What hail tools cost: HailTrace, Hail Recon and StormProof

These are different tools, and pretending otherwise would be marketing. The mapping suites are prospecting platforms — radar-derived swath maps, canvassing, lead generation. StormProof is a verification product: the official NWS record, per address, formatted to survive an adjuster’s scrutiny. Here is the factual comparison, with sources; check everything.

Cost questions, answered

How much does HailTrace cost?

HailTrace does not publish prices. Its plans page lists a Free tier plus Maps Only, Maps & Data and Enterprise, each of which routes to "Contact us" or "Request Demo" rather than a price (as retrieved July 22, 2026). If you need a number, you have to book the demo.

How much does Hail Recon (Interactive Hail Maps) cost?

Interactive Hail Maps publishes annual pricing: $999/year for one state or region, $1,499/year for three, and $1,999/year nationwide, with installment options listed (as retrieved July 22, 2026). The Hail Recon mobile app is included with a subscription.

Which one is cheaper?

On sticker price, StormProof is the smallest commitment of the three — $99/month with no annual term, against $999–$1,999 a year for Hail Recon and an unquoted contract price for HailTrace. But they are not the same purchase: the mapping suites are prospecting tools you buy to find work, and StormProof is a verification record you buy to hold a claim together. Plenty of contractors carry both.

What each tool actually is

StormProof ProHail-mapping suites (HailTrace, IHM)
Core jobVerify what the official record shows at one address — for a dispute Find where storms hit — for canvassing and lead generation
Data basisNWS records only: NCEI Storm Events (final, 1950–present) + SPC daily reports (preliminary, same-day), source and vintage labeled on every row Primarily proprietary radar-derived swath models, plus NWS inputs
OutputA permanent per-address report: every recorded event within 1/3/10 miles, distances, official narratives, citations, disputed-date finding, appeal-letter draft Interactive maps; typically screenshots or map exports go into the file
VerifiabilityEvery line cites the official NOAA record — an adjuster can check it Model outputs generally can’t be independently re-derived
Storm canvassing, lead gen, radar overlaysNo — not what this isYes — their core strength
Coverage / termNationwide, monthly, cancel anytimeVaries; IHM prices by region with annual terms

If you need swath maps and canvassing tools, a mapping suite earns its price — many StormProof subscribers keep both and use us for the claim file. If what you need is a defensible record of what the NWS documented near a specific address, that is the entire product, at $99/month.

Start Pro — $99/mo See a sample report

Same honesty either way: NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure. A radar swath doesn’t prove damage either — nothing remote does. Reports from HailEvidence say so explicitly, which is why they read as evidence rather than advocacy.
