ProLine is a roofing-only sales CRM with a genuinely free plan and six named AI products — one more than QuoteIQ ships. It’s not a product we can claim is thin on features. What it is, is expensive the moment you pay: $497 a month for three seats. QuoteIQ Elite gives you seven users for $299. Here’s the honest breakdown of where each one fits.
ProLine publishes three paid tiers — GOOD at $497/month, BETTER at $797, BEST at $1,697 — and all three include three seats. It also runs a genuinely free plan that doesn’t expire. Their AI is real and deep: inbound and outbound voice agents, call summaries, call scoring, an AI Insurance Estimate Manager and an AI sales roleplay trainer, all at the $797 tier. Two of those have no QuoteIQ equivalent, so this isn’t a page arguing they lack AI. The differences that matter are cost per seat and scope. QuoteIQ Elite is $299 for seven users — $198 less than ProLine’s cheapest paid plan, for more than twice the seats — with AI included from $29.99. And ProLine is roofing only: add gutters, siding or pressure washing and you’ve outgrown the product, where QuoteIQ covers 50+ trades on one account. If you’re an established roofing sales team already spending four figures a month on software, ProLine is aimed squarely at you.
TL;DR: ProLine markets itself as “The Roofing CRM That Sells More Jobs” and it’s built for exactly that — a roofing sales operation with an insurance-restoration motion. Its own pricing page benchmarks its tiers against competing tool stacks costing roughly $1,378 to $3,892 a month, which tells you the customer it has in mind. The entry paid plan at $497 includes unlimited calling and texting with call recordings, multi-option quotes, work and material orders, payments, scheduling, seven report types, a mobile app and done-for-you setup. Their commercial terms are unusually good: a 30-day money-back guarantee tied to selling one additional job, explicit customer data ownership, CSV export, self-service cancellation and free phone-number porting on exit. They integrate with EagleView, CompanyCam, SumoQuote and RoofQuotePRO. QuoteIQ publishes $29.99 to $699 with AI Estimator and Virtual Call Team on every plan, satellite measurement from $74.99 and route optimization on Elite. Per the U.S. Small Business Administration, software overhead is among the most controllable fixed costs for a small contractor — which is the whole comparison in one sentence.
ProLine’s free plan is real and it’s generous. Their free roofing CRM page says it isn’t a trial, doesn’t expire, allows unlimited projects and contacts, and answers the team-size question directly: asked whether there’s a cap on users, they say you can add your full team with no cap. Signing up needs only your name, email, phone and business address.
Their paid plans, per the pricing page, all include three seats — at $497, $797 and $1,697 a month. Read those two pages together and the curve is unusual:
Ask about this on the demo rather than assuming. We’re reading two of their own pages side by side, and the sensible question is what happens to a six-person team that upgrades from free to GOOD — whether seats four, five and six carry an added cost, and what that cost is. ProLine doesn’t publish additional-seat pricing anywhere we could find, so it’s a sales-call question. It’s also worth asking what PRO Credits are, since 3,000, 15,000 and 30,000 of them appear on the three tiers without explanation on the pricing page.
Credit where it’s due on the free plan itself: a non-expiring free tier with unlimited contacts and projects, integrations including EagleView and RoofQuotePRO, and no cap on team members is more generous than anything QuoteIQ offers — our entry plan is $29.99 with a 14-day trial. If your budget is zero and you only roof, their free plan is a real option and we’d rather you knew that.
