Quick answerThere is no subscription to model. Monthly report spend equals claim volume times the per-report price: Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF-only $25, or ESX + PDF $29, from Sketch My Roof, the site sponsor. A desk running 25 roof claims a month on Standard ESX budgets $475; the same desk on ESX + PDF budgets $725. Pick the price point by format, not by volume discount, because there isn't one.

The formula: no subscription math required

Most software budgeting starts with a tier and a seat count. Roof reports do not work that way. Each order is a flat, published price tied to the format you choose, and there is no minimum order and no recurring fee sitting underneath it. That means the entire monthly budget line is one multiplication:

Monthly report spend = number of roof claims that month x price per report.

The only variable worth planning around is which price point your claims actually need: Standard ESX at $19, Complex-roof ESX at $25, PDF-only at $25, or ESX + PDF at $29. Mixed months are normal. A desk with a blend of straightforward and cut-up roofs will land somewhere between the $19 row and the $25 row, and a desk that also hands PDFs to homeowners or files will run closer to $25 to $29 across the board.

Budgeting table: monthly claim volume x price point

The table below runs the formula across common monthly claim counts for a field or IA desk. Use the row closest to your actual roof-claim volume, then pick the column that matches the format mix you order most.

Roof claims per monthStandard ESX @ $19Complex-roof ESX or PDF-only @ $25ESX + PDF @ $29
5$95$125$145
10$190$250$290
20$380$500$580
30$570$750$870
50$950$1,250$1,450
75$1,425$1,875$2,175
100$1,900$2,500$2,900

Figures are claim volume multiplied by the published per-report price. No subscription fee, platform fee, or minimum order applies on top of these totals.

Matching the price point to the claim mix

  • Count how many roofs on your docket are simple gable or hip shapes versus heavily cut up

    Standard ESX covers typical residential roofs at $19; roofs with many facets or additions fall into the Complex-roof ESX tier at $25, and misrouting a complex roof to the standard tier is the most common cause of a revision request.

  • Decide up front whether the file needs a PDF exhibit, not just an Xactimate® estimate

    PDF-only runs $25 on its own, but ordering ESX + PDF together at $29 is usually cheaper than two separate orders once a claim needs both the estimate line item and the exhibit.

  • Flag Symbility® claims separately from Xactimate® claims when you budget

    Symbility® XML is available on the order page at its own listed price and should not be estimated using the ESX or PDF figures in the table above.

  • Track actual monthly report count for one full cycle before locking a budget line

    Because pricing is flat and there is no subscription, the only estimating error possible is guessing volume wrong, not guessing a tier wrong.

Why there is no subscription line to model

Reports are ordered by property address with no minimum order and no recurring commitment. A desk that orders three roof reports one month and forty the next pays exactly three times the per-report price the first month and forty times it the next; there is no idle seat cost sitting in between. That also means a slow storm month does not carry a fixed overhead forward, and a catastrophe surge does not require a new contract or a higher tier to be approved before ordering can continue.

For a field adjuster working a small book, that keeps the monthly number small and predictable. For an IA firm or carrier desk sizing a CAT deployment, the same formula scales linearly with claim intake, which makes it straightforward to fold into a loss-run or staffing forecast without adding a software-cost variable.

Turnaround and terms that affect budget timing

Orders placed before the 6 PM Eastern cutoff are delivered the same calendar day, which means a report ordered on a given claim day is typically an expense you can close out on that day's ledger rather than one that spills into the next billing period. Reports are ordered directly from Sketch My Roof roof measurement reports by property address, and corrections or revisions are available from the delivery email if a measurement needs adjusting, which avoids a second full-price order.

Verisk™ desks routing through XactAnalysis® can use the Xactimate® Integration ordering path for the same published pricing and same-day terms; the workflow for pulling a delivered ESX into an open estimate is covered in Xactware's own documentation, and menu steps vary by version, so verify the current path in your build before relying on a fixed click sequence.

Putting it into a monthly forecast

Start from last month's roof-claim count, not an assumed average, and multiply by the price point your desk actually orders most often. If your mix is mostly Standard ESX with an occasional Complex-roof or PDF add-on, budget the bulk of the line at $19 and add a small buffer at $25 for the exceptions rather than pricing the whole month at the higher tier. Because there is no subscription tier to negotiate and no seat count to true up, revisiting the number each month is just re-running the same multiplication with the new claim count, which is why the table above works as a standing reference rather than a one-time estimate.

You can start any order directly by property address; see order a roof report by address for current pricing and formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a volume discount for ordering many roof reports a month?
The published pricing is flat per report: Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF-only $25, ESX + PDF $29. There is no subscription and no minimum, so budgeting is a straight multiplication of claim count by price, not a tiered discount schedule.
How do I estimate my monthly spend if my claim mix changes month to month?
Use last month's actual roof-claim count as the volume figure and apply the price point that matches your typical format mix. Because pricing has no subscription component, a change in volume changes the total proportionally with no fixed cost sitting underneath it.
Does ordering ESX + PDF together cost less than ordering them separately?
ESX + PDF is priced at $29 as a combined order. Compare that to ordering PDF-only at $25 on top of a separate ESX order at $19 or $25 before deciding which is more efficient for a given claim.
Are Symbility® orders included in the $19 to $29 pricing shown here?
No. Symbility® XML is available through the order page at its own listed price and should be budgeted separately from the ESX and PDF figures in the table.
Does same-day delivery affect when the cost hits my budget period?
Orders placed before the 6 PM Eastern cutoff deliver the same calendar day, which generally lets the expense be logged against the day the claim was worked rather than carrying into a later period.
