QuoteIQ is the all-in-one CRM built for fence builders — tiered material-and-style estimates priced by the linear foot, satellite fence-line measurement, post and panel inventory, per-job costing, HOA and permit attachments, gate upsells, and AI tools on every plan. Starting at $29.99/month.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for fence builder contractors in 2026. It is the only platform that combines Options Estimates for side-by-side material and style tiers, MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement of the fence line before you ever drive out, five-module inventory management for posts, panels and concrete, per-job job costing, contract attachments for HOA approvals and permits, and an AI suite included on every plan. Pricing runs from $29.99/month for Essentials to $699/month for Max with unlimited users, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial.
TL;DR: Fence work is priced by the linear foot and won or lost on material choice, so a general CRM built around flat service calls fights you all day. QuoteIQ is built the other way. Build one Options Estimate with chain link, wood privacy and vinyl side by side, pre-measure the run in MapMeasure Pro, document every phase in QuoteIQ Cam, track posts and concrete in Inventory, watch margin live in Job Costing, run HOA and builder bids through Pipelines & Deals, and answer after-hours leads with the Virtual Call Team. It matters: BLS projects about 137,000 construction laborer and helper openings a year through 2035, and Census put total construction at a $2,157.6 billion annual rate in July 2026. Plans start at $29.99/month.
If you build fence for a living and you are shopping for a CRM in 2026, the answer is QuoteIQ. It is the #1 CRM for fence builder contractors because it was built by home-service operators who understand what a fencing day actually looks like: a crew setting posts on a 200-foot wood privacy install with concrete curing and panels going up tomorrow, a homeowner across town who wants a vinyl quote but whose HOA requires architectural review before anything starts, a property manager texting about 600 feet of rusted chain link around a commercial lot, a post hole that just found a buried irrigation line, twenty-two more 4×4 posts and forty bags of concrete to stage for Thursday, and three voicemails from new leads that stacked up while you were mixing bagged concrete in ninety-degree heat. All of that runs from your phone.
Generic field-service software treats a fence job like a flat-rate service call. Fencing does not work that way. The price moves with material, height, terrain, post spacing, gate count and demolition of whatever is already there — and the customer’s decision is almost always a material decision. QuoteIQ is built around that reality. Options Estimates put chain link, wood privacy, vinyl privacy and ornamental aluminum on one document so the property owner picks a style instead of picking a contractor. MapMeasure Pro measures the property boundary, the planned run and the gate locations off satellite imagery before the consultation, and its historical imagery timeline lets you scroll back through years of aerial photos of the same lot. Inventory Management tracks posts, panels, rails, fabric, caps, gate hardware and bagged concrete across your yard, your trailers and your active sites. Job Costing subtracts labor and expenses from the contract price so you see the margin bar move while the job is still open.
Why fence contractors pick QuoteIQ: Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers are service business operators who built the platform from the field up rather than from a boardroom. Before & After AI renders a realistic preview of the finished fence from the actual photo of the yard, so the homeowner sees the cedar privacy line instead of imagining it. Contract Attachments keep HOA architectural approvals, permits, survey plats, utility locate tickets and material spec sheets riding along with the estimate. Pipelines & Deals keeps HOA community replacements, builder subdivision work, commercial perimeter bids and property-management accounts in separate boards with probability-weighted forecasting. And it all sits on one subscription — no per-user fees, no required integrations.
Fencing rides the same demand curve as the rest of construction. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Value of Construction Put in Place survey placed total construction spending at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,157.6 billion in July 2026, with private work carrying the majority of it (Census Bureau). Meanwhile the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for construction laborers and helpers to grow 6% from 2025 to 2035, with roughly 137,000 openings a year (BLS). Demand is there; crew capacity is the constraint. Software that removes an hour of office work per install is capacity you do not have to hire.
