Hover builds an interactive 3D model of a house from smartphone photos, with measurements for roofs, walls, gutters and windows. Starter has no subscription: you pay per project, the first 3 are free, and a roof-only project costs $29 to $69 depending on complexity, while a full exterior model runs $59 to $139. Pro costs $999 a year, takes $20 off every project, speeds up delivery and unlocks Hover Design, estimates with your logo, side-by-side options, production-ready material lists with waste, labor and fees, and CRM integrations. Business, at $2,999 a year, charges one flat rate per project type and supports up to 10 branches. Every tier can send data to Verisk or Cotality and invite homeowners to scan their own homes. Hover is less of a job manager than Roofr or AccuLynx, and the annual Pro fee makes sense only for teams doing steady volume.
Who it is for
Roofing and exterior contractors who want measurements and design visuals from a phone scan.
Price
Starter pays per project, roof-only from $29; Pro $999 per year for discounted projects and estimates.
