FieldEdge publishes no price list, and its AI call answering, review automation, and online booking run through paid partners. Contractors report about $1,086–$1,406/month for a five-person septic crew once those gaps are filled, plus $500–$2,000+ to get started. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month, with up to 10 users included.
FieldEdge by Xplor is a legitimate, long-running field service platform. By its own account it has been building field service software since 1980 and serves more than 40,000 users, and its dispatch board, service agreements, and QuickBooks sync are real strengths. A septic service business runs a different day than an HVAC shop, though: routine pump-outs by tank size (750, 1,000, and 1,500 gallons), emergency backup calls at 10 p.m., real estate transfer inspections against a closing deadline, Title 5 inspections in Massachusetts, camera inspections, baffle and filter work, distribution-box and drain-field repairs, and commercial grease trap and pump station contracts all arrive on the same phone line.
That mix is where FieldEdge’s price sheet gets long. FieldEdge does not publish pricing. Third-party reports put it near $100 per office user and $125 per field technician per month, with a mandatory onboarding of roughly five weeks and a one-time setup fee reported at $500–$2,000+. AI call answering runs through Goodcall ($79–$249/month). Review automation runs through partners such as Birdeye ($299–$449/month). Online booking runs through Schedule Engine, and vehicle GPS through FleetSharp hardware or ArgoTrak. Inventory (about $39/month) and Advanced Reporting (about $49/month) are reported as add-ons. Every figure on this page is third-party or user-reported, was verified on September 25, 2026, and is re-checked every 30 days.
This guide doesn’t argue FieldEdge is a bad product. It shows what a five-person septic crew (one office user and four field techs) reportedly pays to cover the same ground as QuoteIQ Elite, and where each platform genuinely leads.
FieldEdge does not publish a price list. These are third-party and user-reported figures for one office user and four field techs, set against the QuoteIQ Elite features a septic company would use.
Verified September 25, 2026. Re-verified every 30 days (next check: October 25, 2026).
+ $500–$2,000+ one-time setup (mandatory ~5-week onboarding)
AI tools run on monthly IQ Credits (5,000 on Elite). Extra credit packs start at $25 for 2,500 credits.
Two capabilities we could not find anywhere in FieldEdge’s published features: AI estimating from a photo or job description, and satellite pre-scoping of a property before dispatch (September 2026 search). For a septic company that means a site visit before most repair and replacement quotes. Both are built into QuoteIQ.
Covering QuoteIQ Elite’s ground on FieldEdge reportedly takes a base plan plus five priced add-ons and partners, totaling $1,086–$1,406+/month before two more (GPS hardware and online booking) that publish no price, plus $500–$2,000+ up front. That is a reported $787–$1,107 more per month than QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month. One plan. One login.
Where FieldEdge is genuinely strong, the table says so. Where a feature is not in FieldEdge’s published features, it says “not found” rather than “impossible.”

| ⚠ = available through a partner or add-on at extra cost, or partial.

Genuine FieldEdge advantages: QuickBooks Desktop support, dispatch board maturity, and service agreement depth. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. | ||
FieldEdge leads on QuickBooks Desktop, dispatch board depth, and service agreements. QuoteIQ Elite leads on AI quoting, satellite pre-scoping, before & after AI photos, and on bundling call answering, review automation, GPS, and self-booking into one $299/month plan instead of four partner bills.
Being transparent: here is the honest case for FieldEdge. Three points, and all three are real product advantages.
QuickBooks Desktop and Online, both native. FieldEdge syncs with both versions. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. If your bookkeeper is committed to Desktop, that is a legitimate reason to stay.
A dispatch board with decades behind it. FieldEdge says it built the industry’s first dispatch board more than 20 years ago, and its drag-and-drop board with real-time technician status is mature. Reviewers on G2 praise the dispatch board and call history. QuoteIQ rebuilt its calendar in September 2026, but FieldEdge has more years on this one feature.