Every CRM claims to work for contractors. The difference shows up in the details a fence builder actually touches every day — linear-foot tiering, satellite layout, post and panel counts, HOA paperwork and gate upsells. Below are twelve capabilities that make QuoteIQ the best fence contractor software in 2026, each labeled with the plan that unlocks it so you are never guessing what you are buying. If you want to sanity-check your own numbers first, the free fence cost calculator and the wider home service business calculators are open to anyone.
Options Estimates present Good / Better / Best as a material decision. A single 160-foot backyard run can go out as galvanized chain link with terminal posts and top rail, six-foot pressure-treated wood privacy with dog-ear pickets and 4×4 posts set in concrete, or six-foot vinyl privacy with aluminum-insert rails and flat-top caps. You set every number; the customer compares styles side by side and approves one on their phone.
MapMeasure Pro measures property boundaries, planned runs, setbacks and gate positions from aerial imagery inside estimate creation. Drawing tools handle irregular shapes, measurements save to the customer profile and export straight into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of scope. The August 2026 release added a historical imagery timeline so you can scroll back through years of photos of the same property.
Inventory Management runs five modules — Products, Locations, Suppliers, Orders and Transactions. Track 4×4 and 6×6 posts by the piece, pre-assembled panels by size, vinyl sleeves and rails, chain link fabric by the roll, ornamental sections, caps, gate hardware and bagged concrete across your yard, each trailer and every active site. Reorder points flag low stock; stock deducts when the invoice is paid.
Job Costing works the arithmetic every fence builder does on a napkin: Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, shown with a profit-margin bar on the job’s Report tab. Labor pulls automatically from time tracking at each employee’s hourly rate, and Expense Tracking links material runs, auger rental and dump fees to the specific job instead of a monthly pile.
Before & After AI generates a realistic “after” image from the actual photo of the yard in roughly fifteen to twenty seconds and attaches it to any estimate type or invoice. Show an open backyard as a cedar privacy line with a matching arched walk gate, or a bare frontage as ornamental aluminum between stone pillars. Regeneration costs credits again, and every AI action previews its IQ Credit cost before it runs.
Contract Attachments bolt PDFs to the document itself: architectural review approvals, fence permits, survey plats showing boundary and setback, utility locate confirmations, material specification sheets and scope addendums. When an HOA specifies white vinyl at six feet with no visible fasteners, the signed approval travels with the contract and there is nothing to argue about after installation.
Standard Estimates and Package Estimates let a crew lead add a double drive gate, self-closing hinges, decorative caps, a lattice top course or a stain package while the customer is standing at the post line. Markup and discount controls, sub-item hierarchy and a Materials section keep the change order clean, and e-signatures close it on the customer’s phone before the crew packs up.
QuoteIQ Cam captures every phase — existing damage, property line markers, grade change, utility flags, holes drilled, posts plumbed and braced, concrete poured, rails hung, pickets set, gates adjusted, caps placed and the finished run. Photos organize by job and date with annotations, unlimited 4K cloud storage, custom inspection forms and a documentation archive on the contact record. Timestamps settle property-line disputes.
Package Estimates bundle services into one committed number: backyard privacy plus a side-yard dog run plus ornamental frontage, or fence plus two gates plus cap upgrade plus stain. Bundling is how you stop a homeowner from doing one side this year and “maybe the rest next year,” and it is the same tool that builds per-lot pricing when an HOA wants an entire community quoted at once.
AI Autopilot is conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text, with 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. “Move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer.” “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.” It runs from a phone with concrete dust on your hands. Inside a document, AI CoPilot edits line items, discounts, tax and deposits by chat instead of tapping.
The Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies the lead, filters spam, records and transcribes every call, and sends you a summary — with a knowledge base and agent voice you configure. It also runs outbound and simultaneous call campaigns. It is metered through IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute, so higher plans simply carry more talk time in their monthly allocation.
