ServiceTitan runs $245–$500 per technician, per month — on top of a 12+ month contract and a $5,000–$50,000+ implementation fee before you’ve quoted a single bathroom. There’s no photo-based estimating, no satellite measurement, and no free trial to test any of it first. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month flat, no per-tech math, no contract, everything included.
Bathroom remodeling is a different animal from one-call HVAC service work. A single tub-to-shower conversion, a full gut-and-rebuild, or a walk-in shower installation can run two to six weeks, touch four or five trades, and involve dozens of line items — tile, vanity, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing membrane, electrical, fixtures — before a single invoice goes out. Most remodeling companies start on paper estimates and a shared calendar. That works until the third crew gets added and nobody can tell which job is profitable anymore.
That’s the moment owners start shopping for software, and ServiceTitan’s name comes up constantly — it dominates HVAC and plumbing marketing. But ServiceTitan was built for 20+ technician service companies running dispatch-heavy call volume, not for a 4-to-12-person remodeling crew running project-based jobs. ServiceTitan has said directly that its platform isn’t optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians, and the per-technician pricing model means the bill climbs every time you hire — whether that new hire is a lead installer or an apprentice tile setter who mostly assists.
A bathroom remodeling CRM built for project-based trades needs accurate photo-based estimating for tile and fixture takeoffs, before/after visuals that close design-build sales, job costing that tracks material and labor against a multi-week project (not a single visit), and a price that doesn’t multiply every time you add a helper. That’s the gap ServiceTitan leaves for remodelers, and it’s the gap this page is about.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing — every number below is compiled from G2, Capterra, and BBB filings, not ServiceTitan’s own site. Treat it as a planning range, not a quote.
Even at the low end, ServiceTitan can’t do this at any price: photo-based AI estimating and before/after AI photo generation don’t exist natively or via any ServiceTitan integration. There’s no marketplace add-on that fills either gap.
A 6-technician remodeling crew on ServiceTitan Essentials with the add-ons needed to compete lands around $3,100–$4,900+ a month, plus a one-time implementation fee that can run into the tens of thousands — before the contract’s 12-month minimum term even starts. QuoteIQ Elite is $299 a month flat, with photo-based estimating, before/after AI photos, and project-based job costing built in, and no setup fee to get started.

A 90-second look at the platform bathroom remodelers are switching to.
"Invested significant time in setup and learning" before seeing value.

Echevarria Roney · App Store"This app is intuitive, stable, and perfect for small business owners managing multiple service appointments."
Bancroft Bryson · App StoreMike has worked directly with remodeling and construction contractors on pricing structure and project-based job costing — the exact gap that trips up service-call software like ServiceTitan when it's applied to multi-week bathroom projects.
Justin focuses on the operational side of QuoteIQ — making sure features like AI Estimator and Before/After AI actually hold up in the field, not just in a sales demo.
The bottom line: The only reasons to stay are QuickBooks Desktop and enterprise-scale dispatch needs. That is a fit decision for large operations, not a product win for a 4-to-12 person bathroom remodeling crew.
ServiceTitan doesn't publish pricing. Third-party reports from G2, Capterra, and BBB filings put it at roughly $245–$500 per technician per month, plus a one-time implementation fee that commonly runs $5,000–$50,000+. For a 6-technician crew, that's an estimated $3,100–$4,900+ a month before setup costs.
No. There's no AI photo-to-estimate feature native to ServiceTitan and no marketplace integration that adds one. QuoteIQ's AI Estimator is included on every plan.
No, and there's no third-party integration that fills this gap either. It doesn't exist at any price on ServiceTitan. QuoteIQ includes a Before & After AI Photo Generator on every plan.
ServiceTitan's tiered proposal option is called Pricebook Pro, a paid add-on estimated at $200–$500+/mo on top of the base per-technician subscription. QuoteIQ includes Options Estimates on every plan at no extra cost.
No. ServiceTitan requires a sales call and does not offer a free trial. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on every plan.
