Workiz Pro is $325/month — and charges separately for its phone system and AI answering service. Satellite measurement, customer self-quoting, self-scheduling, and AI-powered estimating do not exist on any Workiz plan at any price. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99. Everything included.
Workiz is a solid scheduler and dispatcher. For an electrical contracting business handling service calls, panel upgrades, rewiring jobs, EV charger installations, and generator hookups, the basic scheduling layer is fine. The problem starts when you need the rest of your business to work without pasting tools together.
Workiz sells its phone system separately from the base plan. Its AI answering service (Genius Answering) runs approximately $200/month on top of your subscription. Inventory management is locked behind the Ultimate tier, which requires a sales call and has unpublished pricing. Satellite property measurement, customer self-quoting, customer self-scheduling, AI-powered photo estimates, and natural language CRM control do not exist on Workiz at any tier, at any price, through any integration.
This guide shows the full cost picture for an electrical contractor trying to match QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on Workiz — and what features simply cannot be matched regardless of spend.
Workiz Pro ($325/mo) is their highest published plan for growing teams. Here is what it takes to approach the features QuoteIQ Elite includes natively — using verified monthly pricing as of April 2026.
+ unpublished Ultimate pricing for inventory
Six features Workiz cannot add at any price: Satellite property measurement, customer self-quoting, customer self-scheduling against a live calendar, AI-powered photo estimates, before/after AI photo generation, and AI natural language CRM control do not exist on any Workiz tier. Even on Ultimate with unpublished pricing, these capabilities are absent.
Workiz Pro with phone and AI answering add-ons costs at least $525+/month — and that is before upgrading to Ultimate for inventory management. Even with unlimited budget, six core capabilities that QuoteIQ Elite includes natively cannot be replicated on Workiz. QuoteIQ Elite is $249.99/month. Everything included. One login.
Every feature that matters to an electrical contracting business. All Workiz prices are standard monthly billing — never annual, never promo. Workiz data sourced from workiz.com/pricing-plans/ as of April 2026.

QuoteIQ Elite wins on six features Workiz does not offer at any price: satellite property measurement, customer self-quoting, live-calendar self-scheduling, AI photo estimates, before/after AI photo generation, and AI natural language CRM control. Where Workiz charges separately for phone and AI answering, QuoteIQ includes ClientHub and Virtual Call Team on the plan. QuoteIQ Elite delivers everything for $249.99/month — $75.01 less than Workiz Pro base alone.
Being transparent: here are the genuine reasons an electrical contractor might choose Workiz over QuoteIQ.
Built-in VoIP phone system with call routing and call flows. Workiz is one of the few FSM platforms with a fully integrated VoIP phone system (sold separately). For electrical contractors who want call masking, call queues, call recording, and ad source tracking from a single vendor, the Workiz phone system is a genuine product advantage. The trade-off: it is an add-on cost on top of the base plan. QuoteIQ ClientHub offers in-app calling and texting included on Pro and above, but Workiz’s phone infrastructure is more mature for high-call-volume dispatch operations.
Stronger presence in locksmith, junk removal, and appliance repair verticals. Workiz was built originally for locksmiths and has deep market penetration in a handful of on-demand service industries. That community means more tutorials, template libraries, and peer support in those specific verticals. For electrical contractors specifically, the community advantage is smaller — most Workiz case studies center on emergency dispatch businesses like locksmithing and garage door repair, not structured electrical work.
Consumer financing via Wisetack/Sunbit integration. Workiz integrates with both Wisetack and Sunbit for customer financing — a genuine advantage for electrical contractors running panel upgrade and whole-home rewiring jobs where ticket prices can exceed $5,000. QuoteIQ does not currently offer a consumer financing integration.
A full walkthrough of the platform built for home service contractors — by contractors who ran businesses like yours.
Most electrical contractors complete the switch in an afternoon. Here is the process from account creation to first estimate 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.
In Workiz, export your client list and job history as a CSV. You only need names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails. Most exports take under five minutes.
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 panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, outlet and switch installation, EV charger hookups, generator connections, ceiling fan installs, circuit breaker replacements, knob-and-tube removal, and service call diagnostics — with your flat rates or per-unit pricing. The price book feeds directly into estimates and InstaQuote.
Open a new estimate, select your services from the price book, add materials and permit costs with job costing, and send it to the customer via text or email. Most operators complete their first estimate in under 5 minutes.

“There is a lack of accountability when they make errors, and it seems they are in no rush to fix them when you reach out.”

