FieldEdge doesn’t publish its prices — user reports put a 7-person sump pump crew at about $825/month before add-ons, plus a reported $500–$2,000 setup fee and no free trial. QuoteIQ Elite is a published $299/month for up to 10 users, with AI call answering, satellite measurement, and route optimization in one login.
FieldEdge is a respected platform with a long history in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — its flat-rate pricebook and QuickBooks sync are built for that kind of work. A sump pump and basement waterproofing business runs on a different clock. Your busiest days are set by the weather, not the calendar: one overnight downpour or power flicker puts dozens of homeowners with dead or overwhelmed pumps on the phone at once — sump pump replacements, battery backup installs, float switch and check valve repairs, discharge line clearing, new pit and basin installs, and flooded-basement emergency calls.
That is where the software gap shows. FieldEdge doesn’t publish pricing, so you sit through a sales demo to get a number. Commonly reported rates are per seat — about $100 per office user and $125 per technician per month — and FieldEdge’s own pricing page says it does not offer a free trial. Storm-night call answering, satellite measurement of a discharge run, and automated route sequencing are not tools we could confirm in FieldEdge’s published features. And when you add a technician for spring runoff, the per-seat bill rises with them. If your sump pump work sits inside a plumbing company, the same math applies.
This guide doesn’t argue FieldEdge is a bad product — it isn’t. It shows what a sump pump crew reportedly pays, where FieldEdge is genuinely strong, where we couldn’t confirm a feature (and says so instead of guessing), and what QuoteIQ Elite includes for a published $299/month. FieldEdge figures were checked against FieldEdge’s own pages and third-party review sites in September 2026.
FieldEdge doesn’t publish prices, so every FieldEdge figure below is user-reported and labeled. We use FieldEdge’s top plan (Elite) for a 7-person crew — 2 office users and 5 field technicians — and price only the add-ons we could name from a public source.
+ $500–$2,000 one-time setup (reported) · no free trial
$825 base + $129 AI call answering. Excludes FleetSharp and review-partner pricing (not published).
14-day free trial. Optional Done-For-You setup available ($299.99 one-time).
The gap we couldn’t close for FieldEdge at any price: satellite property measurement. We found no native FieldEdge measurement tool and no measurement partner among the integrations we reviewed (QuickBooks, Intacct, FleetSharp, Trane Technologies, Podium, pulseM, Coolfront, Xplor Pay, and others). Ask FieldEdge to confirm in writing — if it exists, it isn’t in their published materials.
Data note: FieldEdge does not publish pricing or a complete feature list. Figures marked user-reported come from third-party pricing and review sites (retrieved September 2026); items marked as listed by FieldEdge come from fieldedge.com. Verify everything with FieldEdge in writing before you decide. This page is re-verified periodically — last checked September 24, 2026.
At commonly reported rates, a 7-person crew pays about $825/month for FieldEdge Elite — roughly $954+/month once third-party AI call answering is added — plus a reported $500–$2,000 setup fee, before GPS and review-partner pricing. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month for up to 10 users, published, with a 14-day free trial. That is about $655/month less on the numbers we can verify — and you can price it yourself without booking a sales call.
The features a sump pump operation actually leans on — storm-night calls, dispatch, measurement, recurring inspection plans, and reviews. Where we couldn’t confirm a FieldEdge feature, the table says so instead of guessing. All prices are standard monthly billing — never annual, never promo.

Genuine FieldEdge advantages: QuickBooks Desktop and Enterprise sync, and a pre-loaded flat-rate pricebook. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. | ||
QuoteIQ Elite matches FieldEdge on dispatch, customer online booking, and recurring service plans — and adds AI call answering, satellite measurement, route optimization, and customer self-quoting on one flat plan. FieldEdge leads on QuickBooks Desktop and Enterprise sync and its pre-loaded flat-rate pricebook. On the numbers we could verify, the gap for a 7-person crew is about $655/month.
Being transparent: here is the complete case for choosing FieldEdge over QuoteIQ. Two points — and unlike most competitor pages, both are real.
Decades of heritage — and one genuine product advantage. FieldEdge dates to 1980, is now part of Xplor Technologies, and is reported to hold a Carrier preferred-vendor relationship. That is a track-record advantage, not a feature advantage. The real product edge is accounting: FieldEdge syncs with QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. If your accountant will not leave Desktop, that matters.
