THE HAILTRACE ALTERNATIVE THAT'S ALREADY IN YOUR CRM
HailTrace sells you a hail map as its own subscription — quoted on a sales call, paid on top of your CRM, and done working the moment the homeowner opens the door. HailMate puts NOAA hail swaths on the same map your canvassers knock from, then carries the storm into the claim: date of loss, hail badges, and supplement letters that cite the verified event.
How HailMate compares to HailTrace
Why crews leave HailTrace
These aren't our opinions — they're the complaints HailTrace users repeat in public reviews, and how HailMate was built to answer them.
A four-figure annual bill for a map
HailTrace doesn't publish pricing — you book a sales call, and roofers commonly report quotes around $999–$1,999 a year depending on coverage. That's on top of your CRM, your canvassing app, and everything else in the stack.
HailMate includes hail tracking and hail maps in every plan — Solo, Team, and Company — at no extra cost. Same NOAA radar data, zero additional subscription.
The map doesn't talk to your CRM
HailTrace lives in its own app with its own login. The swath tells you where to knock, but the storm data stops there — your CRM never learns which jobs sit inside a verified hail event, and the adjuster never sees it either.
In HailMate the swath and the job share one map. Pins and jobs inside a swath get hail-size badges, the date of loss is prefilled from the storm date, and the supplement engine cites the NOAA-verified event to the carrier.
One more subscription in an already-expensive stack
CRM + canvassing app + hail maps + e-sign add-ons is how storm crews end up at $700–1,500 a month across four or five vendors, each with its own renewal negotiation.
HailMate is the stack: canvassing, hail maps, estimates, e-sign, supplements, comms, and invoicing at one flat published price starting at $149/mo.
Where HailMate pulls ahead
Storm Data Past the Knock
Every hail map can point you at a neighborhood. Only HailMate feeds the same verified event into the claim — the right date of loss on day one, and radar evidence in the supplement letter the adjuster reads.
One Map for Swaths and Doors
Your canvassers already work a map in HailMate. Storm mode filters it to the streets inside the latest swath, sorted by hail size — no exporting between a weather app and a knocking app.
Free Is Hard to Beat
The core thing roofers pay HailTrace for — accurate swaths to target canvassing — is built on the same public NOAA radar network and included in every HailMate plan.
What you actually pay
Frequently asked questions
For most storm restoration teams, yes. The core reason roofers pay for HailTrace — accurate hail swath maps to target canvassing — is built into HailMate at no extra cost, on the same map your door knockers already work from. And because the storm data lives inside your CRM, it does things a standalone hail map can't: badge your pins and jobs, prefill the date of loss, and back your supplement letters with the NOAA-verified event.
