Workiz sells phone and AI as separate add-ons. By the time you add what QuoteIQ includes for $29.99/mo, you’re looking at $525+/mo — and you still don’t get AI Autopilot.
Workiz is well-funded ($60.3M raised, $200M valuation), has 120,000+ users, and was built by locksmiths who understood field service. It’s a legitimate platform with strong scheduling, dispatching, and a deep integrated phone system. The “built by locksmiths” story parallels QuoteIQ’s “built by contractors” positioning.
The problem is how it’s priced. The listed plan prices ($225–$325/mo) don’t include the phone system (~$100/mo add-on) or AI answering (~$200/mo add-on). Per-user fees run $46–65/month per extra seat. So a 7-person team on Workiz Pro with phone and AI is looking at $860+/mo — for features QuoteIQ Elite includes at $299/mo. And Workiz still doesn’t have AI Autopilot, AI Estimator, Before/After AI, MapMeasure Pro, InstaQuote, Pipelines, or Route Density at any price.
Workiz’s pricing page says “$225/mo.” Here’s what it looks like once you add the phone system and AI that QuoteIQ includes on every plan.
Workiz’s own pricing page states: “Workiz Communication (sold separately)” and “AI dispatcher that answers after-hour calls before competitors do. Sold separately, requires phone plan.” The phone system and AI answering are not included in any plan tier. A Capterra reviewer confirms: “CRM + phone service costs around $400 per month. The phone service alone costs $100 but only includes 1,500 SMS messages.”
Even before phone and AI add-ons, Workiz’s base subscription is 4–7.5x more expensive than QuoteIQ’s entry plan.

Not as add-ons. Not through integrations. These features don’t exist in Workiz.
More than half of contractors use Android devices. Workiz’s Google Play rating is 3.0/5 — one of the lowest in the field service space. QuoteIQ scores 4.5/5 on Android and 4.7/5 on iOS. If your field crew runs Android, this matters every day.
Workiz has $60M in funding and 120K+ users. It has real strengths worth knowing about.
Workiz’s phone system includes call masking, call flows, call queue, call recording with tags, and ad/source tracking — features built for phone-heavy businesses like locksmiths and HVAC. QuoteIQ’s ClientHub covers calling and texting but lacks call masking and ad attribution.
Customers can pay over time through Sunbit or Wisetack integration. Increases close rates on high-ticket HVAC and plumbing jobs. QuoteIQ has no consumer financing integration.
Native Angi Leads, Thumbtack, and Dispatch.me integrations bring leads directly into the CRM. QuoteIQ doesn’t have these lead marketplace connections.
Customer self-scheduling is available on every Workiz plan — even the free Lite plan. QuoteIQ restricts InstaSchedule to Elite ($299/mo). If self-booking on a budget is critical, Workiz has the edge here.
Workiz Lite is free for up to 2 users with 20 jobs/invoices/estimates. It’s severely limited for real businesses but useful for testing the platform before committing. QuoteIQ has no free tier (14-day trial instead).
Track serial numbers, warranty info, and service history per client location (Ultimate). Also offers purpose-built maintenance agreement management. Useful for HVAC and appliance repair businesses.
Everything Workiz charges extra for — phone, AI, reviews — QuoteIQ includes from $29.99/mo. Plus AI Autopilot, MapMeasure, and InstaQuote that Workiz doesn’t have at any price.
