The 6 best canvassing apps for roofers

We make one of these, so read it the way you would read any vendor's comparison. What we can offer in exchange is sourcing: every figure below was read off the vendor's own pricing page in August 2026 and linked, and where a vendor publishes nothing this page says “quote only” instead of guessing. That matters more here than in most categories — the canvassing roundups currently ranking give three different prices for the same SalesRabbit plan in the same month, and SalesRabbit's own site carries no price at all.

What each one is actually for

Ordered by how many roofing crews they fit — not by which is “best”, because half of these are solving genuinely different problems.

01

HailMate

$79–499/mo

The one where the hail map, the door knock and the claim are the same product

Pricing
1 user for one state at $79/mo; up to 10 users nationwide at $299/mo; unlimited users at $499/mo. Priced per company, not per rep. Month-to-month, published, no setup fee.
Source: hailmate.ai/pricing
How seats are billed
Flat, per company
Storm data
NOAA hail swaths under the pins, on every plan

Best for

Storm restoration crews, and anyone whose headcount swings with the weather. Hiring six canvassers for three weeks does not move the bill, and the swath that sent a rep to the door is still attached when the supplement gets written.

Watch out for

It is built for insurance restoration. If you sell retail replacements with no claims involved, half of what you are paying for is claim workflow you will never open. And the entry plan covers one state — national coverage starts at the Team rung.

02

SalesRabbit

Quote only

The category default for door-to-door — now with the price taken off the website

Pricing
Four cards — SalesRabbit Team, Pro, Enterprise and RoofLink Pro — and every one is a "Schedule a demo" button. No per-user figure appears anywhere on the page. Capabilities are sold as separate modules (DataGrid AI, Amplify, RoofLink, Weather, Scheduler, Digital Contracts, Movers); only Canvassing is marked as included in all plans. Third-party roundups quote wildly different numbers for the same plan in the same month — treat all of them as invented.
Source: salesrabbit.com/pricing
How seats are billed
Per user (figure not published)
Storm data
Weather is a separate module, not in the base plan

Best for

Large multi-industry field-sales operations — solar, pest, telco, roofing — that want the most mature canvassing product in the category and have someone to run a procurement process. The canvassing feature set itself is the deepest here.

Watch out for

The modular pricing is where the cost lives. A rep with canvassing plus AI lead data plus weather plus digital contracts is a very different number from a rep with canvassing, and you cannot work out either from the website. Ask for the fully-loaded per-rep total, in writing, including implementation and contract term.

03

SPOTIO

Quote only

The B2B field-sales engine, pointed at doors

Pricing
Three plans — B2B, B2C and Custom — with no published figures and a stated minimum of 5+ field sales professionals. Add-ons are listed separately: Engagement Bundle, Next Best Action, DASH AI, Lead Machine and E-Contracts. The site says plans are "tailored around your team size, workflows, and use case", which is a per-seat model with the number withheld.
Source: spotio.com/pricing
How seats are billed
Per user, 5-seat minimum
Storm data
No weather layer among the published add-ons

Best for

Teams that run a genuine outbound sequence — multi-touch cadences, email and call tracking, activity analytics — and want doors to be one channel among several rather than the whole business.

Watch out for

It is not built for storm work and does not pretend to be: no hail data, no claim, no supplement. Budget for it plus a roofing CRM plus a hail map subscription, then compare that stack against a single bill.

HailMate vs SPOTIO
04

Knockio

$20–60/user/mo

The cheap, honest one — and the only competitor here that still posts a price

Pricing
Prospect (field sales) $20/user/mo at 5+ users, $25 for 1–4. Organize (field service) $30 at 5+, $35 for 1–4. Growth (all-in-one) $45 at 5+, $60 for 1–4. Scale is custom for 100+ users. Monthly billing only, no setup fees, no contracts; phone numbers are $15 each.
Source: knockio.com/pricing
How seats are billed
Per user, cheaper above 5
Storm data
Not stated on their pricing page — ask

Best for

Small D2D teams who want territory mapping and door tracking at the lowest published price, with no contract and no implementation fee. For a two-rep crew testing whether canvassing works at all, this is the cheapest real answer.

Watch out for

Nothing here is roofing-specific. No hail data, no insurance claim stages, no supplements — so the moment a knock becomes a storm job, it leaves the system. Priced per user, so it stops being the cheap option somewhere around six or seven reps.

05

RoofLink

$400/user/mo + $1,500 setup

A roofing CRM with canvassing inside it, at the top of the price range

Pricing
Their pricing page shows $400 with "USER / MONTH" beneath it, plus a one-time $1,500 setup fee — while the same page describes it as "one simple, flat rate". Those two readings are thousands of dollars apart for a five-rep crew, so get the quote in writing and confirm which one you are being sold. RoofLink is now sold alongside SalesRabbit as a bundle.
Source: rooflink.com/pricing
How seats are billed
Per user, plus setup fee
Storm data
Not stated on their pricing page — ask

Best for

Roofing companies who want production management and canvassing from one roofing-specific vendor and are not price-sensitive.

