FieldPulse doesn’t publish pricing — you sit through a sales call to find out. Engage VoIP, Operator AI, Sales Suite, Fleet Tracking, and the Pricebook are all add-ons priced separately on top of the per-user base. For a 7-person garage door crew the real monthly bill lands in the $795–$950+ range before custom-priced add-ons. QuoteIQ Elite is $299. Everything included. One login.
A note on pricing transparency. FieldPulse does not publish pricing on its website. All FieldPulse dollar figures on this page are based on third-party research — Capterra, G2, Softabase, FieldCamp, and Tooled Up Pro — plus official FieldPulse documentation on which features are sold as add-ons. Every FieldPulse number is flagged in the tables. For an exact FieldPulse quote, contact their sales team directly. QuoteIQ pricing is published in full at myquoteiq.com/pricing.
FieldPulse is a genuine mid-market platform with a garage door vertical and a loyal support base. For basic scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing it holds its own. The problem starts when a garage door business tries to run the way garage door businesses actually run — answering 2 a.m. broken-spring calls, letting homeowners book 24/7 without waiting for the office to open, routing three trucks through overlapping same-day service areas, quoting torsion spring replacements, opener installs, panel swaps, cable repairs, and weather-seal jobs with consistent flat-rate pricing, and keeping commercial overhead-door projects moving through a pipeline.
Most of that requires an add-on or an integration on FieldPulse. Engage VoIP (the dedicated business phone) is a separate line item. Operator AI (the 24/7 dispatcher for after-hours emergency calls) is a separate line item. Fleet Tracking is $30 per vehicle per month. The Sales Suite is a separate line item. The Pricebook is a separate line item. Review automation runs through NiceJob, a third-party subscription. And the one thing that matters most for emergency-driven garage door work — true customer self-scheduling against a live technician calendar, 24/7, with no phone tag — isn’t there at the level a busy garage door operator actually needs.
This guide isn’t an argument that FieldPulse is a bad product. It’s a straight comparison of what a real garage door operation pays when every capability is added up — and what QuoteIQ Elite includes natively for $299 a month on a single plan.
FieldPulse doesn’t publish pricing, so every dollar figure below is research-sourced from Capterra, G2, Softabase, FieldCamp, and Tooled Up Pro. Where a figure is custom-quoted and undisclosed, we say so. Fleet Tracking is the one number FieldPulse publishes officially.
Every FieldPulse figure on this page is research-sourced. FieldPulse requires a sales call to provide pricing. For an exact quote call FieldPulse directly at 855-981-7900. QuoteIQ pricing is published in full at myquoteiq.com/pricing.
+ Engage VoIP, Operator AI, Sales Suite, Pricebook, PDF forms (all custom-quoted)
No setup fees. No per-vehicle fees. No add-ons.
What FieldPulse cannot add at any price: a native AI natural language CRM control layer (QuoteIQ’s AI Autopilot) and a native before/after AI photo generator. There is no FieldPulse add-on, integration, or partner app that replicates either one. For a garage door shop that wants to run the business by voice and close jobs with visual proof, those two gaps stay gaps.
~$795/mo confirmed on FieldPulse — more once Engage, Operator AI, Sales Suite, Pricebook, and PDF Forms are quoted. $299/mo on QuoteIQ Elite. Same 7 users. One login. No sales call required to find out what it costs.
Feature-by-feature, using official FieldPulse add-on documentation and the best third-party pricing research available. QuoteIQ Elite is the comparison point because it’s the tier that matches what a garage door shop actually runs.

Verified reviews from Capterra and G2. Not cherry-picked marketing quotes.
“FieldPulse is the opposite of opinionated software. They’ve built like five ways to do the same thing, but instead of making one of them work well, they all half-work and are full of bugs… Their pricing strategy is also frustrating. They lock you into the basic plan and then nickel-and-dime you for functionality that should be standard.”
— Verified Reviewer · G2 Add-on cost creep“The engage add on was a complete waste of time and money. I created a phone number and got it set up… 50% of them their phone just hung up and did not ring, including my personal phone. After mulitple attempts they never fixed the issue and tried to deny my request for a refund of engage when I was canceling.”
— Verified Reviewer · G2 Engage VoIP issues“The Quick Books syncing is terrible and is mostly related to QB online but they keep claiming they will make it compatible with QB desktop but have yet to, to my knowledge… Deleting and changing invoices is a pain and when the QB sync screws up with payment it sometimes still says invoiced when it has been paid and there is no way to manually change the status.”
— Verified Reviewer · Capterra QuickBooks sync problemsStraight from the App Store and Google Play. Real reviewer handles. Real platforms.
“From quoting to scheduling to measuring—every tool my service business needs.”
— Echevarria Roney · App Store · Verified Review“InstaQuote and InstaSchedule are a game changer for any business that is serious about scaling to the next level!”
— Mavidan · App Store · Verified Review“This app is intuitive, stable, and perfect for small business owners managing multiple service appointments.”
— Bancroft Bryson · App Store · Verified ReviewQuoteIQ was built by operators who ran service businesses first. Garage door shops land naturally inside the product’s design because the founders lived the same dispatch, routing, and phone-tag problems garage door operators deal with every day.
Mike Vidan co-founded QuoteIQ after running his own service businesses and hitting the same ceiling every growing contractor hits: software that charges for every feature and integration separately. He designed QuoteIQ as the single platform he wanted when he was in the field — the kind of tool an emergency-driven operation like a garage door shop can actually run on without stacking five subscriptions.
