Two field service platforms, two completely different philosophies about how contractors should buy software. One publishes every price on a public page. The other builds a seat-based quote around your team. Here is the honest, feature-by-feature breakdown — pricing, estimates, invoicing, scheduling, CRM, GPS, mobile, photo documentation, employee management, reporting, and integrations — so you can pick the platform that fits how you actually run jobs.
QuoteIQ publishes every plan price on a public page and starts at $29.99/month; FieldPulse uses seat-based pricing delivered through a custom quote. That single difference shapes everything else. With QuoteIQ you can price your stack in about thirty seconds on the pricing page — five tiers from $29.99 to $699 per month, with satellite measurement, photo documentation, AI estimating, route tools, and employee tracking arriving as plan inclusions rather than line items. With FieldPulse you book a conversation, describe your team, and receive a number built around full-access and field-only seats. Neither approach is wrong. But contractors who want to know their total cost before talking to anyone — and who want MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, and Route Optimization included in the tier price — will find QuoteIQ the simpler decision.
TL;DR: QuoteIQ runs $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 per month across five published tiers, each with a 14-day free trial of that plan's features and a monthly allowance of IQ Credits for AI work. FieldPulse quotes seat-based pricing after a demo, with premium products priced separately — confirm your number on their own pricing page. Where QuoteIQ pulls ahead for most home-service crews is bundled depth: satellite measurement inside the estimate, InstaQuote self-quoting, InstaSchedule self-booking, ClientHub calling and texting, job costing, route density, and EmployeeHub GPS tracking. Ground your budget in real numbers first — the BLS median wage for plumbers was $62,970 in May 2024, and the SBA Business Guide is the sane starting point for cost planning.
The biggest structural difference between these two platforms shows up before you ever create an estimate. It is how each company answers the question every contractor asks first: what does this cost me every month?
FieldPulse's own pricing page describes a seat-based model. You buy a set number of seats for your contract term, and the rate depends on what each seat needs to reach — full-access seats cover the complete back office, while field-only seats are for technicians who work exclusively from the mobile app. The company groups capability into three packages, Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise, and layers premium products such as its phone system, fleet tracking, pricebook, and AI dispatching on top. FieldPulse does not publish dollar figures; the page asks you to request a quote so the number can be built around your team size and setup. Third-party review sites list wildly different estimates for FieldPulse, and the company addresses their accuracy directly in its own pricing FAQ — which is exactly why you should get your number from FieldPulse and nowhere else.
QuoteIQ takes the opposite approach. Every plan, every price, every user count, and every monthly IQ Credit allowance sits on the public pricing page. No form, no discovery call, no "starting at" asterisk. Annual billing runs at ten months for twelve. Here is the whole ladder.
A ten-person crew on QuoteIQ Elite pays $299/month flat — $29.90 per seat — and that price already contains Route Optimization, Route Density, EmployeeHub with GPS tracking, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, Pipelines & Deals, Inventory Management, and Mass Campaigns. On Max at $699/month, seat count stops mattering entirely — it is unlimited users at a flat price, plus Sales Team Tracker, crew creation and scheduling, and the AI Website Builder included.
Plan inclusion is where comparisons usually go wrong, so here is the honest version. Essentials at $29.99 is a complete solo operation: all four estimate types — Standard, Quick, Options, and Package — plus invoicing, recurring invoice subscriptions, scheduling, the client database, e-signatures, tips on invoices, consumer financing, business calculators, data export, and the whole AI suite running on 500 monthly IQ Credits.
Beginner at $74.99 adds the field-documentation layer — MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms, expense tracking, contract attachments, mass invoicing, advanced business analytics, and custom branding.
Pro at $149.99 is where most growing crews land. It unlocks ClientHub — a dedicated business number with two-way calling and texting synced across every device — plus email and text automations, on-the-way texts, website contact forms, the Client Portal, Job Costing, the hourly rate calculator, and the QuickBooks Online integration. Elite and Max layer on the self-service, routing, inventory, and team-scale tooling above.
Every plan carries a monthly IQ Credit allowance — 500, 1,500, 3,000, 5,000, and 8,000 credits from Essentials up to Max — that resets each billing cycle and powers the AI tools. There is no separate AI add-on subscription. Since April 2026 every AI action shows its credit cost and asks for confirmation before it runs, so nothing draws down silently. IQ Credits have no cash value and are non-transferable.