Pipelines & Deals — named “Deals” in the app — gives you Kanban and list views, stages carrying close-probability percentages, and weighted value calculated as amount multiplied by probability. Six-metric analytics cover total, weighted, open, closed-won, new and average deal age. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited, so residential, HOA, builder and commercial bids never share a board.
Here is what the #1 CRM for fence builder contractors looks like on a working Tuesday — two active installs, a consultation to close, a gate change order at the post line, and an HOA opportunity that could carry the back half of your year. Every figure below is an illustrative example using prices you would set yourself; QuoteIQ does not set your rates.
The QuoteIQ calendar opens on today’s scheduled visits, color-coded by status across a day, week, month or employee-timeline view. Site 1 is day two of a 200-foot vinyl privacy install: posts were set and the concrete cured overnight, so today is rails, pickets and caps. You check the trailer against Inventory — rail sections, pickets and caps all present. Site 2 is a new 120-foot wood privacy run across town needing sixteen posts, sixteen bags of concrete and fifteen pre-assembled eight-foot panels. Both crews clock in through Time Tracker Pro and GPS location tracking confirms them on site by 7:00, with the live map pausing on breaks and stopping at clock-out.
The Virtual Call Team answered a 7:15 PM call last night, qualified the caller — two dogs, backyard, no HOA — and dropped a transcript and summary in your notifications. You call back and set the consultation yourself. Before you drive, MapMeasure Pro measures the yard from satellite: roughly 160 feet across three sides with the house closing the fourth, a flat lot, no trees in the line, and an existing three-foot chain link to remove. At eight-foot spacing that is 21 line and terminal posts plus two gate posts. Property Street View confirms driveway-side trailer access, and Zillow Quick Access fills in lot details. You arrive already knowing the scope.
At the consultation you walk the line with a wheel — 158 feet, two feet off the satellite read — mark the gate, and shoot QuoteIQ Cam photos of the old chain link, the property stakes, the grade and the access point. Then the Options Estimate: chain link with new posts and top rail, wood privacy with dog-ear pickets and 4×4 posts in concrete, or vinyl privacy with aluminum-reinforced rails and flat-top caps — each with removal of the existing fence priced in. Before & After AI renders the cedar option on their actual yard. Scope of work and insurance certificate ride along as attachments, e-signature closes it, and a deposit lands through online payments. If the customer wants to spread it out, consumer financing through Affirm covers up to $30,000 per job on three-to-thirty-six-month terms and you are paid in full up front.
You swing by Site 2. Sixteen holes drilled, posts set, concrete poured, everything plumbed and braced; Cam logs the progress. The homeowner walks out: can we add a double drive gate on the south side for the riding mower, and should this be stained? You build a Standard Estimate on the spot for the gate with heavy-duty hinges and drop rod, a semi-transparent stain across the whole run, and self-closing spring hinges on the walk gate. It goes out through ClientHub from your dedicated business number, comes back signed in minutes, and Job Costing immediately re-runs the margin with the crew already on site and the posts already in the ground.
An HOA board president wants deteriorating wood privacy fences replaced across a 45-home community in one standardized style and color. You pull the subdivision in MapMeasure Pro, measure three representative lots to establish an average run, and build a per-home Package Estimate with a community-wide rate against your retail per-home rate so the board can see exactly what committing to the whole community saves them. Material spec sheet, photos from completed installs, insurance certificate and a phased schedule attach to the document. You create the deal in Pipelines & Deals with a close probability, and the weighted value updates your forecast the moment you save it.
Site 1 finishes Friday. Final Cam photos run into the Before & After Photo Editor for a transformation image worth more than any brochure. The final invoice goes out with an embedded checkout — card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay online, cash and check recorded in the app — and stock deducts from Inventory when it is paid. Review Multiplier fires the review request. Recurring maintenance customers move onto invoice subscriptions, and business analytics closes the week with revenue by service and employee, conversion rate, average ticket and pipeline value on one dashboard.
