Jobber Plus Teams costs $529/mo before you add GPS tracking, photo documentation, or a pipeline CRM — and it still cannot track HVAC parts inventory or measure a rooftop from satellite. QuoteIQ Elite delivers everything for $249.99/mo. One login. No add-on traps.
Jobber works when you are one tech handling a handful of service calls a day. Then you hire a second installer. Then a third. Suddenly you need to track refrigerant inventory across two trucks, dispatch emergency calls to whichever tech is closest, measure rooftop condensing unit pads before quoting a changeout, and pull real-time job cost reports so you know which installations actually made money. Jobber does not do any of that natively.
The fix most HVAC contractors try first is stacking integrations — FleetSharp for GPS, CompanyCam for photos, a separate pipeline CRM — until the monthly stack costs more than the CRM itself. QuoteIQ was built to eliminate that entire stack. QuoteIQ for HVAC companies includes satellite measurement, live GPS tracking, HVAC parts inventory, AI-powered call handling, and a visual pipeline CRM — all in one platform with one monthly price.
This comparison breaks down the real monthly cost of running an HVAC operation on Jobber Plus Teams versus QuoteIQ Elite. Every price verified March 2026. No annual rates. No promos. Just what you would actually pay if you signed up today for furnace installations, AC changeouts, duct cleaning, maintenance agreements, and emergency service calls.
Jobber Plus Teams is $529/mo. But to match what QuoteIQ Elite includes natively for an HVAC operation, you need to add GPS tracking, photo documentation, pipeline management, and more. Here is the real math.
+ FleetSharp hardware purchase not included
Features Jobber cannot add at any price: Inventory Management (no parts tracking for refrigerant, filters, or capacitors), Route Density Zones (no geographic job clustering), AI Autopilot (no natural language CRM control), InstaSchedule (no 24/7 customer self-scheduling against a live calendar), Dedicated Business Phone (no native in-app calling), and Before/After AI Photo Generator. Even after spending $793+/month, these HVAC-critical features remain unavailable on Jobber.
Matching QuoteIQ Elite’s features on Jobber requires Plus Teams ($529/mo) plus $264+/month in add-ons and integrations totaling $793+/month — and you still cannot track HVAC parts inventory, measure rooftops by satellite, or offer 24/7 customer self-scheduling. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/month. Everything included. One login. That’s a savings of $543+/month — $6,516+/year.
Every feature that matters to an HVAC company running installs, service calls, and maintenance agreements. Jobber integration costs shown alongside plan costs. All prices are standard monthly billing — never annual, never promo.

QuoteIQ Elite wins on seven features Jobber doesn’t offer at any price: Inventory Management, MapMeasure Pro, Route Density Zones, AI Autopilot, InstaSchedule, Dedicated Business Phone, and Before/After AI. The two features Jobber can add via add-ons — Pipeline ($49/mo) and GPS ($116+/mo) — cost $165+/mo more on top of Plus Teams. Jobber holds genuine advantages on Xero integration and Wisetack consumer financing.
Being transparent: here are the genuine advantages of choosing Jobber over QuoteIQ for an HVAC business. Three points. All real.
Xero accounting integration. If your HVAC company uses Xero instead of QuickBooks, Jobber has a direct advantage. QuoteIQ currently integrates with QuickBooks Online only. For Xero-dependent operations, this is a genuine product gap in QuoteIQ.
Wisetack consumer financing for high-ticket HVAC installs. Jobber integrates with Wisetack, allowing homeowners to finance furnace replacements, AC changeouts, and other high-ticket HVAC work. QuoteIQ has no consumer financing equivalent. For HVAC companies selling $8,000–$15,000+ system replacements, this financing option can meaningfully increase close rates.
Larger app marketplace and established community. Founded in 2011 with 200,000+ users and $191M+ in funding, Jobber has a bigger integration marketplace, more YouTube tutorials, and more contractor Facebook groups than QuoteIQ. That community size reflects market history and marketing spend — not product capability — but it means more third-party resources are available.

A full walkthrough of the platform built for home service contractors — by contractors who ran businesses like yours.
Most HVAC contractors complete the switch in an afternoon. Here’s the process from account creation to first estimate sent.
Go to admin-quoteiq.web.app/register and pick the plan that fits your crew size. All plans include 14 days of full access to every feature on that tier.