Software line items are rarely the whole story on a field service platform. Before you sign anything — with FieldPulse, with QuoteIQ, or with anyone else on the comparison hub — get written answers to these five, because they are where budgets quietly break:
If you want to model the numbers rather than guess at them, the free home-service business calculators will get you to a defensible monthly figure, and the enterprise pricing calculator is a useful sanity check if you are also weighing a large enterprise platform. The SBA Business Guide covers the wider operating-cost picture that software sits inside.
Both platforms sell themselves as all-in-one field service management. The useful comparison is not which one has more logos on a feature grid — it is which one does the specific things your crew touches forty times a day. Below, ten categories, with what FieldPulse documents on its own site and exactly what QuoteIQ ships, tier by tier.
Publishes an Estimates & Invoices product page plus a separate Pricebook product, which its pricing page lists among the premium capabilities. Confirm on their site which package your quote includes the pricebook in.
The QuoteIQ estimate builder carries photos, notes, terms and conditions, and your license number onto the PDF; deposit requirements; markup and discount controls including a one-action "Mark Up All"; real-time totals; one-tap conversion to an invoice; and conversion of an accepted estimate straight into a recurring subscription. Draft mode with continuous autosave means a dead phone battery in someone's driveway does not cost you the quote. Sub-items give you parent-child line hierarchy for complex scopes. A Materials section links line items to Inventory products so pricing stays current. Estimate templates, expiration dates, and the ability to hide individual or all line-item prices round it out. Send by SMS, email, PDF, or shareable link, and track views and status per team member.
Two things separate this from a standard quoting module. First, MapMeasure Pro lives inside estimate creation from the Beginner plan up, so you measure a roof, lawn, driveway, deck, or fence from satellite imagery without leaving the quote — and the screenshot attaches as visual proof of scope. Second, e-signatures start at Essentials, so customers approve on their phone from your cheapest tier. QuoteIQ also ships Proposal+, a full branded proposal document with your company story, service list, photo gallery, documents, and customer reviews, available on every plan and free to send during the trial and on Elite and Max.
Trades that quote by area feel this one hardest. Instead of driving to measure, you pull the property up, draw the scope, and send the quote — the same day the lead came in. Roof segments are auto-detected with color-coded pitch, and the August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline so you can scroll back through years of photos of a property before you price it.
Documents Estimates & Invoices, FieldPulse Payments, FieldPulse Financing, and Maintenance Agreements as product pages. Ask for your specific processing terms in writing as part of the quote.
One-tap estimate-to-invoice on every plan, with Invoice Subscriptions handling weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and seasonal recurring billing including full discount, tax, fee, and deposit math.
Customers pay by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, or Google Pay online, and you can record cash and checks manually in the app. Checkout is embedded on the page rather than a redirect, cards on file appear on the customer profile, and ACH is a toggle in Bank Details. Automated payment reminders run on timing you choose; Net 15, 30, 60, and 90 terms are supported; partial payments and deposits work; and tips are collected at online checkout. Mass invoicing from the jobs dashboard or calendar arrives at Beginner. Invoice templates and expiration dates shipped in August 2026, alongside refreshed PDFs with material summaries and a complete audit trail.
Consumer financing is worth a separate look, because it sits on every plan including the trial and it is independent of which payment processor your account runs on. Affirm covers jobs up to $30,000 with terms from 3 to 36 months in the US and Canada. Klarna offers Pay-in-4, Pay-in-30, and longer terms. Afterpay handles Pay-in-4 on smaller tickets. The customer applies at checkout in about thirty seconds and gets an instant decision; you are paid in full up front and the provider owns collections and default risk. For a plumber quoting a sewer line replacement or an HVAC contractor selling a full system changeout, that is often the difference between a signed job and a "let me think about it."
On the subscription side, QuoteIQ processes new accounts through Whop. Accounts established earlier on Stripe may remain on Stripe or migrate to Whop, and that migration runs one direction only. Mobile subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are governed and cancelled through the store. If you are still building out your paperwork, the free contractor invoice template and the construction invoice template are a fast way to standardize before you migrate. The IRS Guide to Business Expense Resources covers the recordkeeping side of the same job.
