StormProof vs HailTrace vs Interactive Hail Maps

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.

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.

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.