A pricebook and agreement system built for the HVAC / plumbing / electrical model. FieldEdge ships a flat-rate pricebook pre-loaded with thousands of parts, and service-agreement renewals are a flagship workflow. If your sump pump work lives inside a plumbing company running memberships on that pricebook, this is a real advantage. In QuoteIQ you build your own sump pump price book — pump tiers, battery backups, check valves — which takes an afternoon, but it is on you.
A full walkthrough of the platform built for home service contractors — by contractors who ran businesses like yours.
Five steps from account creation to your first sump pump estimate. Switch before storm season, not in the middle of it.
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 every feature on that tier — no sales call and no scheduled onboarding wait.
FieldEdge lets you export customer records, job history, and equipment logs as CSV files from the admin panel. Third-party reports say the exports use FieldEdge’s internal field names, so plan on a few hours of cleanup — not weeks.
Upload your CSV in QuoteIQ’s Imports Hub. The AI-assisted import gives you reviewable column mapping, a preview, and duplicate flagging before anything lands. It works for both contacts and services. A Done-For-You setup ($299.99) is also available.
Add sump pump replacement (pedestal and submersible), battery backup systems, water-powered backups, new pit and basin installation, check valve and float switch replacement, discharge line and ejector pump work, interior drain tile tie-ins, and annual pump inspection plans. Use Options Estimates to present good-better-best pump tiers.
Set up Virtual Call Team with your emergency script, publish InstaSchedule on your website, switch on Route Optimization, and enable Review Multiplier. Then measure your first property in MapMeasure Pro and send your first estimate.
FieldEdge reviews are mixed. Many users praise the QuickBooks sync and helpful chat support. The complaints below come from public Trustpilot, Software Advice, and Capterra pages (retrieved September 2026) and center on support, billing, and onboarding.
A reviewer three months in says problems started on day one and calls customer service “non-existent.” Their complaint: issues raised were answered only with instructions to open a support ticket.
Trustpilot reviewer · FieldEdge business profile Pain point: Support responsivenessA departing customer says they were promised a 2.7% card-processing rate, but the processor “charged us 3.4% right off the bat.” The same review says the sales rep said QuickBooks wouldn’t be required, yet they were paying $70 for it.
Software Advice reviewer · FieldEdge profile Pain point: Billing and processing ratesCapterra’s summary of user feedback notes some reviewers report inconsistent onboarding quality and outdated training materials, and others describe support quality declining after implementation.
Capterra review summary · FieldEdge listing Pain point: Onboarding consistencyOne Software Advice reviewer also noted sync delays when technicians work in areas with poor mobile reception, naming basements as an example. That is a real scenario for sump pump crews working below grade — worth asking any vendor how the mobile app behaves offline.

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan II and Justin Rogers — both of whom ran home service businesses before building software to solve the problems they faced firsthand.
Mike grew and sold a pressure washing business before co-founding QuoteIQ, so he has lived the missed-call, slow-quote, and backtrack-mile problems that hit any weather-driven service business — sump pump crews included. His advice for below-grade work is simple: keep “documentation before and after every single job.” He shares contractor growth strategies with 580,000+ YouTube subscribers.
Justin is a serial entrepreneur who has built, grown, and exited multiple service businesses. He co-founded QuoteIQ out of frustration with platforms that forced contractors to stitch together five separate tools to run one business. His ForeverSelfEmployed YouTube channel covers business building for independent operators.
In the interest of full transparency — here is the complete case for staying. Unlike most competitor comparisons, both reasons are genuine product advantages.
Your accountant runs QuickBooks Desktop or Enterprise. FieldEdge syncs with QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only. If your bookkeeping is built around Desktop and you won’t move, that is a legitimate reason to stay.
Your sump pump work sits inside an HVAC or plumbing company already running on FieldEdge’s flat-rate pricebook and service agreements — and your team is trained on them. That pre-loaded pricebook and agreement workflow is a real advantage, and rebuilding it has a real switching cost.
The honest bottom line: the only reasons to stay are QuickBooks Desktop or Enterprise, and a pricebook workflow you don’t want to rebuild. Those are genuine product wins for FieldEdge. For a sump pump business choosing on storm-night call handling, routing, measurement, and total monthly cost, QuoteIQ Elite delivers more for a published $299/month.
