QuoteIQ gives pest control companies tiered service-plan estimates, satellite perimeter measurement, chemical and bait inventory, per-stop job costing, recurring subscription billing, termite and wildlife upsell packages, and a full AI toolset — starting at $29.99 per month.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for pest control companies in 2026. It combines Good/Better/Best service-plan estimating, satellite perimeter and yard measurement, chemical and bait inventory, per-stop job costing, recurring invoice subscriptions, and a built-in AI suite in one platform that starts at $29.99 per month. Most multi-route pest control companies land on the Pro plan at $149.99 per month for 4 users, which unlocks job costing, ClientHub calling and texting, automations and QuickBooks Online. Route-heavy operations that need inventory management, route optimization and EmployeeHub move up to Elite at $299 per month for 10 users. QuoteIQ is rated 4.7 stars across 4,103 reviews by more than 40,000 contractors.
TL;DR: Pest control runs on recurring routes, chemical cost per stop, and upsells — so the CRM has to price tiers, measure properties, track product, and bill on a schedule. QuoteIQ does all four: Options Estimates put Basic, Premium and Complete plans on one screen, MapMeasure Pro measures foundation perimeter and yard area from satellite before you drive out, Inventory Management tracks concentrate, granular bait and stations across trucks and warehouse, Invoice Subscriptions bill quarterly and monthly plans automatically, Job Costing shows profit per stop, and QuoteIQ Cam documents every treatment in 4K for the compliance file your commercial accounts and the OSHA Hazard Communication program both require. Product handling itself is governed by EPA pesticide rules — your CRM’s job is the paper trail, the pricing and the profit math around it. Plans run $29.99 to $699 per month.
Most field service software was designed around the single job: quote it, do it, invoice it, move on. Pest control does not work that way. A pest control company sells a relationship on a schedule — quarterly general pest, bi-monthly perimeter, monthly whole-property protection — and the money is made or lost on the margin of a fifteen-minute stop repeated hundreds of times a month. That means the CRM has to handle tiered plan pricing, recurring billing, chemical consumption, technician time, and route sequencing as one connected system rather than five disconnected apps.
QuoteIQ was built by home service operators for exactly this shape of business. It handles the estimate, the schedule, the chemical, the invoice, the payment, the documentation and the follow-up in one platform, with pest control software configuration available out of the box. The free pest control cost calculator is a good place to sanity-check your own service pricing before you build a price book, and the wider home service business calculators cover hourly rate, markup and job cost math that every route-based operation needs.
The trade itself is regulated in ways that make documentation non-negotiable. Products must be registered under FIFRA before they can be sold or applied, and the EPA registration process defines what a label allows; you can look up any product in the EPA registered product database. Commercial accounts want a treatment record on file. Health inspectors want a service log. Your own technicians need safety data sheets available on the truck. A CRM that stores photos, forms and contracts against the customer record is doing regulatory work, not just sales work.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks pest control workers as their own occupation and reports a median wage of roughly $20.90 per hour in its published occupational data (BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook). That figure is the anchor for every per-stop margin calculation in this guide: if a technician costs you roughly $21 an hour loaded, a 35-minute stop carries about $12.25 of labor before chemical, fuel or drive time. Time Tracker Pro feeds those clocked hours straight into Job Costing so the number is measured instead of guessed.
Nearly every profitable pest control company sells three levels of protection rather than one price. Options Estimates present all three side by side on the same document so the homeowner compares your offers to each other instead of comparing you to the company down the road. A typical ladder you would configure in your own price book looks like this: Basic at $135 per quarter for exterior perimeter spray and a granular barrier; Premium at $195 bi-monthly adding interior baseboard and crack-and-crevice work; Complete at $315 per month for whole-property coverage including attic dust, crawl space treatment, rodent monitoring and seasonal mosquito service. On those figures a Basic customer is worth $540 a year and a Complete customer is worth $3,780 — a $3,240 annual difference decided by whether the homeowner can see the options at once.
Those are illustrative numbers, not market rates; your own pricing depends on pest pressure, property size, drive density and local competition. What matters is that the estimate tool can carry the structure. QuoteIQ ships four estimate types — Standard for line-item work, Quick for simple callbacks, Options for tiered plans and Package for bundled annual protection — and any of them can be sent by text, email, PDF or link, signed with e-signatures, and converted straight into a recurring invoice subscription.
