Common questions about switching from HOVER.
Is SatelliteQuotes really cheaper than HOVER?
Yes — by an order of magnitude in most cases. HOVER pricing: Per-property pricing, $25–$95+ per model depending on tier. SatelliteQuotes: a flat $10/month for unlimited measurements, leads, and estimates. We focus on a tight feature set and pass the savings through.
Can I use both HOVER and SatelliteQuotes together?
Absolutely — many of our customers do. Use SatelliteQuotes as the customer-facing instant-quote layer on your website, then route the captured lead into HOVER (or any CRM) for the back-office workflow.
Is the satellite measurement as accurate as HOVER?
For most residential roofs, yes — within 5–8% of on-site measurements thanks to OpenStreetMap building footprints and high-resolution aerial imagery. HOVER may be more precise for insurance-claim work where every shingle counts; we recommend their reports for those edge cases.
Why would I switch from HOVER to SatelliteQuotes?
Most contractors don't switch — they add SatelliteQuotes to capture inbound web leads that HOVER doesn't see. HOVER is great for Multi-trade jobs (roof + siding + paint) that need exact 3D models. SatelliteQuotes is great for Roofers who want every website visitor to leave as a named lead.