In Jobber, go to Settings and export your customer list as a CSV. Takes about two minutes. You only need names, addresses, phones, and emails.
Upload your CSV to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI reads your column headers and maps every customer field automatically — no manual matching. Done in seconds. A $299 Done-For-You migration is also available.
Add furnace installations, AC changeouts, duct cleaning, coil replacements, refrigerant recharges, maintenance agreements, and emergency service calls — with your flat rates or per-unit pricing. The price book feeds directly into MapMeasure Pro estimates.
Open MapMeasure Pro, enter any property address, measure the roof area for a condensing unit pad or RTU replacement, and QuoteIQ builds the estimate from your price book automatically. Most operators complete their first remote estimate in under 3 minutes.
Verified reviews from Trustpilot, Capterra, and Software Advice — about the limitations that push HVAC contractors to look for alternatives.
“Extremely minimal features, especially for the price. Usually have to integrate 3rd party softwares that have their own subscription to do this effectively.”
Sascha Hinz · HVAC Business · Verified Trustpilot Review Pain point: Integration costs“I’m frustrated that Jobber allows double booking without alerting me, and that there’s no simple way to mark individual blackout dates or times for my workers.”
Verified User · Software Advice Review Pain point: Scheduling gaps“Over 60% of my estimates aren’t even viewed by clients. The emails are sent from a generic Jobber domain, which most clients ignore.”
Verified Trustpilot Reviewer · December 2025 Pain point: Estimate deliverability4.7 stars · 4,100+ verified reviews across App Store and Google Play.
“This app has made my business so much more enjoyable not having to go to 8 different places to deal with one customer, I am able to go to one app for it all!!!”
Jake kunk · App Store · Verified Review“From quoting to scheduling to measuring—every tool my service business needs.”
Echevarria Roney · App Store · Verified Review“This app has changed my business, not only because it’s effective but also because it’s so easy to use.”
OrlandoAlmeida · App Store · Verified ReviewMike Vidan II built QuoteIQ after running his own home service operation in Savannah, Georgia. He experienced firsthand the add-on fatigue and integration stacking that HVAC contractors deal with on platforms like Jobber — paying for a CRM, then paying again for GPS, again for photos, again for pipeline management. QuoteIQ was designed to eliminate every one of those separate bills.
Justin Rogers is a serial entrepreneur and creator of Forever Self Employed, a YouTube channel helping people start and grow service businesses. Justin’s content reaches thousands of contractors monthly, and his operational insights shape every feature decision in QuoteIQ — from inventory tracking to AI-powered call handling for emergency HVAC dispatching.
You sell high-ticket HVAC installs and consumer financing is critical to your close rate. Jobber integrates with Wisetack, allowing homeowners to finance $8,000–$15,000+ furnace replacements and AC changeouts. QuoteIQ has no consumer financing equivalent. If you routinely close $10K+ equipment replacements and customer financing directly impacts your conversion numbers, this is a real product advantage for Jobber.
Your accountant uses Xero and will not switch to QuickBooks Online. Jobber integrates with both QuickBooks Online and Xero. QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. If Xero accounting integration is a hard requirement for your HVAC business, Jobber has a genuine advantage on that specific point.
Their community is large because they were first — not because HVAC contractors are thriving. 200,000+ users accumulated over 14 years means more tutorials, more forum threads, and a bigger knowledge base. That community size reflects market history and $191M+ in venture funding. It does not reflect what the platform delivers for an HVAC company running in 2026.
The honest bottom line: If your HVAC business depends on Wisetack consumer financing or Xero accounting, those are genuine reasons to stay on Jobber. For every other HVAC company evaluating on features and total monthly cost — there is no tier of Jobber that delivers what QuoteIQ Elite delivers for less money. The community size is a marketing win for them. Not a product win.
For most HVAC operations, yes. QuoteIQ has seven capabilities Jobber does not offer at any price: HVAC parts inventory management, satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro), route density zones, AI natural language CRM control (AI Autopilot), customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), dedicated business phone (ClientHub), and before/after AI photo generation. Jobber holds genuine advantages on Xero integration and Wisetack consumer financing for high-ticket installs. QuoteIQ Elite includes all seven missing features for $249.99/month versus Jobber Plus Teams at $529/month before add-ons.
