QuoteIQ gives window cleaning companies one app for quoting, scheduling, route optimization, job costing, payments and automated review requests — starting at $29.99/month with no per-user fees.
QuoteIQ is the best software for window cleaning businesses in 2026. It combines satellite property measurement, tiered Options Estimates, drag-and-drop scheduling, route optimization, photo documentation, invoicing and automated review requests in a single mobile app. Plans run from $29.99/month for a solo operator to $699/month for unlimited users, with no per-seat surcharge on any tier and a 14-day free trial on the plan you choose.
TL;DR: Window cleaning is a high-volume, route-based trade — 20 to 30 short jobs a week per crew, each one needing a quote, a scheduled slot, photos, an invoice and a review request. QuoteIQ handles that cycle end to end: MapMeasure Pro measures storefronts from satellite imagery, Options Estimates present interior, exterior and full-service tiers on one proposal, Route Density and Route Optimization cut drive time 15–30%, QuoteIQ Cam documents every pane, Job Costing shows real margin, and Review Multiplier turns paid invoices into Google reviews. Pricing starts at $29.99/month. For context on the trade itself, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 321,800 annual openings across building cleaning occupations, and OSHA 1910.28 governs the fall-protection rules that shape how you crew and price elevated work.
Running a window cleaning business means managing route-based crews, quoting residential homes and commercial storefronts accurately, collecting payment in the field, and keeping customers on a recurring schedule they never have to think about. The best software for window cleaning businesses handles all of that inside one platform — and in 2026, that platform is QuoteIQ.
QuoteIQ is an all-in-one field service CRM built by contractors, for contractors. It was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, both Co-Founders who ran home service companies before they built software for them. That origin shows up in the details: the window cleaning workflow assumes you are standing on a ladder with one hand free, not sitting at a desk with two monitors.
The structural problem with window cleaning is volume. A roofer quotes three jobs a week and works each one for days. A window cleaning company quotes thirty jobs a week and finishes most of them in under an hour. Every one of those jobs still generates a quote, a scheduled appointment, before-and-after photos, an invoice, a payment event and a review request. Software designed for project-based trades buckles under that cadence. Software designed for route work absorbs it.
A two-crew window cleaning operation running 20 stops a day, five days a week, completes 200 jobs per week. At six workflow events per job — quote, schedule, photo set, invoice, payment, review request — that is 1,200 discrete administrative actions every week. Automating even half of them is the difference between a Sunday spent reconciling invoices and a Sunday spent not working.
For window cleaning operators, Options Estimates present a homeowner with Good, Better and Best tiers on a single document — interior-only, interior plus exterior, and a full-service package with screens and hard water removal. The customer picks a tier instead of answering yes or no to one price. MapMeasure Pro, included from the Beginner plan up, measures commercial storefronts and residential lots from satellite imagery without a site visit, so you can quote while the lead is still warm. It also stores every measurement against the customer profile and can scroll back through years of historical aerial imagery when a property has changed.
Inventory Management on the Elite plan tracks squeegee rubbers, T-bar covers, extension pole sections, cleaning solutions and water-fed pole filters across your van and your warehouse, with reorder points so you never arrive short. Pipelines & Deals, also Elite and above, moves commercial contracts through stages from initial walkthrough to signed agreement, and multiplies each deal’s amount by its close probability so your forecast reflects reality rather than optimism.
The Before & After AI generator takes a photo of a grimy storefront and produces a realistic preview of the cleaned result in roughly 15 to 20 seconds — a selling tool that closes commercial accounts before a crew ever shows up. Every estimate and invoice supports e-signatures and contract attachments, so a recurring service agreement gets signed on the customer’s doorstep and filed against the job record.
Window cleaning sits inside the broader building cleaning and maintenance category, where the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 321,800 openings each year on average over the 2025–2035 decade. Most of that is replacement demand, which tells you something useful: this is a trade with constant turnover at the bottom and real room at the top for operators who look professional and stay organized.
The International Window Cleaning Association makes the same point from the safety side — standards, education and training are what separate licensed operators from bucket-and-ladder hobbyists. Those standards have teeth. OSHA 1910.28 requires fall protection for general-industry work at or above four feet, and OSHA 1910.23 sets the ladder rules — rungs spaced between 10 and 14 inches, one hand on the ladder while climbing. Any software you run should make it easy to record that a job was done to standard, which is exactly what timestamped photos and inspection forms are for.
