QuoteIQ puts satellite measuring, photo documentation, AI estimating, route optimization, and job costing inside one field service CRM — with plans from $29.99/month and user bundles instead of per-seat math.
For home service contractors who want measuring, photo documentation, AI estimating, customer self-booking, and routing in one system, QuoteIQ is the strongest Housecall Pro alternative in 2026. It runs five plans from $29.99/month (1 user) to $699/month (unlimited users), includes AI on every plan through monthly IQ Credits, and is used by 40,000+ contractors with a 4.7-star rating across 4,103 reviews. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial of the plan you choose.
TL;DR: QuoteIQ is an all-in-one Housecall Pro alternative starting at $29.99/month that builds in tools contractors often buy separately: satellite measuring with MapMeasure Pro, job photos with QuoteIQ Cam, photo-to-quote pricing from the AI Estimator, voice-or-text control through AI Autopilot, route optimization, job costing, and customer self-quoting. Plans run $29.99 to $699/month for 1 to unlimited users. With the IRS business mileage rate at 76¢ and BLS projecting 11% HVAC job growth, efficiency compounds. AI runs on every plan through included IQ Credits, every plan includes a 14-day free trial of the plan you choose, and 40,000+ contractors rate QuoteIQ 4.7 stars across 4,103 reviews.
Looking for a Housecall Pro alternative usually starts the same way: the monthly bill creeps up, the team grows by one person, and suddenly the software that felt affordable at the start is one of the biggest line items in the business. Housecall Pro is an established field service platform with a large user base, and it has added features since this guide was first published — native online booking, job photos, time tracking, and a set of AI assistants among them. It is a real option, and for some companies it is the right one.
But contractors keep telling us the same thing about their overall software stack, whatever platform sits at the center of it: the “core” subscription covers the office, and then the field work gets bolted on. A separate app for satellite measurements. Another for before-and-after photos. A route planner. A texting line. A tool for self-booking. Each one adds a login, a monthly charge, and one more place where customer data can fall out of sync. QuoteIQ was built by contractors who were tired of recommending ten different apps to run a service business, so the field tools live inside the same system as the estimates, the schedule, and the invoices.
That matters more every year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 569,000 openings a year across installation, maintenance, and repair occupations through 2035, with a median wage of $59,620 in May 2025. Demand for trade work is not slowing down, and the businesses that win it are the ones that can quote fast, show up on time, and get paid without chasing. The software decision is really a decision about how much of that you do by hand.
Older versions of this page compared specific Housecall Pro and third-party prices line by line. Competitor pricing changes often — plan names, user limits, and add-on menus have all shifted during 2026 — so rather than print numbers that may be stale by the time you read them, here is the method we recommend. Check Housecall Pro’s current plans on the pricing page of their website, then add up everything else you pay for to run a full job from lead to payment. Most contractors are surprised by the total once the add-ons and side apps are on one sheet.
QuoteIQ’s side of that math is simple because it’s published: Essentials is $29.99/month, Beginner is $74.99, Pro is $149.99, Elite is $299, and Max is $699, with 1, 2, 4, 10, and unlimited users respectively. Annual billing gives you two months free on every tier. There are no per-user fees inside a plan’s user bundle, and AI features run on the IQ Credits already included each month.
ClientHub messaging and AI actions draw from Elite’s 5,000 monthly IQ Credits, and every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs.
Less drive time is what Route Optimization is built to deliver. At the IRS business rate of 76¢ per mile (effective July 1, 2026), a truck logging 100 business miles a day that trims 15 miles saves about $11.40 a day — roughly $2,850 over 250 working days, and about $5,700 at a 30% cut. Illustrative math, not a guarantee.
We’ve talked with thousands of contractors in our community about why they switch field service software. The reasons are rarely about one missing button. They’re about the shape of the whole system — how it charges, how many apps it needs around it, and whether it helps in the field or only in the office.
