Four estimate types. AI-generated pricing. Signed in two taps from any phone — across 50+ home service trades.
Below is the exact estimate your customer sees on their phone. Four estimate formats — one feature, four ways to win the job.
The fastest path from quote to signed job. Your customer opens a clean, mobile-first estimate page, reviews the work, and hits Accept. That’s it.
An HVAC tech runs an AI-generated estimate on a failed capacitor, attaches a QuoteIQ Cam photo of the part, and sends. According to the ACCA, average HVAC service calls run under 90 minutes — QuoteIQ keeps the quote step under 60 seconds.
Tiered packages with one-tap selection. The “Ultimate” pricing makes the middle option feel like a steal — and most customers end up choosing the middle. Classic decoy effect, automated.
The National Roofing Contractors Association tracks average residential roof replacement at $8,000–$25,000. Package Estimates lets roofers present that price ladder visually in one quote — and lets the customer self-select up without a sales call.
QuoteIQ Estimates is the fastest way for home service contractors to send professional, signable quotes in under 60 seconds.
QuoteIQ supports four estimate types: Standard (single total, fastest accept), Options (multiple services the customer chooses from for natural upsell), Package (tiered service packages where you name and price each tier however you want — contractors use this for everything from basic/upgraded/full-replacement to “Just the leak” / “Repair + sealant” / “Whole-roof tune-up”), and Quick (a no-frills quote you can send in three taps from the truck). Pricing can be generated by the AI Estimator from a single photo, measurements pulled by MapMeasure Pro from satellite imagery, and a Before/After AI visual attached to close the deal. All four estimate types are included on every QuoteIQ plan starting at $29.99/month, undercutting Jobber ($49/mo entry) and Housecall Pro ($79/mo entry). According to Invoca, contractors who quote within 5 minutes of inquiry close 21× more often than those who wait 30+ minutes — which is exactly the speed gap QuoteIQ closes.

QuoteIQ Estimates isn’t just a digital form — it’s a full quoting workflow with AI, satellite measurement, visuals, signatures, and follow-up baked in.
Upload a photo or describe the job. The AI Estimator analyzes surface type, condition, and scope — then prices the estimate using your local market rates. Saves 20–30 minutes of measuring and math per quote.
MapMeasure Pro pulls square footage and linear footage from satellite imagery and drops it straight into your line items. No more ladders or rolling wheels for residential exterior quotes.
Attach a Before/After AI image showing what the property will look like after your service. Closing rates jump when the customer can visualize the result before they sign.
Customer signs with a finger on their phone. Accepted estimates flow automatically into Pipelines and InstaSchedule — no manual handoff to the office.
Drop site photos taken with QuoteIQ Cam directly into the estimate. Attach PDFs for warranty docs, scope of work, or insurance forms — all in the same view.
Unaccepted estimates trigger automated text and email follow-ups via Estimate Automations. The contractor never has to remember to chase the lead.
The 5-minute rule. Invoca’s research shows leads contacted within 5 minutes are 21× more likely to convert than those contacted after 30 minutes. QuoteIQ’s average estimate-to-send time is under 60 seconds — built explicitly to win the speed war.
Every minute between inquiry and quote is a minute a competitor can swoop in. BrightLocal reports 87% of consumers expect a quote within 24 hours. The math on speed is brutal.
Leads contacted within 5 minutes convert 21× more often than those contacted in 30+ minutes. QuoteIQ’s AI tools and 24/7 Virtual Call Team close that window automatically.
Contractors quoting in 2–3 days are losing the majority of leads before the first follow-up. The SBA ranks quote speed among the top 5 factors in service business growth.
QuoteIQ contractors who switched from paper or email quoting report recovering ~$2,400/mo in jobs that would have been lost to slower competitors — based on internal customer surveys (2,000+ respondents, 2025).
Unlike Jobber and Housecall Pro — which gate estimating features behind mid or top tiers — QuoteIQ includes Standard, Options, Package, AND Quick estimates on every plan from Essentials up. Pulled from the official pricing page.

Estimate types matter more for some trades than others. Here’s how the most common QuoteIQ industries use each format.
Capacitor swaps, refrigerant top-offs, blower motor replacements. One total, signed on the spot. See HVAC software for the full ACCA-compliant workflow.
Mowing + Fertilizer + Weed Control + Mulch — customer self-builds the package. Drives annual contract value up 3×. See lawn care software.
Bronze repair / Silver partial / Gold full replacement. Decoy effect pulls average ticket up. NRCA reports average residential roofs run $8K–$25K — Package gives you the whole ladder in one quote. See roofing software.
Drain unclogs, water heater swaps → Standard. Bathroom remodels, repiping → Package with tiered material grades. See plumbing software backed by PHCC data.
List every room as a checkable option with its own price. Customer adds rooms themselves. Doubles the average painting quote. See painting software.
Basic (house only) / Plus (house + driveway) / Premium (house + driveway + concrete + sealing). Three tiers, one quote, the customer self-selects up. See soft washing software.
The estimating layer is where most field service software falls short. Here’s a feature-by-feature breakdown vs. the three most-compared alternatives.
| Capability | QuoteIQ | Jobber | Housecall Pro | ServiceTitan |