Whether you are a solo operator running 20 residential stops a day or a ten-person crew servicing a downtown commercial route, QuoteIQ replaces four or five separate subscriptions — a scheduling calendar, a route planner, an invoicing app, a photo documentation service and a review management tool — with one login. The U.S. Small Business Administration puts integrated systems near the top of its operational guidance for small service firms, and consolidating five tools into one is the cleanest version of that advice available to a window cleaning company.
Most window cleaning businesses start with a shared spreadsheet for scheduling, a group text for crew communication, a peer-to-peer payment app for collecting, and a personal cell number for customers. It works, right up until it does not — and the breaking point tends to land somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000 in annual revenue. At that volume, missed follow-ups cost real money, double-booked routes waste entire mornings, and the owner spends Sunday evening reconciling invoices instead of resting before Monday’s route.
Moving to purpose-built software for window cleaning businesses closes those leaks one at a time. Email and text automations on the Pro plan chase every unanswered estimate on a schedule you set once. Drag-and-drop scheduling shows crew availability in real time so two jobs never land in the same slot. Online Payments collect by card or ACH in the field instead of three weeks later. And the Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies the lead, filters the spam and transcribes the conversation while you are three stories up — so the call that would have gone to voicemail becomes a transcript waiting on your phone at lunch.
If you want to sanity-check your own numbers before changing anything, the home service business calculators are free and need no account — and the gutter cleaning cost calculator is a useful companion for window cleaners who upsell gutters on the same visit.
Every feature below is built into QuoteIQ — no third-party integration required, no separate login, no surprise add-on. The plan each one unlocks on is noted so you can size your subscription honestly instead of guessing.
Present interior-only, exterior-only and full-service packages side by side on one estimate. The homeowner compares a basic clean against a premium interior-exterior-screen package and picks a tier. Available on every plan, including Essentials.
Measure commercial storefronts, residential exteriors and building facades from satellite imagery without driving to the property. Drawing tools handle complex shapes, screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof, and historical imagery lets you scroll back years. Beginner plan and above.
Track squeegee rubbers, T-bar covers, extension poles, solution gallons and water-fed pole filters across products, locations, suppliers, orders and transactions. Stock deducts when the invoice is paid. Elite plan and above.
Total price minus labor minus expenses equals profit, shown per job with a margin bar. Labor pulls automatically from clocked hours and the employee’s hourly rate, so the margin is measured rather than estimated. Pro plan and above.
Bundle window cleaning with gutter cleaning, pressure washing or solar panel cleaning into prebuilt packages — Spring Clean, Fall Prep, Full Exterior Refresh. Sell more services per visit without an awkward sales conversation on the ladder. Every plan.
Snap a photo of a grimy storefront and generate a realistic preview of the cleaned result in about 15 to 20 seconds. Attach it to any estimate type so a property manager can see the outcome before signing. Every plan, metered in IQ Credits.
Drag-and-drop across day, week, month and employee-timeline views, color-coded by status, with recurring series for monthly or quarterly cleans and automated appointment reminders. Every plan; on-the-way texts unlock at Pro.
Document every job with organized before-and-after photo sets, annotations, custom inspection reports and unlimited 4K cloud storage. Galleries attach to the job record and can be shared with the customer. Beginner plan and above.
Sequences the day’s stops for minimum drive time, accounts for appointment windows and job duration, recalculates when a job is added late, and cuts drive time by 15 to 30%. Pairs with Route Density. Elite plan and above.
Conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text, with 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. Say “move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer” and it executes. Every plan, drawn from your monthly IQ Credits.
An AI phone team that answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam, records and transcribes every call, and runs outbound campaigns. Priced per minute in IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute, so lower tiers get fewer minutes.
Track commercial accounts through stages — walkthrough, proposal sent, negotiation, signed — on a Kanban board. Weighted value multiplies amount by close probability. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. Elite plan and above.
The twelve capabilities above would normally be four or five separate subscriptions: a quoting tool, a measurement service, a photo documentation app, a route planner and a review platform. On QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month, with four users included and no per-seat surcharge, they are one line item on one card.
