Workiz charges $325/mo for their Pro plan and sells the phone system separately. QuoteIQ Elite gives landscaping companies satellite property measurement, AI-powered quoting, route optimization, and a dedicated business phone for $249.99/mo. Everything included. No add-on surprises.
Workiz built a strong platform for locksmiths and appliance repair shops. But landscaping companies need tools Workiz simply does not offer: satellite property measurement for quoting lawn installations without a site visit, route optimization for crews running 8-12 stops per day, and job costing that tracks mulch, sod, plants, and labor down to the dollar. QuoteIQ was built for landscaping businesses by contractors who understand what it takes to run crews, quote hardscaping projects, and manage seasonal demand.
Workiz Pro costs $325/mo and includes 5 users. But their phone system is now sold separately, and their AI answering add-on runs an additional $200/mo based on user reports. QuoteIQ Elite costs $249.99/mo and includes 7 users, a dedicated business phone number, satellite property measurement, AI-powered tools on every plan, and route optimization. Every feature your landscaping crew needs is included from day one. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, grounds maintenance is one of the fastest-growing trades in the U.S. The companies that win are the ones investing in technology that lets them quote faster, route smarter, and collect more five-star reviews.
Workiz Pro at $325/mo still requires a separate phone system purchase and has no satellite measurement, no AI estimator, and no route optimization for landscaping crews. QuoteIQ Elite at $249.99/mo includes all of those plus 7 users, job costing, and an automated review system. Your landscaping company saves $75+/mo before you even count the add-ons Workiz charges separately.
Workiz publishes $325/mo for their Pro plan. But to match what QuoteIQ Elite includes for landscaping companies, you need multiple add-ons and still end up with critical feature gaps. Here is the real math.
Workiz phone system and Genius Answering prices are research-sourced estimates based on user reviews and third-party pricing aggregators (April 2026). Workiz does not publicly list exact add-on pricing for these features. Actual costs may vary. All QuoteIQ pricing is confirmed from myquoteiq.com/pricing.

No comparison is complete without honesty. Here is where Workiz has genuine advantages over QuoteIQ for landscaping companies.
Workiz built their reputation on an integrated phone system with call tracking, recording, masking, and ad source attribution. While now sold separately, it remains one of the most feature-rich FSM phone systems on the market. QuoteIQ has ClientHub but Workiz goes deeper on call analytics.
Workiz integrates directly with Angi, Thumbtack, Google Local Services Ads, and other lead platforms. For landscaping companies that rely heavily on these lead sources, Workiz offers tighter integration than QuoteIQ currently provides.
Workiz offers consumer financing options for customers who need to finance larger landscaping projects. QuoteIQ does not currently have a consumer financing integration, which matters for high-ticket hardscaping and outdoor living installations.
With over 120,000 service professionals on the platform, Workiz has a significantly larger user base than QuoteIQ. More users means more product feedback and a more mature feature set in certain areas like dispatching workflows.
Workiz wins on phone system depth, lead source integrations, and consumer financing. These are real advantages. But for landscaping companies specifically, satellite property measurement, route optimization, job costing, and AI-powered quoting deliver more daily operational value than call analytics. QuoteIQ gives you those at $249.99/mo all-in.

“No unlimited phone plan. Most FSM platforms offer this. Workiz doesn’t, even though it’s one of the most requested features.”
— Capterra verified review, 2025“Workiz migration team was horrendous to communicate and work with. It truly feels like you’re in service of them, not the other way around.”
— G2 verified review, 2025“Their smart answering system is a joke. Genius Answering can’t even tell customers the prices of your services, yet it costs $200 per month.”
— Capterra verified review, 2024Real reviews from contractors running service businesses with QuoteIQ every day.
“From quoting to scheduling to measuring — every tool my service business needs.”
— Echevarria Roney · App Store · Verified Review“InstaQuote and InstaSchedule are a game changer for any business that is serious about scaling to the next level!”
— Mavidan · App Store · Verified Review“The intuitive interface ensures even new users can quickly master tasks like quoting and scheduling jobs.”
— Shandi Lowell · App Store · Verified ReviewQuoteIQ was founded by contractors who ran their own service businesses. Every feature exists because they needed it in the field — not because a product manager guessed it might be useful. As the National Association of Landscape Professionals has noted, technology adoption is one of the key differentiators between landscaping companies that grow and those that plateau.
Mike built QuoteIQ because he was tired of paying for five different apps to run his service business. MapMeasure Pro exists because he spent hours driving to properties just to measure a driveway. His philosophy is simple: landscaping companies should be quoting, not commuting. His YouTube channel ForeverSelfEmployed shares real strategies for growing a service business.
