ServiceTitan won’t publish a price — user-reported rates run $245–$500+ per technician per month, plus a $5,000–$50,000+ implementation fee and a 12-month contract. An 8-tech foundation repair crew can land at $50,000–$70,000+ in Year 1 before a single warranty claim is filed. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month, flat, no matter how many piers you install this month.
ServiceTitan has real enterprise depth, and it shows in the sales process: no published pricing, a mandatory sales demo, and a 12-month contract before you’ve seen a single invoice go out the door. For a foundation repair company quoting pier and beam repairs, slab jacking, crack injection, French drain installs, wall anchor systems, sump pump replacements, and egress window wells, that sales-call-required pricing model means you don’t even know your monthly cost until you’re already deep in the onboarding conversation.
ServiceTitan itself has publicly stated its platform is “not optimized for a company with 3 or fewer technicians” — it’s built for large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations at $2M+ revenue with 10+ techs, deep membership programs, and dedicated marketing attribution teams. Most foundation repair companies are running 3–15 technicians, quoting structural jobs that require accurate measurement of foundation perimeter, crawl space square footage, and settlement severity — not enterprise call-center dispatch. You end up paying for modules built for a business three times your size.
This guide doesn’t argue ServiceTitan is a bad platform — it’s genuinely powerful for the market it targets. It shows what a growing foundation repair company actually pays to get in the door, what gets left on the table, and what QuoteIQ Elite includes natively for a fraction of the Year 1 cost.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing — every figure below is compiled from user reports on G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Reddit, and BBB filings, and is marked accordingly. Compare against QuoteIQ Elite’s published, flat monthly rate.
Includes implementation + Year 1 subscription + add-ons [estimate, unverified]
What ServiceTitan can’t add at any price: AI Estimator (photo-based estimating) has no ServiceTitan equivalent — their AI capabilities are focused on enterprise reporting, not photo-to-quote generation. Satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro) is also unavailable. Both are native to QuoteIQ on every plan.
An 8-tech foundation repair company matching core ServiceTitan functionality — subscription, implementation, marketing attribution, dispatch, and tiered pricebooks — lands at $50,000–$70,000+ in Year 1 [unverified, user-reported figures], locked into a 12-month contract, with no free trial to test it first. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month, month-to-month, $3,588/year — and includes AI tools ServiceTitan doesn’t offer at any price.

QuoteIQ Elite wins on transparent pricing, a free trial, no contract, and AI tools ServiceTitan doesn’t offer at any price (AI Estimator, AI Autopilot, MapMeasure Pro, Before/After AI). ServiceTitan’s genuine strengths — enterprise dispatch, marketing attribution, and multi-location support — matter most to operations at 20+ technicians. For an 8-tech foundation repair company, QuoteIQ Elite delivers the core workflow plus modern AI tools without the implementation fee or annual contract.
Being transparent: ServiceTitan has real strengths for the market it’s built for. Here’s the honest case.
Enterprise-grade dispatch, reporting, and marketing attribution — this is a genuine product advantage, not just brand recognition. ServiceTitan’s technician performance reporting, revenue-by-department breakdowns, and marketing ROI attribution are built for multi-location operations with dedicated office staff to run them. If your foundation repair company operates 20+ technicians across multiple regions, this depth is real and QuoteIQ does not target that scale.
QuickBooks Desktop support alongside Online — a real feature gap. ServiceTitan supports both QuickBooks Online and Desktop. QuoteIQ currently syncs with QuickBooks Online only. If your accounting team is committed to Desktop, that’s a legitimate reason ServiceTitan (or another Desktop-compatible tool) may fit better.
A full walkthrough of the platform — estimating, scheduling, invoicing, and the AI tools foundation repair companies use every day.
No 3–6 month implementation window. Most foundation repair companies complete the switch in an afternoon.
Go to admin-quoteiq.web.app/register and pick the plan that fits your crew size. All plans include 14 days of full access to every feature on that tier — no sales call required.
Export your customer and job history list as a CSV from ServiceTitan’s reporting tools. You only need names, addresses, phones, and emails to get started.
Upload your CSV to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI reads your column headers and maps every customer field automatically — no manual matching. A $299 Done-For-You migration is also available.
Add push piers, helical piers, slab jacking/mudjacking, crack injection, wall anchor systems, French drain installation, sump pump replacement, and egress window wells — with your rates by job type and linear or square footage.
Open MapMeasure Pro to trace the foundation perimeter from satellite, or use AI Estimator with a photo of the crack or settlement point. QuoteIQ builds the estimate from your price book automatically.

kai jong6 · App StoreQuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — both of whom ran home service businesses before building software to solve the problems they faced firsthand.
Mike built and scaled a home service business before co-founding QuoteIQ. He knows the operational reality of quoting structural jobs from the field, managing crews on tight schedules, and the frustration of software priced for a company ten times your size. 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 either overpay for enterprise software or 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, and it’s a more substantial case than most competitor comparisons get to make.