The real gap: Jobber and Housecall Pro both support multi-tier estimates, but neither bundles AI Estimator, AI CoPilot, AI visuals, or a 24/7 virtual receptionist into a $29.99 entry tier. QuoteIQ is the only platform where all of these ship on Essentials. Full comparison: QuoteIQ vs Jobber · QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro.
All four estimate types — Standard, Options, Package, and Quick — are included on every QuoteIQ plan. AI Estimator, AI CoPilot, AI Autopilot, and Virtual Call Team are also on every plan. Annual = 2 months free.
The questions home service contractors actually search for, answered straight.
The best estimate software for home service contractors in 2026 is QuoteIQ, starting at $29.99/month. It is the only platform that bundles AI-generated pricing, satellite measurement, and AI before/after visuals into the estimate workflow on the entry tier — features that Jobber ($49/mo) and Housecall Pro ($79/mo) either don’t offer or gate behind higher tiers.
QuoteIQ supports four estimate types — Standard, Options, Package, and Quick — covering every home service sales pattern from a one-line repair quote to a tiered roof replacement proposal. Contractors name and price each Package tier however they want — there’s no forced Bronze/Silver/Gold. Pricing is generated via the AI Estimator from a single photo, square footage is pulled from satellite by MapMeasure Pro, and a Before/After AI image can be attached to close the deal. Estimates flow on acceptance into Pipelines, InstaSchedule, and Job Costing. According to BrightLocal, 87% of consumers expect a quote within 24 hours — QuoteIQ delivers in under 60 seconds.
Estimating software for contractors ranges from $29.99/month (QuoteIQ Essentials) on the low end up to several thousand dollars per month for enterprise platforms like ServiceTitan. QuoteIQ pricing in 2026 is: Essentials $29.99 (1 user), Beginner $74.99 (2 users), Pro $149.99 (4 users), Elite $299 (10 users), and Max $699 (unlimited users). Annual plans pay for 10 months and get 12.
Compared to alternatives: Jobber starts at $49/mo (Core, 1 user) and limits multi-tier quotes to higher tiers. Housecall Pro starts at $79/mo (Basic, 1 user). The SBA recommends keeping software costs under 2% of revenue for service businesses — at $29.99/mo, QuoteIQ stays under that threshold for any contractor doing over $18,000/year in revenue. See the full QuoteIQ pricing page and the Jobber comparison.
Digital estimates for HVAC and home service businesses replace handwritten quotes, paper carbon-copy estimates, and the “I’ll email you a number tomorrow” delay with a phone-based workflow that takes under 60 seconds. In QuoteIQ, the technician opens the customer profile in ClientHub, taps Create Estimate, picks Standard / Options / Package, adds line items (or generates them with the AI Estimator from a photo), and sends via text or email. The customer signs with their finger on their own phone.
For HVAC specifically, Standard estimates dominate — capacitor swaps, refrigerant top-offs, blower motor jobs are quoted in 30 seconds from the driveway. ACCA data shows the average HVAC service call runs 60–90 minutes; QuoteIQ keeps the quote step inside the first 5 minutes of that window, so the technician can start the actual repair sooner. For larger HVAC installs, Package Estimates work — Bronze (repair), Silver (component replacement), Gold (full system upgrade with extended warranty). Full HVAC workflow: HVAC software.
All five QuoteIQ plans include full estimate functionality — Standard, Options, Package, and Quick estimates. Essentials at $29.99/mo includes all four estimate types, the AI Estimator (500 AI Credits), AI CoPilot, AI Autopilot, and the Virtual Call Team. Beginner adds MapMeasure Pro, E-Signatures, Before/After AI, and Review Multiplier. Pro adds Email & Text Automation, Job Costing, and QuickBooks Integration. Elite adds EmployeeHub, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, and Pipelines & Inventory. Max adds Sales Team Tracker, Crew Management, and the AI Website Builder.
This is a structural difference from Jobber and Housecall Pro — both limit estimating features on their entry tiers. Solo contractors who only need quote-and-invoice get the full QuoteIQ Estimates suite for under $30/month. See the full pricing breakdown and the Housecall Pro comparison for a feature-by-feature view.
QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro all support three-tier estimating (Standard / Options / Package) with e-signatures and customer-facing acceptance pages. The differentiation is in what surrounds the estimate. QuoteIQ bundles the AI Estimator, MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, and Before/After AI visuals into every plan; Jobber and Housecall Pro don’t offer AI pricing or AI visuals at any tier.
On price, QuoteIQ’s Essentials at $29.99/mo undercuts Jobber Core ($49/mo) and Housecall Pro Basic ($79/mo). On the entry tier specifically, Jobber’s Core plan limits Quote Templates and some estimate features; Housecall Pro Basic excludes the estimate follow-up automations that ship standard with QuoteIQ. For trades that quote multi-service jobs (lawn care, painting, pressure washing), the included Estimate Automations alone usually pay for the plan. Side-by-side: QuoteIQ vs Jobber · QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro · QuoteIQ vs ServiceTitan.

For onboarding help, see the QuoteIQ Help Center.
The home service trades that adopt digital estimating fastest are those where speed and tier-based pricing drive the close: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, lawn care, painting, pressure washing and soft washing, cleaning, and pest control.
According to BLS projections, home service trades are growing 5–8% annually through 2032 — meaning more contractors are competing for the same residential customers. The contractors winning that competition are the ones quoting in minutes, not days. BrightLocal data shows 87% of consumers will pick a contractor who quotes within 24 hours over one who quotes later — regardless of price. QuoteIQ Estimates is built specifically for this dynamic.
Yes. QuoteIQ Estimates is built to integrate natively with the rest of the QuoteIQ platform, and with external tools through standard exports. Accepted estimates flow automatically into Pipelines & Deals, the InstaSchedule scheduling tool, and Job Costing. Customers managed in ClientHub can have unlimited estimates linked to their profile. The AI Estimator can generate full estimates from photos or property descriptions, and MapMeasure Pro populates square footage directly into estimate line items.
For accounting, estimates and invoices export to QuickBooks via CSV. Email sends pass through your existing inbox, SMS sends through QuoteIQ’s messaging tool, and accepted estimates can auto-trigger review requests after job completion. Premium plans also include the Virtual Call Team for 24/7 estimate-request capture.