Ships Scheduling & Dispatching, Scheduling & Routing, Job Management, and Work Order Management pages, plus a Booking Portal. Worth demoing the dispatch board on a phone, not just a desktop.
Drag-and-drop scheduling across day, week, month, and employee-timeline views, colour-coded by status, on every plan — with a GEO-Schedule map view that plots the day geographically.
Multi-day jobs render as continuous events. Schedule Later lets you create a job with no date and assign it once the customer confirms. You can drag a single occurrence out of a recurring series without disturbing the rest. Completed jobs carry a green border and badge, the calendar filters by employee and by crew, and you can mass-invoice everything you finished straight from the calendar view. Automated SMS and email appointment reminders cut no-shows, time blocking protects travel and lunch, and Google Calendar syncs two ways. On-the-way texts arrive at Pro, and route-density filtering inside the calendar comes with Elite.
One vocabulary note that matters when you are comparing demos: as of the August 2026 release, what QuoteIQ calls a "job" in the app is the scheduled visit, and the older records are now "job forms." If a salesperson uses the words differently, ask them to point at the screen.
Documents Customer Management, Customer Communication, Customer Sites Management, Customer Portal, and Asset Management. Multi-site and asset tracking are the areas to press on if you run commercial contracts.
A client database with automatic service history, mass contact import, lead source tracking, tagging, and — new in August 2026 — multiple contacts attached to a single job.
That multiple-contacts change is quietly significant for property managers and commercial accounts: emails, texts, automations, and on-the-way notifications fan out to every contact on the job rather than one. From Pro, ClientHub gives the business a dedicated phone number with two-way calling and texting inside QuoteIQ from phone, tablet, or computer, every conversation saved to the customer profile, real-time notifications, and call routing that sends incoming calls by time of day, caller, or availability to a team member, an external number, or the AI answering team. The Client Portal, also Pro, gives each customer a branded, secure link with no app download — estimates to review and approve, invoices to view and pay, appointments, inspections, service requests, and a review link, with every section toggleable globally or per customer.
At Elite, Pipelines & Deals adds a proper visual CRM: Kanban and list views, stages with close-probability percentages, weighted value calculated as amount times probability, six-metric analytics covering total, weighted, open, closed-won, new, and average deal age, multi-assignee support, attachments, internal notes, and priority and owner filters. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited.
Fleet Tracking appears on the pricing page under premium products rather than as a package inclusion. Ask specifically whether it is inside your quoted seat rate or priced separately.
Route Optimization, Route Density, and GPS location tracking are all inside the Elite plan price — no per-vehicle line item.
Route Optimization sequences the day's stops for minimum drive time, accounts for appointment windows and job duration, recalculates when a same-day add-on lands, hands off to GPS navigation, and is crew-aware. QuoteIQ's own figure for the effect is a 15–30% reduction in drive time. Route Density answers a different question — it shows you where your work clusters, so you can plan a zone for the day and target marketing at the zip codes that tighten your routes. Density tells you where; Optimization tells you what order.
GPS location tracking shows the live team map while people are clocked in, pauses on breaks, stops at clock-out, overlays traffic, and verifies clock-in location. One rule QuoteIQ does not bend: clocked-out employees never appear on any map, ever.
Drive time is the most expensive thing on a service truck that nobody invoices. With the BLS median wage for HVAC mechanics at $59,810 in May 2024 — roughly $28.75 an hour before burden — trimming an hour of windshield time per tech per day across a five-person crew is real money recovered every single week.
Publishes a dedicated Mobile App page and offers field-only seats for technicians who work exclusively from their phones. Test offline behaviour in a basement or a rural service area during your trial period.
Full iOS, Android, and web parity — everything the back office can do, the truck can do — rated 4.7 across 4,103 reviews and used by 40,000+ contractors.
Parity is the claim worth testing on any platform. On QuoteIQ, estimate creation, satellite measurement, photo capture and 4K upload, invoicing, payment collection, scheduling, clock in and out, messaging, and the full AI suite all run from the phone; the web app works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Dark mode, multi-currency display, and a suggest-a-feature vote are in there too. Draft mode and continuous autosave on estimates exist precisely because field connectivity is unreliable everywhere — that is the design answer to a shaky signal rather than a promise that signal problems never happen.