This is not a page that argues ProLine is behind on AI, because it isn’t. Their BETTER tier at $797 lists six named AI products, and two of them have no QuoteIQ equivalent at any price. Anyone telling you ProLine has no native AI hasn’t read their pricing page.
| AI capability | QuoteIQ | ProLine |
|---|---|---|
| Inbound AI voice agent | Virtual Call Team — all plans, from $29.99 | BETTER tier, $797 |
| Outbound AI voice agent | Not available | BETTER tier |
| AI call summaries | Not available | BETTER tier |
| AI call scoring | Not available | BETTER tier |
| AI insurance estimate manager | Not available | BETTER tier — roofing-specific |
| AI voice roleplay sales trainer | Not available | BETTER tier |
| AI estimating from a photo | AI Estimator — all plans | Not documented |
| Before/after AI visualization | All plans | Not documented |
| AI follow-up autopilot | All plans | Automation engine, not AI-labelled |
| AI text generation | All plans | Not documented |
| Cost of entry to AI | $29.99/month | $797/month |
The AI Insurance Estimate Manager and the voice roleplay trainer deserve particular credit. Insurance restoration is where roofing margin is won or lost, and a tool aimed specifically at managing carrier estimates is a genuinely roofing-native idea. A sales trainer that lets reps rehearse against an AI voice is a good answer to the hardest problem in roofing sales, which is rep ramp time. QuoteIQ has nothing comparable to either. The trade-off is the price of admission: those live at $797/month for three seats, where QuoteIQ’s AI is on the $29.99 plan.
Two things, and they’re both structural rather than feature-by-feature: what a seat costs, and how many trades you can run on one account.
| Plan | Monthly | Seats | Per seat |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ Essentials | $29.99 | 1 | $29.99 |
| QuoteIQ Pro | $149.99 | 4 | $37.50 |
| QuoteIQ Elite | $299 | 7 | $42.71 |
| QuoteIQ Max | $699 | Unlimited | Falls with headcount |
| ProLine GOOD | $497 | 3 | $165.67 |
| ProLine BETTER | $797 | 3 | $265.67 |
| ProLine BEST | $1,697 | 3 | $565.67 |
The clearest single comparison: QuoteIQ Elite is $299 for seven users. ProLine’s cheapest paid plan is $497 for three. That’s $198 less for more than twice the seats — and Elite includes route optimization, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, GPS tracking and inventory management. ProLine also has no unlimited-user tier at any price; QuoteIQ Max removes the ceiling at $699.
ProLine is roofing only. Add gutters, siding or pressure washing and you’ve outgrown the product. QuoteIQ runs 50+ trades on one account.
MapMeasure Pro is included from $74.99. ProLine integrates EagleView instead, which is a per-report cost on top of the subscription.
Stop sequencing on Elite at $299. ProLine ships calendars with sales, production and dispatch views — scheduling rather than route optimization.
A solo roofer or two-truck operation can run QuoteIQ for $29.99 or $74.99 with the full AI suite. ProLine’s paid entry is $497.
Review Multiplier from $74.99, requesting a Google review after every paid invoice — from every customer, with no filtering.
Job costing with QuickBooks Online sync on Pro at $149.99, so you know margin per job rather than just revenue.
This section exists because it would be dishonest to leave it out. ProLine’s published terms are among the most customer-friendly of any platform we’ve reviewed, and several of them are things a buyer should actively look for.
Their homepage states that if you don’t sell one additional job within thirty days, they refund what you’ve paid. A guarantee tied to an outcome rather than a satisfaction window is rare.
They state that leads, contacts and projects you add are 100% owned by you and everything can be exported via CSV. Not every vendor says this in writing.
Cancel from inside the product with no phone call or email required, and on exit they’ll transfer your phone numbers to another provider free of charge.
On the $497 entry plan, including call recordings. That’s a real phone system inside the CRM, not just notification sending.
Included on paid tiers rather than sold as a separate implementation fee, which is how several competitors in this category handle onboarding.
CompanyCam, SumoQuote, RoofQuotePRO, EagleView, Angi and Zapier — the tools a roofing company is likely already running.
One thing we could not verify, and you should factor in. We found no independent Capterra or G2 star rating for ProLine at the time of writing — a Capterra listing exists but without a displayed score. The rating figure in circulation is one ProLine publishes on its own blog, citing Google Reviews. That’s not a criticism; a newer or more sales-led product often has thin review-platform coverage. But if independent verification matters to your decision, ask them for reference customers directly, and note their outcome claims — close rates rising from 27% to 64%, 14.6 hours saved per week — are company-reported and unaudited.
