FieldPulse hides its pricing behind a sales call, charges $30/vehicle/month for GPS tracking, and has no satellite property measurement at any price. QuoteIQ Elite includes everything — measurement, route optimization, GPS, AI tools — for $249.99/mo flat.
Landscaping companies operate differently than the general contracting shops FieldPulse was designed for. You run route-based daily schedules with recurring mowing clients, seasonal planting and mulch installs, hardscape builds that need precise square footage measurements, and spring and fall cleanup routes that change weekly. FieldPulse does not have satellite property measurement, does not include route optimization, and does not offer customer self-scheduling. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the grounds maintenance industry continues to grow steadily — and the businesses winning are the ones using software built for their workflow.
QuoteIQ was built by contractors Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers specifically for field service businesses like landscaping companies. MapMeasure Pro lets you measure lawn areas, garden beds, mulch zones, and hardscape footprints from satellite imagery without driving to the property. Route optimization organizes your crew stops by geography so you cut drive time between weekly mowing accounts. InstaSchedule lets customers book their own lawn care, planting, or seasonal cleanup appointments 24/7 — no phone tag.
Professional organizations like the National Association of Landscape Professionals emphasize that technology adoption is a key differentiator for growing landscape businesses. This guide shows what a real landscaping operation actually pays when FieldPulse’s hidden add-ons are stacked up — and what QuoteIQ Elite includes for a single transparent price.
FieldPulse does not publish pricing — you must contact sales for a quote. Based on third-party reports and user data (Capterra, G2, Software Advice), here is what a 5–7 person landscaping crew typically pays once add-ons are included.
+ undisclosed add-on fees for Engage + Operator AI
Features FieldPulse cannot add at any price: Satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro), route optimization, customer self-quoting (InstaQuote), customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), AI natural language CRM control (AI Autopilot with 35 integrated tools), and automated review requests (Review Multiplier).
A landscaping company on FieldPulse with 3 trucks and basic add-ons pays an estimated $356–$595+/mo (before undisclosed Engage and Operator AI fees) — and still has no satellite measurement, no route optimization, no self-scheduling, and no automated reviews. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/mo with every one of those features included. That is a minimum savings of $106–$345+/mo ($1,272–$4,140+/year).

| ⚠ FieldPulse pricing is not publicly published. Costs shown are based on user-reported data from Capterra, G2, and Software Advice as of early 2026. FieldPulse’s genuine strengths include custom multi-stage job workflows and per-property asset tracking — features useful for complex commercial landscape projects. | ||
No honest comparison ignores the other side. FieldPulse has genuine advantages in specific areas, and landscaping companies doing complex commercial projects should weigh these carefully.
Custom multi-stage job workflows. FieldPulse lets you build multi-step project workflows (design → proposal → materials → install → punch list → invoice) that mirror how complex commercial landscape builds actually move through stages. This is a genuine workflow advantage for companies running multi-day hardscape or design-build projects.
Per-property asset tracking. FieldPulse tracks equipment and assets tied to specific properties — useful for commercial landscaping contracts where you need to know which irrigation controller, backflow preventer, or lighting transformer is installed at which property. QuoteIQ does not have per-property asset tracking at this level of granularity.
CompanyCam integration. FieldPulse integrates with CompanyCam for geotagged photo documentation synced directly to job records. Landscape companies that already use CompanyCam get seamless photo workflows. QuoteIQ has its own QuoteIQ Cam with before/after AI generation built in, but it is a different tool — not a CompanyCam replacement.
AI dashcam with driver scoring. FieldPulse’s fleet tracking add-on ($30/vehicle/mo) includes AI dashcam integration via Surfsight with driver performance scoring for speeding, hard braking, and distracted driving — a safety feature QuoteIQ’s software-based GPS does not include.
FieldPulse’s workflow customization is real. If your landscaping company runs complex design-build projects with multi-stage approvals, FieldPulse’s job workflow engine has genuine depth. But if your operation is primarily weekly mowing routes, seasonal cleanups, and residential installs — the 80% of what most landscaping companies actually do — QuoteIQ delivers more value for less money.
