Why Hail GPS
We bet the company on three things.
A flat, published price.
$899/yr for the whole crew, the whole country. No quote call.
An honest map.
Radar-derived sizes checked against ground reports, with the accuracy numbers published.
The whole storm day.
Forecast heads-up in the morning, live radar during, alerts the moment it lands, pins for the week after.
Honest take
What the others do well.
HailTrace: the established name, with deep relationships at large national contractors and an in-house meteorology team. If you've already built your workflows around them, that's worth something real.
Interactive Hail Maps: a long-running product with a loyal base. The underlying data quality is real.
When NOT to switch to Hail GPS: your team has a deeply entrenched workflow with one of the above and resents change. We'd rather you stay put than churn.
Try the map. Decide for yourself.