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan II 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. He understands the daily grind of managing crews, quoting jobs remotely, and chasing reviews on platforms that charge for every add-on. Electrical contractors running panel upgrades and service calls face the same operational pain points Mike solved by building QuoteIQ. 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 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 are the legitimate reasons to stay.
Your dispatch operation runs entirely through Workiz’s phone system. If you have built call flows, call queues, call masking rules, and ad tracking around Workiz’s integrated VoIP system, migrating that infrastructure requires porting numbers and rebuilding call routing. For high-volume electrical dispatch operations taking 50+ inbound calls per day, that transition cost is real. This is a genuine product advantage for Workiz — not a marketing advantage.
You rely on Wisetack or Sunbit consumer financing for large-ticket electrical jobs. Panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, and generator installations routinely exceed $5,000. If your close rate depends on offering customer financing at the point of sale through Workiz’s Wisetack or Sunbit integration, QuoteIQ does not currently offer an equivalent financing integration. That is a genuine product gap.
The honest bottom line: If your business depends on Workiz’s phone infrastructure or its consumer financing integrations, staying makes sense. For every other electrical contractor evaluating on features and total monthly cost, there is no tier of Workiz that delivers what QuoteIQ Elite delivers for less money. The phone system is a real product strength for Workiz. Everything else on this page favors QuoteIQ.
For most electrical contractors, yes. QuoteIQ Elite includes six capabilities Workiz does not offer at any price: satellite property measurement (MapMeasure Pro), customer self-quoting (InstaQuote), 24/7 live-calendar customer self-scheduling (InstaSchedule), AI photo-based estimates (AI Estimator), before/after AI photo generation, and AI natural language CRM control (AI Autopilot). QuoteIQ Elite also includes a dedicated business phone (ClientHub), AI answering (Virtual Call Team), inventory management, job costing, and route optimization — all for $249.99/month with no add-on fees.
Workiz’s standard monthly prices are $225/month (Kickstart, 3 users), $275/month (Standard, 5 users), and $325/month (Pro, 5 users). Ultimate pricing requires a sales call and is unpublished. The phone system is sold separately from all plans, and Genius Answering (AI call dispatching) costs approximately $200/month additionally. Extra users on Standard cost $55/month each and $65/month each on Pro. For a 5-person electrical team on Pro with phone and AI answering, the visible cost is at least $525+/month — before reaching Ultimate for inventory management.
No. Workiz does not offer satellite property measurement on any plan and does not have a third-party integration for it. Electrical contractors who need to measure rooftop solar panel areas, exterior conduit runs, or lot boundaries for trenching estimates cannot do so on Workiz. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro provides satellite and street view measurement with Zillow property data — built into Beginner plans and above at no additional cost.
No. Workiz’s integrated phone system — including call recording, call flows, 2-way texting, and ad tracking — is sold separately as an add-on from all base plans. The base plans include a local number but not the full phone functionality. QuoteIQ includes ClientHub (in-app calling and texting with every call logged to job history) on Pro and above at $149.99/month with no separate phone subscription.
Workiz Genius Answering is an AI dispatcher that handles after-hours inbound calls. It is sold separately from both the base plan and the phone system add-on. Multiple user reviews report the cost at approximately $200/month. Genius Answering handles inbound calls only — it does not make outbound follow-up calls. QuoteIQ’s Virtual Call Team handles both inbound and outbound AI calling, included via IQ Credits on all plans with no separate monthly fee.
Inventory management on Workiz is only available on the Ultimate plan, which requires a sales call and has unpublished pricing. Electrical contractors tracking wire spools, circuit breakers, panel boxes, conduit, and connectors across multiple trucks cannot access inventory features on Kickstart, Standard, or Pro. QuoteIQ Elite includes inventory management with truck stock, location tracking, supplier management, and purchase orders — built in at $249.99/month.
Workiz offers online booking, which allows customers to request an appointment through your website. However, it is not true 24/7 live-calendar self-scheduling where the customer sees your real-time availability and books a confirmed slot instantly. QuoteIQ InstaSchedule connects directly to your live calendar — customers pick an open time slot and the booking is confirmed automatically. No dispatcher involvement needed.
Yes. QuoteIQ Elite includes job costing that tracks labor hours, material costs (wire, panels, breakers, conduit, connectors), permit fees, and subcontractor expenses per job. You see your real gross margin on every panel upgrade, rewiring job, and EV charger installation before the invoice goes out. Workiz does not have a native job costing feature on any plan.
QuoteIQ Elite costs $249.99/month for up to 7 users with every feature included — phone, AI answering, inventory, job costing, route optimization, satellite measurement, self-quoting, self-scheduling, and all AI tools. Workiz Pro costs $325/month for 5 users, and the phone system and Genius Answering are sold separately (adding approximately $200+/month). That puts the minimum Workiz cost at $525+/month for fewer users and fewer features.
Yes. Export your client list from Workiz as a CSV, then upload it to QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import. The AI automatically maps your column headers to QuoteIQ fields — no manual matching needed. Most imports complete in under a minute. A $299 Done-For-You migration service is also available if you prefer a hands-off transition.
Yes. QuoteIQ supports residential service calls (outlet installs, panel upgrades, ceiling fans, troubleshooting), new construction rough-in quoting, commercial maintenance contracts, and specialty work like EV charger installations and generator hookups. The price book, InstaQuote, and job costing features handle both residential flat rates and commercial per-unit pricing.
Six features that do not exist on any Workiz plan at any price: MapMeasure Pro (satellite property measurement), InstaQuote (customer self-quoting), InstaSchedule (24/7 live-calendar self-scheduling), AI Estimator (photo-based estimates), Before and After AI Photo Generator, and AI Autopilot (35 natural language CRM tools). Additionally, QuoteIQ includes job costing and Review Multiplier natively, neither of which are available on Workiz’s published plans.
