QuoteIQ

Photo Documentation Software · 2026

The Best CompanyCam Alternative for Home Service Contractors

CompanyCam documents the job. It does not quote, schedule, invoice, or collect payment. QuoteIQ does all of that — and includes job-site photo documentation in the same subscription.

Quick Answer

QuoteIQ is the strongest CompanyCam alternative for home service contractors who want photo documentation and a full CRM in one subscription. CompanyCam is a dedicated documentation platform — as of September 3, 2026 its published plans are Core, Crew, and Scale at $63, $129, and $199 per month billed annually. None of them quote, schedule, or invoice, so most contractors run a second subscription alongside it. QuoteIQ starts at $29.99/month and includes QuoteIQ Cam from the $74.99 Beginner plan up, alongside estimates, scheduling, invoicing, and payments.

TL;DR: CompanyCam repriced in 2026 and its entry Core plan now includes one user, so the old “three-seat minimum” complaint no longer applies at the bottom of its range. The real trade-off is scope, not seats: CompanyCam is documentation software, and quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection still require a second platform. QuoteIQ folds photo capture and inspection reports, custom forms, satellite measurement, two-way customer texting, and job costing into one platform priced from $29.99 to $699 per month. Documentation is not just marketing material — the IRS accepts electronic business records, and OSHA maintains its own recordkeeping rules under 29 CFR 1904.

What Changed at CompanyCam in 2026

If you researched CompanyCam a year ago, most of what you read is now out of date. The Pro, Premium, and Elite lineup that dominated comparison articles has been retired. The company now sells Core, Crew, and Scale, plus a custom Enterprise tier, and the seat structure changed with it.

This matters because the single most repeated criticism of CompanyCam — that a solo operator was forced to buy three seats — is no longer accurate at the entry tier. Core includes one user. If you rejected CompanyCam on that basis, the objection has been answered, and the honest comparison has to move to a different question: what does the software actually cover?

Verified September 3, 2026

Figures below come from companycam.com/pricing on the date of this update. CompanyCam’s plan cards state prices in USD billed annually; the page also advertises a discount for annual versus monthly billing, so month-to-month costs more than the numbers shown. Additional users are $29 each on Core, Crew, and Scale.

Scale$199/month3 usersUnlimited10 minutes

Core covers timestamped photo and video capture, auto-organised project history, photo reports, on-site payment collection for US-based companies, live customer job updates, and offline capture that syncs when signal returns. Crew adds real-time job tracking, standardised checklists, task assignment across crews, a live job map, and custom client access. Scale adds unlimited templates and reports, subcontractor access controls, in-camera room measurement, agreement signing and storage, automatic translation of team communication, and post-job review requests. LiDAR and dual-video capture require supported iPhone or iPad hardware.

That is a genuinely capable documentation product, and nothing on this page argues otherwise. What it is not is a business system. There is no estimate builder, no invoice ledger, no recurring billing, no route planning, no employee time tracking. Those live in whatever CRM you pair it with.

The Real Question Isn’t Price — It’s Scope

Contractors rarely leave CompanyCam because the photos are bad. They leave because the photos live in one app, the estimate lives in another, the invoice lives in a third, and nothing reconciles. The customer who approved a $4,200 roof repair on Tuesday has a photo record in one system and a payment record in another, and connecting the two is manual work someone does at 9pm.

Two subscriptions, two logins

A documentation tool plus a CRM means two vendors, two renewal dates, two support queues, and two places your team has to remember to update.

Photos detached from money

An integration can push an image into a job record. It cannot make that photo part of the estimate the customer approved or the invoice they paid.

Onboarding friction

Every new hire learns two interfaces. Field crews are the least tolerant of app-switching and the most likely to skip the step that matters.

Data spread across vendors

Cancel one platform and half your job history stops being reachable from the other. Exporting becomes a project rather than a button.

QuoteIQ’s argument is not that it out-photographs a dedicated photo platform. It is that the photo belongs in the same record as the measurement, the line item, the signature, and the payment — and that most home service businesses are better served by one system that does all of it competently than by two systems stitched together.