That whole sequence — two live installs, a change order signed at the post line, a consultation closed with a rendered preview, and a community-scale bid built from satellite imagery — runs on one subscription. No separate photo app. No second phone line. No spreadsheet of post counts. One CRM built for fence builder contractors.
Fence estimating fails in two directions. Price the run too thin and you eat the concrete, the demolition and the slope. Price it too fat with no visible alternative and the homeowner shops it. QuoteIQ solves both with four estimate types that cover every situation a fence builder walks into.
Quick Estimates handle the simple stuff — a twelve-foot section blown down in a storm, a gate rehung, a post reset. Standard Estimates are the line-item workhorse: posts, panels, rails, hardware, demolition, haul-off and labor each carry their own line, with sub-item hierarchy for parent-child breakdowns and a Materials section that links straight to your inventory products so unit costs stay current. Options Estimates are the tier document — the one that turns a material question into a customer choice. Package Estimates bundle scopes into a single committed number for full-property work or per-lot community pricing.
Every type carries the same working parts: photos and notes on line items, terms and conditions and your license number on the PDF, custom branding, deposit requirements, markup and discount controls including one-action Mark Up All, real-time totals, one-tap conversion to an invoice, view and status tracking, and delivery by SMS, email, PDF or link. Draft mode with continuous autosave means a dead phone at the tailgate does not cost you the estimate. Expiration dates keep a spring quote from being accepted in September at spring prices. Estimate Templates let you save your standard six-foot cedar build once and reuse it forever, and you can hide individual line prices or all of them when a customer only needs the bottom line.
On top of that sits Proposal+, available on every plan: an estimate can go out as a full branded proposal carrying your company story, service list, photo gallery, documents and customer reviews, previewed before sending and saveable as a template. Proposal sends cost 100 IQ Credits each and are free on the trial and on the Elite and Max plans. A separate Custom Document Label setting lets you rename your estimates “Estimate,” “Proposal” or “Quote” company-wide — worth knowing they are two different things so your team uses the right one. When you want a starting number before you build any of it, run the fence cost calculator or the concrete cost calculator for the footing side of the job.
Windshield time is a real line item on fence work, because material runs and site visits stack up fast. The IRS raised the business standard mileage rate to 76 cents per mile effective July 1, 2026, up from 72.5 cents for the first half of the year (IRS). At that rate, a truck running 1,000 business miles a month is carrying $760 of deductible operating cost — which is exactly the kind of number expense tracking and route optimization exist to protect. Route Optimization cuts drive time by 15–30%.
The single biggest time drain in residential fencing is the drive to a property to find out whether the job is worth quoting. MapMeasure Pro removes most of those trips. It lives inside estimate creation rather than in a separate app, so you measure and price in the same motion: property boundaries, planned runs, setback distances, gate positions and irregular shapes using the drawing tools. Measurements save to the customer profile and export into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of measured scope so nobody relitigates the footage later.
Two companions round it out at the same plan level. Property Street View shows you the approach: where the trailer parks, whether there is gate access to the backyard, how tight the side yard is for a walk-behind auger. Zillow Quick Access pulls lot context without leaving the estimate. The August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline — scroll back through years of photos of the same property, which is genuinely useful when a homeowner claims a fence line has “always been there” or when you need to see what was in the yard before a pool went in. Roof pitch calculation ships in the same tool for the crews that also sell roofing.
Field verification still matters. Satellite gets you to a scope and a material list; the wheel and the locate flags get you to a contract. That is why the workflow pairs measurement with inspection forms and photo documentation at the site visit, and why OSHA’s construction standard requires that utility owners be contacted and underground installations located before excavation begins under 1926.651(b)(2) — every post hole on every job (OSHA). Your locate ticket becomes an attachment on the job, and the flag photos live in Cam with a timestamp.
Fencing is a materials business wearing a service business costume. A single wood privacy job touches posts, panels or pickets and rails, bagged concrete, gravel, gate hardware, fasteners, caps and often stain — and half of it is sitting on a trailer somewhere. Inventory Management on the Elite plan runs five connected modules that map cleanly onto that reality.