When pricing is tied to seats, hiring your third or fifth tech becomes a software decision. QuoteIQ bundles users into each tier — 1, 2, 4, 10, or unlimited users on Max — so the bill moves when you change plans, not every time you add a person.
Measurements in one app, photos in another, routes in a third. QuoteIQ keeps satellite measuring, inspection forms, and routing inside the same customer record your quote and invoice come from.
Every in-person measurement trip costs fuel and an hour you could have spent working. Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, and MapMeasure Pro let you size up a property and send a priced estimate from the truck or the kitchen table.
Every QuoteIQ plan includes the Help Center, video tutorials, and live support, the app runs with full parity on iOS, Android, and web, and Max adds Priority Support with front-of-queue handling. Contractors can also book a live walkthrough before they commit.
Here is how QuoteIQ lines up on the features contractors use most, with the exact plan each one starts on. For Housecall Pro, we list the question to ask rather than a price or a yes/no — their plans and add-ons have changed during 2026, and the only reliable answer is their current pricing page on the day you compare. Use the right-hand column as your checklist on a sales call.

If you want to go deeper on how QuoteIQ compares with other platforms too, the QuoteIQ comparison hub covers dozens of head-to-head matchups, and the full feature directory lists every capability with its own page.
A feature list only tells you so much. What follows is how each part of QuoteIQ actually works on a real job — from the moment a lead calls to the moment the invoice is paid and the review request goes out. Plan tiers are noted so you can match features to the right plan before you start a trial.
MapMeasure Pro (Beginner and up) puts satellite measurement right inside estimate creation. Trace a lawn, driveway, deck, fence line, or roof with drawing tools built for irregular shapes, and the square footage or linear feet flow straight into your line items. Measurements save to the customer profile, and you can capture a screenshot of the traced area and attach it to the estimate as visual proof of the scope you priced. Roof segments are auto-detected from solar data with color-coded pitch, and the August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline so you can scroll back through years of photos of a property and see how it has changed.
Two companions round it out: Property Street View for a curb-level look, and Zillow Quick Access for lot and home details. On every plan, AI AutoMeasure and the Measurement Library (July 2026) speed up repeat measuring, and the Business Calculators — paint, mulch, and downstream injector calculators plus a National Average Guide — help you sanity-check pricing before the quote goes out.
Estimate types on every plan — Standard, Quick, Options (Good/Better/Best), and Package — each with photos, deposits, markup controls, draft autosave, and one-tap conversion to an invoice. Estimates and invoices can also be set to expire on a date you choose.
When a job deserves more than a line-item quote, Proposals (added in August 2026) send an estimate as a full branded proposal — your company story, services, a photo gallery, documents, and customer reviews — that you preview before sending and can save as a template. Proposals are available on every plan; each send uses 100 IQ Credits, and sends are free during the trial and on Elite and Max. Customers sign on their phone through e-signatures, and editing an estimate after it goes out automatically voids the outstanding signature request so nobody signs an outdated price. Jobs, estimates, and invoices can also carry multiple contacts, so a property manager and an owner both get the texts, emails, and on-the-way notifications.
QuoteIQ Cam (Beginner and up) captures photos in the app or pulls them from your camera roll, organized automatically by job and date. You get before-and-after comparisons, annotations, custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections, job reports, and unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage. Photos attach to quotes and invoices, and you can share a gallery with the customer. The Before & After Photo Editor turns a pair of shots into a clean side-by-side for social posts and proposals.
Documentation isn’t only marketing. Painters and remodelers working in homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, which requires certified firms and lead-safe work practices. A dated photo record and a customer documentation archive on the contact make it far easier to show what condition a surface was in and what work was done.
How long renovation firms must keep records for each job under EPA’s RRP program, according to EPA’s work practices guidance. A job-by-job photo and document archive in QuoteIQ Cam keeps that paperwork in one place instead of scattered across phones.
