ServiceTitan charges an estimated $1,750–$4,550+ per month for a 5-technician fencing crew, locks you into 12+ month contracts, and bills $5,000–$50,000+ for implementation before you install a single post. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/month. Every feature included. No contract. Cancel anytime.
ServiceTitan built its reputation in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — high-ticket, emergency-driven trades with call centers and dispatch boards managing 20+ technicians. A fencing company runs differently. You are quoting wood privacy fences, vinyl panel installs, chain link perimeter runs, ornamental iron gates, split rail borders, and post replacements — jobs that depend on linear footage, material takeoffs, and accurate property measurement before you ever drive to the site.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing. Users on G2, Capterra, and BBB report per-technician fees ranging from $245 to $500+ per month, with mandatory 12-month contracts, early termination fees of $5,000–$20,000+, and implementation costs starting at $5,000 and climbing past $50,000 for larger operations. ServiceTitan’s own BBB response states the platform is “not optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians.” The U.S. Small Business Administration reports that the vast majority of contractor businesses operate with fewer than 10 employees — which means most fencing companies are paying enterprise prices for a platform that was not designed for their crew size or trade.
This guide does not argue ServiceTitan is bad software. It shows what a real fencing operation actually pays — and what QuoteIQ Elite delivers for a fraction of that cost, with tools specifically useful for measuring fence lines, quoting materials, and managing installation crews without a single add-on or long-term commitment.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing publicly. These figures are compiled from user reports on G2, Capterra, and BBB as of March 2026. All ServiceTitan costs below are estimates and should be treated as unverified.

Honesty matters. ServiceTitan has genuine strengths, and pretending otherwise helps no one. Here is where their platform has the edge.
Enterprise dispatching and reporting. ServiceTitan has the most powerful dispatch board and reporting engine in the industry. If you operate 20+ technicians and need multi-location management with advanced KPI dashboards, ServiceTitan is built for that scale.
QuickBooks Desktop support. ServiceTitan integrates with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. If your fencing business runs on Desktop and cannot migrate, this is a meaningful gap.
Call tracking and marketing attribution. ServiceTitan’s Marketing Pro module tracks which advertising channels generate calls and ties revenue back to specific campaigns. This is a powerful analytics layer for large operations spending heavily on paid advertising.
Long track record in home services. ServiceTitan has been operating since 2012 and has deep expertise in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations. Their support infrastructure for those verticals is well-established.
ServiceTitan is purpose-built for large, enterprise-scale HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations with 20+ technicians. Its dispatching, reporting, and marketing attribution are best-in-class for that segment. For fencing companies with 1–15 employees, those enterprise features come with enterprise pricing, long contracts, and tools that were never designed for measuring fence lines or quoting material takeoffs.
Upload a photo. AI analyzes surface type, condition, and scope, then generates a market-accurate estimate for your local area. What used to take 20–30 minutes now takes under 5. Built-in upsell recommendations included.

Mike built QuoteIQ because he lived the pain of enterprise software pricing on a small business budget — and understood that fencing contractors, like pressure washers and roofers, need tools that work in the field, not just in a corporate demo.

ServiceTitan is not the wrong choice for everyone. Here are the scenarios where staying makes sense.
You run a 20+ technician operation across multiple locations. ServiceTitan’s enterprise dispatching, multi-location management, and advanced reporting dashboards are genuinely best-in-class for large-scale operations.
You depend on Marketing Pro for campaign attribution. ServiceTitan’s ability to track which advertising channels generate which calls and tie revenue back to specific campaigns is a powerful analytics layer that QuoteIQ does not currently replicate at the same depth.
The bottom line: The only reasons to stay on ServiceTitan are enterprise scale and marketing attribution depth. For fencing companies with 1–15 employees, those features do not justify $2,750–$4,550+ per month, 12-month contracts, and $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation fees. That is an enterprise tax on a trade business.
Yes. QuoteIQ Elite includes satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro), AI estimating, customer self-quoting (InstaQuote), customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), route optimization, GPS tracking, inventory management, and AI Autopilot — all for $249.99/month. ServiceTitan does not offer satellite measurement, self-quoting, or self-scheduling at any price, and their estimated monthly cost for a 5-tech team starts at $2,750/month before add-on modules.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing. Based on user reports from G2, Capterra, and BBB, per-technician costs range from $245–$500+/month. A 5-technician fencing crew on the Essentials tier would pay an estimated $1,750/month for the base subscription alone. Adding Marketing Pro ($500–$1,500/mo), Phones Pro ($300–$800/mo), and Pricebook Pro ($200–$500/mo) brings the estimated total to $2,750–$4,550+/month. Implementation fees range from $5,000–$50,000+. All ServiceTitan pricing cited here is unverified and user-reported.
Yes. ServiceTitan requires a minimum 12-month contract commitment. Early termination fees range from $5,000–$20,000+ according to user reports. QuoteIQ is month-to-month with no contract and no termination fees.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro lets you measure linear footage from satellite view — fence perimeters, lot boundaries, and property lines. You can quote wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron fences without driving to the property. Measurements push directly into your estimate. ServiceTitan has no equivalent tool.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s Inventory Management (Elite and above) lets you track posts, panels, rails, concrete, brackets, hinges, and hardware by job. You can set reorder thresholds, monitor usage per project, and see real-time stock levels. ServiceTitan also includes inventory management, but at significantly higher per-technician pricing.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s InstaQuote (Elite and above) lets homeowners select fence type, height, material, and approximate footage on your website and receive an instant estimate — 24/7, even when your office is closed. ServiceTitan does not have a customer self-quoting feature.
No. ServiceTitan was built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations. Their own BBB response states the platform is “not optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians.” Fencing companies operate differently — linear footage measurement, material takeoffs, multi-day installations, and seasonal demand cycles are not part of ServiceTitan’s core design. QuoteIQ was built by contractors for 50+ trades including fence repair and installation.
Export your contacts from ServiceTitan as a CSV file. Upload to QuoteIQ and AI Smart Import automatically maps your columns to QuoteIQ fields — names, addresses, phone numbers, and job history. Most fencing companies complete the migration in under an hour. A $299 Done-For-You onboarding option is also available.
Yes — QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on the Pro plan and above. Invoices and payments sync automatically. QuoteIQ does not currently support QuickBooks Desktop. ServiceTitan supports both QuickBooks Online and Desktop.
AI Autopilot is a natural language CRM control system that lets you manage 35 integrated tools with voice or text commands. Type “Create an estimate for a 150-foot cedar privacy fence for the Martinez property at $32/linear foot” and the estimate is built instantly. ServiceTitan does not offer AI natural language CRM control.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on all plans. ServiceTitan does not offer a free trial — you must commit to a 12+ month contract and pay implementation fees before using any features.
A 5-technician fencing operation on ServiceTitan Essentials with add-on modules pays an estimated $2,750–$4,550+/month, plus $5,000–$50,000+ in one-time implementation. Year 1 total: $50,000–$70,000+. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/month with no contract, no implementation fee, and no per-technician billing. Year 1 total: $2,999.88. That is an 86–96% cost reduction.
