Short answer: For most roofing companies, the best door knocking app is QuoteIQ, because the map you knock from is the same app you measure, quote and invoice in. Its Atlas map lets a rep drop a pin on a house, mark it Not Home, Interested — Follow Up, Appointment Set or Do Not Knock, add a note, and save the homeowner as a contact in one tap. Atlas is included on every QuoteIQ plan, starting with Essentials at $29.99/mo, and there's no per-rep canvassing fee. SalesRabbit, the best-known canvassing app, charges $49 to $75 per user per month, and its roofing CRM, RoofLink Pro, is another $120 per user.
What a roofer actually needs from a door knocking app
Hail rolls through Tuesday night. By Wednesday afternoon there are four other trucks in the subdivision and yard signs going up. The crew that wins that neighborhood isn't the one with the nicest leave-behind. It's the one that knows which doors it already hit, who wasn't home, who said "come back after the adjuster," and who already has an inspection on the calendar.
So the app has to do a few things well:
Put a pin on every door, with a status anyone on the team can read at a glance.
Hold notes the next rep can use: "Husband home after 5. Dented gutters and soft metals. Already called State Farm."
Keep the not-homes in one place for the second pass.
Turn "Appointment Set" into a real customer with an inspection on the schedule, without retyping it all at the kitchen table that night.
If the pins live in one app and the customer lives in another, that last step is where leads get lost.
How Atlas works on a storm canvass
Draw the neighborhood before you knock
Atlas opens on satellite view. Draw the area you're working and save it, so the whole team is knocking the same streets instead of three reps overlapping on Maple and nobody touching Birch. Zoom in and property lines show for free, and tapping a house gives you a basic property card, also free.
Knock and pin
Every door gets a pin and a status. Atlas starts you with seven: Not Home, Knocked — No Answer, Contacted, Interested — Follow Up, Not Interested, Do Not Knock and Appointment Set. You can rename, recolor, reorder, add or remove them in Atlas settings, so a storm team can add the ones it really uses, like "Come Back Saturday," "Claim Filed" or "Adjuster Meeting Set."
Add notes to any pin. "Not Interested" with a note that says "just had it replaced in 2023" saves the next rep a walk up the driveway.
Work the not-homes
Most doors on a weekday afternoon are Not Home. That's normal. The pins tell you exactly which ones to hit on the evening or Saturday pass, and the door-knock list exports to a spreadsheet (CSV) if your sales manager wants to split it up by rep.
Turn the appointment into an inspection
When a homeowner says yes, save the pin as a QuoteIQ contact in one tap and put the inspection on the calendar. From there it's the same customer record all the way through:
Roof & Pitch Measurement pulls pitch and total roof area from aerial imagery with AI, before you go back. It uses IQ Credits.
Inspection forms (Beginner and up) keep every inspection the same. The help center's own example template is called "Roofing Pre-Inspection."
Options estimates put three shingle lines side by side, and the homeowner signs the estimate online. E-signatures are on every plan.
Consumer financing through Affirm (up to $30,000, out to 36 months), Klarna and Afterpay is on every plan, and you're paid upfront minus the provider's fee.
Know the owner's name before you knock
Full property details, meaning owner and property records, are a paid unlock in Atlas: $99 for one ZIP code, $299 for five, or $997 for a whole state. After a storm that hits one or two ZIP codes, that's a one-time cost. It never expires, you're never charged twice for it, and it belongs to your company, so every rep sees it.
Insurance claim timing
A lot of homeowners won't sign anything until the adjuster has been out. That's fine. Mark them Interested — Follow Up (or your own "Adjuster Meeting Set" status), put the carrier and the adjuster date in the note, and the door doesn't get lost while the claim works through.
To be straight about it: QuoteIQ's help center doesn't document supplement tracking, adjuster workflows or Xactimate files. If most of your work is insurance restoration with heavy supplementing, AccuLynx and JobNimbus are built around that. If you sell a mix of retail and insurance roofs and want the knock, the measurement, the estimate and the invoice in one place, QuoteIQ covers it.
Running reps in the field
Seats are included. Essentials covers 1 user, Beginner 2, Pro 4, Elite 10 and Max 20. Extra users are $25 per user per month on any paid plan.
You control who spends money. Employees only open Atlas if you give them the "Use Atlas" permission, and they can only buy leads or property details if you also give them "Spend in Atlas." Any purchase over $250 asks for confirmation first.
See where the team is (Elite and Max). Atlas Employees shows reps on the map only while they're clocked in. Once they clock out, their location isn't shown at all.
Track the sale (Elite and Max). Pipelines track deals through stages you set, like inspection set, proposal sent and signed.
Pay commissions (Max). Sales Team Tracker tracks sales by employee and commission percentage per rep.
Commercial roofing: the Lead Generator
Atlas also finds businesses to sell to, which matters if you do commercial or multifamily work. Pick business types such as property managers, draw an area or enter a ZIP code, and search for free. Atlas shows the exact count before you pay. Unlocking gives you every business in the search with name, address, phone number and website, at 25¢ each for the first 100 and less after that ($25 minimum). A search of 500 businesses comes to $110. Leads are scored on fit, distance and how many of your existing customers are nearby.
What Atlas doesn't do
No hail maps. QuoteIQ's weather feature is a forecast on your dashboard and calendar, not storm swath overlays. You pick the neighborhood from your own storm reports. SalesRabbit sells a Weather map add-on for $19 to $31 per user per month.
The Lead Generator finds businesses, not homeowners. For houses, you work from door pins and property records.
Atlas Routing orders jobs, not doors. On Elite and Max, it puts a day's jobs in the best driving order. It isn't a knock-by-knock walking route.
How the other door knocking apps compare
App | Door-knocking map | Runs the roofing job after the knock | Published pricing |
QuoteIQ | Built in (Atlas), every plan | Yes: roof measurement, estimates, e-signature, financing, invoicing | $29.99 to $699.99/mo by plan, users included |
SalesRabbit | Built in | Through RoofLink Pro, $120/user/mo | Team $59/user/mo; Pro $49 (annual) to $75/user/mo; 1 to 3 year contracts |
SPOTIO | Built in | No, sends leads to a CRM such as JobNimbus through Zapier | Not published; built for teams of 5+ reps |
JobNimbus | Through SalesRabbit or SPOTIO | Yes | Not published |
AccuLynx | Through SalesRabbit, via the AppConnections add-on | Yes | Not published |
Jobber | None in its help center; door leads go in as requests | Yes | From $49/mo (Core, 1 user) |
SalesRabbit is a strong canvassing tool, and its pricing page says paid plans have no free trial, an implementation package is always required, and contracts run one to three years. JobNimbus and AccuLynx both lean on SalesRabbit for the door itself, which means two subscriptions and a sync between them. Jobber has a sales pipeline for requests and quotes but no map for knocking, so every door gets typed in by hand.
If you're comparing full roofing CRMs on price, production and insurance work, our Best CRM for Roofing Businesses in 2026 guide covers that. This one is only about the knock.