AI runs on every QuoteIQ plan through monthly IQ Credits — 500 on Essentials up to 8,000 on Max — with no separate AI add-on. Three tools do three different jobs, and it helps to keep them straight:
AI Autopilot is the general manager. AI Autopilot (called “Ask AI” inside the app) gives you conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text, across 55 integrated tools in 13 categories. Real commands contractors use: “Move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer,” or “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.”
AI Estimator is the photo-to-quote specialist. The AI Estimator analyzes property photos, asks targeted follow-up questions, and generates market-accurate line-item pricing for your local area — a fast first draft you review and send.
AI CoPilot is the in-document editor. It lives inside estimate and invoice creation and handles quick edits: add services, set discounts, change tax, add deposits, or draft a client message, in Auto Accept or Review mode.
Around those three sit Before & After AI (a realistic “after” preview generated from the actual photo in about 15–20 seconds), the AI Text Generator for one-tap professional messages, and Ask AI Reports for conversational reporting. Every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs and asks you to confirm, so there are no surprise draws.
Integrated tools across 13 categories that AI Autopilot can run from a single voice or text command — rescheduling, bulk invoicing, customer messaging, reporting, and more — on every plan.
ClientHub (Pro and up) gives your business a dedicated phone number with two-way calling and texting inside QuoteIQ from a phone, tablet, or computer. Every call and text is saved to the customer profile and synced across devices, and call routing sends incoming calls by time of day, caller, or availability — to a team member, an outside number, or the Virtual Call Team. That AI phone team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam, and records and transcribes every call, metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute, so lower tiers are limited to the minutes their credits cover.
Email & Text Automations (Pro and up) run event-triggered, multi-step sequences with personalization tags, and since June 2026 you can describe an automation in plain language and QuoteIQ builds it for you. On Elite and up, Mass Campaigns send targeted SMS and email blasts to tagged customer segments — you connect your own Twilio and SendGrid accounts, and carrier fees are yours. Review Multiplier closes the loop with an instant post-payment redirect to your review page plus an automated email and SMS review-request sequence.
InstaQuote (Elite and up) lets customers select services from your price library on your website, see a real-time total, and submit — the quote lands instantly by email or text, and they can approve and book. InstaSchedule handles 24/7 self-booking against your real calendar availability, and it’s reachable from all four estimate types and from InstaQuote forms. Google Reserve booking puts a booking path in front of people searching on Google Search and Maps.
The Client Portal (Pro and up, launched March 2026) gives every customer a branded, secure link — no app download, no account — where they can approve estimates, pay invoices, see appointments and inspections, submit service requests, and leave a review. Each section can be toggled on or off globally or per customer, and website contact forms feed new requests straight into your pipeline.
Invoicing is one tap from an estimate or job on every plan, with partial payments and deposits, tips at checkout, Net 15/30/60/90 terms, automated payment reminders, and reusable invoice templates. Invoice Subscriptions handle recurring service with full discount, tax, fee, and deposit math. Through online payments, customers can pay by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and cash or check is recorded in the app.
For bigger tickets, Consumer Financing is available on every plan: Affirm (up to $30,000 per job, 3–36 months), Klarna, and Afterpay. The customer applies at checkout in about 30 seconds, you’re paid in full upfront, and the provider carries collections and default risk. The CFPB’s research on the buy now, pay later market documents how quickly pay-over-time credit has spread, and offering it at checkout can keep a large repair from stalling over budget.
The per-job ceiling on Affirm financing through QuoteIQ, with terms from 3 to 36 months — available on every plan, including during the trial. You’re paid upfront; Affirm owns the collections.
Job Costing (Pro and up) adds a per-job report: total price minus labor minus expenses equals profit, with a margin bar. Labor pulls automatically from clocked hours at each employee’s hourly rate, and Expense Tracking (Beginner and up) links categorized expenses and receipts to jobs. Business analytics covers revenue by service, customer, and employee, conversion rate, average ticket, repeat rate, and customer lifetime value.