The walkthrough below is an illustrative day for a two-crew residential and commercial window cleaning company. The dollar figures are an example scenario, not a guarantee — but the sequence of tools is exactly how the platform is used in the field.
The owner opens the calendar at 6:30 AM and reviews 18 residential stops and 2 commercial accounts. Route Optimization has already sequenced the day for minimum drive time — on a route that long, the 15–30% reduction is the difference between finishing at 4 PM and finishing at 5:30. Jobs are assigned to individual technicians, and on-the-way texts are queued to fire as each tech departs.
At each stop the technician captures before photos with QuoteIQ Cam, then after shots once the glass is done. Both attach to the job record automatically. At the commercial storefront, the tech uses an inspection form to flag a cracked seal on window 4B, which generates a documented record for the property manager rather than a text message that gets lost.
A new commercial lead calls in. While still on the phone, the owner uses MapMeasure Pro to measure the building’s glass area from satellite view and builds an Options Estimate with three tiers — exterior-only at $680, interior and exterior at $1,150, and full service with hard water removal at $1,620. The Before & After AI tool generates a cleaned preview. The property manager selects the middle tier and signs via e-signature before lunch.
At a residential stop the homeowner mentions clogged gutters. The tech adds gutter cleaning as an optional line item on the existing estimate — $185 for a single-story home. Job Costing shows the add-on carries a 68% margin after labor and supplies, so the upsell is approved on the spot and the ticket moves from $240 to $425. Operators pricing this work for the first time can sanity-check against the gutter cleaning cost calculator.
The owner reviews job costing across all 20 stops. Revenue $3,840. Labor $1,120 across two technicians at eight hours each, pulled straight from Time Tracker Pro. Supplies $186, logged through expense tracking. Net profit $2,534 at a 66% margin. The far-north residential loop came in at 41% because of drive time, and gets flagged for a routing fix next week.
Review Multiplier has sent review requests on every completed job, either as an instant post-payment redirect or as an email and SMS sequence. Business analytics show weekly revenue, conversion rate and average ticket side by side, and the pipeline reports $14,200 in probability-weighted deals expected to close inside 30 days.
The IRS standard mileage rate for business use is 76 cents per mile from July 1 through December 31, 2026. A crew that drives 60 miles a day, five days a week, is putting roughly $228 a week through the odometer before fuel volatility is even considered. Cutting that by the 15–30% Route Optimization delivers recovers $34 to $68 per crew per week — and buys back time for another stop.
That entire sequence — morning dispatch through end-of-week review automation — runs inside one app with one login. No window cleaning spreadsheet, no separate photo documentation subscription, no second phone line, no standalone route planner. The tools that most window cleaning companies assemble one subscription at a time arrive assembled.

Every competitor figure in the table below was read directly from that vendor’s own live pricing page on October 3, 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a rate card, the table says so rather than guessing. Feature-availability claims about other platforms are deliberately absent — those vendors ship changes constantly, and a stale checkmark is worse than no checkmark.
| Platform | Entry plan (monthly) | Users at entry | Higher tier (monthly) | Extra seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | $29.99 Essentials | 1 | $149.99 Pro · $299 Elite | None — seats included |
| Jobber | $49 Core | 1 | $139 Connect · $199+ Grow | $29/user/mo |
| Housecall Pro | $79 Basic | 1 | $189 Essentials · $329 Max | $35/user/mo on Max |
| ServiceTitan | No published rate card — pricing is quote-only via their sales team. See their pricing page. | |||
| ResponsiBid | Free Startup tier | Not published | $179 Scaling · $229 Pro | Plus a setup fee — amount not published |
Window cleaning is a crew trade — three technicians and an office coordinator is a normal four-person shop. On QuoteIQ Pro, those four seats are included in the $149.99. On platforms that charge per additional user, four seats means the base plan plus three surcharges, every month, forever. Jobber’s published additional-user rate is $29/month and Housecall Pro’s is $35/month on its Max tier, both read from their own pricing pages on October 3, 2026. Add a fifth technician in spring and QuoteIQ’s price does not move; a per-seat platform’s does.
