ServiceTitan runs $245–$500 per technician per month, plus $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation fees and a 12+ month contract — before Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, or Pricebook Pro add-ons. A 5-tech restoration crew is looking at $50,000–$70,000+ in year one. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo flat, no contract, tiered mitigation pricing and insurance pipeline tracking included.
ServiceTitan is the enterprise standard for large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operations, and it has a real, verified Xactimate integration through its Verisk partnership. That matters for insurance restoration work. But the platform’s DNA is still recurring service-call dispatching, not the volume-spike, multi-property, insurance-pipeline reality of a storm damage restoration company managing emergency water extractions, wind damage repairs, roof tarping, tree strike cleanups, hail damage assessments, and rebuild coordination across dozens of properties after a single weather event.
The bigger issue for restoration companies under 20 technicians is the business model itself. ServiceTitan prices per technician, requires a 12+ month contract with early termination fees reported at $5,000–$20,000+, and charges $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation before a single estimate goes out. ServiceTitan’s own BBB response states the platform is “not optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians.” Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, and Pricebook Pro (needed for tiered mitigation pricing) all stack on top as separate add-ons.
This guide doesn’t pretend ServiceTitan is the wrong choice for every restoration company — it genuinely fits large, heavy-insurance-volume operations that need Xactimate sync. It shows exactly what a growing restoration company pays to get there, and what QuoteIQ Elite includes natively for a fraction of the cost with no contract.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing — every number below is compiled from G2, Capterra, BBB filings, and third-party pricing analyses as of September 2026, and is marked unverified/user-reported per ServiceTitan’s own no-public-pricing policy.

The one gap QuoteIQ does not close: QuoteIQ has no Xactimate integration. If 60%+ of your revenue is insurance claims and your workflow depends on native two-way Xactimate sync, that is a genuine reason ServiceTitan may fit your operation better — see “Where ServiceTitan Wins” below.
A 5-tech restoration crew on ServiceTitan Essentials pays roughly $50,000–$70,000+ in year one once implementation and required add-ons are included — locked into a 12+ month contract with early termination fees reported at $5,000–$20,000+. QuoteIQ Elite is $3,588 for the year, month-to-month, with tiered mitigation pricing, satellite measurement, equipment inventory, and insurance pipeline tracking already built in.
⚠️ means available via add-on or integration at extra cost. ✗ means genuinely unavailable at any price as of September 2026.

A page that only shows one side isn’t useful to a contractor making a real decision. Here’s the honest case for ServiceTitan — including one real product advantage that matters specifically for insurance restoration work.
Native Xactimate/Verisk integration — a real product advantage, not just marketing. ServiceTitan’s partnership with Verisk syncs estimate data directly into Xactimate and back, reducing double entry on insurance claims. If 60%+ of your revenue is insurance restoration and your team already lives in Xactimate, this is a genuine workflow win that QuoteIQ does not currently match.
Built for scale past 20 technicians. ServiceTitan’s dispatching, reporting, and multi-department controls are genuinely deeper than QuoteIQ’s at enterprise scale. A $5M+ restoration operation with dedicated office staff, a call center, and dozens of crews is the scale ServiceTitan was designed for.
QuickBooks Desktop support. ServiceTitan supports both QuickBooks Online and Desktop. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online only. If your accountant requires Desktop, that’s a legitimate reason to stay.
Brand recognition and community size. ServiceTitan’s Pantheon conference draws 4,000+ contractors, and it’s the name most-referenced in enterprise trades circles. That’s a marketing and market-tenure advantage, not a product advantage for a 3–15 person restoration crew evaluating on cost and features.
A quick walkthrough of the platform restoration companies are switching to.
No 3-to-12-month implementation. Most restoration operators are quoting jobs in QuoteIQ within a day.
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.
Export your customer list, active job records, and open claim data from ServiceTitan as a CSV. Some users report ServiceTitan makes data export difficult after cancellation notice — start this step before you formally cancel.
Upload your CSV to QuoteIQ's AI Smart Import. The AI reads your column headers and maps every customer and claim field automatically — no manual matching. A $299 Done-For-You migration is also available.
Add emergency tarp and board-up, water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, re-roof tiers, siding, and full interior rebuild — with your per-square-foot and flat rates. The price book feeds directly into MapMeasure Pro and Options Estimates.
Open MapMeasure Pro, enter the property address, measure the roof and affected zones from satellite imagery, and build an Options Estimate with Emergency, Standard, and Premium tiers — ready to e-sign on-site.