MapMeasure Pro (Beginner plan and above) measures directly inside estimate creation from satellite imagery: foundation perimeter in linear feet for barrier work, total yard square footage for granular application, driveway and hardscape area, and the drawing tools to handle irregular lots. Measurements save to the customer profile and export into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of scope. The August 2026 release added a historical imagery timeline so you can scroll back through years of aerial photos of a property — useful when a homeowner insists the woodpile against the south wall has never been there. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access sit alongside it on the same tier.
The practical gain is that a technician arrives with scope and price already calculated. A 220-linear-foot perimeter and an 8,500-square-foot yard tell you how much diluted barrier solution and granular product the job consumes and roughly how many stations the property needs at your standard spacing, before anyone walks the lot. That is time back on every consultation and a consistent quote regardless of which estimator runs it.
Plan tiers are noted on each card. QuoteIQ’s plan ladder runs Essentials, Beginner, Pro, Elite and Max, and every plan includes the four estimate types, scheduling, invoicing, customer payments and the AI toolset. Feature gates below reflect the current published plan pages.
Present Basic, Premium and Complete protection plans on a single estimate so the homeowner chooses a level rather than a yes or no. Options Estimates carry photos, notes, terms, deposits, markup and discount controls, and hidden line-item pricing when you would rather sell the outcome than the parts list. Accepted estimates convert to a recurring subscription in one action.
MapMeasure Pro measures foundation perimeter, yard area, driveways and irregular shapes from aerial imagery inside the estimate. Roof segments are auto-detected with color-coded pitch, measurements save to the customer profile, and screenshots attach to the quote. Historical imagery lets you compare a property across several years.
Inventory Management runs five modules — Products, Locations, Suppliers, Orders and Transactions — so concentrate, granular bait, stations, traps and exclusion materials are tracked across warehouse, trucks and job sites with reorder points and In Stock / Low / Out indicators. Materials on estimates link to products so pricing stays current. Stock deducts when the invoice is paid, and a deposit does not count as paid.
Job Costing gives every job a Report tab: 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 expenses link to the job. That turns “the quarterly route feels profitable” into a number you can route and price against.
Package Estimates bundle specialty work — baiting system installation with annual monitoring, liquid barrier treatment priced per linear foot, wildlife exclusion per entry point, attic remediation, crawl space encapsulation — into one document alongside the recurring plan. Contract attachments keep warranty terms and safety data sheets bound to the estimate.
Before & After AI generates a realistic “after” image from the actual photo you took — a crawl space with damaged vapor barrier rendered as a sealed, treated space — in about 15 to 20 seconds, attachable to any estimate type or invoice. It runs on IQ Credits, and each regeneration draws credits again, with the cost shown before the action runs.
Scheduling handles quarterly, bi-monthly and monthly frequencies across hundreds of accounts with drag-and-drop day, week, month and employee-timeline views, color-coded status, recurring series you can move one occurrence at a time, Schedule Later for undated work, and a GEO-Schedule map view. Automated appointment reminders go out by SMS and email.
QuoteIQ Cam captures photo and video organized by job and date, with before/after comparisons, annotations, custom inspection forms with templated PDF sections, unlimited 4K cloud storage and a documentation archive on the contact. Commercial kitchens and health department files run on exactly this kind of evidence.
Invoice Subscriptions bill quarterly and monthly plans automatically with full discount, tax, fee and deposit math. Customers pay by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay online, with cash and check recorded in-app. Consumer financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay is available on every plan for larger termite and exclusion jobs.
AI Autopilot is conversational control of the CRM by voice or text, with 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. Real commands: move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer, or invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them. In the app the interface is labelled “Ask AI” — same feature, different name.
Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam, records and transcribes every call, sends summaries and notifications, and runs outbound campaigns from a knowledge base and agent voice you configure. It is metered through IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute, so lower plans have fewer available minutes. Self-booking is handled separately by InstaSchedule.
Pipelines — shown as “Deals” in the app — give you Kanban and list views, stages with close probability, weighted forecasting (amount times probability), six-metric analytics, multi-assignee deals, attachments and internal notes. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. Run residential recurring, commercial contracts, termite leads and realtor referrals as separate boards.
