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.
How much does StormProof cost?
$99 a month, flat, nationwide, unlimited per-address reports, cancel anytime — no annual prepay and no per-state pricing. A single report without a subscription is $29 (standard) or $49 (extended) on our resident site.

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 Pro | Hail-mapping suites (HailTrace, IHM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Verify what the official record shows at one address — for a dispute | Find where storms hit — for canvassing and lead generation |
| Data basis | NWS 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 |
| Output | A 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 |
| Verifiability | Every 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 overlays | No — not what this is | Yes — their core strength |
| Coverage / term | Nationwide, monthly, cancel anytime | Varies; 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.