Materials on estimates and invoices link back to products so pricing stays current when your supplier moves on cedar again. One rule worth committing to memory: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, not when a job is marked complete, and a deposit does not count as paid — stock does not move on a deposit unless you use the deduct option on that screen. Inventory analytics then show value on hand, usage over time and category views, which is how you find out you are quietly carrying eleven hundred dollars of the wrong picket.
Costing sits on top. Job Costing on Pro and above puts a Report tab on every job: Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, with a margin bar. Labor is not a guess — it pulls the hourly rate against clocked hours from time tracking. Expenses link to the job through Expense Tracking, which categorizes spend, stores receipts and exports to CSV, with an Hourly Rate Calculator sitting under Business Calculators so your labor rate reflects the truck, the insurance and the overhead rather than wishful thinking. For office reconciliation, the QuickBooks Online integration syncs invoices, payments, customers and expense categories with duplicate-sync locks.
Crew cost is the number that decides whether a linear-foot price works. The BLS reports a median annual wage of $59,540 in May 2025 across construction and extraction occupations — above the $50,980 median for all occupations — with roughly 587,000 openings projected each year across the group (BLS). Fence builders competing for those workers cannot afford unbilled hours. Time Tracker Pro captures GPS clock-in and clock-out, per-job hours, and break counts and durations in reports and CSV export, with admin-only manual adjustments and a full edit history.
More fence disputes come out of paperwork than out of workmanship. A homeowner remembers a six-foot fence; the HOA approved five. A neighbor insists the line runs two feet the other way. A city inspector wants the permit that someone left in a truck. Every one of those is a documentation problem, and documentation is cheap compared to moving a fence.
Contract Attachments put the paperwork on the document instead of in a folder: architectural review approvals, fence permits, survey plats with boundary and setback, utility locate confirmations, material spec sheets, color samples and scope-of-work addendums. E-Signatures let the customer sign on their phone, and editing an estimate after it has been sent automatically voids the outstanding signature request, so nobody accidentally holds a signature against superseded scope. QuoteIQ Cam carries custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections, so a pre-install condition report becomes a repeatable document rather than a set of loose photos.
On the safety side, the requirement is not optional. OSHA’s construction standard requires utility owners to be contacted within customary local response times and asked to establish the location of underground installations before excavation starts (OSHA trenching and excavation). For a fence crew that is every post hole on every job — irrigation, low-voltage lighting, gas runs to a grill, and the buried service line nobody documented. Photograph the flags, attach the ticket, and the one time it goes wrong you have a record. The U.S. Small Business Administration covers the surrounding obligations — insurance, recordkeeping and licensing — that decide whether a fence company survives its first claim.
Once the job is sold, the Client Portal on Pro and above gives the customer a branded, per-customer secure link with no app download and no account to create. They can view and approve estimates, view and pay invoices, see appointments and inspections, submit service requests, and leave a review. Everything is toggleable globally and per customer, an Activity tab shows when they viewed what, and incoming requests can be accepted, declined or converted straight into an estimate or a scheduled job.
A growing fence company is really two or three companies stacked: a demolition and post-setting operation, a panel and gate operation, and an estimating operation, all sharing trailers. EmployeeHub on Elite and above is where that gets coordinated.
GPS Location Tracking shows a live team map while employees are clocked in, pauses on breaks, stops at clock-out and verifies clock-in location — and clocked-out employees are never shown on any map. Time Tracker Pro handles GPS clock in and out with per-job hours. Team Communication runs one-on-one and group chats with job and event assignment, so the panel crew is not calling you to ask which side the gate goes on. Roles and permissions — overhauled in the August 2026 release with clearer gates and calendar permissions properly separated — control who sees what; permission-restricted users see shortcut cards rather than the full dashboard.
