Hearth helps your customers pay for the job. QuoteIQ helps you win, run, and complete the job. Hearth has zero field operations, zero property tools, zero AI (unless you pay extra), and zero customer communication — 30 features it simply does not offer. The largest gap of any competitor we’ve analyzed.
Hearth (by Shogun Enterprises Inc.) is primarily a customer financing marketplace that lets contractors offer homeowner loans from $1,000 to $250,000 with no dealer fees. The quoting, invoicing, payments, and scheduling features are secondary — built around the financing engine. Hearth requires annual-only contracts with a $99 setup fee, offers no free trial, and has faced significant customer support complaints in 2025. QuoteIQ is an all-in-one field service management CRM built specifically for home service contractors — month-to-month billing, 14-day free trial, and 30 features Hearth does not offer at any price. That’s the largest feature gap of any competitor we’ve analyzed.
Hearth requires annual contracts only — no monthly billing option. All plans include a $99 one-time setup fee. QuoteIQ is month-to-month, cancel anytime.