QuoteIQ Pricing in 2026

QuoteIQ publishes five plans. Every plan carries a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, and every plan includes a monthly allowance of IQ Credits that power the AI tools. Annual billing includes two months free. Full detail lives on the pricing page.

The gate that matters

QuoteIQ Cam begins at the Beginner plan, not Essentials. If job-site photo documentation is the reason you are here, Beginner at $74.99/month for two users is the entry point — and it also brings MapMeasure Pro, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, and expense tracking.

What a Photo Tool Plus a CRM Actually Costs

The honest way to compare a single-purpose tool against an all-in-one is to price the whole stack. Below, CompanyCam and Jobber figures were both read from their own pricing pages on September 3, 2026, and both are shown at their annual-billed rate so the comparison is like for like.

QuoteIQ ProBoth, one subscription$149.99/month4
QuoteIQ EliteBoth, one subscription$299/month10

Two caveats worth stating plainly. First, seat counts do not line up neatly — a CompanyCam seat and a Jobber seat are separate purchases, so a five-person business may need five of each. Second, QuoteIQ’s figures above are monthly rates while the competitor figures are annual-billed rates; QuoteIQ’s own annual pricing brings Pro to $1,499.99 and Elite to $2,990 per year. Jobber also sells add-ons separately, including a Marketing Suite at $99/month, an AI Receptionist at $29/month, and Pipeline at $49/month, and charges $29/month for each user beyond a plan’s included count.

On Housecall Pro figures

Earlier versions of this article quoted Housecall Pro dollar amounts. Housecall Pro does not publish a rate card we could verify on September 3, 2026, and third-party sources disagree with one another by $30 or more per tier. Rather than restate numbers we cannot confirm at the source, all Housecall Pro dollar figures have been removed from this page. Check their pricing page directly.

The point of the table is not that QuoteIQ always wins on raw price — at one seat, a Jobber Core plus CompanyCam Core stack costs less per month than QuoteIQ Pro. The point is what each column buys. The stack gives you two products with a partial integration between them. The single subscription gives you one record per job, from the first quick estimate through the signature, the photo set, and the paid invoice. If you want to model your own numbers before committing, the home service business calculators and the software pricing calculator are free to use.

QuoteIQ Cam vs CompanyCam: Capability by Capability

Both tools capture, organise, annotate, and report. The differences show up at the edges — what happens to a photo after it is taken, and whether the surrounding business workflow lives in the same place.

Where CompanyCam Is Genuinely Stronger

A comparison that claims the competitor does nothing well is not worth reading. CompanyCam has spent a decade on one problem, and it shows in places QuoteIQ does not attempt to match.

  • Offline-first capture. CompanyCam explicitly supports capturing without service and syncing later. If you work basements, rural routes, or steel structures where signal disappears, that is a real operational difference.
  • Depth of the documentation-only workflow. Project feeds, labels, starring, project groups, and daily logs are built for teams whose entire job is capturing and organising visual evidence at volume.
  • LiDAR and dual-video capture. On supported iPhone and iPad hardware, these are specialised tools QuoteIQ does not offer.
  • Integration breadth. CompanyCam connects to AccuLynx, Jobber, JobNimbus, JobTread, Leap, and QuickBooks Online among others. If you are committed to an existing CRM and want to bolt documentation onto it, that ecosystem is the reason to stay.
  • Auto-translation of team communication. On the Scale plan, this matters for crews working across languages.

If you already run a CRM you like and your only gap is photo documentation, CompanyCam is a reasonable purchase and switching everything would be disruptive for little gain. This page is written for the contractor who has not yet committed, or who is paying for two systems and questioning why.

Where QuoteIQ Is Stronger

  • One record per job. The measurement, the estimate, the signature, the photo set, the invoice, and the payment sit on the same customer profile rather than being reconciled across vendors.
  • Documentation priced inside a CRM. Beginner at $74.99/month includes QuoteIQ Cam alongside estimating, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection for two users.
  • Measurement before you leave the truck. MapMeasure Pro measures roofs, lawns, driveways, decks, and fences from satellite imagery, saves the result to the customer profile, and attaches a screenshot to the estimate as visual proof of scope. Historical aerial imagery lets you scroll back through years of photos of the same property.
  • AI across every plan. AI Autopilot ships 55 integrated tools across 13 categories and runs on IQ Credits included with every tier. The AI Estimator turns property photos into line-item pricing.
  • Customer-facing self-service. Client Portal [Pro+] gives every customer a branded link to approve estimates, pay invoices, view inspections, and browse job galleries with no app download.
  • Support on every plan. Help Center, video tutorials, and 24/7 live support come with all five tiers, and the team answers texts at (912) 913-7154.