Two things sit above that at the Max level: the Sales Team Tracker with commission percentage per rep, conversion and cycle metrics and year-to-date leaderboards, and Crew creation, tracking and scheduling with crew-level analytics and routing. Two honest limitations worth knowing before you buy: there is no automatic overtime calculation and no native payroll — hours export cleanly to whatever payroll system you already run.
Fence crews burn daylight between the yard, the supply house and the site. Route Optimization sequences the day’s stops for minimum drive time, accounts for appointment windows and job duration, recalculates when a late add comes in, and hands off to GPS navigation — cutting drive time 15–30%. Route Density answers the other half of the question by showing where your work clusters, so you book the next week’s consultations into a zone instead of across a county. Density tells you where; Optimization tells you in what order.
The fence companies that scale past a two-crew ceiling stop selling one backyard at a time. They build repeatable channels where a single relationship produces a run of work, and they track those relationships in Pipelines & Deals rather than in a phone’s call history.
HOA community replacement programs. Every subdivision with aging wood privacy fences eventually faces a coordinated replacement, and boards want one contractor who can standardize material, height and color across the whole community. Keep each HOA in its own pipeline stage from first contact through board vote, quote per-home with Package Estimates, and let weighted forecasting tell you what the board meeting is actually worth. Email and text automations — event-triggered, multi-step, with personalization tags, and buildable by describing what you want in plain language — send spring fence assessment offers to board contacts without you remembering to.
Builder and developer subdivision work. New construction needs a fence sub on every lot before closing, and builders who find a reliable one stop shopping. Standing rate agreements plus saved estimate templates mean you can turn a sub bid around the same afternoon it lands. Track each builder as its own pipeline with its own stages, and use the client database with mass contact import to keep every superintendent and project manager reachable.
Commercial perimeter and property management. Warehouses, storage facilities, apartment complexes, schools and parks all carry fence that ages on a schedule and fails on a liability clock. One property management relationship can generate recurring repair and replacement work across a whole portfolio. Mass text and email campaigns segment past commercial clients by tag for a spring assessment push — note that campaigns run through gateways you connect yourself, Twilio for SMS with A2P 10DLC registration and SendGrid for email, so carrier fees are yours. For customers who self-serve, InstaQuote lets them build their own quote from your service library and InstaSchedule books them against your real calendar availability around the clock.
The reason QuoteIQ ranks first for fence builder contractors is not only the fencing-specific tooling. It is that one plan replaces the stack most fence companies are currently paying for separately — a photo documentation app, a second phone line, a spreadsheet of post counts, a standalone measuring tool and a proposal builder. Everything below is in the platform, with no required integrations and no per-user fees.

Browse the whole set on the features hub, or start with the fence installation software page for the trade view.
Fence builders shopping this category usually land on the same shortlist: Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan, often paired with a separate photo app such as CompanyCam. Those platforms publish and revise their own plan structures, add-on charges and per-seat rules on their own sites, and they change them, so the only responsible advice is to price your exact seat count and required add-ons directly on each vendor’s pricing page before you commit — a quoted headline rate rarely survives contact with per-user fees and add-ons. Two things are worth comparing on your own worksheet: the total once photo documentation, a business phone line and measurement tooling are added in, and whether the platform charges per user as your crew grows. QuoteIQ does not charge per user, and the tools above are in the plan rather than bolted on. Side-by-side breakdowns live on the comparison hub, and if enterprise pricing is on your shortlist the ServiceTitan pricing calculator is a useful reality check before a sales call.
Every QuoteIQ plan includes all four estimate types, Options pricing, Proposal+, scheduling, invoicing, online payments, consumer financing, e-signatures and the AI suite with a monthly IQ Credit allocation. Annual billing runs at ten months for twelve. For most fence companies with a crew or two and an estimator, Pro is the practical starting point because that is where ClientHub, job costing, the client portal and QuickBooks Online come in. Companies bidding HOA and commercial work generally need Elite for pipelines, inventory and EmployeeHub.