Watch out for

The setup fee and the per-user reading. If $400/user is the real number, a five-rep crew is $2,000/mo plus $1,500 to start, which is an order of magnitude above everything else on this list — so this is the one page to read twice before signing.

HailMate vs RoofLink
06

Badger Maps

$58–109/user/mo

Route optimization for B2B outside sales — the wrong shape for door knocking

Pricing
Business is $58/user/mo billed annually or $69 monthly; Enterprise is $95 annually or $109 monthly. Add-ons are priced separately: Align $20/territory/mo (5 minimum), Lead Routing $16/rep/mo, Insights $50/user/mo, Scoreboard $12/user/mo. No setup fees, 14-day trial, month-to-month available.
Source: badgermapping.com/pricing
How seats are billed
Per user, add-ons per user
Storm data
Not among the four published add-ons

Best for

Reps visiting a scattered list of scheduled accounts across a metro, where drive time between stops is the actual cost. It is very good at that job.

Watch out for

That is not the door-knocking job. When every house on the street is a stop, the drive between stops is eight seconds of walking and there is nothing to optimize. Buy it for territory management and account routing, not for canvassing.

How to choose

Six things to check before you sign

In rough order of how much money each one costs you when you get it wrong.

1

Is the price per rep, and what happens when a storm makes you hire six?

Almost every canvassing app on the market is priced per user per month, and that is a punishing shape for storm work specifically. The week after a hail event is exactly when you add canvassers, and it is exactly when a per-seat bill doubles — often on top of a second per-seat bill for the CRM behind it. Work out your real monthly cost at the headcount you run in August, not the one you run in February.

2

Does the map show you where the hail actually fell?

This is the difference between a canvassing app and a canvassing app for roofers. A general D2D tool will happily let you draw a territory around the wrong neighborhood. A rep working a verified two-inch swath at average skill will out-produce a great rep working undamaged roofs, every time — so the storm layer is worth more than any feature on the pitch side. If the hail data lives in a third subscription, you are paying three vendors to run one morning.

3

What happens to a lead after somebody says yes?

A canvassing app ends at the door. If the appointment then gets re-typed into a CRM, you are maintaining a seam that quietly loses photos, notes, the storm date and the rep who owns the follow-up — and it fails silently, which is why nobody notices for months. Trace five real appointments from last week through your own stack before you buy anything.

4

Does it work with no signal?

Storm markets skew rural, and the subdivision that just got flattened is frequently the one with no bars. A tool that needs a connection to log a knock will lose you data all season and you will never know how much. Test it: airplane mode, ten doors, back into coverage, check that everything arrived in the right order.

5

How long until a new hire can use it?

Interface quality sounds soft until you hire six people for three weeks. Hand the app to someone who has never seen it and time how long before they drop a pin that means something. Anything over a few minutes is days of lost canvassing across a season.

6

Add-ons, implementation fees and contract length

The sticker price is rarely the price. Texting, weather layers, digital contracts, AI lead scoring and analytics are commonly separate modules, several vendors require a paid implementation package, and annual auto-renew is normal. Ask for the fully-loaded annual total at your real headcount, in writing, before you compare anything to anything.

The short version

  • Doing insurance restoration, headcount swings with the weather? HailMate. The hail map, the pins and the claim are one product at one flat company price, so hiring six canvassers for a storm does not move the bill.
  • Big multi-industry field-sales operation? SalesRabbit has the deepest canvassing feature set in the category. Get the fully-loaded per-rep number in writing first — it is not on their website.
  • Doors are one channel in a real outbound sequence? SPOTIO. Strong cadences and activity analytics; no storm data and no CRM.
  • Two reps, testing whether canvassing works at all? Knockio, at the lowest published price of anything here, with no contract.
  • Want one roofing vendor for production and canvassing? RoofLink — and read their pricing page twice before you sign.
  • Scheduled accounts across a metro, not doors? Badger Maps. Excellent at that, wrong shape for canvassing.

Picking a canvassing app, answered

It depends on whether you do insurance work. SalesRabbit has the deepest pure canvassing feature set in the category and is the default for large multi-industry field-sales teams. SPOTIO is the strongest choice if doors are one channel inside a real outbound sequence. Knockio is the cheapest published price for a small crew that just wants territories and door tracking. Badger Maps is excellent at B2B route optimization and the wrong shape for door knocking. HailMate is the one built for storm restoration specifically, where the hail map, the canvassing and the whole claim workflow are a single product priced per company rather than per rep.

Canvassing, the hail map and the CRM on one bill

Priced per company, not per rep — so a storm hire does not move the number. From $79/mo, month-to-month, no setup fee.