Justin Rogers co-founded QuoteIQ and leads product. He’s the reason features like AI Autopilot, InstaSchedule, and the before/after AI photo generator exist as native capabilities instead of third-party integrations. Justin’s view is that the platform should absorb the complexity a contractor doesn’t want to manage — not pass it along as an add-on line item.
Not every garage door business should switch. Here are the real reasons to keep FieldPulse.
The honest summary: the real reasons to stay are QuickBooks Desktop, ClearPath workflows you’ve built around, or a solo operation that doesn’t need the features a growing shop needs. Anything else is add-on cost creep that compounds every time you scale.
Answers are flat by design — nothing hidden behind accordions.
FieldPulse uses a custom-quote model. Every plan — Essentials, Professional, Enterprise — requires a sales call. Third-party research (Capterra, G2, Softabase, FieldCamp, Tooled Up Pro) places Professional at roughly $90 per user per month, with the real total driven up by add-ons like Engage VoIP, Operator AI, Sales Suite, Fleet Tracking, and the Pricebook. For an exact number, call FieldPulse directly. QuoteIQ pricing is published in full at myquoteiq.com/pricing.
FieldPulse Engage VoIP is listed as an add-on on fieldpulse.com/pricing. The exact monthly cost is not published — it’s custom-quoted. Verified reviews on G2 describe Engage as unreliable in some cases (dropped calls, non-ringing lines). QuoteIQ ClientHub includes a dedicated business phone on Pro and above at published flat pricing, with no separate VoIP subscription.
FieldPulse Fleet Tracking is published officially at $30 per vehicle per month. For a 3-truck garage door fleet that’s $90/mo. For 6 trucks it’s $180/mo. QuoteIQ Elite includes Route Optimization, Route Density Zones, and live GPS tracking for your entire fleet at no per-vehicle fee — all in the $299/mo Elite plan.
FieldPulse has a customer booking portal, but it doesn’t bind directly to a live technician calendar the way true 24/7 self-scheduling needs to. For a garage door shop fielding broken-spring calls at midnight, that difference matters. QuoteIQ InstaSchedule lets a homeowner pick an actual slot on tomorrow morning’s route — included on Elite and above.
No. FieldPulse does not offer a native before/after AI photo generator, and no third-party integration in their marketplace replaces one. For a garage door business selling opener and door upgrades on visual proof, that’s a real capability gap. QuoteIQ includes a before/after AI photo generator on all plans using IQ Credits.
Yes — FieldPulse does support QuickBooks Desktop, and this is a genuine product advantage over QuoteIQ, which syncs with QuickBooks Online only. That said, verified reviews on Capterra note that FieldPulse’s QuickBooks sync has reliability issues, particularly around payment status updates and duplicate entries. If your books live in Desktop and you won’t move them to Online, FieldPulse is the better fit on that single point.
Most garage door operations complete the migration inside 72 hours. The steps are: export customers and jobs from FieldPulse as CSVs, run them through QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import (no manual column matching), build your flat-rate pricebook for spring, opener, panel, cable, roller, and tune-up jobs, turn on InstaSchedule and Virtual Call Team, and onboard your crew through the iOS/Android apps.
Yes — and goes further. FieldPulse Operator AI is an inbound-focused add-on with undisclosed pricing. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team handles both inbound AND outbound at no additional cost on Elite. It answers emergency broken-spring calls at 2 a.m., books the appointment directly into the calendar, and also runs outbound follow-ups for estimates that haven’t closed.
Your data stays yours throughout. FieldPulse lets you export customers, jobs, invoices, and other records. You keep the exports. QuoteIQ imports them through AI Smart Import, which auto-maps fields between the two systems. Your FieldPulse account remains active until you cancel — there’s no forced cutover. Most shops run both in parallel for a week or two to make sure everything landed correctly.
No. FieldPulse does not have a natural language CRM control layer equivalent to AI Autopilot’s 35 tools. There’s no add-on or integration that replicates it. QuoteIQ AI Autopilot lets you run your garage door shop by voice or text — “book Mrs. Henderson for a torsion spring replacement Thursday morning” — and the platform handles the scheduling, pricing, and customer notification automatically.
Both. QuoteIQ Beginner ($74.99/mo for 2 users) fits solo operators and small teams. Elite ($299/mo for 7 users) fits mid-size operations. Max ($699/mo for unlimited users) fits larger multi-crew shops. The per-user math works at every scale because the feature set doesn’t get cut down on smaller plans — you still get MapMeasure Pro, Review Multiplier, and the core CRM on Beginner.
Based on research-sourced pricing, roughly $795 per month in confirmed costs — before the custom-quoted add-ons. That breaks down as: Professional base at ~$630/mo (7 users at ~$90/user), Fleet Tracking for 3 trucks at $90/mo, and NiceJob review automation at ~$75/mo. Engage VoIP, Operator AI, Sales Suite, Pricebook, and PDF Form Filler are all custom-quoted and stack on top. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo total. Same 7 users, everything included.
Dedicated business phone. 24/7 inbound and outbound AI calling. Live-calendar customer self-booking. Route optimization and GPS for every truck. Review automation. Flat-rate pricebook. Before/after AI photos. AI Autopilot. One plan, one login, $299 a month.
