ServiceTitan runs $245–$500 per technician per month, plus $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation fees and a 12-month contract — and still doesn’t include AI photo-based estimating, customer self-quoting, or before/after AI photos. Match QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on a 5-installer ServiceTitan account and you’re paying $2,573–$4,055+/month. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month. Everything included.
ServiceTitan is the biggest name in field service software because it dominates HVAC, plumbing, and electrical dispatch for large operations. For a window installation business, the job looks different: pricing a 12-window vinyl double-hung replacement in tiers of good, better, and best; scoping a bay window or patio door job remotely before the in-home consultation; tracking material and labor cost opening-by-opening across a multi-day install; and letting a homeowner request their own quote for new casement windows without waiting three days for a callback. ServiceTitan wasn’t built with that motion in mind.
Every one of those capabilities is either missing entirely or sold separately as a paid “Pro Product” module. Tiered good/better/best window packages require Pricebook Pro (roughly $200–$500+/month). Aerial pre-scoping for window counts and siding condition means a separate EagleView, Hover, or GAF QuickMeasure account. Customer self-scheduling for in-home consultations runs through Scheduling Pro — priced only after a sales call. And AI photo-based estimating, customer self-quoting, and before/after AI photo generation aren’t available on ServiceTitan at any price or through any listed integration.
This isn’t an argument that ServiceTitan is bad software — it’s genuinely built for large-scale dispatch and multi-location reporting, and ServiceTitan has said publicly its platform is “not optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians.” This guide shows what a growing window installation company actually pays to approximate QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on ServiceTitan — and what QuoteIQ Elite includes natively for a fraction of the cost.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing — every figure below is compiled from G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, and BBB filings as of August 2026 and marked as user-reported. Here’s what it takes to match QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on ServiceTitan’s top tier for a 5-installer crew.
+ $5,000–$50,000+ one-time implementation · 12-month contract required
Four features ServiceTitan can’t add at any price: AI photo-based instant estimating, customer self-quoting, before/after AI photo generation, and natural-language voice control of the CRM (AI Autopilot equivalent) do not exist on any ServiceTitan plan or Pro Products module. ServiceTitan does have its own separate enterprise AI suite (Titan Intelligence and the Atlas copilot) for dispatch, invoicing, and marketing — it is simply not the same thing, and it is not included in the base subscription.
Matching QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on a 5-installer ServiceTitan account requires at least four separate Pro Products add-ons and third-party integrations, totaling $2,573–$4,055+/month — plus $5,000–$50,000+ in one-time implementation and a 12-month contract — and you still can’t replicate AI Estimator, InstaQuote, or Before/After AI. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month. Everything included. No contract. One login.

QuoteIQ Elite wins on four features ServiceTitan doesn’t offer at any price (AI Estimator, InstaQuote, Before/After AI, and true natural-language AI Autopilot), plus meaningfully better per-opening job costing for project-based install work. The features ServiceTitan can add — tiered pricing, aerial measurement, self-scheduling, dedicated phone — cost $583–$1,555+/mo on top of a base subscription that already runs $1,990–$2,500/mo for a 5-installer crew. QuoteIQ Elite delivers all of it, with no contract, for $299/month.
Being transparent: here is the complete, honest case for choosing ServiceTitan over QuoteIQ. It comes down to enterprise scale — not the day-to-day motion of running a growing window installation business.
Genuine enterprise-scale depth for large, multi-location operations. ServiceTitan’s dispatch board, Marketing Pro attribution, and multi-location reporting are built for 20+ technician operations running several markets at once. If that describes your window installation company, ServiceTitan’s enterprise reporting genuinely outmatches most SMB-focused CRMs, QuoteIQ included. One real product advantage: ServiceTitan supports QuickBooks Desktop sync — QuoteIQ currently syncs with QuickBooks Online only.
Name recognition inside large HVAC, plumbing, and electrical franchises — not a window-installation track record. ServiceTitan has raised over $8 billion in cumulative funding and is well known among the largest trade operators in the country. That recognition comes from a decade of focus on HVAC and plumbing dispatch, not from purpose-built window installation tooling. For a company under 20 installers, that brand weight doesn’t translate into a better day-to-day fit.
A full walkthrough of the platform built for home service contractors — by contractors who ran businesses like yours.
Most window installation companies complete the switch in a day or two — well inside a typical ServiceTitan contract term. Here’s the process from account creation to first quote sent.
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.
Request a customer and job export from ServiceTitan. Some contractors report needing to escalate this request — ask for the export in writing before you give notice on your contract, and request it early. 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. Done in seconds. A $299 Done-For-You migration is also available.
Add vinyl double-hung, casement, sliding, and bay/bow windows; fiberglass and wood-clad frame upgrades; Low-E argon glass packages; patio doors; egress windows; and storm windows — each with per-opening and labor rates in good/better/best tiers. The price book feeds directly into AI Estimator and MapMeasure Pro.
Open MapMeasure Pro, enter the property address, and get an approximate window count and exterior condition before you knock on the door. Feed a photo or the trace into AI Estimator and QuoteIQ builds a tiered, line-itemized quote from your price book automatically.

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — both of whom ran home service and exterior trade businesses before building software to solve the problems they faced firsthand.
Mike built and ran a home service business for over 20 years before co-founding QuoteIQ. He knows firsthand the friction of scoping properties remotely, pricing tiered packages on the fly, and chasing reviews across separate apps — the exact stack a growing window installation company has to juggle. He now 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 force contractors to stitch together five or more separate tools — a pricebook add-on here, a measurement tool there — 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. It comes down to scale, not day-to-day fit for most window installation companies.