Job Photos Are a Business Record, Not Just Marketing

Most software comparisons treat job-site photos as content for a portfolio. In practice they do three jobs at once, and each one has rules attached.

1. They substantiate what you charged

When a customer disputes scope, the photo set is the argument. When a card payment is charged back, the timestamped before-and-after pair is the evidence you submit. The IRS states that you may use any recordkeeping system suited to your business that clearly shows income and expenses, and that electronic records are acceptable provided they are complete, accurate, and accessible. A photo archive tied to the invoice it supports is a stronger record than a folder of images with no financial context — which is exactly what a documentation tool detached from your billing system produces.

2. They feed safety and compliance obligations

OSHA’s recording and reporting requirements under 29 CFR 1904 apply to many employers with more than ten employees, covering work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. OSHA’s construction compliance quick start notes that employers with ten or fewer employees during the previous calendar year are generally exempt from routine recordkeeping — but exemption from the log is not exemption from liability. Site condition photos taken before work begins are the cheapest insurance a contractor buys, and structured inspection forms turn an ad hoc habit into a repeatable process the whole crew follows.

3. They become advertising, which is regulated

Before-and-after images and customer reviews are advertising claims. The FTC’s guidance on endorsements, influencers, and reviews is explicit that businesses must not write or procure fake reviews, and that testimonials must be truthful and substantiated. Real, timestamped, unedited before-and-after pairs from your own jobs are the compliant way to market results, and Review Multiplier requests genuine reviews from customers who actually paid rather than manufacturing them.

Why this argues for consolidation

All three uses depend on the photo being connected to something else — an invoice, a job record, a paying customer. A standalone photo platform stores the image beautifully and knows nothing about the transaction. That is the structural gap an all-in-one closes.

The scale of the market these records support is not small. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that construction and extraction occupations employed 6.4 million people with an annual mean wage of $65,360 in May 2025, and its Occupational Outlook Handbook projects roughly 587,000 openings a year in those occupations, with employment growing faster than the average for all occupations from 2025 to 2035 and a median annual wage of $59,540. Labour is the largest cost line in most home service businesses, which is why job costing that pulls hours automatically from time tracking changes the picture more than any photo feature does.

What Photo Documentation Looks Like in Each Trade

“Document the job” means something different in every trade, and the software that fits depends on what happens to the image afterwards.

Pressure washing and soft washing

The before-and-after pair is the entire sales asset. Nobody buys pressure washing from a price list; they buy it from a photo of a driveway that used to look like theirs. Capture the surface before the first pass, capture it after, and attach both to the invoice so the customer sees the result at the moment they pay. QuoteIQ Cam plus the Before & After Photo Editor handles the pair, and the pressure washing cost calculator helps you price the next one. Trade page: pressure washing software.

Roofing

Roofing documentation is claim documentation. Pitch, decking condition, flashing, penetrations, and existing damage all need capturing before anyone touches the roof, because the adjuster’s version of events competes with yours. MapMeasure Pro auto-detects roof segments with colour-coded pitch from solar data and now includes a historical aerial imagery timeline, so you can show what the roof looked like in prior years. Trade page: roofing software, and metal roofing for standing seam work.

Painting

Painters document surface prep more than finished colour, because prep is the invisible work customers forget they paid for. Photograph the scraping, the patching, the caulk lines, and the primer coat. Attach them to a package estimate so the line item has a picture beside it. The painting cost calculator and the painting invoice template are free. Trade page: painting software.

HVAC and plumbing

These trades document model numbers, serial plates, existing corrosion, and the condition of what was there before you arrived. A photo of a cracked heat exchanger is worth more than a paragraph explaining it. Because service work repeats, the archive on the customer profile matters more than any single job folder — you want last year’s photos when you return. The HVAC cost calculator and HVAC invoice template help on the money side. Trade pages: HVAC software and plumbing software.