There is a second, quieter cost difference. Photo documentation on QuoteIQ is QuoteIQ Cam, included from the Beginner plan up, rather than a separate per-user subscription to a dedicated tool like CompanyCam. Satellite measurement is MapMeasure Pro rather than a third-party measurement service billed by the property. Customer self-quoting is InstaQuote on the Elite plan rather than a bolt-on bidding product. None of that makes the other tools bad — several are excellent at the one thing they do. It means the integration tax lands on someone else’s invoice, not yours. If you want a side-by-side on a specific vendor, the comparison hub covers them individually, and the ServiceTitan pricing calculator is a useful reality check before you take an enterprise sales call.
A growing window cleaning company needs more than a shared calendar. EmployeeHub, on the Elite plan and above, gives you a central place to run the team: an employee database with hourly rates and availability, roles and permissions that decide who sees payroll data and who only sees today’s route, GPS location tracking that shows the live team map while technicians are clocked in and stops the moment they clock out, and team communication so job notes stop living in a group text.
Eight to ten stops a day on high-end estates and commercial accounts. Every job documented with QuoteIQ Cam, upsells for hard water removal and screen cleaning presented through Options Estimates. Higher average ticket, slower pace, margin protected by documentation.
Eighteen to twenty-two stops a day on tight residential loops, built around Route Density zones and sequenced by Route Optimization. Lower ticket, higher throughput, and Review Multiplier firing on every paid invoice.
Measures storefronts remotely with MapMeasure Pro and Property Street View, sends tiered proposals within hours, and works the Deals board. Permissions restrict them to sales data — no payroll, no crew financials.
Time Tracker Pro records GPS clock-in and clock-out, per-job hours, and break counts and durations, with admin-only manual adjustments and a full edit history. Those hours multiply by the employee’s stored hourly rate and flow straight into Job Costing, which is why the margin figure on a window cleaning route is measured rather than assumed. Hours export to whatever payroll system you already run — QuoteIQ tracks time, it does not cut checks.
“Same day. Not tomorrow morning — same day. Whoever sends a clear, specific estimate first is the one the customer starts comparing everyone else to. That’s a psychological anchor, and it’s real.”

Commercial contracts are the highest-margin, most predictable revenue a window cleaning business can build. A monthly storefront at $600 is $7,200 a year. A quarterly office building at $2,400 a visit is $9,600 a year. The difficulty is the sales cycle: property managers request walkthrough proposals, compare bids, negotiate terms and take 30 to 90 days to sign. Without a structured pipeline, those proposals sit in an inbox and die quietly.
Pipelines & Deals gives you a Kanban board and a list view for every commercial proposal, with stages carrying close-probability percentages and a weighted value calculated as amount multiplied by probability. Six-metric analytics cover total value, weighted value, open deals, closed-won, new deals and average deal age — so you know whether the board holds $40,000 in likely revenue or $40,000 in wishful thinking. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. Mass Campaigns on the same tier let you re-engage property managers who went quiet after a walkthrough, segmented by tag.
Commercial buyers also behave differently once they sign. They want documentation, they want a record of inspections, and they want to see what they are paying for without emailing you. The Client Portal on the Pro plan gives each account a branded, secure link where they can view and approve estimates, pay invoices, see appointments and inspection records, and submit new service requests — no app download, no account to create. For a facilities manager running twelve buildings, that portal is often the reason a contract renews.
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Statistics of U.S. Businesses program publishes establishment counts by industry and enterprise size — a useful way to see how many of the commercial properties in your county belong to employers large enough to carry a recurring exterior maintenance budget. Pair that with Route Density and you can plan commercial prospecting by zone instead of by whoever calls.
Volume-over-value is the defining economic fact of window cleaning, and it changes what “good software” means. It means speed of quoting — which is why Quick Estimates exist alongside full Standard Estimates, and why the AI Estimator can read property photos, ask targeted follow-up questions and generate line-item pricing for your local market. It means speed of scheduling, speed of routing and speed of invoicing, where a completed job converts to an invoice in one tap and collects through Online Payments by card or ACH before the van leaves the driveway.
It also means the repetitive steps should stop being steps. Invoice Subscriptions bill quarterly and biannual customers automatically. InstaSchedule lets a homeowner rebook their next clean at 11 PM on a Sunday against your real availability. Reminders and tasks catch the follow-ups that fall between jobs, and website contact forms drop new leads straight into the customer database instead of an email address nobody checks on Saturday.
