What customers say.
RoofR
Strengths
- Pricing is fully published, including a permanently free Starter tier — rare in this category
- $13–$19 measurement reports with ~2-hour turnaround replace EagleView spend for many shops
- Strategic ABC Supply investment opens supply-chain depth no other roofing CRM has
- Ease of use is the most frequently cited praise across G2 and Capterra reviews
Tradeoffs
- QuickBooks integration is one-way; two-way sync is the single most-repeated reviewer complaint
- Production-side features (scheduling, crew dispatch, inventory) are thin and shops over ~25 employees often outgrow it
- Measurement accuracy has reported edge cases on flashing quantities and roof pitch, especially on complex roofs
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
