Honest comparison · we named names
RestorationPro vs DASH
DASH (by Next Gear / CoreLogic) is the enterprise incumbent — deep TPA and carrier relationships, built for the largest shops. RestorationPro is the modern, fast-to-deploy alternative for restoration contractors who want the carrier-grade documentation without the 20-year-old interface, the per-seat enterprise pricing, or the multi-week implementation.

Where RestorationPro wins
Modern platform, not a 20-year-old one
DASH carries two decades of infrastructure; users report dated UX and occasional slowness. RestorationPro is a current-generation web + mobile app your crews can pick up without a training week.
Predictable per-user pricing
DASH runs $500–$750/mo in tiers plus roughly $2,000 onboarding. RestorationPro is $95/user/mo — easier to start small and scale seat-by-seat without an enterprise contract.
Check tracking and portal are standard, not Premier
On DASH, two-party check tracking, supplement bundling, and the homeowner portal live behind the Premier tier or add-ons. On RestorationPro they're native to the product.
Live in ~30 minutes, not weeks
DASH implementation commonly runs one to two weeks. A RestorationPro workspace is usable the same afternoon.
Where DASH wins
Carrier and TPA depth. DASH's carrier integrations and TPA/preferred-vendor relationships are deep and battle-tested. If most of your volume is program work where carrier connectivity is everything, DASH's maturity is a real edge
Enterprise scale and track record. DASH is built for the very largest restoration operations and has the longest track record in the category. The biggest shops run it for a reason
Ecosystem and support footprint. As a CoreLogic product, DASH comes with a large support organization and an established ecosystem. RestorationPro is the leaner, newer challenger
