster and Leap are built for that mix.
How we put this together: Bolster makes one of the products on this list, so we have tried hard to be fair to the others. Each vendor's price comes from its own pricing page on the date above, and features come from the vendors' own websites and help centres. We list each tool for the kind of contractor it suits best rather than ranking them, because the right choice depends on your trade, team size and how you sell. Prices change; check the vendor's site before you buy. Spot something out of date? Email support@bolsterbuilt.com and we will fix it.