Add-ons are short and predictable: the AI Website Builder runs $34.99/month and is included on Max, additional businesses are a paid add-on with four included on Max, and Done-For-You setup — contact import, price book build and a one-on-one onboarding session — comes in two tiers at $299.99 and $999.99. IQ Credit top-up packs exist for teams that lean hard on AI, but the core CRM never requires them. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial of the plan you choose.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for fence builder contractors in 2026, starting at $29.99 per month for the Essentials plan. It is the only platform that puts tiered material pricing, satellite fence-line measurement and material inventory in the same subscription rather than across three separate tools. Options Estimates present chain link, wood privacy, vinyl and ornamental aluminum side by side on one document so the customer chooses a material instead of shopping contractors. MapMeasure Pro measures boundaries, planned runs and gate locations from aerial imagery before the site visit. Inventory Management tracks posts, panels, fabric, caps and bagged concrete across the yard, each trailer and every active site. Job Costing shows profit per job with a live margin bar, and QuoteIQ Cam documents every phase in 4K. More than 40,000 contractors use the platform, which holds a 4.7 rating across 4,103 reviews. Demand context from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: about 137,000 construction laborer and helper openings are projected each year through 2035.
QuoteIQ costs $29.99 per month for Essentials with one user and 500 IQ Credits, $74.99 for Beginner with two users and 1,500 credits, $149.99 for Pro with four users and 3,000 credits, $299 for Elite with ten users and 5,000 credits, and $699 for Max with unlimited users and 8,000 credits. Annual billing charges ten months for twelve, so Elite runs $2,990 a year. There are no per-user fees inside a plan’s seat count and no required integrations. Add-ons are limited: the AI Website Builder is $34.99 per month and included on Max, and Done-For-You setup comes in two tiers at $299.99 and $999.99. Most fence companies with one or two crews land on Pro because that tier unlocks job costing and a dedicated business phone number; companies bidding HOA and commercial work generally need Elite for pipelines and inventory. Full plan detail lives on the pricing page. For budgeting the operating side, the IRS business standard mileage rate rose to 76 cents per mile effective July 1, 2026.
Yes — Options Estimates are included on every QuoteIQ plan starting at $29.99 per month, and they exist specifically for this. One document can carry a galvanized chain link build with terminal posts and top rail, a six-foot pressure-treated wood privacy build with dog-ear pickets and 4×4 posts set in concrete, and a six-foot vinyl privacy build with aluminum-insert rails and flat-top caps, each priced across the same measured run with removal of the existing fence included. You set every rate; the customer compares finished styles rather than comparing you against another bidder. Before & After AI renders each option on a photo of the customer’s actual yard in roughly fifteen to twenty seconds. Package Estimates then bundle fence, gates, caps and stain into one committed number, and e-signatures close it on the customer’s phone. If you want a neutral starting figure before building tiers, the free fence cost calculator is open to anyone. Pricing discipline matters more as costs move: the Census Bureau tracked construction at a $2,157.6 billion annual rate in July 2026.
Yes — MapMeasure Pro is included from the $74.99 Beginner plan upward and measures property boundaries, planned fence runs, setback distances and gate positions from aerial imagery inside estimate creation rather than in a separate app. Drawing tools handle irregular lots, measurements save to the customer profile and export directly into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of measured scope. The August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline, so you can scroll back through years of photos of the same property when a fence line is disputed. Property Street View shows trailer access and side-yard clearance, and Zillow Quick Access fills in lot context from the same screen. Field verification still governs the contract, and it must include utility locates: OSHA’s construction standard requires underground installations to be located before excavation begins (OSHA). Attach the locate ticket through contract attachments and photograph the flags in QuoteIQ Cam.
