Everything AccuLynx does for the office — plus the hail map your crew works from
AccuLynx is the deepest back office in roofing and it has no storm data at all, so every storm company buying it buys a hail map subscription too, and a canvassing app after that. HailMate is the map, the door knock and the whole CRM on one published bill — from $79/mo.
One state, one user, everything included · $79/mo, cancel anytime
AccuLynx starts at the job. A storm season starts three weeks earlier.
By the time a job exists in AccuLynx, the decisions that made it profitable are already behind you: which storm to work, which streets took the core, which doors got knocked and in what order. AccuLynx has nothing to say about any of that. It has no hail data, no swaths and no canvassing map of its own — door-knocking runs through a paid SalesRabbit connector, and the storm data is a separate vendor entirely.
That is why a storm crew on AccuLynx is almost never paying one bill. It is the CRM, plus a hail map subscription — Hail Recon publishes $999 a year for a single state, HailTrace will not publish a subscription price at all — plus a canvassing app at $49 to $75 per rep before add-ons. Three vendors, three logins, and a storm date that gets typed in by hand because the map and the job record have never spoken to each other.
HailMate starts where the season starts. Three years of NOAA radar hail is already drawn across your territory when you open it, street by street and banded by stone size, with the door-knocking on the same screen. The pin your rep drops becomes the job, and the storm that justified the knock stays attached to it all the way to the adjuster.
Every storm on one map, not one date at a time
Every hail day on record across your territory is drawn at once, largest stone on top, with a date filter to narrow it afterwards. You never have to know which storm hit a street before the map will show you.
Canvassing on the same screen as the swath
GPS knock tracking, pin outcomes, rep territories and leaderboards — included on every plan, on the map with the hail already on it. No connector, no second subscription, no sync to configure.
Radar that survives the handoff
The storm date, the estimated stone size and the ground reports stay on the job record, so the evidence that supports the claim is in front of the adjuster instead of in a browser tab nobody opened.
Street level, not a shaded county
Evidence Grade™ — a radar-estimated stone size typically within about a quarter inch of what people measure on the ground, cross-checked against verified ground reports and a severe-hail probability layer. Refreshed every morning.
How HailMate compares to AccuLynx
AccuLynx is genuinely stronger on production management, scheduling depth and enterprise reporting. Those rows are not in this table because they are not what a storm crew is choosing between — but if you run high job volume with an office staff, weigh them.
Why crews leave AccuLynx
These aren't our opinions — they're the complaints AccuLynx users repeat in public reviews, and how HailMate was built to answer them.
The storm data is a whole second vendor
AccuLynx carries no hail data. A storm company running it buys a map subscription alongside — Hail Recon publishes $999/yr for one state up to $1,999 nationwide, and HailTrace does not publish subscription pricing at all — and because the two systems never talk, the date of loss is retyped by hand and the radar never reaches the adjuster.
HailMate carries three years of NOAA hail and wind at street level, on the same map as the canvassing, on every plan. The storm that justified the knock is on the job record from the moment the pin is dropped.
Door-knocking needs SalesRabbit plus a paid connector
AccuLynx has no native canvassing. Crews run SalesRabbit ($49/user/mo annual, $75 monthly, before the Weather and Digital Contracts add-ons) and pay for the connector between them — then live with a knock history that never quite lines up with the job record.
HailMate canvassing is part of the product: GPS knock tracking, pin outcomes, rep territories and leaderboards on the hail map itself. A yes at the door becomes a job with the homeowner attached, and nobody re-types anything.
“Nickel and dimed” is the most-repeated AccuLynx complaint
The $250/mo Essential price is a floor, not a number. E-signature (SmartDocs), the homeowner portal and text messaging are all separately billed add-ons with no published rates, Pro and Elite are quote-only and per-seat, and the canvassing connector is another line.
HailMate publishes all four prices and every one of them includes the same feature list. $79/mo for a state and one user, up to $499 nationwide — e-sign, texting, calling, canvassing, the homeowner portal and the hail maps in the price.
Per-seat pricing lands in the month you can least afford it
AccuLynx bills per user above the base tier, so hiring six canvassers for the three weeks after a storm raises your software bill in exactly the window your cash is tied up in materials and unpaid claims.
HailMate is flat per company: $79 for one seat, $149 for three, $299 for ten, $499 for twenty and $20/user/mo beyond that on the month's peak. Staff up for the storm; the ladder climbs on territory, not headcount.
“Cancel anytime” marketing over an annual auto-renew
AccuLynx markets no long-term contracts, but its terms auto-renew annual subscriptions unless you cancel 30 or more days before the term ends, and prepaid fees are non-refundable. Users report finding this out at renewal.
HailMate is month-to-month in the FAQ and in the terms. Cancel in one click, export your data, keep it.
Six things to price before you compare these two
In rough order of how much money each one costs you when you get it wrong. The first is the one nobody puts in a comparison table.
Price the whole stack, not the CRM
AccuLynx at the $250 floor is not the comparison. AccuLynx plus a hail map subscription plus a canvassing app plus the e-sign, texting and portal add-ons is the comparison, and that is the number to ask for in writing before you sign. A five-rep storm crew running the usual stack lands well past $900/mo once everything is switched on.
Ask what happens to the storm date
In a two-vendor setup somebody types it. That is fine until a carrier disputes the date of loss, at which point the radar that would have settled it is in a different product with a different login and no link to the file. Ask both vendors to show you a job record with the swath, the estimated stone size and the ground reports attached to it.
Count the seats you will have in May, not the ones you have now
Roofing headcount is seasonal by nature, and per-seat pricing punishes exactly the moment you need people. Do the arithmetic at your storm-season headcount, and remember that the canvassing add-ons are per seat too.
Test the mobile app with an actual rep
The most-repeated functional complaint about AccuLynx is that the mobile app is slower and thinner than the desktop, which matters for a business that lives in driveways and on roofs. The test that predicts adoption is not a feature list: hand the app to somebody who has never seen it and time how long before they log something useful.
Find out what happens with no signal
Storm markets are rural more often than not, and the subdivision that just took the core is frequently the one with no bars. A tool that needs a connection to save a photo or a knock will quietly lose you documentation all season, and you find out when an adjuster asks for it.
Read the renewal clause before the feature list
Auto-renewing annual terms and non-refundable prepayments are the two lines that decide how expensive a wrong choice is. Ask for the total first-year cost — every seat, every add-on, onboarding included — and ask what the notice period is to leave.
What each one actually charges
Every figure below is one the vendor publishes on its own site, read in September 2026. Where a vendor publishes nothing we say “quote only” rather than guessing — prices move, so check the source link before you sign anything.
HailMate
$79–$499/moFlat per company. $79/mo one state and one user, $149/mo three states and up to three users, $299/mo nationwide and up to ten, $499/mo nationwide with twenty included and $20/user/mo beyond that. Annual is ten months' price. Every plan carries the same feature list — hail maps, canvassing and the full CRM. Month-to-month, no setup fee.