The SBA’s guidance on managing a small business starts with bookkeeping for a reason, and the IRS explains that your records must support your gross income and deductions — electronic systems included. With data export on every plan and QuickBooks Online sync from Pro up, your books and your job records stay in agreement.
On Elite and up, Route Density shows where your work clusters so you can plan the day’s zone, and Route Optimization sequences the stops inside it for the least drive time — accounting for appointment windows and job duration, recalculating when a late job gets added. Density decides where; Optimization decides the order.
EmployeeHub brings GPS location tracking — a live team map while employees are clocked in that pauses on breaks and stops at clock-out — plus Time Tracker Pro for GPS clock-in and per-job hours, and Team Communication for one-on-one and group chats. Roles and permissions control who sees what. QuoteIQ doesn’t calculate overtime automatically or run payroll; hours export to the payroll system you already use. That clean hours record matters, because the Fair Labor Standards Act requires overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek for covered nonexempt employees.
The minimum overtime rate the FLSA requires for covered nonexempt employees after 40 hours in a workweek. Time Tracker Pro’s GPS clock-ins, break durations, and edit history give you the hours record to calculate it accurately in your payroll system.
Pipelines & Deals (Elite and up; called “Deals” in the app) gives you a kanban board with stage close-probabilities, so weighted value — amount times probability — produces a realistic forecast. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. Inventory Management on Elite covers five modules: Products, Locations (warehouse, truck, job site), Suppliers, Orders, and Transactions. Stock deducts when an invoice is paid, and a deposit alone doesn’t count as paid.
On Max, the Sales Team Tracker handles commission percentages per rep with leaderboards and year-to-date figures, Crews adds crew creation, scheduling, and crew-level analytics, and multiple businesses — four included — share one pool of IQ Credits. The AI Website Builder is included on Max and a $34.99/month add-on on the other plans.
QuoteIQ publishes every plan price on its pricing page — no “call for a quote,” no per-vehicle charges, and no per-user fees inside each plan’s user bundle. Each tier includes everything in the tier below it, plus a monthly allotment of IQ Credits for AI features, texting, and calling.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (2 months free) | Users | IQ Credits / mo | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $29.99 | $299.99 | 1 | 500 | Solo operators: estimates, invoicing, scheduling, e-signatures, AI |
| Beginner | $74.99 | $749.99 | 2 | 1,500 | Adds MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, expense tracking, custom branding |
| Pro | $149.99 | $1,499.99 | 4 | 3,000 | Adds ClientHub, automations, Client Portal, job costing, QuickBooks Online |
| Elite | $299 | $2,990 | 10 | 5,000 | Adds InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, routing, inventory, pipelines, EmployeeHub |
| Max | $699 | $6,990 | Unlimited | 8,000 (shared) | Adds crews, sales tracker, AI Website Builder, 4 extra businesses, Priority Support |
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose. Upgrading mid-cycle charges only the prorated difference, and your credits jump immediately. Optional extras include the AI Website Builder ($34.99/month, included on Max) and Done-For-You setup in two tiers, $299.99 and $999.99, which covers contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session.
Per user, per month, on Elite: $299 across 10 included users. Four techs on Pro works out to about $37.50 each at $149.99. Adding people inside your plan’s bundle never changes the bill.
Match the plan to the features you actually use today, not the ones you might use someday. A solo operator who mainly quotes, schedules, and invoices can start on Essentials — the Census Bureau counts 29.8 million nonemployer businesses in the U.S., and many trade businesses start exactly that way. If you measure properties remotely or live on job photos, Beginner is the floor. If your business depends on a dedicated texting line, automated follow-ups, and QuickBooks Online sync, start on Pro. If you run multiple techs with routing, self-booking, and a sales pipeline, Elite is where most growing teams land. Because upgrades are prorated, starting one tier lower and moving up costs nothing extra.
The right plan depends less on your trade and more on how many people touch a job and which field tools you’d otherwise pay for separately. Here is how contractors at four common stages typically set up QuoteIQ after leaving Housecall Pro.
