Who GoFormz and Scanifly suit
GoFormz fits field teams better; Scanifly fits small business better.
| Audience | GoFormz | Scanifly |
|---|---|---|
| Field Teams | 9/10Offline mobile capture with photos, GPS, and signatures is the core of the product. | 7/10The free mobile app gives surveyors checklists and photo annotation, and drone flights replace manual roof measurement. |
| Small Business | 4/10The flat 499 USD per month Starter plan is costly for very small teams. | 6/10Its few G2 reviews come from small installers, but quote-only pricing and the cost of a drone program add overhead. |
| Construction | 8/10Procore and Autodesk integrations and daily report and T&M use cases target contractors. | 7/10Solar contractors use it to cut roof climbs, measure sites and produce plan sets and racking layouts. |
| Drone Service Providers | Not rated | 5/10Any geo-tagged drone imagery works, but the product is tied to solar design rather than general drone services. |
| Energy Companies | Not rated | 9/10It is built specifically for solar PV installers and designers, covering sales, survey, design and install. |
| Enterprise | 7/10The Enterprise tier offers SSO, SOC 2 Type II, advanced reporting, and ERP integrations. | Not rated |
| Utilities | 6/10Inspection and safety forms fit utility crews, but there are no network or asset tools. | Not rated |

Pros & Cons
GoFormz
Pros
- The AI Form Builder converts existing paper forms and keeps their layout, which reduces retraining for crews.
- Forms work offline on iOS, Android, and Windows and sync when a connection returns.
- A wide set of integrations covers Procore, Autodesk, Salesforce, Acumatica, QuickBooks, SharePoint, Snowflake, and Zapier.
- Capterra reviewers rate support highly, at 4.8 out of 5 across about 136 reviews.
- SOC 2 Type II certification, with GDPR compliance, EU data residency, and HIPAA-ready workflows.
Cons
- The Starter plan costs a flat 499 USD per month even for teams of fewer than 10 users.
- Reviewers say reporting is limited, especially for custom fields. Advanced reporting is only in Enterprise.
- Mobile performance can lag on complex forms or with large attachments.
- It has no asset registry, work orders, or maintenance scheduling, so it needs a separate CMMS.
- Plan details are inconsistent between sections of the pricing page, such as API limits and public form allowances.
Scanifly
Pros
- DroneDesign builds a measured 3D model from any GPS-equipped drone, which suits installers who want as-built accuracy over satellite estimates.
- Shading reports are accepted by several state programs and lenders, including NYSERDA, MassCEC, CEC and Austin Energy.
- A direct API integration with IronRidge Design Assistant (January 2026) sends panel layouts into racking design without redrawing.
- Remote prelim designs and drone-based final designs live in one tool, along with a free mobile survey app.
- Product updates ship regularly, such as web-editable checklists and photo albums inside the 3D scene in 2026.
Cons
- No public subscription pricing, so buyers must book a demo to get a quote.
- DroneDesign needs your own drone and a certified pilot, or an outsourced survey that costs extra and takes 3 to 5 business days.
- Reviewers report no native 8,760-hour yield simulation, branded proposals, CRM or financing portal.
- There are very few independent user reviews; G2 lists about two, and Capterra appears to have no listing.