You’re running 20+ technicians across multiple locations and need enterprise reporting. ServiceTitan’s technician performance analytics, revenue-by-department breakdowns, and marketing attribution are genuinely built for that scale. If you have dedicated office staff to run Marketing Pro and Phones Pro, and the budget to absorb a 12-month contract and implementation fee, ServiceTitan’s depth is real.
Your accounting team requires QuickBooks Desktop. ServiceTitan supports both Desktop and Online sync. QuoteIQ currently supports QuickBooks Online only. If Desktop compatibility is a hard requirement for your bookkeeping process, that’s a legitimate reason to stay.
The honest bottom line: If you’re at enterprise scale with the office staff to run ServiceTitan’s add-on modules, or QuickBooks Desktop is non-negotiable, ServiceTitan is a reasonable choice. For the 3–15 technician foundation repair company that wants transparent pricing, a free trial, no contract, and modern AI estimating tools, QuoteIQ Elite delivers more for a fraction of the Year 1 cost.
For most foundation repair companies under 15 technicians, yes. QuoteIQ Elite includes satellite property measurement, AI photo-based estimating, natural language CRM control, and customer self-quoting — none of which ServiceTitan offers at any price — for a published $299/month with no contract. ServiceTitan’s genuine strengths (enterprise dispatch, marketing attribution, multi-location support) matter most at 20+ technicians. ServiceTitan has itself stated its platform is “not optimized for a company with 3 or fewer technicians.”
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing — every figure is compiled from user reports on G2, Capterra, and BBB filings and should be treated as unverified. Reported per-technician rates range from roughly $245/tech/month (Starter) to $500+/tech/month (The Works). For an 8-tech team on the Essentials tier, that’s an estimated $1,960–$2,400/month in subscription alone, plus a $5,000–$50,000+ one-time implementation fee and a mandatory 12-month contract. QuoteIQ Elite is a published, flat $299/month regardless of technician count.
No. ServiceTitan requires a sales demo and custom quote before you can access the platform, and every plan requires a 12+ month annual contract. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full feature access on every plan — no sales call required to start.
There isn’t a way to add it. ServiceTitan has no satellite measurement tool and no known integration for it in the field service management space. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro is built in natively on Beginner plans and above, letting you trace foundation perimeter, crawl space footprint, and site access from a satellite image before you drive out.
Not in the way AI Estimator works. ServiceTitan’s AI capabilities are focused on enterprise reporting and analytics — technician performance, revenue tracking, marketing ROI — not photo-to-quote estimate generation. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator analyzes a photo of a crack or settlement point, asks targeted follow-up questions, and generates a market-accurate estimate in minutes. This is included on all QuoteIQ plans via IQ Credits.
User reports compiled from G2, Capterra, and BBB filings put implementation fees at $5,000–$50,000+, with a typical onboarding period of 3–6 months before the platform is fully operational. Early termination fees on the mandatory 12-month contract have been documented in BBB complaints ranging from $5,000 to $20,000+. QuoteIQ has zero required implementation fee — an optional $299 Done-For-You migration is available if you want white-glove setup.
Not natively, and there’s no confirmed integration path for either at any tier. QuoteIQ includes InstaQuote (customer self-quoting, useful for smaller jobs like crack repair or sump pump replacement) and InstaSchedule (true 24/7 self-booking against a live calendar), both included on Elite plans and above.
Both are separate paid modules on top of the base subscription. Phones Pro (call center integration and advanced dispatch) is reported at roughly $300–$800+/month. Marketing Pro (call tracking and attribution) is reported at roughly $500–$2,000+/month. QuoteIQ includes Virtual Call Team for handling inbound calls via IQ Credits on every plan, with no separate module purchase required.
Yes. Your price book is fully custom — set separate rates for push piers, helical piers, slab jacking/mudjacking, crack injection, wall anchor systems, French drain installation, sump pump replacement, and egress window wells. MapMeasure Pro and AI Estimator both feed measurements and photos directly into that price book to generate estimates.
Export your customer list as a CSV from ServiceTitan’s reporting tools, then upload it to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI reads your column headers and maps name, address, phone, and email fields automatically. A Done-For-You migration service is also available for $299 if you’d rather have it handled for you.
No. QuoteIQ is built for teams of 1–30 people doing $50K–$5M in annual revenue, with no minimum revenue threshold to adopt the platform. It scales from a solo operator up through Elite and Max plans as you add technicians. If you eventually grow past 20+ technicians with multi-location, franchise-level needs, that’s the point where ServiceTitan’s enterprise depth becomes more relevant.
Two genuine scenarios: you’re running 20+ technicians across multiple locations and actively using ServiceTitan’s enterprise reporting and marketing attribution tools, or your accounting team requires QuickBooks Desktop sync (ServiceTitan supports both Desktop and Online; QuoteIQ currently supports Online only). Outside of those two cases, most foundation repair companies under 15 technicians get more value from QuoteIQ Elite’s transparent pricing and included AI tools.
Satellite measurement, AI photo estimating, customer self-quoting, live GPS, and a Virtual Call Team — all in one platform, starting at $29.99/month.