Yes — Inventory Management is included on the $299 Elite plan and above, and it runs five connected modules. Products carries SKU, category, unit, cost and reorder point with In Stock, Low and Out indicators plus visible margin. Locations covers the yard, each truck or trailer and every active job site holding staged material. Suppliers records who you buy which post from. Orders moves Draft to Confirmed to Received, with receiving automatically creating receipt transactions. Transactions logs every movement as Receipt, Returned, Issued, Damaged, Loss or Adjustment. Materials on estimates and invoices link back to products so unit pricing stays current. One rule to remember: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, and a deposit does not count as paid unless you use the deduct option on that screen. Inventory analytics then show value on hand, usage and category views, which pairs directly with job costing and expense tracking. The SBA covers the surrounding recordkeeping obligations.
Use Job Costing, included on the $149.99 Pro plan and above. Every job gets a Report tab running Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, displayed with a profit-margin bar you can read at a glance while the job is still open. Labor is not estimated — it pulls each employee’s hourly rate against clocked hours from Time Tracker Pro, which captures GPS clock in and out, per-job hours, and break counts and durations with admin-only manual adjustments and a full edit history. Material runs, auger rental and dump fees attach to the job through Expense Tracking with receipts and CSV export. An Hourly Rate Calculator inside Business Calculators helps set a labor rate that actually carries the truck and the insurance, and business analytics rolls it up by service, customer, employee and crew. The BLS puts the median construction and extraction wage at $59,540 as of May 2025 — the number that decides whether a linear-foot price works.
Yes — Contract Attachments are included from the $74.99 Beginner plan upward and put the paperwork on the document itself rather than in a folder somebody has to find later. Attach architectural review approvals, fence permits, survey plats showing boundary and setback, utility locate confirmations, material specification sheets, color samples and scope-of-work addendums. When an HOA specifies white vinyl at six feet with no visible fasteners, the signed approval travels with the contract, which is what ends the argument after installation. E-Signatures start at Essentials and let customers sign on their phone; editing an estimate after sending automatically voids the outstanding signature request so no signature ever attaches to superseded scope. QuoteIQ Cam adds custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections for pre-install condition reports, and the Client Portal gives the customer a secure link to view everything. Locate requirements are federal-standard: see OSHA 1926.651.
Yes — every QuoteIQ plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, and a credit or debit card is required to start. One trial is available per person, per business and per payment method. The trial converts to paid at the selected plan’s rate unless you cancel before it expires, and you can cancel at any point during the trial. Choosing the right plan to trial matters for fence work: Beginner at $74.99 is the first tier with MapMeasure Pro and QuoteIQ Cam, Pro at $149.99 adds job costing and ClientHub, and Elite at $299 adds pipelines and inventory. Moving off another CRM is handled by AI Smart Import, which maps a CSV from most platforms automatically. Proposal sends are free during the trial. If you are still shaping the business side, the SBA offers free counseling through its resource partner network.
A short walkthrough of estimating, scheduling, invoicing and getting paid inside QuoteIQ — the same flow a fence crew runs between the post line and the truck.
Watch Video →Create the account and pick the tier you actually need rather than the cheapest one — Beginner for satellite measurement and photo documentation, Pro for job costing and a business phone number, Elite for pipelines, inventory and crew tracking. The trial gives full access to the features of the plan you choose, so testing on the wrong tier tests the wrong product.
AI Smart Import maps a CSV export from most CRMs automatically, and you can pull contacts from your phone. Then build the price book around how you actually sell: per-linear-foot lines by material and height, post and concrete lines, demolition and haul-off, gate hardware, and stain. Save a standard estimate template for your most common build so the next quote takes minutes.
Run MapMeasure Pro before the consultation, then build an Options Estimate with three material tiers and a rendered before-and-after preview. Attach your insurance certificate and scope through contract attachments and send it with e-signature. Compare your close rate against the flat single-price quotes you sent last month.
Have crews clock in through Time Tracker Pro so job costing has real labor hours, shoot every phase in QuoteIQ Cam, and switch on Review Multiplier so a finished fence turns into a public review. Then read business analytics at month end and price the next quarter off real margins.