Lists CompanyCam among its integration partners and ships Custom Forms as a premium product. If photo documentation is core to your trade, confirm whether it comes from a partner subscription or the base platform.
QuoteIQ Cam is built in from the Beginner plan — capture or upload, organized by job and date, with unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage.
Cam handles before-and-after comparisons, annotations, custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections, job reports, attachments onto quotes and invoices, and shareable customer galleries — all archived to the customer's documentation record. The Before & After Photo Editor produces the side-by-side that closes premium work, and Before & After AI generates a realistic preview of the finished result from the actual photo in about fifteen to twenty seconds, attachable to any estimate type or invoice.
The practical value is protective as much as promotional. Documenting pre-existing damage before you start — a cracked pane, a stained soffit, a scuffed jamb — is the cheapest insurance in field service, and it costs nothing extra once photo storage is inside the plan you already bought.
Offers role-based access and timekeeping, and lists QuickBooks among its accounting integrations. Worth confirming how time entries reach your payroll provider and what the permission tiers actually gate.
EmployeeHub at Elite bundles GPS tracking, Time Tracker Pro, and Team Communication into the plan price.
Time Tracker Pro handles GPS clock in and out, per-job hours, break counts and durations in reports and CSV, admin-only manual adjustments, and a full edit history. Team Communication gives you one-on-one and group chats with job and event assignment. Roles and permissions — overhauled in August 2026 with clearer gates and calendar permissions properly separated — control exactly what each person sees, and permission-restricted users get shortcut cards instead of the full dashboard. At Max you also get Sales Team Tracker with commission percentages per rep, leaderboards, and year-to-date figures, plus crew creation, tracking, and scheduling with crew-level analytics and routing.
Be clear-eyed about two limits. QuoteIQ does not calculate overtime automatically, and it does not run payroll — hours export to whatever payroll system you already use. If payroll is inside your must-have list, that is a real difference to weigh. Whichever platform you pick, the Department of Labor's recordkeeping requirements under the FLSA define the minimum your time records have to capture.
Publishes Dashboards & Reporting, a Reporting Software page, and a Job Costing page. Bring three reports you actually run today and ask them to build each one live during the demo.
Basic analytics on Essentials, advanced Business Analytics from Beginner, and per-job Job Costing from Pro.
The analytics dashboard is widget-customizable and covers revenue by service, customer, employee, and crew; outstanding versus collected; quotes sent, conversion rate, average ticket, and pipeline value; completion rate and job duration; and new customers, repeat rate, and lifetime value. Job Costing gives each job a Report tab that runs Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit with a margin bar — labour pulls automatically from time tracking at hourly rate times clocked hours, and expenses link to the job through expense tracking. Ask AI Reports and the IQ Terminal, added in July 2026, let you ask for a report conversationally instead of building it.
Maintains a public partners and integrations directory covering accounting, automation, communication, photo, fleet, financing, and answering services, with open API access listed at the Enterprise package.
QuickBooks Online at Pro, Google Calendar two-way sync, Google Reserve booking from Search and Maps, and AI Smart Import.
The QuickBooks integration is QuickBooks Online only — it syncs invoices, payments, customers, and expense categories, holds duplicate-sync locks, and auto-syncs missing customers before an estimate sync. The desktop edition is not supported, and any older page suggesting otherwise was wrong. AI Smart Import handles the migration itself: bring a CSV out of Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or any other CRM and the AI maps your columns automatically, or import straight from your phone contacts. A rebuilt import experience with mapping review, preview, and duplicate flagging is built server-side and lands in the app with the next release.
Also shipped and worth knowing about even though they have no marketing page: an Imports Hub, Lead Sources, an outbound webhooks API, and a custom post-payment redirect link. On the outbound marketing side, Mass Campaigns at Elite runs segmented SMS and email blasts through gateways you connect yourself — Twilio for SMS, including A2P 10DLC registration and carrier fees, and SendGrid for email. That is a genuine setup step, not a switch, and it is better to know before you buy.