Essentials at $29.99/month covers all four estimate types, invoicing with online payments, scheduling, e-signatures, consumer financing, and AI Autopilot and the AI Estimator on 500 monthly IQ Credits. If you quote by square footage and hate driving out to measure, step up to Beginner at $74.99 for MapMeasure Pro and QuoteIQ Cam — and a second user seat for a helper or spouse handling the office.
Pro at $149.99/month for four users is where communication gets built in: a ClientHub business number for calls and texts, Email & Text Automations that follow up on every estimate, on-the-way texts, the Client Portal, Job Costing, and QuickBooks Online sync. Automated estimate follow-ups keep every open quote moving without anyone having to remember to call.
Elite at $299/month covers up to 10 users — about $29.90 per person when the bundle is full. It adds Route Optimization and Route Density, EmployeeHub with GPS tracking and Time Tracker Pro, InstaQuote and InstaSchedule so customers price and book themselves, Inventory Management, and up to five sales pipelines, with 5,000 IQ Credits a month for AI and messaging.
Max at $699/month removes the user cap entirely and adds crew creation and scheduling, the Sales Team Tracker for commissions, unlimited pipelines, the AI Website Builder, four additional businesses sharing one 8,000-credit pool, and Priority Support. For a company running a lawn brand and a pressure washing brand side by side, it keeps both under one login and one bill.
The biggest fear about changing software is the gap — the week where quotes go out late and nobody can find a customer’s gate code. A clean switch avoids that by running both systems side by side for a short overlap and moving data in a planned order.
Export your customers from Housecall Pro as a CSV, then bring them in with AI Smart Import, which maps columns from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or any CRM automatically. You can also import from your phone’s contacts. Everything lands in the client database with notes and addresses attached.
Load your services and rates into the price book so every estimate type pulls from the same numbers. Save common jobs as estimate templates, and set up package estimates for bundled services you sell often.
Rebuild recurring visits on the drag-and-drop calendar and connect Google Calendar sync. A note on vocabulary: since the August 2026 update, a “job” in QuoteIQ is the scheduled visit, and the underlying work record is a “job form.”
If you’d rather not do it yourself, Done-For-You setup ($299.99 or $999.99) handles contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session. Use reminders and tasks to track anything still in flight during the overlap.
Before you cancel anything, export your historical records from your old system and keep them. The IRS advises keeping employment tax records for at least four years, and your old invoices and payment history belong in that archive whichever software you land on.
We build QuoteIQ, so weigh this section accordingly — but an honest comparison should tell you when not to switch. If your team is trained, your workflows are tuned, and the integrations you depend on are all connected, the cost of changing may outweigh the savings for now. Housecall Pro offers online booking, job photos, time tracking, and AI assistants of its own, and some contractors are simply happy there.
Switching tends to pay off when one or more of these is true: you pay for separate apps to measure, photograph, route, or text; your bill jumps every time you add a technician; you want customers to price and book their own jobs on your site; or you want AI that builds a priced estimate from photos and runs the CRM from a single command. If two or more of those describe your business, a 14-day trial on the plan you’d actually use is the fastest way to find out.
QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — two home service business owners and YouTube creators with large followings in the contractor community. QuoteIQ LLC was founded on September 21, 2022, and is based in Savannah, Georgia.
They built QuoteIQ because they got tired of recommending ten different apps to run a service business. They knew there had to be a better way — one platform that handles quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments, photo documentation, property measurement, and customer communication without breaking the bank.
Every feature in QuoteIQ was built from real feedback from working contractors. Suggest-a-Feature voting lives inside the app, and ideas go directly to the development team — which is why monthly releases on the QuoteIQ updates page keep adding tools like Proposals, electronic signatures, historical map imagery, and multiple contacts per job.
QuoteIQ serves 50+ home service industries. If you provide on-site services, create quotes, schedule appointments, and invoice customers, QuoteIQ was built for you. A few of the trades that switch most often, with the free pricing tools that help each one quote with confidence:
Pressure washing and window cleaning crews measure surfaces with MapMeasure Pro and check rates against the pressure washing cost calculator. Holiday lighting installers use the Christmas light installation cost calculator for linear-foot pricing.