Electrical

Panel photos, wire gauges, breaker labels, and permit-relevant conditions. Electrical documentation frequently ends up in front of an inspector, so the form matters as much as the photo. Custom inspection forms with configurable PDF sections produce something an inspector will actually accept, and the electrical invoice template covers the billing. Trade page: electrician software.

Lawn care and landscaping

Recurring routes make the photo problem different: you are not proving one transformation, you are proving consistency across dozens of visits. Photos organised by job and date on the customer profile answer the “did you even come out?” call in seconds. Route Density and Route Optimization [Elite+] handle the scheduling side, and the lawn care cost calculator and landscaping invoice template handle the pricing. Trade pages: lawn care software and landscaping management.

Window cleaning, gutters, and exteriors

Access conditions, screen damage, and pre-existing glass scratches are the disputes that cost you money. Photograph them before the ladder goes up. The gutter cleaning cost calculator prices the work. Trade pages: window cleaning software, gutter cleaning, and roof washing.

Remodeling, concrete, and general contracting

Longer projects mean progress documentation across weeks, tied to progress billing. Photos have to map to the milestone being invoiced, which is precisely where a detached photo tool creates reconciliation work. Contract attachments [Beginner+] keep the signed agreement with the job. Free tools: the concrete cost calculator, deck cost calculator, and construction invoice template. Trade pages: remodeling, concrete contractor, general contractor, and handyman software.

Restoration, pest control, and tree care

Restoration is the most documentation-heavy trade in home services, because moisture readings, containment, and demolition scope all have to be provable months later. Pest control documents entry points and treatment locations. Tree care documents pre-existing limb condition and property protection. All three benefit from the archive living where the invoice lives. Trade pages: fire and water restoration, pest control, and tree care software. The pest control cost calculator and tree removal cost calculator are free. If your trade is not listed, browse all industries.

Who Should Choose QuoteIQ Over CompanyCam

You are paying for two systems

A documentation tool plus a CRM is the exact stack QuoteIQ is designed to collapse into one subscription.

You are still on paper or spreadsheets

Buying a photo app first solves the smallest part of the problem. Start with the system that also quotes and bills.

You measure properties to quote

Roofing, lawn, paving, and fencing work benefits more from satellite measurement than from another camera.

You want customers self-serving

InstaQuote and InstaSchedule [Elite+] let customers quote and book themselves.

When CompanyCam Is the Better Buy

  • You already run a CRM your team knows and switching would cost more in disruption than the second subscription costs in cash.
  • Offline capture is non-negotiable because of where you work.
  • You need LiDAR or dual-video capture on supported Apple hardware.
  • Your documentation volume is genuinely extreme and you want a tool built for nothing else.
  • You are a 50-plus-user operation that needs single sign-on and multi-location governance from a documentation platform specifically.

Other CompanyCam Alternatives Worth Knowing

QuoteIQ is not the only option, and the right answer depends on which problem you are actually solving.

  • Manifold — positions itself as a lower-cost documentation tool with phone-based 3D scanning and measurement, and no seat minimum. Worth a look if measurement and scanning are the point and you do not need a CRM.
  • Your existing CRM’s built-in field documentation. Several field service platforms now ship photo capture and job forms natively. Before buying a documentation subscription, check whether you are already paying for one.
  • QuoteIQ. The all-in-one route — documentation included from the Beginner plan up, with quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments in the same record. Compare it against the field on the comparison hub.

What we deliberately will not do is repeat dollar figures for vendors that do not publish a rate card. If a comparison article quotes a precise monthly price for a platform whose pricing page says “contact sales,” that number came from a third party and may be years old.

Five Questions to Answer Before You Buy Either One

Most software regret comes from buying to fix a symptom rather than the cause. Work through these before you enter a card number anywhere.

1. What actually breaks in your week?

Be specific. “I lose an hour every night rebuilding estimates from notes” points somewhere different than “customers argue about what we did.” The first is a quoting problem and a documentation tool will not touch it. The second is a documentation problem and a CRM without photo capture will not touch it either. Write down the last five things that cost you time or money, then check which product addresses more of them. If the list is mixed — and for most home service businesses it is — an all-in-one wins on arithmetic alone. If every item on the list is visual evidence, buy the specialist.