“If you’re losing two jobs a month because follow-up falls through the cracks, and each job is worth $300, that’s $7,200 a year from one failure point. Most $150,000-plus businesses have four or five failure points like that running simultaneously.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder, QuoteIQ · Full insights →
Convert one-time cleans into quarterly or biannual contracts with Invoice Subscriptions. A customer paying $240 for a single clean becomes $960 a year on a quarterly plan. One hundred fifty recurring residential clients at that rate is $144,000 in predictable annual revenue before you win a single new customer. InstaSchedule handles the rebooking without a phone call, and accepted estimates can be converted directly into a recurring subscription rather than rekeyed.
Commercial window cleaning runs on recurring agreements — monthly storefronts, quarterly office buildings, biannual high-rise work. A thirty-unit strip mall at $1,400 a month is $16,800 a year; five of those is $84,000 annually from a handful of relationships. Track each one through Pipelines & Deals, attach the signed agreement with contract attachments, and keep the paperwork with the account rather than in a filing cabinet. A clean contractor invoice template is a reasonable starting point if you are still billing commercial work by hand.
Your window cleaning customers are already paying for access to their property. Package Estimates bundle gutter cleaning, pressure washing and solar panel cleaning into a single visit, and Options Estimates present them as optional tiers so nobody feels sold to. If an average cross-sell adds $180 per appointment across 200 opportunities a year, that is $36,000 in incremental revenue from customers already on the route. Price the add-ons against the pressure washing cost calculator before you quote them.
Recurring residential at $144,000, commercial contracts at $84,000 and cross-sell at $36,000 is a $264,000 book of business running through one platform. On QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month with ten users included, the software cost of managing it is $3,588 a year — about 1.4% of revenue, with no per-seat surcharge as the crew grows.
Window cleaning revenue is seasonal in most markets. Spring and early summer are peak — homeowners want clean glass after winter and commercial properties prepare for high-traffic months. Late fall falls off as temperatures drop and daylight shortens. The lever that flattens the curve is conversion: turning peak-season one-time customers into recurring clients while they are happy, so January bills itself.
Invoice Subscriptions bill and schedule a customer who signed up in April straight through to January without manual follow-up. Email and text automations fire the seasonal reminder — fall cleaning due next month — to customers who have not rebooked, with multi-step sequences and personalization tags. Business analytics show revenue by service, by customer and by employee, plus conversion rate and average ticket, so crew sizing and equipment purchases get planned against data rather than gut feel.
Many window cleaning operators fill the winter with adjacent work — gutter cleaning, soft washing, roof washing or holiday lighting installation. None of that requires a second CRM. The same subscription handles every trade QuoteIQ supports, with separate estimate templates, separate calendars and separate job costing visibility per service line, and operators pricing a December lighting route can start from the Christmas light installation cost calculator. The full list is on the industries hub.
One more cash-flow lever is worth naming. Consumer Financing is available on every plan, letting a customer split a large exterior package across installments while you are paid in full upfront and the financing provider carries collections and default risk. On a $1,620 full-service commercial clean or a whole-house exterior refresh, that is often the difference between a signature and a “let me think about it.”
Each of these is native to QuoteIQ — no marketplace, no separate monthly subscription per capability, no integration to maintain.
A window cleaning company on QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month gets Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, job costing, AI Autopilot, Virtual Call Team minutes, Review Multiplier, Before & After AI, scheduling, invoicing, online payments, e-signatures, ClientHub and analytics in one login with four users included. The full catalogue lives on the features hub.

Most window cleaning companies land on Pro at $149.99/month, because that is where job costing, ClientHub, email and text automations and QuickBooks Online arrive together. Companies running two or more crews move up to Elite at $299/month for routing, self-scheduling, inventory and the commercial pipeline. Annual billing on any plan is ten months paid for twelve — Elite works out to $2,990 a year.
Two optional extras are worth knowing about rather than discovering later. The AI Website Builder is a $34.99/month add-on on every plan and is included on Max. Done-For-You setup — contact import, price book configuration and a one-on-one onboarding session — comes in two tiers at $299.99 and $999.99 one time, which is worth considering if you are migrating several years of customer history rather than starting fresh. The complete breakdown is on the pricing page.
