Subscription vs. pay-per-report
Subscription measurement apps charge $60–99 USD/month as a flat subscription. Roof Manager charges $8 CAD per report with no monthly minimum and a full CRM included free. For contractors with variable monthly volume — or who want a complete platform instead of just measurements — Roof Manager is the cheaper, more capable choice.

The full-platform advantage
Subscription measurement apps are measurements-first products. Roof Manager is a complete operations platform: pipeline management, invoicing, proposals, job scheduling, AI phone secretary, virtual roof try-on, and door-to-door manager — all in one place, with the measurements included. For most contractors, replacing 3–4 separate tools (measurements + CRM + invoicing + proposals) with Roof Manager saves more than the per-report cost difference alone.
Frequently asked questions
Are subscription measurement apps available in Canada?
Subscription measurement apps have limited Canadian coverage compared to US markets, and all pricing is in USD. Roof Manager was built with Canadian contractors as a primary market, offers native CAD pricing, and covers all Canadian provinces and territories.
How does subscription measurement app pricing compare to Roof Manager?
Subscription measurement apps charge $60–99 USD/month as a subscription. At 15 reports/month, that is $4–6.60 USD per report — seemingly cheaper than Roof Manager's $8 CAD ($5.90 USD), but subscription measurement apps do not include a full CRM, invoicing, or proposals. Roof Manager's full platform value is significantly higher.
Which roofing software handles Canadian GST/HST automatically?
Roof Manager natively calculates GST/HST/PST/QST for all Canadian provinces on every invoice and proposal. Subscription measurement apps do not support Canadian tax calculations and requires manual workarounds.
Does Roof Manager have better Canadian satellite coverage than subscription measurement apps?
Yes. Roof Manager uses Google's Solar API which provides the highest-quality publicly available satellite and LiDAR data for Canadian urban and suburban properties. Coverage includes all major Canadian cities and most suburban areas across every province.
What does Roof Manager include that subscription measurement apps do not?
Roof Manager includes a full CRM with pipeline management, invoicing, proposals, job tracking, AI phone secretary, virtual roof try-on, door-to-door manager, and team management — all in one platform. Subscription measurement apps focus on measurements only.