2. How many people need a login, and which ones?

Seat maths is where stacks get expensive quietly. A five-person crew on a documentation tool plus a CRM may need five seats in each, and both vendors charge $29 per additional user. Before comparing headline prices, count the people who genuinely need access versus the people who only need to see a schedule. QuoteIQ’s roles and permissions restrict what each employee reaches, and permission-limited users see shortcut cards rather than the full dashboard — so adding a field tech does not mean exposing your revenue reporting. At the top of the ladder, Max includes unlimited users at a flat rate, which changes the calculation entirely for teams above roughly fifteen people.

3. Where does the money actually flow?

A photo tool that cannot invoice means every job ends in a second system. Ask how payment is collected today and how many manual steps sit between “work finished” and “money received.” QuoteIQ supports customer payment by credit and debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay online, plus cash and check recorded in the app, with recurring invoice subscriptions for maintenance contracts and consumer financing through Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay on every plan, including during the trial. Financing matters more than most contractors expect on larger tickets — Affirm covers up to $30,000 per job over three to thirty-six months, the customer applies at checkout, and you are paid in full upfront while the provider owns collections.

4. What happens to the data if you leave?

This is the question nobody asks until they need the answer. Photo archives generally do not migrate between documentation platforms, which means every year you stay with a tool increases the cost of leaving it. Check the export path before you commit, not after. QuoteIQ includes data export on every plan and customers own their data outright. If you are evaluating any platform, ask the vendor directly what leaves with you and in what format, and get the answer in writing.

5. Are you solving a documentation problem or a follow-up problem?

A surprising number of contractors who think they need better photos actually need better follow-up. If quotes go out and go quiet, no camera fixes that. Email and text automations [Pro+] fire event-triggered sequences on estimates sent, scheduled, or declined and on invoices paid, with timing from immediate to twenty-four months out. Pipelines and Deals [Elite+] weight each opportunity by close probability so your forecast reflects reality rather than optimism, and reminders and tasks keep the small commitments from slipping. Diagnose honestly before you buy — the cheapest software is the one you did not need.

A note on trials

Run any trial on live work, not on test records. A week of real jobs tells you more than a month of poking at a demo account, and it surfaces the friction that only appears when a customer is standing next to you. Both QuoteIQ and CompanyCam offer trials — use both if you are undecided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best CompanyCam alternative in 2026?+

For home service contractors who want photo documentation inside a full business system, QuoteIQ is the strongest CompanyCam alternative in 2026. CompanyCam is documentation software only — its published Core, Crew, and Scale plans run $63, $129, and $199 per month billed annually as of September 3, 2026, and none of them quote, schedule, or invoice. QuoteIQ starts at $29.99 per month and includes QuoteIQ Cam from the $74.99 Beginner plan, alongside estimating, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection. Over 40,000 contractors use it, with a 4.7-star average across 4,103 reviews. The decision comes down to whether your gap is documentation alone or documentation plus everything around it. Photos that support what you charged also function as business records — the IRS accepts electronic recordkeeping systems that clearly show income and expenses.

How much does CompanyCam cost in 2026?+

As of September 3, 2026, CompanyCam publishes four tiers on its own pricing page: Core at $63 per month for one user, Crew at $129 per month for three users, Scale at $199 per month for three users, and a custom-priced Enterprise plan covering 50-plus users. Those figures are the annual-billed rates; CompanyCam advertises a discount for annual versus monthly billing, so month-to-month costs more. Additional users are $29 each on all three published tiers. AI credits are capped at 20 on Core and 100 on Crew and are unlimited on Scale, and video capture runs 5 minutes on Core and 10 minutes on Crew and Scale. Because none of those plans include quoting or invoicing, the real question is the stack cost. For comparison, QuoteIQ’s five plans are $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 per month, all published openly on the pricing page with per-plan detail at Beginner, Pro, and Elite, and you can model your own numbers with the free business calculators. Always confirm competitor figures at their own site before deciding.

