THE HAILTRACE ALTERNATIVE THAT DOESN'T STOP AT THE MAP
HailTrace sells storm data — meteorologist-drawn swaths, quoted on a sales call, billed on top of whatever actually runs your business. HailMate is street-level hail maps built for canvassing, with the CRM already inside: $79/mo covers your whole state — the swath, the doors, and everything after the knock.

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.
You can't find out what it costs without a sales call
HailTrace's plans page lists four tiers — Free, Maps Only, Maps & Data, and Enterprise — and every paid one says contact us. The only prices they publish are per-report: $40 for a weather history report, $150 meteorologist-reviewed, $1,000 for a certified forensic report.
HailMate's price is on the pricing page and it is the whole price: $79/mo for one state and one user, $149 for three states and three users, $299 for nationwide and ten, $499 for nationwide with no seat limit. Month-to-month, no setup fee, no per-seat math.
It's a map subscription sitting on top of a CRM subscription
HailTrace integrates with JobNimbus, SalesRabbit, SPOTIO, Enzy, and LettrLabs — because it isn't any of those things. Nothing inside it writes an estimate, sends a contract for signature, files a supplement, or invoices the homeowner. Those are separate vendors and separate bills.
In HailMate the map is one screen of the product you already run the company on. Maps, canvassing, jobs, estimates, e-sign, supplements, and invoicing are one login and one bill.
The swath tells you where to knock, then clocks out
In a standalone map app the storm data ends at the door. Your CRM never learns that a job sits inside a verified 1.75-inch hail event, the date of loss gets typed in by hand, and the adjuster never sees the radar that proves the claim.
HailMate badges every pin and job inside a swath with hail size and storm date, suggests the date of loss when the job is created, and cites the verified event in the supplement letters it drafts.
Where HailMate pulls ahead
Maps Are the Product, Not an Add-On
NOAA MRMS radar-estimated hail — accurate to roughly a quarter inch — merged with NWS spotter reports for ground truth and POSH probability swaths, rendered street by street on the map your canvassers work. Not a weather layer bolted onto a CRM.
One Bill Instead of Two
Storm crews normally pay a hail-map vendor and a CRM vendor to do one job. HailMate is both from $79/mo — which is why the comparison isn't map vs. map, it's one subscription vs. two.
The Storm Follows the Job
The same event that sent your rep down the street prefills the date of loss, badges the job with hail size, and shows up as radar evidence in the supplement letter the adjuster reads. A separate map app can't do that at any price.
What you actually pay
HailMate
One state, one user — hail maps, canvassing, and the full CRM. $149/mo for three states, $299/mo nationwide, $499/mo nationwide with no seat limit.
HailTrace
Subscription pricing isn't published; all paid tiers route to a sales call. Maps and storm data only — the CRM is still a separate bill.
Often needs paid add-ons for full functionality.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on why you bought HailTrace. If you bought it for meteorologist-certified forensic reports, storm forecasting, or hail events from 2012, no — those are real products and we don't have them. If you bought it to find out which streets got hit so your crew can knock them this week, then yes: HailMate puts NOAA radar hail swaths and spotter reports street by street on the canvassing map, and you stop paying for a second product to do it. The difference is that HailMate is also the CRM, so the storm keeps working after the knock.
