International Restoration Institute Restoration Software Tracker

A dated, sourced sweep of the restoration software market published by the International Restoration Institute: estimating software, personal property / contents software, restoration CRM and job management, field documentation with moisture mapping and drying logs, and the AI/vision layer. Every vendor row carries its pricing model, a monthly-equivalent price, features, the source URL, and the read date (2026-11-14).

Not 99% — the sourced numbers, read 2026-11-14: roughly 85% of US carriers run Xactimate (22 of the top 25 US property insurers), and 75–80% of adjusters use it for claim-related restoration work — but only 66% of contractors rely on it, and contractors wrote just 5% of full-cycle estimates processed through XactAnalysis (2016 data). Xactimate is the carrier side of the claim. Being 'used' is not the same as being priced for you: carrier-side seats run $350/month per user plus add-ons.

Xactimate by Verisk is the carrier-side standard — about 85% of carriers and 66% of contractors use it. Xactimate Pro lists at $350/month or $2,690/year per user for all three platforms (desktop, online, mobile); Verisk retired the Standard tier in October 2026 and folded entry users into that single $350/month tier. Symbility by Cotality publishes $95 per Estimate user per month plus $15 per accepted assignment, Encircle reports $250–$650/month flat with unlimited users, and DASH starts around $595/month (reported). DryIQ is $49/month flat — priced for the contractor, not per user.

It depends on the model: iCat Contents charges a $500 one-time setup plus usage-based fees, Verisk ContentsTrack charges per job plus a setup fee, Assured PackOut is $35 per user per month, contents.team has a $0 base tier, and XactContents is a +$65/month add-on to a Xactimate seat. The category is growing from about $685 million in 2026 toward $1.58 billion by 2035. DryIQ includes PP Vision contents valuation in the $49 flat price — no per-claim or per-job fee.

Restoration-specific platforms: DASH from ~$595/month (reported), PSA $325 for 5 users plus $5 per additional user, Xcelerate $55–$85 per user per month, Restoration Manager $300–$745/month, Albi $60–$100 per user per month with a $6,000 annual minimum. The general SMB stack most small shops run: ServiceTitan $245–$500 per tech per month (reported), Jobber $39–$199/month, Housecall Pro $79–$329/month, JobNimbus $225–$550/month plus $20–$75 per user, QuoteIQ $29.99–$299/month flat.

Yes, usually as separate seats or add-ons: Encircle pairs moisture readings and psychrometric daily-log PDFs with scope export to Xactimate; DASH and Albi track drying documentation and equipment but start at ~$595/month and $60–$100 per user. DryIQ combines the direct-bill estimator, the hands-free Moisture Mapper with drying-equipment placement on the sketch, the AI check, proof sheet, and print report in one $49/month flat subscription.

Yes, Xactware has one: Verisk's XactAI agent is embedded across Xactimate, XactContents, and XactAnalysis — Line Item Advisor, Estimate Builder (plain-language job description to structured estimate), Sketch AR floor-plan capture, AutoPricing, photo labeling, XactRebuild, and XactGen Roofing, which generates roofing line items and quantities from roof measurement data (launched June 2026). But it is metered: +$29 per user per month on top of the $350/month seat. DryIQ includes its agent in the $49 flat price — and Hope does roofs too: the Roof Builder turns length/width/pitch into a shingle scope with underlay, ice and water, drip edge, ridge cap, and flashing line items, and structural roof items (roof trusses) are proposed by voice command. Plus PP Vision (contents), Clean Vision (cleaning scope), and the AI check.

No — different sides of the claim. Xactimate and Symbility are carrier-side tools: per-user seats, per-assignment fees, and a licensed carrier price list, built for the ~85% of carriers and 75–80% of adjusters who write most estimates. DryIQ is contractor-side: one flat $49/month for the company, month-to-month during beta, with a direct-bill catalog computed from federal data — BLS Producer Price Index materials and SAM Davis-Bacon prevailing wages — resolved to your county and refreshed monthly. You are not licensing the carrier's price list, so the estimate defends your real labor and material costs. Every line prints its source. 30 days free with any IRI course enrollment.

Prices were read 2026-11-14 from each vendor's published pricing page or a dated third-party report, and every row links to its source. When a price moves, this page is updated first and the DryIQ pricing comparison second. The companion Restoration Certification Class Tracker sweeps automatically twice a month.