Service agreement depth. Renewals, billing, and scheduling for maintenance agreements are FieldEdge’s home turf, and reviewers name agreement reminders as a favorite feature. QuoteIQ handles recurring jobs and invoice subscriptions, but it is not agreement-first.
A full walkthrough of the platform built for home service contractors — by contractors who ran businesses like yours.
The switch is a CSV export and an import — no mandatory five-week onboarding. Here is the process from account creation to your first pre-scoped quote.
Go to admin-quoteiq.web.app/register and pick the plan that fits your crew size. Every plan includes 14 days of full access to that tier, so you can run real pump-out and inspection jobs before you decide.
Export your customer list from FieldEdge as a CSV file. You need names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and any tank size or last pump-out date your team keeps in notes or custom fields.
Upload the CSV to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI maps your columns, shows an import preview, and flags duplicates before anything lands. Done-For-You setup ($299.99 or $999.99 tiers) is optional if you would rather have QuoteIQ handle it.
Add routine pump-outs by tank size (750, 1,000, and 1,500 gallons), emergency after-hours pumping, septic inspections, real estate transfer inspections, camera inspections, baffle and filter service, distribution-box repair, drain-field repair, and annual maintenance contracts. Options and Package estimates let you present good-better-best repair choices.
Open MapMeasure Pro, check truck access and lot layout, and build the estimate from your price book (or let AI Estimator draft it from a job description). Send it by text or email, then turn on Virtual Call Team so after-hours backup calls get answered.
FieldEdge holds a 4.0 out of 5 on G2 across 87 reviews, and reviewers praise its dispatching, technician ease of use, and customer history. The complaints that push contractors to look elsewhere cluster around cost, integrations, and support.
“Everything is an additional charge.”
Shannon A. · Office Manager · G2 review Pain point: Add-on costs“Lack of capabilities within one single dashboard, integrations are poorly connected and come at higher costs than competitors with little in house benefits”

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — both ran home service businesses before building software to solve the problems they faced firsthand.
Mike has owned a pressure washing business for 20+ years and is a published author. Route-based, repeat-customer work like septic service runs on the same loop he built QuoteIQ around: measure the property remotely, quote it fast, route the trucks tightly, and get the next visit on the calendar. He shares contractor growth strategies with 580,000+ YouTube subscribers.
Justin is a serial entrepreneur who built multiple seven-figure service businesses before co-founding QuoteIQ. He built it out of frustration with platforms that make contractors stitch together separate tools to run one business. His ForeverSelfEmployed YouTube channel covers business building for independent operators.
FieldEdge’s advantages are real, so here is the full case for staying.
Your books run on QuickBooks Desktop. FieldEdge syncs natively with both Desktop and Online. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. If your accountant will not move off Desktop, that is a legitimate reason to stay.
Your business is built on service agreements and a deep dispatch board. If your dispatchers live in FieldEdge’s board and your revenue is agreement renewals, and you have already absorbed its partner stack cost, switching buys you less.
The honest bottom line: The only reasons to stay are QuickBooks Desktop and agreement-first dispatch depth. Those are real product advantages. For a septic company that wants AI quoting, satellite pre-scoping, call answering, review automation, and self-booking on one published-price plan, QuoteIQ Elite covers it for $299/month. One more honest note: neither platform is septic-native, so if your state requires waste manifest or disposal-site reporting, check that requirement before you choose any general field service software.
Yes, for septic companies that want AI quoting, satellite pre-scoping, call answering, review automation, and customer self-booking on one plan with published pricing. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month with up to 10 users. FieldEdge is stronger on QuickBooks Desktop support, dispatch board depth, and service agreements. Neither platform is built specifically for septic waste manifests.
FieldEdge does not publish pricing. Third-party reports estimate roughly $100 per office user and $125 per field technician per month, or about $600/month for one office user and four technicians, with plans (Select, Premier, and Elite) quoted by sales. One source lists lower “starting” prices, so confirm with FieldEdge. Reported add-ons include Inventory Management (about $39/month), Advanced Reporting (about $49/month), and extra mobile licenses (about $25 per technician per month). All figures are third-party or user-reported, verified September 25, 2026.
