About

Betterview applies artificial intelligence and computer vision to aerial imagery and geospatial data so insurers can assess property risk without on-site inspections. Its platform offers features like the 100-point Roof Spotlight Index, defensible-space scoring, peril risk scores, flagging and continuous monitoring, aiming to move carriers from repair-and-replace to predict-and-prevent.

Strengths: focused on property underwriting workflows; carrier adoptions reported in trade press (Utica First, CM Regent, GuideOne, Stillwater); strategic alliance with EagleView for imagery. It was acquired by Nearmap (announced late 2023), so its roadmap now sits inside a much larger aerial-imagery company. Honest limits: dependent on imagery coverage, and its marketing superlatives ("market-leading") are vendor claims.

What it can do

  • AI roof condition scoring
  • Aerial imagery property analysis
  • Peril risk scores
  • Continuous monitoring and flagging