The walkthrough below is a composite illustration, not a customer case study — the figures are modelled so you can substitute your own. It follows a two-technician operation with an owner who sells and inspects, running QuoteIQ on the Elite plan because the business needs inventory, routing and EmployeeHub. Every dollar figure comes from the per-stop math established above rather than from published industry data.
The owner opens scheduling and sees 28 stops across two routes: 16 residential recurring in the southeast territory, 12 in the northeast including two commercial accounts. Inventory shows what each truck is carrying by location — concentrate by the gallon, granular bait by the pound, bait blocks by the case, glue boards and traps by count — with reorder points flagging anything running low. Route optimization has already sequenced both routes for minimum drive time, which QuoteIQ measures at a 15 to 30 percent reduction in windshield hours. Both technicians clock in from their first stop through Time Tracker Pro, and route notes on three callback accounts go out through team communication.
Technician A is on stop six of sixteen, a Premium bi-monthly service at a 2,800-square-foot home. He shoots before photos of ant trails along the south foundation with QuoteIQ Cam, treats the 180-linear-foot perimeter, does interior baseboards, dusts the attic eaves, refreshes six exterior stations and shoots after photos. Technician B is at a commercial restaurant account running monthly general pest plus rodent monitoring: he photographs every station, logs activity at two of fourteen, seals a gap under the dishwasher line, and completes the inspection form the health department expects on file. Materials consumed on each visit are recorded against the job; stock levels move when the invoice is paid, which keeps the ledger tied to money rather than to a checkbox.
A homeowner called about frass in the garage. Before arriving the owner used MapMeasure Pro to measure a 240-linear-foot foundation perimeter and 10,200-square-foot yard, checked Property Street View for tree canopy and a woodpile against the south wall, and pulled Zillow Quick Access for property context. He confirms active subterranean termites on three piers and builds an Options Estimate in the crawl space: Standard at $2,640 for a liquid barrier at $11 per linear foot with a one-year warranty; Premium at $4,080 for barrier plus a 24-station baiting system with annual monitoring; Complete at $6,280 adding moisture barrier and insulation replacement. A Before & After preview shows the crawl space sealed and treated. The homeowner takes Premium, e-signs with warranty terms and safety data sheets attached, and pays a $2,040 deposit through online payments before the truck leaves the driveway.
Still at the property, the owner builds a Package Estimate for ongoing protection: Complete monthly general pest at $315 per month ($3,780 a year), quarterly rodent station monitoring at $50 a quarter ($200 a year), and mosquito yard service April through October at $175 a month ($1,225 a season). The bundle is $5,205 a year at the illustrative rates used here. The customer has already committed to the termite work, so the incremental sale costs nothing in acquisition. She adds the monthly plan starting immediately, which turns a $4,080 one-time job into $4,080 plus $3,780 of recurring revenue in year one. Job costing puts the termite work at roughly 52 percent margin and the recurring stops far higher, because chemical and time per visit stay low relative to the plan price.
Route A completed 78 residential stops generating $7,410 at roughly $28.79 of cost per stop — about $2,246 in total cost, $5,164 gross profit, 69.7 percent margin. Route B completed 64 stops including commercial work generating $8,940 at $31.20 per stop, so $1,997 of cost, $6,943 gross profit and 77.7 percent margin. The termite job carried $1,959 of materials and labor against a $4,080 contract for $2,121 of profit. A wildlife exclusion job earlier in the week — four entry points sealed at $2,200 — cost $680 for $1,520 of profit. Business analytics rolls all of it into revenue by service, by customer and by employee, with conversion rate, average ticket and completion rate alongside. The point is not the total; it is that each line is measured rather than estimated at year end.
The termite install finishes Friday, final 4K documentation goes on the job record, and Review Multiplier handles the follow-up — it ships both an instant post-payment redirect to your review page and a full email and SMS review-request automation with four event triggers, pointing at Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp or Angi. A realtor cultivated through Pipelines calls for a wood-destroying-insect inspection ahead of a closing. The referral board shows four inspections pending, two termite proposals out and six recurring signups from last month’s seasonal SMS campaign. Nothing here required a spreadsheet, a second phone line, or a separate photo-documentation app.