You’re running 20+ installers across multiple markets and already use Marketing Pro or multi-location reporting. ServiceTitan’s enterprise dispatch and reporting genuinely fit large, complex operations. The one real product edge outside of scale: ServiceTitan supports QuickBooks Desktop sync. If your accountant requires Desktop and won’t move to Online, that is a legitimate reason to stay.
You’re locked into a multi-year contract with a steep early termination fee. Some ServiceTitan users report termination costs equal to the full remaining contract balance. If you’re mid-contract, it may be cheaper to finish the term and switch at renewal than to break it early — run the numbers on your specific termination clause before deciding.
The honest bottom line: If you’re a 20+ installer operation with multi-location reporting needs, or you’re locked into a contract with a steep exit cost, ServiceTitan or staying put may make sense short-term. For every other window installation company evaluating on features and total monthly cost — there is no ServiceTitan tier that delivers what QuoteIQ Elite delivers for less money, with no contract. The enterprise scale is a real advantage for large operators. It is not a product win for the rest of the trade.
For most window installation companies under 20 installers, yes. QuoteIQ has four capabilities ServiceTitan doesn’t offer at any price: AI photo-based instant estimating (AI Estimator), customer self-quoting (InstaQuote), before/after AI photo generation, and true natural-language voice control of the CRM (AI Autopilot). ServiceTitan can add tiered pricing, aerial measurement, and self-scheduling through paid Pro Products add-ons — but those cost hundreds more per month on top of a base subscription that already runs $1,990–$2,500/month for a 5-installer crew. QuoteIQ Elite includes all of it for $299/month with no contract.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing. Based on user reports compiled from G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, and BBB filings as of August 2026, expect $245–$500 per technician per month depending on tier, plus $5,000–$50,000+ in one-time implementation fees and a 12-month minimum contract. For a 5-installer crew on the top tier, that’s roughly $1,990–$2,500/month before any Pro Products add-ons — versus QuoteIQ Elite at a flat $299/month, published, no sales call required.
No. ServiceTitan does not offer photo-based instant estimating on any plan or Pro Products module as of August 2026. ServiceTitan does have its own separate enterprise AI suite (Titan Intelligence and the Atlas copilot) for tasks like invoice summaries and dispatch optimization, but nothing that generates a line-itemized window quote from a photo. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator does this natively on every plan, including Essentials at $29.99/month.
No. Customer self-quoting is not available on any ServiceTitan plan or listed Pro Products module — there is no add-on that fills this gap. ServiceTitan’s estimate tools are built for staff or technicians to generate proposals on-site or by phone, not for a homeowner to configure and price their own window package online. QuoteIQ’s InstaQuote is built in natively on Elite plans and above, with no separate account or setup fee.
Yes, through Scheduling Pro — a paid Pro Products add-on (also known by its original name, Schedule Engine) that lets customers book jobs online in real time. Pricing is not published and is disclosed only after a sales call, on top of the base subscription. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule is included natively on Elite plans and above, with published pricing and no separate sales process.
Not natively. ServiceTitan integrates with third-party aerial measurement providers such as EagleView, Hover, and GAF QuickMeasure for roof and property measurement, at additional cost (Hover, for example, runs from roughly $25 per scan or $999/year for its Pro plan). QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro provides satellite-based measurement built into the platform — no separate account, no per-scan fee — available on Essentials plans and above.
No. There is no native before/after AI image generation in ServiceTitan and no listed Pro Products module for it. Window installation is one of the most visually dramatic trades in home improvement — a side-by-side of a drafty single-pane next to a new double-hung is a strong marketing asset. QuoteIQ’s Before & After AI Photo Generator is built into every plan via IQ Credits, no separate subscription required.
User-reported implementation fees range from $5,000 to $50,000+ depending on company size and data migration complexity, and ServiceTitan requires a minimum 12-month contract — some users report being moved into 24–36 month terms. BBB complaints describe early termination fees ranging up to the full remaining contract balance in some cases. QuoteIQ has no implementation fee and no contract — cancel anytime.
ServiceTitan has stated publicly, in a BBB response, that its platform is “not optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians,” and third-party reviewers generally put the practical floor closer to 20 technicians for the platform to pencil out. For most window installation companies below that size, the base subscription, implementation cost, and contract terms outweigh what the enterprise-scale features add for a project-based install business.
Four capabilities: (1) AI Estimator — photo-based instant window quoting; (2) InstaQuote — true customer self-quoting with no staff involvement; (3) Before & After AI — automatic transformation photos; (4) AI Autopilot — natural-language voice or text control of the entire CRM with 35 integrated tools. None of these exist on any ServiceTitan plan, Pro Products module, or listed marketplace integration as of August 2026.
Request a customer and job data export from ServiceTitan — ask in writing and request it early, since some users report needing to escalate data export requests before canceling. Once you have your CSV, 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.
Two genuine scenarios: if you’re running 20+ installers with multi-location reporting needs that justify the enterprise cost, or if you’re mid-contract with a steep early termination fee where finishing the term is cheaper than breaking it. ServiceTitan also supports QuickBooks Desktop sync, which QuoteIQ does not. For every other window installation company evaluating on cost, AI tooling, self-service quoting and scheduling, and per-opening job costing, QuoteIQ Elite outperforms ServiceTitan at a fraction of the price.
Satellite measurement, AI photo-based estimating, customer self-quoting and self-scheduling, before/after AI photos, per-opening job costing, and a dedicated business phone — all in one platform, starting at $29.99/month.