An April 2026 review listed no free trial for FieldEdge, and its onboarding is described as mandatory and about five weeks long. Confirm current terms with FieldEdge. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on every plan, with one trial per person.
Third-party sources report a one-time setup or onboarding fee of $500–$2,000+ plus a mandatory onboarding of roughly five weeks. QuoteIQ has no required setup fee. Done-For-You setup is optional, at $299.99 or $999.99, and includes contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session.
FieldEdge does not include AI call answering natively. It integrates with Goodcall, which is reported at $79 (Starter), $129 (Growth), or $249 (Scale) per month, capped by unique callers, with a $0.50 charge per extra unique caller. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team is available on every plan and is metered in IQ Credits: 125 credits is about one minute of AI-answered call. Elite’s 5,000 monthly credits cover about 40 minutes if used for nothing else, extra packs start at $25 for 2,500 credits (about 20 minutes), and optional higher-volume Virtual Call Team tiers (LITE at $99.99/month and PRO at $199.99/month) are available.
FieldEdge connects to review partners including Birdeye, Podium, Broadly, and ReviewBuzz. Birdeye is reported at $299 (Starter), $349 (Growth), or $449 (Dominate) per location per month, billed annually upfront and quote-based. QuoteIQ’s Review Multiplier dashboard is on every plan, and automated review requests (by SMS or email after an invoice is paid) are included on Elite and above at $299/month.
FieldEdge lists online appointment requests as a native feature and offers real-time online booking through Schedule Engine, a partner integration; we could not find a published price for it. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule lets customers book themselves into your live calendar 24/7 on Elite and above, which suits pump-out reminders and real estate inspections with a closing deadline.
We could not find AI photo estimating or an AI receptionist in FieldEdge’s published features (April 2026 review and a September 2026 search). QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator is available on every plan and builds an estimate from photos or a job description for roughly 5–15 IQ Credits per estimate.
Yes. FieldEdge supports both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop natively. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only (Pro and above). If your accountant requires Desktop, that is a real reason to stay on FieldEdge.
Yes. FieldEdge lists 2-Way SMS Texting as an available native feature, so comparisons that say it needs a separate app are out of date. QuoteIQ’s ClientHub (Pro and above) adds a dedicated business phone number with two-way calling and texting inside the CRM; each text uses 4 IQ Credits.
No. FieldEdge is “FieldEdge by Xplor,” part of Xplor Technologies, and is not owned or backed by ServiceTitan. Some older comparison pages say otherwise; they are wrong.
Not as built-in state-specific templates. QuoteIQ documents pumping, inspection, and repair jobs with Inspection Forms (PDF output), timestamped QuoteIQ Cam photos, and job notes attached to each customer record, and you can export your data. If your state requires waste manifests or disposal-site logs in a specific format, confirm the requirement first. FieldEdge is also a general field service platform, and third-party reviewers note it lacks septic-specific compliance tools.
Export your customer list from FieldEdge as a CSV, then upload it to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import, which maps the columns, shows a preview, and flags duplicates. Build your septic price book (pump-outs by tank size, inspections, repairs, maintenance contracts), pre-scope a property in MapMeasure Pro, and send your first quote. Done-For-You setup is optional if you would rather have QuoteIQ do it.
Elite is $299/month for up to 10 users and 5,000 IQ Credits a month. It includes MapMeasure Pro, AI Estimator, AI Autopilot (55 tools), Virtual Call Team, Review Multiplier with automated requests, Before & After AI, InstaQuote and InstaSchedule, Route Optimization and Route Density Zones, GPS Location Tracker, EmployeeHub, Inventory Management, Pipelines and Deals, Mass Campaigns, ClientHub, Job Costing, Email & Text Automation, Client Portal, and QuickBooks Online sync.
Satellite pre-scoping, AI quotes, 24/7 call answering, customer self-booking, live GPS, and automatic review requests — all in one platform, starting at $29.99/month.