A detail worth knowing before you build routes around inventory: in QuoteIQ, materials stock deducts when the invoice is paid — a deposit does not count as paid, and deduction does not happen when a job is marked done. If you take 50 percent up front on termite work, the product does not leave the ledger until the balance clears, unless you use the deduct option on that screen. Build your reorder points with that timing in mind and your truck counts will stay honest.
A growing pest control company quickly splits into two kinds of work: route technicians who need speed and consistency across fifteen stops a day, and a specialist who handles termite inspections, barrier treatments, baiting installs, wildlife trapping and exclusion at a few high-value jobs a day. Keeping those separate is the single biggest efficiency lever in the business, and it only works if scheduling, permissions and reporting can tell them apart.
EmployeeHub on the Elite plan carries the employee database with hourly rate and availability, GPS location tracking that shows a live team map while technicians are clocked in and stops at clock-out, Time Tracker Pro for GPS clock in and out with break durations and full edit history, and team communication for one-on-one and group chats with job assignment. Roles and permissions were overhauled in August 2026 with clearer gates and calendar permissions separated out, so an office manager can build estimates and manage the route without seeing per-route margin or changing service pricing.
Two limits worth planning around: QuoteIQ does not calculate overtime automatically, and it has no native payroll — hours export to whatever payroll system you already run. Data export is available on every plan. Crew creation, crew scheduling and the Sales Team Tracker with per-rep commission percentages sit on the Max plan rather than Elite, which matters once you are dispatching two-person teams instead of solo technicians.
Commercial food-service and healthcare accounts will ask for a service history and product records at audit time. Between inspection forms, 4K photo documentation and contract attachments holding your safety data sheets, the customer record becomes the audit file. That aligns with the employer duty under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard to keep a safety data sheet accessible for every hazardous chemical in the workplace — including the ones riding in the truck.
Route revenue is the floor of a pest control company, not the ceiling. The operations that scale past a single truck almost always build the same three additional channels — specialty upsells into the existing book, commercial contracts, and real estate transaction work. Each one is a pipeline problem before it is a sales problem, which is why Pipelines matters more here than any other feature.
Every general pest customer is already a termite, rodent, mosquito and wildlife prospect. The relationship exists, the trust exists, and a technician is standing on the property four to twelve times a year. Package Estimates let you present the upgrade during a normal service visit rather than as a separate sales call. Model it on a 300-account book: a 25 percent attach rate on termite monitoring at $350 a year is 75 agreements worth $26,250; a 15 percent attach on seasonal mosquito service at $1,225 is 45 customers worth $55,125; a 10 percent attach on wildlife exclusion at an $1,800 average project is 30 jobs worth $54,000. That is $135,375 of annual revenue from customers you already own, at acquisition cost of zero. Adjust the attach rates to your own history — the structure holds even if the percentages do not.
The operational requirement is that the upsell has to be quotable on the spot. That means a price book with your specialty services already loaded, AI Estimator to draft line-item pricing from property photos, and e-signature approval so the customer can accept from her phone before the technician drives away. Use the pest control cost calculator to pressure-test the specialty pricing before it goes into the price book.
Restaurants, hotels, food processing plants, office parks, apartment complexes and healthcare facilities buy ongoing programs with documentation requirements and guaranteed response times. The revenue is bigger and it compounds: a property management company with 20 units at $300 a month is $72,000 a year, and a five-location restaurant group at $485 a month per site is $29,100. Two relationships of that size put a six-figure recurring base under the business. Standard Estimates with scope templates per property type make bidding fast, inspection forms and 4K documentation satisfy audit requirements, and invoice subscriptions bill each location on its own cycle. The CDC’s integrated pest management framework — identification, threshold levels, and two or more control measures — is the language most commercial specifications are written in, so structuring your inspection forms around it makes bids easier to win.
Wood-destroying-insect inspections attached to home sales are a lead engine disguised as a low-margin service. Model one realtor referring three inspections a month: 36 inspections a year at a $175 average is $6,300 of inspection revenue. If 30 percent turn up active infestation, that is roughly 11 treatment jobs at a $3,200 average, or $34,560. If half of those buyers then start a Premium bi-monthly plan at $195 per service, that is about 5 new recurring accounts worth roughly $6,300 a year in ongoing revenue. One relationship, about $47,000 of first-year value, and it renews. Pipelines tracks it with stages for inspection requested, inspection complete, proposal sent, treatment approved and recurring service signed, with weighted forecasting so you can see what the channel is actually worth before it closes.
