FieldPulse doesn’t publish pricing — and charges separately for GPS fleet tracking ($30/vehicle/mo), VoIP phone, AI dispatching, and pricebook access. A 4-truck electrical operation can easily hit $420–$520+/month before add-ons. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99. Everything included.
FieldPulse is well-regarded for custom workflows and strong customer support. For basic scheduling and dispatching it handles the day-to-day well. The problem starts when an electrical contracting business tries to scale beyond that baseline — tracking service vans across panel upgrade jobs, whole-house rewires, commercial tenant improvements, and emergency calls; giving customers an easy way to self-book; collecting reviews automatically after every completed job; measuring properties remotely for estimates.
Every one of those capabilities either doesn’t exist on FieldPulse or costs extra. GPS fleet tracking is an Azuga add-on at $30 per vehicle per month. The VoIP phone system (Engage) is a separate add-on with custom pricing. Operator AI for after-hours dispatching is another line item. The pricebook is an add-on. Dynamic proposals are an add-on. A 4-truck electrical shop on the Professional tier can easily spend $420–$520+ per month — and still lack satellite measurement, automated review collection, customer self-quoting, and AI-powered estimating. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, electricians represent one of the fastest-growing trades in the country — which means the software running your business needs to scale as fast as your crew does.
This guide doesn’t argue FieldPulse is bad. It shows what a real electrical contracting operation actually pays when those capabilities are stacked — and what QuoteIQ Elite includes for less money on a single plan, with no hidden pricing.
FieldPulse doesn’t publish pricing publicly. Based on contractor-reported data across Capterra, G2, and industry forums, here’s what a growing electrical business typically pays — verified as of April 2026. All FieldPulse pricing shown is estimated from third-party sources and requires periodic re-verification.
Before VoIP, AI, and pricebook add-on fees
Features FieldPulse cannot match at any price: Satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro), Route Density Zones, AI natural language CRM control (AI Autopilot — 35 tools), customer self-quoting (InstaQuote), customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), AI photo-based estimating, Before/After AI image generation, AI Smart Import (automatic CSV field mapping), and automated review collection (Review Multiplier).
FieldPulse Enterprise with GPS tracking for 4 trucks costs an estimated $420–$520+/month — and that’s before adding VoIP phone, AI dispatching, and pricebook fees. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/month with every feature built in. No per-vehicle charges. No add-on fees. No sales call to find out your price.
Side-by-side comparison for panel upgrades, whole-house rewires, commercial tenant improvements, service calls, and emergency work. Members of the National Electrical Contractors Association expect their software to keep pace with the demands of a growing operation.

Honest comparison means acknowledging where a competitor genuinely delivers. FieldPulse has real strengths that matter for certain electrical operations.
Customer support (rated ~9.6/10). FieldPulse is consistently praised for fast, knowledgeable human support. Contractors report getting real help quickly — not chatbot runarounds. This is FieldPulse’s single biggest strength across every review platform.
Custom workflows and asset tracking. FieldPulse lets you build per-property equipment histories and custom job workflows. For commercial electrical shops managing recurring maintenance on specific building systems, this per-asset tracking is genuinely useful.
Consumer financing (FieldPulse Financing). FieldPulse offers built-in consumer financing so homeowners can finance large panel upgrades or rewiring projects. QuoteIQ does not currently offer consumer financing.
Multi-day project management. FieldPulse handles multi-day commercial projects with better granularity than most field service tools in this price range. For shops running week-long tenant improvement jobs, this matters.

Real feedback from FieldPulse users on independent review platforms. These are the pain points driving contractors to evaluate other options.
“They lock you into the basic plan and then nickel-and-dime you for functionality that should be standard. Unless you pay for Engage, you can’t even see customer replies to texts sent through FieldPulse.”
— Verified User · Capterra · 2025 Add-on cost creep“Estimates showed one number on the edit screen, a different number on the client-facing estimate, and a third number on the PDF. That kind of inconsistency destroys trust with customers.”
— Verified User · Capterra · 2025 Estimate accuracy issues“The Operator AI has proven less accurate than advertised. The Engage tool feels unstable and limited. The inability to forward calls to multiple people is a major bottleneck for our workflow.”
— Stanley K. · Construction · Capterra · 2026 AI and VoIP reliability“The estimate maker looks so professional even my customer was impressed and the fact i can send photos with that estimate is a plus for me.”
— United Wash · App Store · Verified Review“The best part is, the team at QuoteIQ is super responsive and willing to support your needs.”
— TotalClean · App Store · Verified Review“It has all the tools needed to streamline operations and grow your business.”
— Schwartz Marlow · App Store · Verified ReviewMike Vidan built QuoteIQ from the frustrations of running his own service business. He understood that electrical contractors need software that tracks job profitability on panel upgrades and rewires in real time — not a pricebook add-on that costs extra. That experience is why QuoteIQ includes job costing, inventory management, and AI-powered estimating on every plan without add-on fees.
