What customers say.
GAF QuickMeasure
Strengths
- Lowest per-report price among major aerial-measurement vendors, starting at ~$18
- Sub-1-hour turnaround for single-family residential is consistently cited in vendor content and contractor reviews
- No subscription, no minimum, no GAF certification gate — fully pay-as-you-go
- Distribution-channel integration: reports orderable directly from Beacon PRO+, myABCsupply, and ServiceTitan
Tradeoffs
- No ESX export for Xactimate — a real dealbreaker for the >30%-insurance-restoration segment
- Measurement only — must be paired with a CRM/quoting tool to actually sell a job
- Prepaid-wallet billing requires loading funds in advance, which App Store reviewers flag as a minor friction
AccuLynx
Strengths
- Xactimate integration is the deepest in the category — auto-imports scope sheets and maps to estimates, the reason insurance-restoration shops standardize on AccuLynx
- 4.5/5 across 729+ Capterra reviews — strongest review volume of any platform here
- Direct supplier integrations with ABC Supply, Beacon, and SRS for in-app material ordering
- Support responsiveness frequently praised — reviewers cite reply times “within a minute or two”
Tradeoffs
- Mobile app is widely described in Capterra reviews as “exceedingly slow, buggy, and having a poor overall layout” — desktop-first design shows its age
- Aggressive annual price increases without commensurate features; add-ons (SmartDocs, texting, customer portal, analytics) layered on top
- “Closed garden” API limits custom fields and third-party integrations beyond the prebuilt list