Rodent exclusion sells itself when the homeowner understands the mechanism. The CDC’s guidance on sealing up entry points and controlling wild rodent infestations is a free, authoritative explanation of exactly the work you are quoting. Attach it to the estimate as context, document the gaps with QuoteIQ Cam, and price the exclusion as a package alongside the monitoring plan rather than as a one-off repair.
Rather than repeat feature claims about other vendors that go stale within a quarter, the table below states only what QuoteIQ includes and where each capability starts. If you are comparing platforms, check the current plan pages of Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan directly — pricing and packaging on all three change frequently, and a side-by-side written months ago is not evidence. QuoteIQ maintains its own comparison hub if you want the head-to-head breakdowns.
| Capability a pest control company needs | QuoteIQ feature | Starts on |
|---|---|---|
| Good / Better / Best service plan estimating | Options Estimates | Essentials |
| Bundled annual protection packages | Package Estimates | Essentials |
| Customer signs on their phone | E-Signatures | Essentials |

One capability deliberately absent from that table: QuoteIQ does not ship a separate dispatching product. Person-to-job assignment is handled inside scheduling on Pro, and crew-level assignment arrives on Max. If a competitor comparison tells you otherwise, it is describing marketing copy rather than the shipped app.
Pest control has a demand curve that most trades would envy and most owners underestimate. Ant, wasp, mosquito and general insect pressure climbs through spring and peaks in summer; rodent work moves the other direction as temperatures drop and mice go looking for shelter; termite swarms concentrate into a few weeks that generate a disproportionate share of the year’s high-ticket contracts. The businesses that stay profitable through that cycle do two things: they convert one-off summer calls into year-round plans, and they use the winter floor for the work that pays later.
Converting seasonal callers is a follow-up problem, and follow-up is where most route businesses leak. Email and text automations on Pro and above run event-triggered, multi-step sequences with personalization tags — estimate created, estimate scheduled, estimate declined, invoice paid — and send timing can run from immediate to as far out as 24 months. That means the homeowner who called about wasps in July gets a properly timed offer in March rather than never. The automation engine can be built by describing the sequence in plain language, and Mike Vidan’s pre-built follow-up sequence, running from a first estimate through eleven months of touches, imports in one click.
The winter floor is when you build capacity rather than chase it. Rebuild your price book, run mass SMS and email campaigns to segmented tag lists ahead of the spring rush, clean up your customer database, and audit last year’s margin by route in business analytics. One setup detail on campaigns: contractors connect their own gateways — Twilio for SMS with A2P 10DLC registration, SendGrid for email with a verified sender — so carrier fees are yours and the blast volume is not metered by QuoteIQ. Plan that before you commit to a March campaign.
Route density is the other seasonal lever. Route Density shows where your existing work clusters geographically, which tells you where the next customer is worth more than a customer twenty minutes away. Route Optimization then sequences the day inside that zone. Density answers where to sell; optimization answers what order to drive. Running seasonal expansion into a zone you already own beats scattering new accounts across the metro, because the second stop on a dense street carries almost none of the drive cost that the first one did.
The autumn rodent push is the highest-margin selling window most pest control companies have, because exclusion work is priced per entry point and the evidence sells itself. Document gaps and gnaw marks with QuoteIQ Cam, quote sealing work as a package attached to a monitoring plan rather than as a repair invoice, and use the CDC’s sealing guidance as the third-party explanation of why the work matters. Bill the plan through Invoice Subscriptions so the account survives past the first cold snap.
Importing customers without their service frequency. A clean contact list is not a route. The value in your old system is the schedule — who is quarterly, who is bi-monthly, which accounts are on a monthly commercial program, and when each was last serviced. AI Smart Import maps CSV columns automatically from any prior CRM, but you have to bring the frequency and last-service columns with you or you will spend a season rebuilding the calendar by hand. Export everything from the old system before you cancel it; QuoteIQ’s own data export is available on every plan, so you are never locked in either.