Lawn care and landscaping businesses run recurring routes and price with the lawn care cost calculator. Tree care companies lean on the tree removal cost calculator, and landscapers bill cleanly with the landscaping invoice template.
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors use Options estimates for repair-versus-replace decisions, the HVAC cost calculator for installs, and the electrical invoice template for service calls.
Painting contractors quote with the painting cost calculator, roofing teams measure roofs and pitch from aerial imagery, and handyman businesses invoice fast with the handyman invoice template.
Cleaning and pest businesses fit just as well: house cleaning companies price visits with the house cleaning cost calculator, and pest control operators use the pest control cost calculator to set recurring-plan rates. Every calculator lives in the home service business calculators hub. For a sense of where demand is heading, the BLS projects HVAC technician employment to grow 11% from 2025 to 2035, with about 40,600 openings a year.
Projected annual openings for HVAC mechanics and installers over the decade, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics — with a median wage of $61,010 in May 2025. More work per tech means software that removes admin time pays for itself faster.
For most home service contractors, QuoteIQ is the best Housecall Pro alternative in 2026 because it builds field tools into the core platform instead of leaving them to separate apps. MapMeasure Pro measures properties from satellite imagery, QuoteIQ Cam stores job photos and inspection reports, the AI Estimator drafts priced quotes from photos, and Route Optimization is designed to cut drive time 15–30%. Plans run from $29.99/month for one user to $699/month for unlimited users, and 40,000+ contractors use it with a 4.7-star rating across 4,103 reviews. If you want to compare other platforms too, the comparison hub covers dozens of matchups. Demand for trade work is strong — the BLS projects about 569,000 openings a year across installation, maintenance, and repair jobs — so pick the system that removes the most admin time per tech.
QuoteIQ costs $29.99/month on Essentials (1 user), $74.99 on Beginner (2 users), $149.99 on Pro (4 users), $299 on Elite (10 users), and $699 on Max (unlimited users), with two months free on annual billing. Housecall Pro’s plans and add-ons change often, so check the current figures on their own pricing page the day you compare, then add every separate app you pay for — measuring, photos, routing, texting. That total, not the base plan, is the real comparison. Every QuoteIQ plan also includes AI through monthly IQ Credits, so there is no separate AI add-on to budget for. For a 10-person team on Elite, QuoteIQ works out to $29.90 per user per month with measuring, photos, and routing included. If mileage is part of your math, the IRS business rate is 76¢ per mile from July 1, 2026, so drive time saved by routing counts too.
Export your customer list from Housecall Pro as a CSV, then upload it with AI Smart Import, which automatically maps columns from Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, or any CRM into the client database. You can also import straight from your phone’s contacts, which is available on every plan. Next, load your services into the price book, rebuild recurring visits on the scheduling calendar, and connect Google Calendar sync. If you’d rather hand it off, Done-For-You setup comes in two tiers, $299.99 and $999.99, covering contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session. Customers own their data on QuoteIQ, and export works on every plan. Run both systems for a short overlap so no quote falls through, keep your data exportable, and archive your old invoices — the IRS advises keeping employment tax records for at least four years.
Yes. On Elite ($299/month, 10 users) and Max, Route Optimization sequences each day’s stops for the least drive time, accounting for appointment windows and job length, and is designed to cut drive time 15–30%. Route Density shows where your jobs cluster so you can plan the day’s zone first — Density decides where the crew works, and Optimization decides the order of stops. EmployeeHub adds GPS location tracking — a live team map while employees are clocked in that pauses on breaks and stops at clock-out — and Time Tracker Pro records GPS clock-ins and per-job hours. QuoteIQ doesn’t calculate overtime or run payroll; hours export to your payroll system. Accurate time records matter because the Fair Labor Standards Act requires overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek for covered nonexempt employees.