Most landscaping companies are fully running on QuoteIQ within 48 hours. No contracts to cancel, no data loss, no downtime between mowing routes.
Pick any plan. 14 days free. A credit or debit card is required to start. Cancel anytime — no contracts.
Export your clients, jobs, and invoices from FieldPulse as a CSV. Upload into QuoteIQ using AI Smart Import — automatic field mapping, no manual re-entry. Or use the $299 Done-For-You onboarding service.
Add your services — weekly mowing, mulch installation, spring/fall cleanup, hedge trimming, planting, sod installation, hardscape builds, grading, and drainage — at your rates. Use Options Estimates to let clients choose between service tiers.
Use MapMeasure Pro to measure lawn areas, garden beds, and hardscape zones from satellite. Set up your weekly mowing routes with Route Optimization and organize stops by geography.
Send your first estimate, schedule your first mowing route, and let Review Multiplier start building your 5-star reputation. Your savings start on day one — no add-on fees, no per-vehicle charges, no hidden costs.
“They do not tell you that you need to buy add-ons for the software to work correctly. You cannot call a customer, text a customer or even email a customer in the usual manner. You need to buy an upgrade which is another thousand plus dollars.”
— Jason Z. · Owner, Construction Hidden add-on costs“They say they’re all customer satisfaction and 100 percent guarantee that their system will meet our needs when in fact once it did not meet our needs within the first week of fully using it they’re like sorry you’re under contract now.”
— Trevor W. · Business Manager, Construction Contract lock-in“The permission settings are far too restrictive, lacking the granularity to allow Team Managers to create forms, while the Operator AI has proven less accurate than advertised. Most critically, the Engage tool feels unstable and limited.”
— Stanley · Office and Accounting Manager Restrictive permissions & unstable tools“The best app for landscape there is nobody compares not price not even software just need to add route planning unless I haven’t found it yet.”

Mike Vidan started in the field service industry as a pressure washing contractor and grew a multi-trade operation from the ground up. He built QuoteIQ because the software available to landscaping companies, painters, and other trades was either too expensive, too complicated, or missing the features crews actually need in the field. His YouTube channel Forever Self Employed documents the real challenges of running a service business — the same challenges QuoteIQ was designed to solve for landscaping companies managing mowing routes, seasonal installs, and client growth.
Justin Rogers brings the operational expertise that makes QuoteIQ work for real service businesses. His focus on support infrastructure ensures that every landscaping company switching from FieldPulse gets under-15-minute response times, guided onboarding, and a team that understands what it means to run daily mowing routes while trying to grow into hardscape installs and commercial maintenance contracts.
You run complex design-build projects with multi-stage workflows. If your landscaping company primarily does large commercial landscape construction with multi-week timelines, subcontractor coordination, and detailed stage-by-stage approvals, FieldPulse’s custom workflow engine has genuine depth here. This is a real product advantage, not a marketing claim.
You need per-property asset tracking with hardware integration. If you manage hundreds of commercial properties and need to track specific irrigation controllers, lighting transformers, or equipment per location with integrated AI dashcam data, FieldPulse’s asset tracking + fleet management combination provides a level of hardware integration QuoteIQ does not replicate.
For the vast majority of landscaping companies running weekly mowing routes, seasonal cleanups, residential planting, mulch installs, and basic hardscape jobs — QuoteIQ Elite at $249.99/mo delivers satellite measurement, route optimization, customer self-scheduling, automated reviews, and AI tools that FieldPulse cannot match at any price.
How much does FieldPulse actually cost for a landscaping company?
FieldPulse does not publish pricing. Based on user-reported data from Capterra and G2, a 5–7 person team typically pays $199–$250/mo for the base plan alone. Add GPS fleet tracking ($30/vehicle/mo), the Engage VoIP phone system (undisclosed pricing), and Operator AI (undisclosed pricing), and total costs can reach $400–$600+/mo — before external tools like GoiLawn for satellite measurement. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/mo with everything included.
Does FieldPulse have satellite property measurement for measuring lawns?