A two-crew window cleaning company billing $400,000 a year on Elite pays $3,588 annually for software — 0.9% of revenue, with ten user seats included and no per-technician surcharge. The same crew count on a platform charging $29 to $35 per additional seat adds roughly $2,000 to $2,900 a year in seat fees alone on top of its base plan, based on the additional-user rates published by Jobber and Housecall Pro and read on October 3, 2026.
QuoteIQ is the best software for window cleaning businesses in 2026, starting at $29.99 per month for a solo operator. It covers the full route-based cycle in one app: Options Estimates present interior, exterior and full-service tiers on a single proposal; MapMeasure Pro measures storefront glass from satellite imagery before you drive; drag-and-drop scheduling handles recurring quarterly cleans; QuoteIQ Cam documents every pane with before-and-after photo sets; and Job Costing reports real margin per route rather than an estimate. Four users are included on the $149.99 Pro plan with no per-seat surcharge at any tier. For wider trade context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 321,800 annual openings across building cleaning occupations over the 2025–2035 decade, which is why operators who look organized win the repeat work.
QuoteIQ runs from $29.99 to $699 per month depending on team size. Essentials is $29.99 for one user, Beginner is $74.99 for two, Pro is $149.99 for four, Elite is $299 for ten and Max is $699 for unlimited users. Annual billing is ten months paid for twelve, so Elite works out to $2,990 a year. There is no per-seat surcharge on any plan, which matters in a crew trade: adding a fourth technician on Pro costs nothing extra. Optional extras are the AI Website Builder at $34.99 per month, included on Max, and Done-For-You setup at $299.99 or $999.99 one time. Each plan also carries a monthly IQ Credit allowance that the AI features draw from — 500 on Essentials rising to 8,000 on Max — so heavier use of Virtual Call Team minutes or AI Autopilot is a reason to size up a tier. The U.S. Small Business Administration publishes general guidance on budgeting operating systems for small service firms.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro, included from the $74.99 Beginner plan up, measures linear and area dimensions of any property from satellite imagery — commercial storefronts, residential exteriors and building facades — with drawing tools for irregular shapes. Measurements save to the customer profile and export into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of the scope you priced. Historical aerial imagery lets you scroll back through years of photos when a building has been renovated. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access fill in ground-level detail on the same screen, and the result feeds straight into an Options Estimate or a reusable Package Estimate template, so a storefront quote can go out within minutes of the call. Remote measurement also reduces unnecessary trips to elevated sites governed by OSHA 1910.28, which requires fall protection at or above four feet in general industry.
QuoteIQ Elite at $299 per month is the strongest fit for commercial window cleaning, because that tier adds Pipelines & Deals — a Kanban board where each proposal carries a close probability and a weighted value calculated as amount multiplied by that probability. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. A monthly storefront contract at $600 is $7,200 a year, so forecasting accuracy is worth real money. Pair it with MapMeasure Pro for remote facade measurement, contract attachments for the signed agreement, the Client Portal so facilities managers can self-serve, and Mass Campaigns to revive stalled negotiations. Invoice Subscriptions then bill the contract automatically each cycle, so a signed quarterly agreement never needs re-invoicing by hand. The Census Bureau’s Statistics of U.S. Businesses helps size the commercial market in your county before you start prospecting.
Review Multiplier ships two mechanics, and window cleaning companies typically use both. The first is an instant post-payment redirect that sends the customer to your review page the moment they pay. The second is a full email and SMS review-request automation with four event triggers, so a customer who paid by check still gets asked. Destinations include Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp and Angi. Because a window cleaning crew completes 100 or more jobs a week, a review request attached to payment rather than to a manual follow-up compounds quickly. Combine it with QuoteIQ Cam galleries, InstaSchedule rebooking and analytics to see which routes generate the most reviews. The International Window Cleaning Association treats that kind of professionalism and documentation as the benchmark separating licensed operators from casual competitors.