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose — so a trial on Pro unlocks Pro features, and a trial on Elite unlocks Elite features. There is one trial per person, business, and payment method. A credit or debit card is required to start. The trial converts to the paid plan you selected unless you cancel before it ends, and you can cancel any time during the 14 days. Upgrades after the trial are prorated, so starting on a lower plan costs nothing extra. To get the most out of it, import your customers with AI Smart Import on day one, send a real quote with Standard Estimates, and test Consumer Financing at checkout, which works during the trial. Want a guided tour first? You can book a live demo. The SBA’s small business management guidance is a useful checklist for what your software should cover.
Yes — QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on Pro ($149.99/month) and higher plans. The QuickBooks integration syncs invoices, payments, customers, and expense categories, uses duplicate-sync locks so records aren’t posted twice, and automatically syncs missing customers before an estimate syncs. Sync runs from inside QuoteIQ, so your office never re-keys invoices or payments into the accounting file. Pair it with Expense Tracking for receipts linked to jobs, Job Costing for profit per job, and invoicing with automated payment reminders, and your books and job records stay aligned. Data export is available on every plan for anything you want to analyze outside the app. Clean digital records matter at tax time: the IRS says your records must show gross income, deductions, and credits, and electronic accounting systems must meet the same standards as paper books.
Every QuoteIQ plan includes AI through monthly IQ Credits — 500 on Essentials up to 8,000 on Max — with no separate AI add-on. AI Autopilot (called “Ask AI” in the app) runs the CRM by voice or text across 55 tools in 13 categories, so a command like “invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them” just happens. The AI Estimator turns property photos into market-accurate, line-item pricing. Before & After AI generates a realistic “after” preview from the real photo in about 15–20 seconds. The AI Text Generator writes professional messages in one tap, and the Virtual Call Team answers calls 24/7 at 125 IQ Credits per minute. Every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs, and credits reset each billing cycle. The SBA now includes AI tools in its small business management guidance, reflecting how common they’ve become.
Yes, starting on the Beginner plan ($74.99/month, 2 users). MapMeasure Pro measures lawns, driveways, decks, fences, and roofs from satellite imagery inside estimate creation, with a historical aerial imagery timeline added in August 2026, and measurements save to the customer profile for repeat visits. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access fill in curb views and property details. QuoteIQ Cam captures and organizes photos by job and date, adds annotations and inspection forms, builds job reports, and stores unlimited 4K photos and video in the cloud. Photos attach directly to quotes and invoices. That archive is especially useful for painters and remodelers working in pre-1978 homes, where the EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires certified firms and lead-safe practices, and records for each job must be kept for three years.
See how estimates, scheduling, invoicing, measuring, and photo documentation fit together in one app — the same workflow you’d rebuild after leaving Housecall Pro.

Export your customer list from Housecall Pro as a CSV and upload it with AI Smart Import, which maps the columns automatically. Phone contacts can be imported too.
Add your services and rates, save common jobs as estimate templates, and rebuild recurring visits on the drag-and-drop calendar.
Measure a property, attach photos, send the estimate for e-signature, then convert it to an invoice your customer can pay online by card, ACH, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

I have been using quoteiq for a year and a half now and I can’t express enough how easy/User friendly it is to use. I have tried a couple other crm’s and though they also had a lot of features they were hard to navigate and had a poor layout. I get tons of compliments from customers on how professional my quotes look and how easy it is to make payments. Also the cost of quoteiq is second to none, by far most affordable. I highly recommend!!
Josh Shaffer Verified review · Google PlayI was nervous switching systems, but QuoteIQ made the move seamless. Everything from customer details to quote follow-ups is now automated and stress-free.
Emilio Deonna Verified review · App StoreGreat app! Very user friendly. Perfect for saving customers information, photos, and addresses. Also has useful tools to help you create invoices on the fly. And you can even measure the square footage of the house/roof and concrete. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