FieldPulse has been investing here publicly — its site lists Operator AI for lead capture and booking, ClearPath for workflow design, and a Field Intelligence product. Those are documented on their own pages, and the sensible move is to ask which package each one lands in on your quote.
QuoteIQ's approach is different in structure: the AI suite is on every plan from $29.99 up, metered by the monthly IQ Credit allowance rather than gated behind a higher tier or sold as an add-on subscription. Three tools do three distinct jobs, and it is worth keeping them straight because they get blurred constantly in comparison articles.
AI Autopilot is conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text, spanning 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." In the app the interface is called Ask AI — same feature, different name.
AI Estimator analyses property photos, asks targeted follow-up questions, and generates market-accurate line-item pricing for your local area. Used once per new estimate, it is the fastest path from a customer's photo to a defensible number.
AI CoPilot lives inside estimate and invoice creation: add services, set discounts, change tax, draft a client message, add a deposit, mark items additional — through quick-action cards or free-form chat, in Auto Accept or Review mode.
Around those three sit the Virtual Call Team, an AI phone team that answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies leads, filters spam, works from a knowledge base and agent voice you customize, records and transcribes every call, and can run outbound and simultaneous call campaigns. It is priced per minute out of your IQ Credit allowance, which means it is genuinely minute-limited on the lower tiers — plan for that rather than assuming unlimited answering. Add AI Text Generator for one-tap professional messages anywhere in the app, AI Auto-Reply, Auto Complete suggestions in fields, AI AutoMeasure with a saved Measurement Library, and Ask AI Reports.
Since June 2026 you can describe an automation in plain language and QuoteIQ builds it — the sequence, the triggers, the timing. Email & Text Automations at Pro run event-triggered multi-step sequences with personalization tags, send timing from immediate out to 24 months, a dedicated queue pipeline that fires on schedule without duplicates, and a dashboard with Templates, Queue, and History tabs. Mike Vidan's pre-built follow-up sequence — first estimate through eleven-month follow-ups — imports in one click.
Every figure in the QuoteIQ column below comes from the live pricing page and plan pages. Every entry in the FieldPulse column reflects what FieldPulse publishes on its own site as of 28 August 2026 — which, on price, is deliberately a custom quote. Do not take a dollar figure for FieldPulse from any third party, including this page.

You will find articles quoting confident dollar figures for FieldPulse. We are not going to be one of them. FieldPulse's own pricing page does not publish rates and explicitly addresses the accuracy of third-party listings, so the only number that means anything is the one on your quote. Ask for it in writing, with the add-on list attached.
HVAC and plumbing. These are maintenance-agreement businesses as much as service businesses. Invoice Subscriptions handle the recurring side, financing gets big-ticket changeouts approved at the kitchen table, and Options estimates present repair-versus-replace tiers without a second visit. Start at the HVAC software page or the plumbing page, and price a job with the HVAC cost calculator or the HVAC invoice template.
Electrical, appliance repair, and garage doors. High call volume, short jobs, tight routes. ClientHub keeps the business number off personal phones, on-the-way texts cut the "where are you" calls, and Route Density shows where the day's work clusters. See the electrician, appliance repair, and garage door pages, and the electrical invoice template.
Exterior cleaning, lawn care, and landscaping. These trades live or die on measurement and route density. MapMeasure Pro measures the driveway, roof, or turf from satellite, and the recurring-visit calendar handles the season. The pressure washing, lawn care, and landscaping pages go deeper, and the lawn care cost calculator, pressure washing calculator, and landscaping invoice template are free.
Roofing, painting, remodeling, and general contracting. Longer sales cycles, bigger tickets, more documentation. This is where Pipelines & Deals with probability-weighted forecasting earns its keep, and where QuoteIQ Cam plus contract attachments protect the job. Try the roofing, painting, remodeling, and general contractor pages, plus the painting invoice template.
Cleaning, pest control, pool, tree care, and handyman work. Recurring routes and high customer counts. Automations plus the Client Portal cut the admin, and Review Multiplier keeps the review flow going without anyone remembering to ask. See house cleaning, pest control, pool service, tree care, and handyman, or browse all industries and the house cleaning invoice template.
