Hover
AI measurement platform that generates 3D property models and material quantities from smartphone photos.
4.0 /5 composite score
The estimating placement is tied to the documented API, MCP server, webhooks, and Xactimate, Salesforce, Zapier, AccuLynx, and JobNimbus integrations; the file surface covers JSON, PDF, XLSX, and SKP, and firm-size fit is solo to small-team.
