A roofing-focused sales and communications platform with automation, payments and AI.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rafter Elite is a roofing-focused CRM and marketing platform for solo operators, front offices, multi-crew companies, storm-focused contractors, commercial roofers and multi-location businesses. Its core is built around lead conversion: CRM and Kanban opportunity pipelines, automated follow-up, inspection booking, scheduling, two-way messaging and call tracking. The product also covers invoicing, ACH and card payments, deposits, progress billing, reputation management, review requests, funnels, landing pages and forms. AI features include a voice receptionist for inbound calls and appointment booking, plus an AI chat assistant.
The listed plan is Rafter Elite — All Features at $99 per month, billed monthly. That plan includes CRM and opportunity pipelines, scheduling, booking and appointments, invoicing, documents and contracts, workflows, marketing automation, reputation and review management, after-hours AI and AI chat assistance. The introductory price applies to the first 270 customers, while AI and messaging add usage-based charges. For roofing teams comparing software costs, those variable charges should be considered alongside the monthly subscription.
Its ecosystem fit is a notable part of the product. Roofing-specific integrations include Xactimate, EagleView, CompanyCam and Hover, while business connections include QuickBooks, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal and Twilio. That combination supports estimating-related workflows, accounting, calendars, communications and marketing operations from a web platform. Rafter Elite suits teams prioritizing lead response, appointment conversion and customer communication. Businesses seeking a more comprehensive estimating or customer-portal-centered system should look for those capabilities as a primary requirement.