QuoteIQ 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 grew and sold a pressure washing business before co-founding QuoteIQ. Storm restoration shares the same root problem he built QuoteIQ to solve — getting an accurate, tiered estimate in front of a property owner fast, before a competitor's truck gets there first. 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 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, including the one genuine product reason.
Your revenue is heavily insurance-claim-dependent and your team already runs on Xactimate. ServiceTitan's native Verisk/Xactimate sync is a real, verified product advantage for high-volume insurance restoration work. This is the one legitimate feature reason to stay, not a marketing reason.
You run 20+ technicians with dedicated office and dispatch staff. ServiceTitan's enterprise reporting and multi-department controls are genuinely deeper at that scale. QuoteIQ is built for restoration operations with 1–50 employees — not 200-tech franchises.
You recognize the name because of a decade of enterprise trade-show presence — not because it's cheaper. ServiceTitan's Pantheon conference and market tenure built brand recognition. That is a marketing and market-history advantage, not a product win for a growing restoration crew evaluating on cost.
The honest bottom line: If Xactimate sync is mission-critical to your claims workflow, or you're running 20+ techs with dedicated office staff, ServiceTitan may be the right fit. For every restoration company under that scale evaluating on features, total cost, and contract terms — QuoteIQ Elite delivers tiered mitigation pricing, satellite measurement, equipment inventory, and insurance pipeline tracking for a fraction of the year-one cost, with no contract. The brand recognition is a marketing win for them. Not a product win.
For restoration companies under roughly 20 technicians, yes on cost and included features — QuoteIQ Elite includes satellite roof measurement, tiered mitigation pricing, equipment inventory, AI restoration previews, and insurance pipeline tracking for $299/month with no contract. ServiceTitan's one genuine advantage is its native Xactimate integration; if your claims workflow depends on that sync, ServiceTitan may be the better fit despite the cost.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing. Third-party estimates place it at $245–$500 per technician per month depending on tier, plus a $5,000–$50,000+ implementation fee and a 12+ month contract. A 5-technician crew on the Essentials tier with required Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, and Pricebook Pro add-ons runs an estimated $50,000–$70,000+ in year one. QuoteIQ Elite costs $3,588 for the full year with no contract.
Yes. ServiceTitan announced a partnership with Verisk in September 2025 that syncs estimate data two-way with Xactimate, reducing manual re-entry on insurance claims. This is a genuine, verified feature and a real reason a heavy insurance-restoration operation might choose ServiceTitan. QuoteIQ does not currently offer a Xactimate integration.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro measures roof area, building footprint, and affected property zones from satellite imagery in approximately 90 seconds per property. A restoration company responding to a hail event across a subdivision can pre-measure every roof before arriving on-site. ServiceTitan has no native equivalent.
Yes. Options Estimates present Emergency Mitigation, Standard Restoration, and Premium Rebuild tiers side-by-side on one proposal with e-signature and deposit collection built in. Contractors using tiered pricing report 30–50% higher average project values. ServiceTitan offers a comparable feature through the Pricebook Pro add-on, which is not included in the base subscription.
Tiered good/better/best pricing on ServiceTitan requires the Pricebook Pro add-on, estimated at $200–$500+/month on top of the per-technician base subscription. QuoteIQ Elite includes Options Estimates at no additional cost.
Yes. Pipelines CRM tracks every claim through Initial Assessment, Mitigation Complete, Insurance Approval, Rebuild Signed, and Final Payment stages in a visual Kanban board. ServiceTitan offers a comparable Insurance Sales Queue built into its platform.
Yes. Inventory tracking manages dehumidifiers, air movers, air scrubbers, moisture meters, thermal cameras, tarps, generators, extraction units, and consumable supplies across warehouse, truck stock, and active job sites. ServiceTitan includes inventory tracking as well, though users report it can be complex to configure for restoration-specific equipment categories.
ServiceTitan requires a 12+ month annual contract, and early termination fees are reported at $5,000–$20,000+. Multiple users also report difficulty exporting their own business data after giving cancellation notice. QuoteIQ has no long-term contract — month-to-month, cancel anytime.
ServiceTitan's own response to the Better Business Bureau states the platform is "not optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians." It's built for larger operations with dedicated office staff. For a growing restoration crew under roughly 15–20 technicians, the per-technician pricing model and implementation costs typically outweigh the benefits unless Xactimate integration is mission-critical.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on all plans. All features are available during the trial including Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, inventory tracking, Pipelines CRM, and AI tools. No contracts — cancel anytime. ServiceTitan does not offer a free trial.
The Pro plan at $149.99/month supports 4 users and includes satellite measurement, tiered mitigation pricing, and inventory tracking. For a 5–7 person crew with a dedicated estimator, Elite at $299/month supports 7 users. Companies with unlimited crews use the Max plan at $699/month for unlimited users.
Tiered mitigation pricing, satellite roof measurement, equipment inventory, insurance pipeline tracking, and AI restoration previews — all included at $299/month, month-to-month, no implementation fee.