Testing on the wrong plan. A trial on Essentials will not show you inventory, routing or job costing, and a pest control company that evaluates on the cheapest tier concludes the platform lacks features it simply gated. The trial grants full access to the features of the plan you choose, so choose the plan you would actually buy. If chemical tracking and route sequencing are the reason you are shopping, run the trial on Elite.
Leaving the price book generic. The speed advantage of any CRM comes from having your own services, materials and tier structure pre-loaded so an estimate is three taps rather than fifteen minutes of typing. Load your standard line items, your tiered plans, your specialty packages and your materials with unit costs. Materials link to inventory products so pricing stays current, and AI Estimator can draft line-item pricing from property photos once the book has structure to work from.
Skipping the permissions setup. Route technicians should not see margin, and office staff should not be able to change plan pricing. Roles and permissions were rebuilt in August 2026 with clearer gates and calendar permissions separated out; permission-restricted users see shortcut cards instead of the full dashboard. Setting this correctly on day one avoids the awkward conversation later, and it is a prerequisite for giving customers a Client Portal login without exposing anything internal.
Two more worth naming quickly, both about expectations rather than setup: QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online only, so a desktop bookkeeping file needs to move to the online product first; and hours export for payroll rather than running natively, with no automatic overtime calculation. Neither is a dealbreaker for a route business, but both are cheaper to plan for than to discover in the first billing cycle. If you want the migration handled for you, Done-For-You setup at $299.99 or $999.99 covers contact import, price book build and a one-on-one onboarding session.
Five plans, flat monthly pricing, no extra per-seat charge inside a plan’s user count. Annual billing gives two months free. Every plan includes all four estimate types, scheduling, invoicing, customer payments, e-signatures, the customer database and the AI toolset with a monthly allocation of IQ Credits. See the full pricing page for the current published detail on each tier.
Which tier fits depends less on revenue than on what breaks first. A solo operator running a few dozen recurring accounts is fine on Essentials until he wants satellite measurement and photo documentation, at which point Beginner is the step. The moment a second technician joins and you need to know whether the route makes money, Pro is the answer — Job Costing and ClientHub both live there, and so do automations and the Client Portal. Chemical inventory, route optimization and crew tracking are the three things that pull a pest control company to Elite, usually somewhere between the second and fourth truck.
IQ Credits are the in-app currency for AI features, included monthly on every plan at 500, 1,500, 3,000, 5,000 and 8,000 respectively and reset each billing cycle. There is no separate AI subscription. Credit-consuming actions include Virtual Call Team minutes at 125 credits per minute, ClientHub messaging at roughly 4 credits per SMS and 5 to 10 per MMS, AI AutoMeasure at 100 credits, property and parcel lookups at 50, proposal sends at 100 (free on trial, Elite and Max), and image generation per rendered image. Every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs and asks you to confirm, so there are no surprise draws. Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable once purchased or consumed — treat them as included capacity, not as money on account.
For a two-route pest control company the practical read is that call answering is the big consumer. If Virtual Call Team is handling meaningful after-hours volume, the Pro allocation of 3,000 credits covers roughly 24 minutes of AI calling before you factor in messaging and estimating actions, which is one of the quieter reasons route-heavy operations end up on Elite. Top-up packs are available if a seasonal spike outruns the allocation.
The AI Website Builder runs $34.99 per month and is included on Max. Done-For-You setup — contact import, price book build and a one-on-one onboarding session — comes in two tiers at $299.99 and $999.99 one time; for a pest control company migrating several hundred recurring accounts with service histories, that is usually money well spent. Additional businesses are a paid add-on, with four included on Max, which is how multi-brand operators run a pest company and a lawn or wildlife brand side by side. AI Smart Import handles the CSV migration itself with automatic column mapping from any prior CRM.