Whichever platform you choose, be careful how you use its review tooling. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials took effect on 21 October 2024 and authorizes civil penalties for knowing violations. Automated review requests sent to every customer are fine; conditioning an incentive on a positive review is not. Read the FTC's own Q&A before you configure any request sequence.
For most home-service crews under fifty people, QuoteIQ is the better fit, largely because of what arrives inside the plan price rather than as a separate line. QuoteIQ publishes five tiers — $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 per month — and bundles MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement from $74.99, QuoteIQ Cam photo documentation with unlimited 4K storage from the same tier, and Route Optimization plus EmployeeHub GPS tracking inside the $299 Elite plan. FieldPulse is a strong platform for commercial and multi-location operations that need deep per-site asset tracking and heavy workflow customization, and it lets you buy cheaper field-only seats for technicians. Its pricing is seat-based and quoted rather than published, so the honest answer is that you should get a written quote from FieldPulse, compare it against the published QuoteIQ tier that matches your headcount, and check both against your real operating costs using the SBA Business Guide. See the full comparison hub for other platforms.
QuoteIQ costs $29.99 per month for Essentials with one user, $74.99 for Beginner with two, $149.99 for Pro with four, $299 for Elite with ten, and $699 for Max with unlimited users. Annual billing gives you two months free — $299.99, $749.99, $1,499.99, $2,990, and $6,990 respectively. Every figure is on the public pricing page, with no form to fill in. FieldPulse does not publish rates. Its pricing page describes a seat-based model with full-access and field-only seats purchased for a contract term, three packages, and premium products priced separately, and it directs you to request a custom quote. Third-party sites list very different estimates for FieldPulse and their pricing FAQ addresses that directly, so treat any figure you find elsewhere — including in comparison articles — as unreliable and get the number from FieldPulse. Model your side of the equation with the free business calculators and the IRS business expense resources.
They are included in the Elite plan at $299 per month with no per-vehicle charge and no separate subscription. Route Optimization sequences the day's stops for minimum drive time, respects appointment windows and job durations, recalculates when a same-day job lands, hands off to turn-by-turn navigation, and is crew-aware; QuoteIQ's figure for the effect is a 15–30% reduction in drive time. It works off the same calendar your day is already built on. Route Density is the companion tool that shows where your work clusters so you can plan zones and target marketing at the zip codes that tighten routes. GPS location tracking arrives through EmployeeHub and shows the live team map while people are clocked in, pausing on breaks and stopping at clock-out — clocked-out employees are never shown on any map. FieldPulse lists Fleet Tracking under premium products on its pricing page, so ask whether it is inside your seat rate. With the BLS median HVAC wage at $59,810, recovered drive time compounds fast.
Yes. Export your customer list as a CSV from your current platform and bring it into AI Smart Import, which maps your columns automatically — it is built to handle exports from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or any other CRM, and it can also import straight from your phone contacts. A rebuilt import experience with mapping review, a preview step, and duplicate flagging is finished server-side and reaches the app with the next release. Most crews rebuild the client database first, then the price book, then recurring jobs, then automations, and run both systems in parallel for two weeks. QuoteIQ also offers Done-For-You setup at $299.99 or $999.99 covering contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session. Data ownership runs the right way round: customers own their data and export is available on every plan, so you are never locked in. Ask any vendor the same question — the SBA Business Guide covers vendor due diligence.
It depends entirely on which version of QuickBooks you run, and this is the single most important thing to settle before you buy. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online only; the desktop edition is not supported. The integration is available from the Pro plan at $149.99 per month, the same tier that unlocks ClientHub, and syncs invoices, payments, customers, and expense categories, holds duplicate-sync locks to stop double entries, and auto-syncs missing customers before an estimate sync. FieldPulse lists QuickBooks among its accounting partners and gates accounting sync by package on its pricing page, so confirm which package yours falls in and which QuickBooks products are supported. If you are still on Desktop, that constraint should drive your shortlist before any feature comparison does. Either way, pair the sync with expense tracking and job costing so the numbers reconcile, and check the IRS guidance on business expense records for what your books actually have to show.