Jobber’s standard monthly prices for teams are $169/mo (Connect, 5 users), $349/mo (Grow, 10 users), and $529/mo (Plus, 15 users). For an HVAC operation matching QuoteIQ Elite’s features, the cost stacks up: Plus Teams base ($529/mo), Pipeline add-on ($49/mo), FleetSharp GPS for 4 vans ($116/mo), and CompanyCam photo documentation ($99/mo). True monthly total: $793+/month — and you still cannot track HVAC parts inventory, measure rooftops by satellite, or offer 24/7 self-scheduling. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/mo all-in.
No. Jobber has no inventory management at any price or via any integration. HVAC contractors cannot track refrigerant levels, filter stock, capacitor inventory, or parts across multiple service vans. QuoteIQ Elite includes a 5-module inventory system (products, locations, suppliers, orders, transactions) that tracks everything from R-410A refrigerant to replacement blower motors across trucks and your warehouse.
Not natively. Jobber requires FleetSharp, a third-party integration costing $29+/vehicle/month plus a hardware device purchase. A 4-van HVAC operation pays $116+/month just for GPS. QuoteIQ Elite includes real-time live GPS tracking for your entire crew via their smartphones — no per-vehicle fees, no hardware purchase, no separate subscription.
Jobber offers a Pipeline add-on for $49/month on top of your base plan. It provides basic lead tracking. QuoteIQ Elite includes Pipelines and Deals natively — a visual Kanban-style pipeline with probability-weighted revenue forecasting, deal stage tracking, and sales team performance analytics. No add-on fee, no separate subscription.
Jobber’s AI Receptionist (included on Plus, $99/mo add-on on Grow) answers inbound calls 24/7 and can capture job details. However, it handles inbound calls only — no outbound AI calling or automated follow-up campaigns. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team handles both inbound and outbound AI calling on every plan starting at $29.99/mo. For HVAC companies running emergency dispatch, the outbound capability means proactive follow-ups, recall campaigns, and maintenance agreement reminders.
Yes. Jobber integrates with both QuickBooks Online and Xero, available on Connect and above ($99+/mo). QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on Pro and above ($149.99/mo). If your HVAC company uses QuickBooks Online, both platforms sync. If you use Xero, Jobber has a genuine advantage — QuoteIQ does not currently support Xero.
Yes. Jobber integrates with Wisetack consumer financing on Grow plans and above ($199+/mo). This lets homeowners finance furnace replacements, AC changeouts, and other high-ticket HVAC work. QuoteIQ does not currently offer a consumer financing integration. For HVAC companies selling $8,000–$15,000+ system replacements, this is a genuine Jobber advantage.
Seven capabilities: (1) Inventory Management — 5-module parts tracking system; (2) MapMeasure Pro — satellite rooftop and building measurement; (3) Route Density Zones — geographic job clustering; (4) AI Autopilot — natural language control of the entire CRM with 35 tools; (5) InstaSchedule — true 24/7 customer self-booking; (6) Dedicated Business Phone (ClientHub) — in-app calling and texting; (7) Before/After AI Photo Generator. These are not available in Jobber’s marketplace or on any Jobber plan.
Export your customer list as a CSV from Jobber’s Settings page, then upload it to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI reads your column headers and maps name, address, phone, and email fields automatically — no manual matching required. Most imports complete in under a minute. A Done-For-You migration service is also available for $299.
Yes. QuoteIQ supports recurring billing, automated appointment reminders, and scheduled maintenance workflows. You can set up seasonal tune-up agreements, quarterly filter changes, and annual inspections that automatically generate invoices and reminders. Combined with InstaSchedule, your maintenance customers can rebook themselves for their next visit without calling your office.
Two genuine scenarios: (1) If your HVAC company relies heavily on Wisetack consumer financing to close high-ticket equipment replacements, QuoteIQ has no equivalent. (2) If your accountant uses Xero and won’t switch to QuickBooks Online, Jobber supports both while QuoteIQ is QuickBooks Online only. For every other feature comparison — cost, GPS, inventory, AI tools, self-quoting, self-scheduling, pipeline CRM — QuoteIQ Elite outperforms Jobber Plus Teams at a lower monthly price.
HVAC parts inventory, satellite measurement, live GPS tracking, dedicated business phone, AI tools, customer self-scheduling, automatic review requests — all in one platform, starting at $29.99/month.