Customers pay invoices by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay online, with cash and check recorded manually in the app. Payments run through the QuoteIQ Payments Service — Whop-powered for new subscribers, Stripe-powered for legacy accounts established there. Payout and bank details are configured in Settings, recurring auto-pay is supported, and processing fees vary by method, configuration, risk profile, industry and volume, so ask for your own numbers rather than trusting a rate quoted in a blog post. Consumer financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay works on every plan and is independent of which processor your account runs on.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for pest control companies in 2026 because it covers the four things a route-based pest business actually runs on in one platform: tiered plan estimating, property measurement, product tracking and recurring billing. Options Estimates put Basic, Premium and Complete plans on one document, MapMeasure Pro measures foundation perimeter and yard area from satellite before the visit, Inventory Management tracks concentrate, granular bait and stations across trucks and warehouse, and Invoice Subscriptions bill quarterly and monthly plans automatically. Pricing starts at $29.99 per month and the platform is rated 4.7 stars across 4,103 reviews from more than 40,000 contractors. For the regulatory side of the trade — product labels, registration status and legal use — the EPA’s pesticide program remains the authority; the CRM’s job is the pricing, scheduling and documentation built around it. Start with the pest control software overview if you want the trade-specific configuration.
QuoteIQ runs five tiers: Essentials at $29.99 for 1 user, Beginner at $74.99 for 2 users, Pro at $149.99 for 4 users, Elite at $299 for 10 users and Max at $699 for unlimited users. Annual billing gives two months free, so Elite is $2,990 a year instead of $3,588. Most pest control companies with two or three technicians sit on Pro, because that is where job costing and ClientHub calling and texting unlock; operations needing chemical inventory, route optimization and GPS crew tracking move to Elite. Costs beyond the subscription are the AI Website Builder at $34.99 per month and optional Done-For-You setup at $299.99 or $999.99 one time. Compare that against your labor math: with BLS median pest control wages near $20.90 an hour, the Pro plan costs less per month than about seven and a half technician hours.
You build the ladder once in your price book and present it on a single estimate. A common structure is a Basic quarterly exterior plan, a Premium bi-monthly plan adding interior work, and a Complete monthly plan covering the whole property including attic, crawl space, rodent monitoring and seasonal mosquito service. Options Estimates show all three tiers side by side with photos, terms and deposits, and the customer picks a level rather than deciding yes or no. On illustrative pricing of $135 per quarter, $195 bi-monthly and $315 per month, the annual value gap between Basic and Complete is $3,240 per customer — which is why the presentation format matters more than the discount. Package Estimates handle the bundled annual version, accepted estimates convert straight into a recurring subscription invoice, and e-signatures close it on the customer’s phone. Sanity-check your own numbers against the home service business calculators before committing a price book. Product selection at each tier should follow label directions, which the EPA registered product search makes easy to verify.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro, included from the Beginner plan upward, measures inside estimate creation from satellite imagery: foundation perimeter in linear feet for barrier treatment, total yard square footage for granular application, driveways and hardscape, and freehand drawing tools for irregular lots. Measurements save to the customer profile and export into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as proof of scope. The August 2026 release added a historical imagery timeline so you can scroll back through several years of aerial photos of the same property, and roof pitch is calculated and saved. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access sit on the same tier for ground-level context. The practical benefit is a technician who arrives with scope, product quantity and price already calculated instead of walking the lot with a wheel — and a consistent quote no matter which estimator prepares it. Pair it with job costing so measured scope feeds measured margin. Structure the inspection itself around the CDC’s integrated pest management model.
Yes, on the Elite plan and above. Inventory Management runs five modules: Products with SKU, category, unit, cost, reorder point and In Stock / Low / Out indicators; Locations for warehouse, truck and job site; Suppliers; Orders moving Draft to Confirmed to Received, where receiving auto-creates receipt transactions; and Transactions logging every movement as receipt, returned, issued, damaged, loss or adjustment. Materials on estimates and invoices link to products so pricing stays current, and inventory analytics cover value, usage and category views. One timing rule matters operationally: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, and a deposit does not count as paid — deduction does not fire when a job is marked done. Build your reorder points around that. Pair inventory with expense tracking for non-stock costs and job costing for the margin picture, and keep safety data sheets on the customer record with contract attachments to satisfy the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
Job Costing on the Pro plan and above gives every job a Report tab running Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, with a profit-margin bar. Labor pulls automatically from clocked hours through Time Tracker Pro at each employee’s hourly rate, and expenses linked to the job flow in from expense tracking. A worked example: $10.10 of product and equipment wear, 35 minutes of technician time at roughly $20.90 an hour per BLS occupational data, and $6.50 of drive time and fuel gives about $28.79 of cost per stop. Against a $135 quarterly visit that is roughly 79 percent gross margin; against a lower-priced stop with the same product load, the margin collapses fast — which is the entire argument for measuring rather than assuming. Roll the results up in business analytics to see margin by route, service tier and technician, then use route density to plan denser days.