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose — not a generic feature set, and not the top tier unless you select the top tier. One trial is available 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 your selected plan’s rate unless you cancel before it expires, and you can cancel at any point during the trial. Window cleaning operators usually test on live jobs: build an Options Estimate, measure a storefront with MapMeasure Pro, document a route with QuoteIQ Cam, collect through Online Payments and check the margin in Job Costing. Fourteen days is enough to run a full recurring cycle on a residential route and see whether the automations actually hold. General small-business startup guidance is available from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Route Optimization, on the $299 Elite plan and above, sequences the day’s stops for minimum drive time, accounts for appointment windows and job duration, recalculates when a job is added late, and cuts drive time by 15 to 30%. Route Density answers the separate question of where your customers cluster, so you can zone the week before sequencing the day — density is where, optimization is what order. At the IRS standard mileage rate of 76 cents per mile for July through December 2026, a crew driving 300 miles a week is running $228 through the odometer; a 20% reduction returns about $46 weekly per crew, before counting the extra stop that fits into the recovered hour. Pair it with scheduling, on-the-way texts from automations, GPS location tracking for live crew positions, and Job Costing to confirm which loops actually carry their drive time.
For most window cleaning companies under about 20 employees, QuoteIQ is the better economic fit, and the clearest reason is seat pricing. QuoteIQ includes four users on Pro at $149.99 and ten on Elite at $299 with no per-seat surcharge; read on their own pricing pages on October 3, 2026, Jobber’s published additional-user rate is $29 per month and Housecall Pro’s is $35 per month on its Max tier. Satellite measurement, photo documentation and customer self-quoting are native here through MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam and InstaQuote rather than assembled from separate subscriptions. Feature sets change often on every platform, so check each vendor’s current pages — and the comparison hub — before deciding rather than trusting any published checklist, including this one. Safety obligations under OSHA 1910.23 apply whichever platform you pick.
1. Options Estimates put interior-only, exterior-only and full-service tiers on one proposal, so the customer chooses a level instead of answering yes or no to a single price. Included from Essentials.
2. MapMeasure Pro measures commercial storefronts from satellite view so you quote before you drive, with historical imagery and measurements saved to the customer profile. Beginner plan and above.
3. Route Optimization sequences 15 to 20 daily stops and cuts drive time by 15 to 30%, with Route Density showing where to build the zone in the first place. Elite plan and above.
4. Review Multiplier fires review requests both as an instant post-payment redirect and as a four-trigger email and SMS automation, turning a high-volume route into review volume.
5. Job Costing reports price minus labor minus expenses per job, with labor pulled from clocked hours — measured margin, not estimated margin. Pro plan and above.
6. Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam and transcribes every conversation while you are on a ladder, metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute.
7. QuoteIQ Cam captures organized before-and-after photo sets with annotations and unlimited 4K storage — the documentation that settles a dispute in one tap. Beginner plan and above.
8. Pricing starts at $29.99/month with users included at every tier and no per-seat surcharge — so hiring a third technician in spring does not change the invoice.
A walkthrough of quoting, scheduling, documenting and invoicing inside the app — the same cycle a window cleaning route runs 100 times a week.
Most window cleaning companies are running on a spreadsheet, a payment app and a phone. Migrating takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
Create the account and pick the plan that matches your crew size — Pro for four users, Elite for ten. AI Smart Import maps a CSV from any CRM or spreadsheet automatically, or pulls contacts from your phone, so your existing book lands in the customer database on day one.
Enter your services — interior, exterior, screens, tracks, hard water removal, gutter add-ons — with pricing and photos. Save reusable Options Estimate and Package Estimate templates so a quote becomes three taps instead of a blank page.
Place your existing jobs on the calendar, set quarterly and biannual customers as recurring series, and let Route Optimization sequence the first week. Turn on InstaSchedule if you want customers rebooking themselves.
Configure Online Payments so invoices collect by card or ACH in the field, switch on email and text automations for estimate follow-up, and enable Review Multiplier so every paid invoice asks for a review without you remembering to.
QuoteIQ was founded in Savannah, Georgia in September 2022 by two home service operators who had already run the businesses the software is for. That is the reason the estimate screen assumes one free hand and the reason routing exists at all.
“Just downloaded the app in preparation for my solar panel cleaning business. Will be starting projects this coming spring and this app will help keep track of appointment and sending quote for jobs. Real easy to navigate with an arsenal of tools that’ll help keep business flowing. Highly recommend for entrepreneurs starting out in the service industry.”