Does CompanyCam still require a 3-user minimum?+

No — not at the entry tier. CompanyCam’s Core plan includes one user as of September 3, 2026. The three-seat minimum still applies to the Crew and Scale plans, which each include three users, but a solo operator can now buy Core without paying for seats they do not have. This is a genuine change from the older Pro, Premium, and Elite lineup that most comparison articles still describe, and any page telling you every CompanyCam plan forces three seats is out of date. It also means the seat argument is no longer the reason to choose an alternative — scope is. QuoteIQ’s ladder runs 1 user on Essentials, 2 on Beginner, 4 on Pro, 10 on Elite, and unlimited users on Max at a flat $699 per month, and each of those seats reaches the whole platform rather than a documentation module. For team-size planning, the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook projects about 587,000 annual openings in construction and extraction occupations.

Which QuoteIQ plan includes photo documentation?+

QuoteIQ Cam starts on the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month for two users. It is not included on Essentials at $29.99, so if job-site photo documentation is why you are switching, Beginner is your entry point rather than the cheapest tier. QuoteIQ Cam covers in-app capture or camera-roll upload organised by job and date, before-and-after comparisons, annotations, custom inspection forms with customisable PDF sections, job reports, attachment to quotes and invoices, shareable customer galleries, unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage, and a documentation archive that lives on the customer record. Beginner also unlocks MapMeasure Pro, Property Street View, and expense tracking in the same jump. The Before & After Photo Editor handles the marketing pair. Remember that before-and-after images are advertising claims, and the FTC requires testimonials and endorsements to be truthful and substantiated.

Can QuoteIQ replace CompanyCam and my CRM at the same time?+

That is the design intent. QuoteIQ is built as a single platform covering the workflow that a documentation tool plus a field service CRM would otherwise split: four estimate types, electronic signatures, drag-and-drop scheduling, invoicing with recurring subscriptions, customer payments by card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay online plus cash and check recorded in-app, and photo documentation from Beginner up. Higher tiers add ClientHub two-way calling and texting, job costing, route optimization, inventory management, and EmployeeHub. Whether it replaces your current stack depends on which specific features you rely on — the honest answer is to run the 14-day trial in parallel before cancelling anything. Note that Jobber charges $29 per month for each user beyond a plan’s included count, which is where stack costs tend to escalate.

How do I switch from CompanyCam to QuoteIQ?+

Start the 14-day trial and run both systems in parallel for a week rather than cutting over on day one. Import your customer list first — QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import maps CSV columns automatically from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or any other CRM, and can also pull from your phone contacts. Then build your price book so estimates are fast, connect your bank details for payouts, and start documenting live jobs in QuoteIQ Cam while your old archive stays where it is. Historical photos generally do not migrate between documentation platforms, so most contractors keep read-only access to the old account until the retention period they care about expires — worth checking against IRS guidance on how long to keep business records. Done-For-You setup is available at two tiers, $299.99 and $999.99, and includes contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session. Help is available through the contact page, the tutorial videos, and the full feature library. Data export is available on every plan.

Does QuoteIQ have AI photo features like CompanyCam?+

Yes, and they are not gated to a premium tier. AI runs on every QuoteIQ plan, funded by an IQ Credit allowance that ranges from 500 credits on Essentials to 8,000 on Max. Before & After AI generates a realistic “after” preview from the actual property photo in roughly 15 to 20 seconds and attaches it to any estimate type or invoice, which is a selling tool rather than a documentation one. The AI Estimator analyses property photos, asks targeted follow-up questions, and produces market-accurate line-item pricing for your area. AI Autopilot ships 55 integrated tools across 13 categories and takes conversational commands across the whole CRM by voice or text. The Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, and returns call summaries, metered per minute through IQ Credits. By comparison, CompanyCam caps AI credits at 20 on Core and 100 on Crew, with unlimited usage on Scale only. Regeneration consumes credits again in both systems, and QuoteIQ previews the credit cost before any AI action runs. See the features hub for the full list.