$250/mo and upEssential is vendor-confirmed at $250/mo. Pro and Elite are quote-only and priced per seat. E-signature, the homeowner portal, text messaging and the canvassing connector are separately priced add-ons with no published rates. The terms auto-renew annually despite "cancel anytime" marketing. Verisk agreed to acquire AccuLynx in 2025 and terminated the deal on 29 December 2025; AccuLynx has publicly disputed the termination.

$49–$75/user/moThe canvassing app AccuLynx points you at, plus the paid connector between them. Pro is $49 per user per month on annual terms, $75 month-to-month; Team is $59 monthly. Add-ons are all per user per month on top: DataGrid AI +$19–31, Weather +$13–20, Digital Contracts +$13–20, Movers +$13–20. Paid implementation is required, contracts run one to three years, and there are no refunds. Loaded, a roofing rep lands around $94–$146/user/mo — and that is before the CRM it feeds.

The map is the product, not an integration
Three years of NOAA radar hail and damaging wind, street by street, banded by stone size, on the same screen your reps knock from. AccuLynx has no storm data at any tier — it is always a second vendor.
Canvassing without a connector
GPS knock tracking, pin outcomes, rep territories and leaderboards are included on every plan. AccuLynx needs SalesRabbit plus a paid AppConnections connector, and every pin becomes a sync you have to trust.
One published price, one feature list
Four rungs, all published, all carrying the same capabilities — territory, seats and price are the only differences. No add-on menu for e-sign, texting or the homeowner portal, and no quote-only tier above it.
And then the office side is all there too
This is the part people expect to be the catch, so it is worth being specific: leading with the hail map does not mean the CRM behind it is a stub. It is a full roofing CRM, it is on every plan, and it is not sold separately at any price.
AccuLynx is the more mature back office and we will say so plainly — deeper production management, richer reporting, seventeen years of enterprise polish. If you are a large company with office staff and high job volume, weigh that seriously. What it cannot do is put a storm on a map, and it cannot make a canvasser productive without a second product.

What you actually pay
HailMate
One state, one user, everything included. $149 for three states and three users, $299 for nationwide and ten, $499 for twenty. Hail maps and canvassing in the price.

Essential tier floor. E-sign, the homeowner portal, texting and the canvassing connector are separately priced; Pro and Elite are quote-only and per seat. Hail data is a different vendor entirely.
The short version
- Storm restoration, paying three bills? HailMate. The hail map, the canvassing and the whole claim are one product at one published price, and the radar that justifies the claim stays attached to the job.
- Large operation with office staff and real reporting needs? AccuLynx has the deepest back office in roofing and that is a genuine reason to buy it. Budget for the add-ons, the seats and the storm data, and read the renewal clause.
- Re-evaluating because of the Verisk situation? Reasonable. Verisk agreed to acquire AccuLynx in 2025 and terminated the deal on 29 December 2025; AccuLynx has publicly disputed that termination. Ownership and roadmap are genuinely uncertain, and that is a fair moment to compare.
- Pure retail replacement, no claims and no canvassing? Neither of us is the obvious answer. Look at Roofr — unlimited users on a published price, and the best-looking proposal builder in roofing.
AccuLynx, answered
No. AccuLynx carries no storm data at any tier — no hail swaths, no radar history, no storm alerts. Storm restoration companies running it buy a hail map subscription separately, typically Hail Recon (published at $999/yr for one state up to $1,999/yr nationwide) or HailTrace (subscription pricing not published). That is the gap this comparison is really about: HailMate includes three years of street-level NOAA hail and damaging wind on every plan, on the same map the canvassing runs on.