No. FieldPulse has no satellite property measurement feature — native or via integration. To measure lawns, garden beds, and hardscape areas remotely, you would need a separate GoiLawn subscription ($67–$255/mo). QuoteIQ includes MapMeasure Pro starting on the Beginner plan ($74.99/mo), letting you measure any property from satellite imagery.
Does FieldPulse include route optimization for daily mowing routes?
No. FieldPulse does not offer route optimization at any price. There is no native feature and no confirmed third-party integration for optimizing daily stop sequences. QuoteIQ includes route optimization on Elite and above, organizing your 15+ daily stops by geography to cut drive time and fuel costs between accounts.
Can landscaping customers book their own appointments on FieldPulse?
FieldPulse has a basic booking portal, but it does not provide true 24/7 customer self-scheduling against your live calendar. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule lets customers book mowing, planting, cleanup, and other landscaping services directly against your availability — no phone calls, no back-and-forth.
How much does FieldPulse charge for GPS fleet tracking?
FieldPulse charges $30 per vehicle per month for fleet tracking via Azuga integration. A 3-truck landscaping operation pays $90/mo just for GPS. A 5-truck operation pays $150/mo. QuoteIQ Elite includes real-time GPS tracking for all employees through EmployeeHub — no per-vehicle fee, no hardware required.
Does FieldPulse have automated review requests?
No. FieldPulse does not have a built-in automated review request system. You would need to use an external tool or manually request reviews after each job. QuoteIQ’s Review Multiplier automatically sends review requests to your Google Business Profile after every completed job, starting on the Beginner plan.
Why doesn’t FieldPulse publish their pricing?
FieldPulse uses a contact-for-quote sales model. You must start a free trial or speak to a sales representative to get pricing. Multiple Capterra and Software Advice reviewers cite this as a pain point, noting that the lack of transparency makes it difficult to comparison shop. QuoteIQ publishes all pricing on its website — every plan, every feature, every price.
Can I import my FieldPulse data into QuoteIQ?
Yes. Export your clients, jobs, and invoices from FieldPulse as a CSV file. Upload it into QuoteIQ using AI Smart Import, which automatically maps your fields — no manual data entry. You can also use the $299 Done-For-You onboarding service, which includes contact import, price book setup, and a 1-on-1 onboarding session with the QuoteIQ team.
Does QuoteIQ work for landscaping companies that do both maintenance and installs?
Yes. QuoteIQ handles both recurring maintenance routes (weekly mowing, fertilization schedules) and one-time install projects (planting, mulching, hardscape, drainage). Use Route Optimization for your recurring stops and standard scheduling for project-based installs. Options Estimates let clients choose between service packages — basic mow vs. mow + edge + blow vs. full-service maintenance.
What does QuoteIQ cost for a landscaping company?
QuoteIQ has five plans: Essentials at $29.99/mo (1 user), Beginner at $74.99/mo (2 users), Pro at $149.99/mo (4 users), Elite at $249.99/mo (7 users), and Max at $399.99/mo (unlimited users). Elite is the comparison hero for landscaping companies because it includes MapMeasure Pro, Route Optimization, GPS tracking, InstaSchedule, InstaQuote, Review Multiplier, and all AI tools. According to U.S. Small Business Administration resources, managing operational costs is critical for growing service businesses.
Is QuoteIQ safe to use around clients and their properties?
QuoteIQ is a software platform, not a chemical or equipment product. However, if you handle pesticide applications as part of your landscaping services, make sure your operations comply with EPA pesticide application requirements and state licensing. QuoteIQ helps you document compliance with job photos via QuoteIQ Cam and maintain detailed service records in your customer profiles.
Does FieldPulse have good QuickBooks integration?
FieldPulse’s QuickBooks Online integration works reliably for most users. However, QuickBooks Desktop integration is a known pain point — multiple Capterra and G2 reviewers cite duplicate entries, sync failures, and required manual intervention as their top frustration with FieldPulse. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on Pro and above, focusing on reliable one-way sync.
Satellite property measurement. Route optimization. Customer self-scheduling. Automated reviews. AI tools. GPS tracking. Business phone. All included on QuoteIQ Elite at $249.99/mo.
