Side-by-side comparison
Roof Report 360 vs Hover
Roof Report 360 and Hover both produce property and roof measurement deliverables, but the products are designed around different workflows. Hover is built around capturing photos at the property to generate a 3D model. Roof Report 360 is built around aerial imagery you don't have to capture yourself — order an address, get a Xactimate-ready ESX back fast.

| Feature | Roof Report 360 | Hover |
|---|---|---|
| How measurements are captured | Aerial imagery — no site visit required | Photo capture at the property via mobile app |

| Turnaround time | Fast - standard roof reports average 4-6 hours, normally the same business day | Varies; depends on capture quality and product |
| Measurement output | Roof measurements: facets, pitch, squares, eaves, valleys, ridges, hips | Full-property 3D model including walls, roof, and exteriors |
| Output formats | PDF, ESX (Xactimate-ready), XML | PDF and ESX exports available depending on plan |
| Ease of use | Order online with an address — no app, no on-site capture | Requires someone on site with the mobile app to capture photos |

Key differences
Site visit vs. desktop ordering
Hover requires someone at the property to capture photos with the mobile app. Roof Report 360 uses aerial imagery, so you can order from your desk without dispatching anyone to the address.
Roof-focused vs. full exterior
Hover generates a full 3D model of the home, including walls and exteriors — useful when scoping siding, paint, or full restoration. Roof Report 360 is focused on roof measurements and ESX output for claim and roofing work.
Claim turnaround
Because Roof Report 360 doesn't require a capture step, the path from order to delivered ESX is shorter for most claim and roofing workflows.
Why users switch to Roof Report 360
- They don't want to send someone to the property just to get measurements.
- They primarily need roof measurements and ESX, not a full exterior 3D model.
- They want transparent per-report pricing instead of subscription tiers.
- They need consistent turnaround on claim documentation, with standard roof reports averaging 4-6 hours.
Use cases for each
Designed for: Insurance adjusters, restoration contractors, and roofing companies
Pick Roof Report 360
Pick Roof Report 360 if you need a roof measurement report ordered online from an address, delivered fast as PDF + ESX, with no on-site capture required.
Pick Hover
Pick Hover if your team is already at the property and you need a full 3D model of the entire exterior — including walls and siding — not just the roof.
Final verdict
Quick answer: Roof Report 360 wins on transparent flat-rate pricing and fast turnaround, with standard roof reports averaging 4-6 hours. Hover remains a strong fit for teams already standardized on its platform.
If your job is to turn a claim or a roofing lead into a Xactimate-ready ESX without sending anyone to the property, Roof Report 360 is the more direct fit. Hover is the better fit when a full-exterior 3D model is the actual deliverable and your team is already on site to capture photos.
