Documentation vs. Recovery

Encircle captures the story of the loss. Supplement Tool writes the letter that forces the insurance company to pay for every line item they tried to exclude. Both matter — they solve different problems.

$270–$590/mo vs. $97/mo

Encircle's plans start at $270/month and go up to $590/month for the full platform. Supplement Tool starts at $97/month for unlimited restoration supplement letters.

IICRC Citations Built In

When the adjuster denies antimicrobial treatment or caps your drying days, Supplement Tool writes a letter citing IICRC S500/S520 standards and the specific Xactimate line items that apply. Encircle doesn't write those letters.

Why Many Restoration Contractors Use Both

Encircle and Supplement Tool are not competing tools — they solve different parts of the same problem. Encircle documents the loss in a format that satisfies carrier requirements and integrates with Xactimate. Supplement Tool writes the letters that recover the money adjusters try to exclude after the estimate is built.

The most commonly missed restoration line items — antimicrobial treatment, additional drying days, content manipulation, HEPA air scrubbing, and O&P — are not recovered by better documentation. They are recovered by a supplement letter that cites IICRC S500/S520 standards and the specific Xactimate line items that apply. That is what Supplement Tool generates in under 60 seconds.

If your restoration claims are consistently coming in short, Supplement Tool is the faster, lower-cost solution to recover that money. If you also need structured job documentation for large multi-job operations, Encircle addresses that separately.
