When AccuLynx Wins

• 50%+ of your work is insurance restoration
• You need adjuster meeting + supplement workflow as a daily core feature
• You operate 10+ crews with complex permission/role requirements
• You already invest in a full-time office manager who runs the platform

When RidgeIQ Wins

• You're a retail roofer (homeowner-paid jobs) or mixed retail + occasional insurance
• You want a widget on your website to capture cold leads
• You need unlimited measurements at a flat rate
• You want one tool instead of three (widget + CRM + measurement service)
• You're a gutter contractor (AccuLynx is roof-restoration focused)
• You value transparent pricing over "talk to sales" gatekeeping
