Wonderly vs. Hover
Hover's accuracy guarantee has one condition: perfect photos
If there's landscaping, fencing, or limited access around the property, users report the tool simply can't capture what it needs — and you've already paid for the scan. Real job sites don't come with ideal conditions. That's why we built Wonderly.

Why people switch
Three things Hover customers figure out after they've already committed.
-
Hover doesn't include phone, texting, or email.
Hover gives you 3D models and estimates. That's it. You still need separate software to call customers, send texts, follow up on leads, or manage your inbox. Their CRM only comes with the $99/month Pro plan — and even then, it's just a place to store contacts. You're buying and managing multiple tools to run your business.
Wonderly includes phone, SMS, and email built-in with 10,000 credits. One platform, one login, one bill.
-
The real cost is $99/month plus expedited fees.
Hover's Pro plan starts at $99/month. But if you need your 3D model faster than their standard turnaround, you pay $19 per scan on top of your subscription. On the pay-as-you-go Starter plan, expedited delivery costs $39 per scan. Those fees add up fast when you're quoting multiple jobs a week.
Wonderly is $395/month all-in for AI automation, CRM, phone, SMS, email, scheduling, and invoicing. No per-scan fees, no surprise charges.
-
When the sketch has errors, you're on your own.
Hover's 3D models fail on complex properties, gutted spaces, or when you can't photograph every angle. When that happens, fixing the sketch is difficult and time-consuming. Customers report poor support when they need help — you're stuck troubleshooting a broken model while your customer waits for a quote.
Wonderly automates follow-ups, scheduling, and estimates without relying on photo accuracy. If something breaks, you get real support — not a help doc.

Feature details
Here's a detailed look at Wonderly's features.
We know unpredictable pricing is stressful — that's why ALL AI features (Receptionist, Text, Automations) are included in one flat rate of $395/mo after the first 14 days. No surprises, ever.
The elephant in the room
But Hover is built specifically for contractors
It is. And if you're a roofing contractor who needs 3D models and measurements, Hover does that better than we ever will. But once that estimate is done, Hover hands you a number and walks away — and that's where most jobs are actually won or lost.
Contractors who switch to Wonderly aren't looking for another estimating tool. They're looking to stop losing leads between the estimate and the close — the follow-ups that never happen, the quotes that sit unopened, the callbacks that fall through the cracks.
Here's the real question: Do you need a tool that measures roofs, or a system that turns those measurements into booked jobs?
The math doesn't lie.

FAQs
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Hover
Wonderly replaces your CRM, website builder, business phone, texting platform, email system, scheduling tool, invoicing software, and project management platform. Hover only handles 3D property modeling and proposals — you still need separate tools for lead management, customer communication, scheduling, and running your business. Most contractors using Hover are also paying for tools like Calendly, RingCentral, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, and Monday.com. With Wonderly, you can cancel all of those and save $300-500 per month while getting better automation and AI features that actually follow up with leads when you're on a job.
Picture this: you're on a roof fixing an HVAC unit and a new lead calls. With Wonderly, our AI Receptionist answers immediately, qualifies the lead, books an appointment, and starts automated text and email follow-ups. You come down from the roof to a qualified appointment already scheduled. With Hover, that call goes to voicemail. The lead calls your competitor while you're still working. Hover doesn't offer phone systems, texting, or email automation — it's just a 3D modeling tool. You'd need to buy and connect separate platforms for lead follow-up, and most contractors never get that working properly.
Wonderly's AI onboarding builds your website, sets up your CRM, configures your business phone, and creates your automations in about 20 minutes. No agency needed, no technical skills required. Hover users often struggle with setup complexity — the app crashes frequently on Android, requires cellular signal to log in, and has environmental limitations that make it fail on complex properties. Many contractors end up hiring agencies to connect Hover with their other tools, which costs $5,000+ upfront and $2,000+ monthly. With Wonderly, everything works together from day one because it's one platform, not a collection of separate tools you have to connect.
Once you close a deal in Wonderly, the project automatically kicks off with tasks, timelines, team assignments, and a client portal where customers can see progress and upload documents. Hover stops at the proposal stage — after you close the deal, you're on your own for project management. You'd need separate tools like Monday.com or Asana to track work, and most contractors end up managing projects through text messages and phone calls. Wonderly handles the entire customer lifecycle from first call to project completion, so nothing falls through the cracks and your customers always know what's happening with their job.
Hover users consistently report frustrating technical problems: sketches with errors that are "cumbersome to fix,"apps that "freeze and restart constantly,"and "terrible customer service when you have issues."Many contractors say Hover fails on complex properties or when photo access is limited, leaving them stuck with unusable 3D models. Contractors who switch to Wonderly tell us they're relieved to have a platform that works reliably and includes responsive support. Instead of fighting with broken sketches and app crashes, they're focusing on growing their business with automated lead follow-up and project management that actually works.