For storm-driven work, QuoteIQ covers more on one plan: AI call answering, satellite measurement, route optimization, customer self-quoting, and automated review requests are all included on QuoteIQ Elite for a published $299/month. FieldEdge is stronger in two areas: QuickBooks Desktop and Enterprise sync, and a pre-loaded flat-rate pricebook built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Both platforms handle dispatch, customer online booking, and recurring service plans.
FieldEdge doesn’t publish pricing — you get a quote after a sales demo. User reports commonly cite about $100 per office user and $125 per technician per month, which is roughly $825/month for 2 office users and 5 technicians on FieldEdge Elite. Other reports run higher, and setup is reported at $500–$2,000. Ask for a written line-item quote that shows what happens to your bill when you add technicians. QuoteIQ Elite is a published $299/month for up to 10 users.
No. FieldEdge’s pricing page says it does not offer a free trial because it prefers to walk new customers through a guided onboarding. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature on the plan you choose.
We found no native AI call answering in FieldEdge’s published features. Third-party AI receptionists connect to FieldEdge through its API — for example, AutoRev lists plans starting at $129 per month. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team is available on every plan: it answers 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam, and sends call summaries. It runs on IQ Credits — 125 IQ Credits per minute of AI-answered call — and Elite bundles 5,000 IQ Credits per month shared across all AI features. Pay-as-you-go usage pricing is $1.25 per minute.
Yes. FieldEdge has a native Online Booking feature — an embeddable portal where customers request appointments — and its Elite plan includes a Consumer Management Portal. Customer online booking is not a differentiator between the two platforms. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule (Elite and above) books customers onto your live calendar 24/7, and InstaQuote lets them build their own quote first — the piece we could not confirm in FieldEdge.
FieldEdge’s dispatch board shows jobs and technician locations on a map, and reviewers describe GPS technician tracking. We could not confirm an automated multi-stop route optimization engine in its published features — ask FieldEdge directly. QuoteIQ Route Optimization and Route Density Zones are included on Elite and above; route optimization is metered per resolved leg on IQ Credits.
We found no native satellite measurement tool in FieldEdge’s published features and no measurement partner among the integrations we reviewed. If your quotes depend on building perimeter or discharge-line runs, ask FieldEdge to confirm in writing. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro is included from the Beginner plan ($74.99/month) and on Elite; AI AutoMeasure runs on IQ Credits at 100 per completed measurement.
FieldEdge lists FleetSharp for vehicle GPS and Podium and pulseM for review requests, but none of that pricing is published — request written quotes and add them to your monthly total. QuoteIQ Elite includes live GPS tracking through EmployeeHub and automated review requests through Review Multiplier at no add-on cost.
Yes, and this is a genuine FieldEdge advantage. FieldEdge integrates with QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online only, on Pro and above. If your accountant requires Desktop, weigh that honestly before switching.
Yes. Recurring jobs and invoice subscriptions (recurring service plans) are available on every QuoteIQ plan, so you can bill an annual pump inspection or battery backup check on a schedule and set up the recurring visits. FieldEdge’s service agreements with renewal tracking are also strong — this is parity, not a gap.
Yes, with one honest difference. FieldEdge ships a flat-rate pricebook pre-loaded with thousands of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical parts. In QuoteIQ you build your own Price Book — pump tiers, battery backups, check valves, pit and basin installs — then present Good/Better/Best Options Estimates to the homeowner. Setup typically takes an afternoon.
Export your customer records, job history, and equipment logs from FieldEdge’s admin panel as CSV files, then upload them to QuoteIQ’s Imports Hub. The AI-assisted import gives you reviewable column mapping, a preview, and duplicate flagging. Third-party reports say FieldEdge’s exports need a few hours of cleanup. A Done-For-You setup ($299.99) is available if you’d rather hand it off.
Before storm and spring-runoff season, not during it. Call volume, dispatch pressure, and review opportunities all peak when it rains, so use the off-season to import data, build your price book, and set up your AI call-answering script — then test everything on a few trial jobs.
At commonly reported FieldEdge rates, a 7-person crew pays about $825/month before add-ons and roughly $954+/month with third-party AI call answering, plus a reported $500–$2,000 setup fee. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month, so the gap is about $655/month — roughly $7,860/year — on the numbers we could verify. FieldEdge pricing is quote-only, so your actual figure may differ; get a written quote to compare.
AI call answering, route optimization, satellite measurement, live GPS, automated review requests, customer self-quoting, and inventory — all on QuoteIQ Elite for a published $299/month. Up to 10 users, no per-seat fees, one login.