Is there a free trial for QuoteIQ, and what does it include?+

Every QuoteIQ plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose — not a stripped-down demo, and not automatically the top tier either. Pick the plan on the pricing page that matches the work you actually do, and if photo documentation is the reason you are evaluating, choose Beginner or higher so QuoteIQ Cam is switched on during the trial. A credit or debit card is required to start. The trial converts to the paid rate of the plan you selected unless you cancel before it expires, and you can cancel at any point during the 14 days. One trial is available per person, per business, and per payment method. If you want a walkthrough before committing, book a live demo with the team, or work through the tutorial videos at your own pace. Support is available on every plan, including 24/7 live help. If you are still deciding between platforms, the comparison hub covers 60-plus alternatives. For context on the market you are competing in, the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program reports 6.4 million people employed in construction and extraction occupations as of May 2025.

Key Takeaways

  • CompanyCam repriced in 2026. Its published plans are Core at $63, Crew at $129, and Scale at $199 per month billed annually, plus a custom Enterprise tier, with additional users at $29 each.
  • The three-seat minimum no longer applies at the entry tier — Core includes one user. Crew and Scale still include three.
  • CompanyCam does not quote, schedule, invoice, or run recurring billing, so most contractors pair it with a second subscription.
  • QuoteIQ publishes five plans at $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 per month, covering 1, 2, 4, 10, and unlimited users.
  • QuoteIQ Cam is included from the $74.99 Beginner plan up — not on Essentials.
  • A CompanyCam Crew plus Jobber Grow five-user stack came to $358 per month at annual-billed rates on September 3, 2026, against $299 per month for QuoteIQ Elite with ten seats.
  • Job photos double as tax substantiation, safety documentation, and regulated advertising — which is why they belong with the invoice rather than in a separate silo.
  • CompanyCam remains the better buy for offline-heavy work, LiDAR capture, and teams committed to an existing CRM.

How to Switch From CompanyCam to QuoteIQ in Four Steps

Plan for about a week of overlap. Nothing here requires you to cancel your current tools on day one.

1

Start the trial on the right plan

Sign up for the 14-day free trial and choose Beginner or higher so QuoteIQ Cam is active. The trial gives full access to the features of the plan you pick.

2

Import customers and build the price book

Bring your contact list across with AI Smart Import from any CRM’s CSV export, then load your services so estimates take seconds rather than minutes.

3

Document your next five jobs in QuoteIQ

Run live work through QuoteIQ Cam and inspection forms while your old archive stays untouched. Compare the two workflows on real jobs.

4

Connect payments, then cancel the overlap

Set up bank details, send a few invoices, confirm money lands, and only then wind down the subscriptions you are replacing.

Who Built This

QuoteIQ was founded on September 21, 2022 in Savannah, Georgia by two operators who ran service businesses before they built software for them.

Co-Founder

Mike Vidan

Co-Founder of QuoteIQ. Mike came out of the pressure washing trade, where the before-and-after photo is the sales pitch and the estimate is written in a driveway. That background is why measurement, documentation, and quoting sit in the same screen rather than in three different apps.

Co-Founder

Justin Rogers

Co-Founder of QuoteIQ. Justin has built and run service companies and focuses on the operational side of the platform — scheduling, crews, job costing, and the reporting that tells an owner which jobs actually made money.

What Contractors Say

Verified reviews from the App Store and Google Play. QuoteIQ averages 4.7 stars across 4,103 reviews.

★★★★★

I’ve been using the app for a little over a month and in my opinion, is an essential part of my business. The app is easy to use and I love how professional the estimates and invoices look, especially when you attach photos. You can upload receipts, along with pictures which will be a huge benefit come tax time. It also integrates with quick books! I am so happy with how the app works, I’d give it more than five stars if I could! In a nutshell, the app is AWESOME! Highly recommended!

★★★★★

A very good all-in-one tool to use for any small business and definitely for the service industry. Being able to make quick estimates for customers that look professional and clearly list out the services and fees while also being able to attach files/images to the invoice makes it easy to protect both the property owner and the service provider. This tool has definitely helped my business grow.

★★★★★

We are in the pressure washing business and have used several different quoting systems that all required multiple programs to do the quoting, follow up, and billing. We are now changing to Quote IQ because it has everything in one app. It also makes it easier to complete quotes on the phone or even in person. We are an expanding company and it is making it easier for us to have everybody on the same system.