It is built in, and no second subscription is required. QuoteIQ Cam ships from the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month and covers in-app capture or camera-roll upload organized by job and date, before-and-after comparison views, annotations, custom inspection forms with templates and customizable PDF sections, job reports, attachment onto quotes and invoices, shareable customer galleries, and unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage that does not fill up the phone. Everything lands in the customer's documentation archive. The Before & After Photo Editor builds the side-by-side that sells premium work, and Before & After AI generates a realistic preview of the finished result from the actual photo in fifteen to twenty seconds. FieldPulse lists CompanyCam as an integration partner, which is a separate agreement — worth pricing into any comparison. Documenting pre-existing damage is also basic risk management under the FTC's advertising and substantiation expectations if you market those photos.
For one person, QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99 per month is a complete operation: all four estimate types, invoicing with recurring subscriptions, scheduling, the client database, e-signatures, consumer financing, and the full AI suite on 500 monthly IQ Credits. For two people, Beginner at $74.99 adds satellite measurement, photo documentation, expense tracking, and advanced analytics — the tier most two-truck operations actually need. Seat-based pricing models tend to work against very small teams, because the per-seat rate does not fall as headcount falls, which is why solo operators often find published tier pricing cheaper. Whichever you pick, get your hourly rate right first with the business calculators, and check what your trade actually pays — the BLS puts the median plumber wage at $62,970 as of May 2024.
Yes. Every QuoteIQ plan includes a 14-day free trial, and the trial gives you full access to the features of the plan you choose — so if you pick Pro you are trialling Pro, and if you pick Elite you are trialling Elite with Route Optimization, InstaQuote, and EmployeeHub live. A credit or debit card is required to start. One free trial is available per person, per business, and per payment method. The trial converts to the paid rate of the plan you selected unless you cancel before it expires, and you can cancel at any point during the trial. Proposal sends are free during the trial. For FieldPulse, check the trial question in their own pricing FAQ rather than relying on third-party summaries. Two weeks is enough to run real jobs through both systems in parallel — do that rather than clicking around an empty demo account, and use the trial window to check the platform against the operating checklist in the SBA Business Guide. Start on the pricing page.
QuoteIQ publishes its prices; FieldPulse quotes them. Five public tiers from $29.99 to $699 per month versus a seat-based custom quote. Neither is wrong, but only one lets you budget before a sales call.
Satellite measurement lives inside the estimate. MapMeasure Pro from the $74.99 Beginner plan, now with historical aerial imagery and calculated roof pitch — no site visit to produce a priced quote.
Photo documentation is included, not integrated. QuoteIQ Cam gives unlimited 4K cloud storage, inspections, and before-and-after galleries without a second subscription.
Routing and GPS are inside the Elite price. Route Optimization cuts drive time 15–30%, Route Density shows where work clusters, and neither carries a per-vehicle fee.
Customers can quote and book themselves. InstaQuote and InstaSchedule at Elite capture and schedule leads against your real availability, day or night.
AI sits on every plan, metered by IQ Credits. AI Autopilot runs 55 tools across 13 categories; the Virtual Call Team answers around the clock, minute-limited by your credit allowance.
Know the limits before you sign. QuickBooks Online only — never Desktop. No automatic overtime calculation. No native payroll; hours export to your existing system.
Trial both with real jobs. QuoteIQ gives 14 days of the plan you choose. Run live estimates, invoices, and a full route through each platform rather than judging a demo account.

Watch Video →Migration is the part everyone dreads and almost nobody plans. Four steps, roughly one working week, running in parallel with your current system so nothing drops.
Pick the tier on the pricing page that fits your seat count — one, two, four, ten, or unlimited — because the trial gives you that plan's features, not a generic sandbox. Most single-truck operations start at Essentials; most growing crews test Pro.
Export a CSV from your current platform and run it through AI Smart Import, which maps the columns for you, or pull contacts straight off your phone. Then load your services and pricing so the estimate builder produces real numbers from day one.
Recreate maintenance agreements as Invoice Subscriptions, put recurring visits on the calendar, then switch on email and text automations and Review Multiplier. Describe the sequence you want in plain language and it gets built for you.
Quote, schedule, document, invoice, and collect on real work — not test records. Check the numbers in Job Costing and Business Analytics against your books, then cancel the old subscription. Two weeks is enough time to be certain.
