When to Use Each Tool

Use PitchGauge when...

  • You're physically on the roof and need an instant pitch reading
  • You only need pitch — not full area, edges, or material BOM
  • You already have a measurement tool and want a quick supplementary check

Use Roof Manager when...

  • You need full roof area, pitch, edges, and material BOM
  • You need insurance-ready documentation for a claim
  • You want to measure without physical roof access (safety, efficiency)
  • You need a full CRM, invoicing, and proposal workflow

Many US contractors use both: PitchGauge for quick on-site checks, Roof Manager for full measurement reports and insurance documentation.

FAQ — PitchGauge vs Roof Manager

What does PitchGauge do that Roof Manager doesn't?

PitchGauge is a real-time pitch measurement app designed for use on the roof or near the roofline. It's ideal for instant pitch verification during an on-site inspection. Roof Manager doesn't have a real-time inclinometer tool — it generates satellite reports without requiring physical roof access.

What does Roof Manager do that PitchGauge doesn't?

Roof Manager generates complete satellite measurement reports — pitch-corrected area, edge breakdowns, material BOM, insurance-ready PDF — in under 60 seconds from anywhere. PitchGauge only measures pitch and requires physical proximity to the roof.

Can I use both PitchGauge and Roof Manager together?

Yes. Many contractors use Roof Manager for full satellite reports and use PitchGauge on-site for a quick sanity check or to confirm pitch on complex areas not fully captured by satellite data.

Need Full Satellite Reports, Not Just Pitch?

Roof Manager generates complete satellite reports — area, pitch, edges, BOM — in under 60 seconds. $8 USD per report. 3 free to start.