Justin Rogers is a serial entrepreneur and creator of Forever Self Employed, a YouTube channel helping contractors start and grow service businesses. Justin’s focus on transparent pricing and no-contract flexibility is why QuoteIQ publishes every plan price on its website — the opposite of FieldPulse’s sales-call-required model. Professional organizations like SCORE recommend that small businesses evaluate software costs before committing — transparent pricing makes that possible.
You need consumer financing for large residential jobs. FieldPulse Financing lets homeowners finance panel upgrades and whole-house rewires at the point of sale. QuoteIQ does not currently offer built-in consumer financing. If you close most of your high-ticket residential work through financing, FieldPulse’s native integration is a genuine advantage.
You rely on per-property asset and equipment tracking. FieldPulse’s asset management lets you tie equipment histories to specific customer properties. For commercial electrical shops managing recurring maintenance on building electrical systems across dozens of locations, this granular per-asset tracking is genuinely useful and not something QuoteIQ replicates at the same depth.
The bottom line: Consumer financing and per-property asset tracking are FieldPulse’s two genuine product advantages. If neither is critical to your operation, QuoteIQ Elite delivers more features at a lower price with fully transparent pricing.
FieldPulse does not publish pricing on their website. Based on contractor-reported data across Capterra, G2, and industry forums as of April 2026, the Essentials tier starts around $89/month with additional technicians at approximately $30/user/month. The Professional and Enterprise tiers require a custom quote from their sales team. A 5-person team with GPS tracking can easily exceed $400/month before VoIP and AI add-ons. QuoteIQ publishes every plan price at myquoteiq.com/pricing — no sales call required.
No. GPS fleet tracking is a separate add-on through Azuga at approximately $30 per vehicle per month, plus hardware costs. For a 4-truck electrical operation, that adds $120/month to your base subscription. QuoteIQ Elite includes real-time GPS tracking for your entire crew with no per-vehicle fee and no hardware required.
No. FieldPulse has no satellite measurement capability — native or via integration — at any price. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro lets electricians measure roof planes for solar installations, building footprints for commercial bids, and property dimensions from satellite imagery without visiting the site. Available on Beginner plans and above.
FieldPulse does not publicly disclose Engage VoIP pricing. It is a separate add-on requiring a conversation with their sales team. Reviews indicate the tool has limitations including the inability to forward calls to multiple people. QuoteIQ’s ClientHub includes a dedicated business phone number with calling, texting, and CRM integration on Pro plans and above — no add-on fee.
No. FieldPulse offers a booking portal with Smart Dispatch, but it does not let customers build their own quotes by selecting services and receiving instant pricing. QuoteIQ’s InstaQuote lets homeowners request panel upgrade or rewiring quotes 24/7 on your website without calling. Available on Elite and above.
Nine capabilities: MapMeasure Pro (satellite measurement), Route Density Zones (geographic job clustering), AI Autopilot (35 natural-language CRM tools), InstaQuote (customer self-quoting), InstaSchedule (24/7 customer self-booking), AI Estimator (photo-based estimate generation), Before/After AI image generation, AI Smart Import (automatic CSV field mapping), and Review Multiplier (automated review collection). None of these exist on FieldPulse or in their marketplace.
Yes. QuoteIQ handles panel upgrades, whole-house rewires, EV charger installations, commercial tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, generator hookups, and emergency service calls. MapMeasure Pro measures building footprints and roof planes from satellite for solar and commercial bids. Job costing tracks profitability per job type so you know which services make money.
No. FieldPulse has no built-in mechanism to automatically request reviews after completed jobs. QuoteIQ’s Review Multiplier auto-triggers review requests the moment an invoice is paid, routing satisfied customers directly to Google, Facebook, or Yelp. Available on Beginner plans and above.
Export your data as CSV from FieldPulse, upload to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI maps all fields automatically — customer names, addresses, phone numbers, job types, equipment records. Most imports complete in under a minute. A $299 Done-For-You migration is also available.
No. QuickBooks Online sync is only available on the Professional plan and higher. If your bookkeeper needs QuickBooks integration and you’re on FieldPulse Essentials, you must upgrade to Professional and get a custom quote. QuoteIQ includes QuickBooks integration on Pro plans and above at $149.99/month.
FieldPulse has an Operator AI add-on for after-hours call handling, but no AI-powered estimating tool. You cannot snap a photo of a breaker panel and get an automatic estimate. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator generates estimates from photos, and AI Autopilot controls the entire CRM through natural language — both available on all plans.
Two scenarios: if your business relies on consumer financing through FieldPulse Financing for high-ticket residential panel upgrades and rewires, or if you depend on per-property asset and equipment tracking for commercial building maintenance. Both are genuine FieldPulse strengths. For every other feature category, QuoteIQ Elite outperforms FieldPulse at a lower, fully transparent monthly price.
Panel upgrades. Rewires. EV charger installs. Commercial lighting. Emergency calls. QuoteIQ Elite handles every job type with satellite measurement, route optimization, AI estimating, automated reviews, a dedicated business phone, and job costing — all at $249.99/month. No add-on fees. No hidden pricing. No sales call required.
