A great map still isn't a lead list.
HailTrace is a genuinely good product — meteorologist-built hail maps trusted by thousands of contractors. If your operation runs on canvassing crews and you want the best storm swath data to point them at, it earns its subscription. The gap is what happens after the map: you still have to figure out which houses are worth knocking, who owns them, and how to reach them. That gap is exactly what RoofLeads Pro fills — and why some roofers run both.
Their model: Storm-mapping SaaS — meteorologist-verified hail swath maps and canvassing tools for your crews.
| HailTrace | RoofLeads Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Hail swath maps + canvassing tools | Scored, contact-attached lead list (map included) |
| Which house to knock | Your guess within the swath | 0–100 score per home: roof age, severity, material, value |
| Owner contact | Not included — you skip-trace separately | Name, phone, email pre-loaded, DNC-screened |
| Exclusivity | None — every subscriber sees the same maps | One roofer per city, never resold |
| Insurance intelligence | None | Readiness signal + ~1-year claim-window tracking |
| Outreach | None — knock or build your own | One-click + bulk from your own Gmail/Twilio, compliant |
| Pricing | ~$300–$500/mo, flat | $399–$2,598/mo flat by city size |
| Best for | Canvassing-crew operations | Owner-operators working a ranked list |
Meteorologists on staff, forecast products, and multi-state swath history. As a pure weather tool, it's the category leader.
If you field six knockers a day across multiple metros, HailTrace's crew tools are built for exactly that motion.
Coverage everywhere, now. Our instant-claim inventory is Colorado; other states deploy on demand.
The 2003 roof and the 2018 roof sit on the same swath-colored street. The map can't tell them apart; the score can — before you drive there.
HailTrace users skip-trace and cold-call on their own legal risk. Our leads come with DNC-screened contact, TCPA quiet hours, and an audit log.
Every HailTrace subscriber in your metro sees the same storm. Your RoofLeads territory is yours alone — verifiably.
You run canvassing crews at scale, want the deepest weather data available, and handle skip-tracing and compliance in-house.
You want the list, not homework — scored homes, owner contact, claim-window urgency, and outreach, exclusive to you. (Plenty of shops run both: HailTrace for weather depth, RoofLeads for the leads.)
Every alternative lead source, side by side.

For most owner-operators, yes — storm verification, affected-home identification, scoring, and contact are all built in. Large canvassing operations sometimes keep HailTrace for its forecasting depth and run RoofLeads Pro for the scored, exclusive lead list.
HailTrace's meteorologist-built swath maps are excellent — arguably the best pure weather product. We use official NOAA/NWS records, which are what insurance adjusters reference. The difference isn't the storm data; it's that we turn it into a scored, contact-attached, exclusive lead list.
A $300–$500 map still leaves you to identify homes, skip-trace owners, screen DNC, and canvass blind — in time and services, usually more than the price gap. The territory fee covers the whole chain from storm to compliant outreach, exclusively.