Read Mike’s Insights →Justin focuses on making QuoteIQ the simplest CRM a landscaping crew can use. His approach: if a field tech cannot figure out a feature in under two minutes, it needs to be redesigned. Justin drives the AI Autopilot development that lets landscaping business owners control their entire CRM through natural language voice commands.
Read Justin’s Insights →We believe in honest comparisons. Here is who should probably stay with Workiz instead of switching to QuoteIQ.
The bottom line: If your landscaping company needs lead source integrations or consumer financing, Workiz has real advantages there. But if you need satellite measurement, route optimization, AI quoting, and job costing — features that save landscaping crews hours every week — QuoteIQ delivers all of it at $249.99/mo with no add-on surprises. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, reducing operational costs is one of the most effective ways to improve profitability in service businesses.
Workiz Pro costs $325/mo with 5 users included. Each additional user costs $65/mo on monthly billing. The phone system is sold separately as an add-on, and Genius Answering (their AI call service) is reported by users to cost approximately $200/mo. A 7-user landscaping team on Workiz Pro with the phone system and AI answering can expect to pay $705+/mo. QuoteIQ Elite includes 7 users, a dedicated business phone, AI Virtual Call Team, and every other feature for $249.99/mo.
No. Workiz does not offer satellite property measurement at any price or on any plan. QuoteIQ includes MapMeasure Pro starting on the Beginner plan ($74.99/mo), which lets landscaping companies measure lawn areas, planting beds, walkways, and hardscaping zones from satellite without visiting the property.
Workiz offers a basic route planning feature, but it is not a true route optimization engine. QuoteIQ Elite includes full route optimization that calculates the most efficient sequence for your crews, plus route density zones that show where your landscaping jobs are geographically clustered for smarter daily scheduling.
Yes. Export your Workiz contacts and job history as a CSV file, then upload it to QuoteIQ. AI Smart Import automatically maps your customer data, service history, and notes into QuoteIQ. Most landscaping companies complete the full migration in under an hour. A $299 Done-For-You onboarding option is also available if you prefer hands-off setup.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full access to whichever plan you select. A credit or debit card is required to start. Workiz offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
Workiz does not include job costing on their Pro plan ($325/mo). Job costing requires the Ultimate tier, which has custom pricing only available through their sales team. QuoteIQ includes real-time job costing on the Pro plan ($149.99/mo) and above, letting landscaping companies track mulch, sod, plants, labor, and equipment costs per project.
Workiz has three genuine advantages: deeper lead source integrations with Angi, Thumbtack, and Google LSA; consumer financing for large hardscaping projects; and a more mature VoIP phone system with advanced call analytics. If your landscaping company generates most of its leads from these platforms or frequently finances projects over $5,000, Workiz may be the better fit for your specific workflow. For companies that need measurement, routing, and AI tools, QuoteIQ is the stronger choice.
As of 2026, the Workiz phone system is sold separately as an add-on. All paid plans include a local number, but the full communication suite (call tracking, recording, AI answering, 2-way texting) requires an additional purchase. QuoteIQ includes ClientHub with a dedicated business phone number, two-way calling, and texting on the Pro plan ($149.99/mo) and above.
QuoteIQ handles every type of landscaping estimate: lawn maintenance, mulch and sod installation, bed design and planting, hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls), grading and drainage, spring and fall cleanups, tree and shrub care, and irrigation installation. You can create standard estimates, options estimates (let clients choose between service tiers), and package estimates for bundled seasonal services. The EPA pesticide application requirements are also easier to document when your CRM tracks every service detail per property.
QuoteIQ Elite includes EmployeeHub with GPS tracking for every crew member, time tracking, team communication, and sales tracking — all unified in one system. Workiz offers basic team management and location tracking on Standard ($275/mo) and above, but does not have a dedicated employee management hub with the depth that QuoteIQ provides for managing multiple landscaping crews.
Yes. QuoteIQ handles both residential lawn care and commercial landscape maintenance. MapMeasure Pro can measure properties of any size from satellite. The Pipelines and Deals CRM is especially useful for tracking commercial landscaping contracts with longer sales cycles and higher dollar values. Job costing helps you maintain margins on both one-time residential installations and recurring commercial maintenance agreements. Meeting OSHA workplace safety standards is also easier when your CRM tracks crew assignments and job documentation per site.
QuoteIQ Max at $399.99/mo includes unlimited users, plus additional features like Crew Tracking, Crew Creation, and Crew Scheduling. For landscaping companies with 10+ employees, Max is the most cost-effective plan in the industry. On Workiz, a 10-user team on Pro would cost $325 + (5 x $65) = $650/mo — before the phone system and AI answering add-ons.
QuoteIQ Elite gives your landscaping company satellite property measurement, route optimization, AI quoting, job costing, automated reviews, a dedicated business phone, and employee management. Everything included at $249.99/mo. No add-on traps. No per-user fees. No phone system sold separately.