ProLine tells you their target customer more clearly than most vendors do. Their pricing page compares their tiers against tool stacks costing roughly $1,378, $1,828 and $3,892 a month — so the buyer they have in mind is already spending four figures monthly across several tools. They also publish a page aimed specifically at private equity firms, roll-ups and franchise operators.

“QuoteIQ simplifies scheduling and client tracking for pressure washing, lawn care, roofing, and pest control professionals.”
— bonny marica, verified App Store review of QuoteIQ. The multi-trade point matters here: a roofing company that adds a second service line stays on one QuoteIQ account, but leaves ProLine’s product scope entirely.ProLine’s strength is the sales motion — lead speed, calling, quoting, closing, and now AI that scores and rehearses those conversations. That’s a real and well-built focus. The part worth checking against your own operation is what happens after the signature, because a roofing company’s margin is made or lost in production rather than in the sale.
On QuoteIQ that whole chain sits on the phone from the entry plan: scheduling and dispatch, QuoteIQ Cam for before-and-after documentation, options-based estimates for good-better-best roofing packages, e-signatures on contracts, invoicing with online payment, and Review Multiplier requesting a Google review once the invoice clears. Pro adds job costing, a business number and email and text automation; Elite adds routing, GPS and inventory.
ProLine covers a good deal of this too — production management, work and material orders, payments, seven report types including profitability. The difference is what it costs to get there and how many people can use it. Everything above is on QuoteIQ plans between $29.99 and $299 with four to seven seats, against $497 for three. And if roofing turns into roofing plus gutters, the same feature set covers both trades on one login.
The cleanest way to test this yourself: take your last completed roof and walk it through both products end to end — lead, quote, contract, schedule, crew, invoice, payment, review request. Count the steps that need a second tool. ProLine’s free plan and QuoteIQ’s 14-day trial both cost nothing, so this is an afternoon’s work rather than a purchase decision made on a feature grid.
Five plans on the public pricing page, each with its user count stated, a 14-day free trial on all of them, month-to-month with no contract. The full AI suite is on every tier including Essentials. Annual billing gives two months free.
This distinction gets flattened in most software comparisons, so it’s worth being precise. A booking form — the kind most platforms in this category ship — captures an unpriced service request that you still have to quote, price, confirm and chase. InstaQuote and InstaSchedule are two separate products, and neither one is that. Together they’re the only self-quoting and self-scheduling combination in the industry.
The difference in one sentence: a booking form schedules an unpriced request. InstaSchedule only opens after a customer taps Accept on an estimate — so the job arrives already sold, at a locked price, with the payment method on file, in a slot that was genuinely free, waiting on your one-tap approval. Around 40% of appointments are booked outside business hours, and Sunday evening is the busiest booking window of the week — which is time you are not answering the phone.
ProLine has built something good for roofing sales teams — six AI products, a real phone system, an insurance estimate manager we have no answer to, and commercial terms most vendors won’t match. If you’re an established roofing operation already spending four figures a month on software, they’re aimed at you and they’ll likely serve you well. If you’re running a crew rather than a sales floor, or you roof and do gutters, the maths changes quickly: QuoteIQ Elite is $299 for seven users against $497 for three, with AI from $29.99 and 50+ trades on one account.

Four questions that stop a $497 plan becoming a $900 bill.
A $497 plan with three seats is $165.67 per person. Normalize every quote to cost per seat before you compare anything else.
Most roofing CRMs don’t publish additional-seat pricing. Get it in writing before signing, because it’s what changes your bill in year two.
Credits, AI minutes, per-report measurement fees and texting overages sit on top of the subscription. Ask what consumes them and what overage costs.
If you might add gutters or siding, check whether the platform supports it or whether you’d be buying a second system in two years.