Yes, and it is the core use case. Scheduling is included on every plan with drag-and-drop day, week, month and employee-timeline views, color-coded status, multi-day jobs rendered as continuous events, the ability to move a single occurrence of a recurring series without touching the rest, Schedule Later for undated work, and a GEO-Schedule map view showing jobs geographically. Automated appointment reminders go out by SMS and email, and completed jobs can be mass-invoiced from the calendar. Billing runs through Invoice Subscriptions with full discount, tax, fee and deposit math, plus payment reminders on your own timing. Once you reach several hundred stops a month, route optimization on Elite sequences the day for minimum drive time — QuoteIQ measures a 15 to 30 percent reduction — while route density shows where work clusters so you can sell into the right zones. Customers can self-book real availability through InstaSchedule. Frequency decisions themselves should follow CDC guidance on infestation control and label requirements.
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose. There is one trial per person, per business and per payment method, and a credit or debit card is required to start. The trial auto-converts to paid at the selected plan’s rate at expiry unless you cancel first, and you can cancel at any point during the trial. If you pick the wrong tier, upgrading mid-cycle charges the prorated difference, credits jump immediately and annual rates adjust proportionally. For a pest control company the sensible test is to load twenty real accounts, build one tiered Options Estimate, measure a property with MapMeasure Pro, run a stop through QuoteIQ Cam and bill one recurring plan through Invoice Subscriptions before the fourteen days are out. Migration from a prior CRM runs through AI Smart Import. Keep your EPA product registration records to hand so the price book you build during the trial is the one you keep.
Tiered plans beat single prices. Options Estimates put Basic, Premium and Complete on one document so the customer selects a level. On illustrative pricing the annual gap between the bottom and top tier is $3,240 per household.
Measure before you drive. MapMeasure Pro from the Beginner plan gives perimeter linear footage and yard area from satellite, with historical imagery added in August 2026, so scope and price are ready before the consultation.
Per-stop margin is the real KPI. Job Costing on Pro subtracts clocked labor and linked expenses from the price on every job, turning a route that “feels busy” into a number you can price and sequence against.
Inventory timing is deduct-on-paid. Inventory Management on Elite moves stock when the invoice is paid, not when the job is completed, and a deposit does not count as paid — set reorder points accordingly.
Recurring billing has to be automatic. Invoice Subscriptions handle quarterly and monthly plans with full tax, fee and deposit math, and consumer financing covers larger termite and exclusion jobs on every plan.
Upsells live in the pipeline. Pipelines & Deals on Elite runs residential, commercial, termite and realtor referral boards separately with weighted forecasting; Elite allows five boards, Max is unlimited.
After-hours calls convert. Virtual Call Team answers, qualifies, records and transcribes around the clock and runs outbound campaigns, metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute; self-booking is handled by InstaSchedule.
Documentation is compliance. QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms and contract attachments turn the customer record into the audit file your commercial accounts and safety program both need.
A short walkthrough of how contractors build estimates, schedule work and get paid inside QuoteIQ — the same workflow a pest control company runs on every route day.
Watch Video →Pick the tier by the feature that breaks first, not by headcount. Route businesses that need margin visibility start on Pro; anyone needing chemical inventory and route optimization starts on Elite. The trial gives full access to the features of the plan you choose, so testing on the wrong tier tells you nothing useful.
Bring accounts across with AI Smart Import, which maps CSV columns automatically from any prior CRM, or import from phone contacts. Then load your service tiers, specialty work and materials into the price book so Options and Package Estimates can be built in seconds. Done-For-You setup covers this if you would rather hand it off.
Recreate quarterly, bi-monthly and monthly frequencies in scheduling, assign technicians and territories, then convert accepted plans into Invoice Subscriptions so billing runs itself. Switch on automated appointment reminders and, on Pro and above, the on-the-way texts and automation sequences.
Train technicians on QuoteIQ Cam before and after photos and inspection forms, estimators on MapMeasure Pro, and yourself on the Job Costing report tab. Two weeks of clean data in analytics will tell you which routes and tiers deserve more trucks.
