Domestic support hours, American data-privacy compliance, and pricing you can actually read on a public page. Here is how the leading US based CRMs compare on published 2026 numbers — verified against each vendor’s own pricing page the day this guide was updated.
For most home service contractors, QuoteIQ is the best-value US based CRM in 2026: five published plans from $29.99/month (Essentials, 1 user) to $699/month (Max, unlimited users), with satellite measurement, customer self-quoting, inventory, routing and the full AI suite included in-plan rather than sold as add-ons. Jobber and Housecall Pro both publish full rate cards and suit teams that want a mature, widely-integrated platform and are comfortable buying add-ons separately. ServiceTitan targets large operations and does not publish a public rate card at all — you have to book a sales call for a quote. Compare the five QuoteIQ tiers on the pricing page.
TL;DR: “US based” is not marketing filler — it decides your support hours, which privacy statutes your customer data falls under, and whether the vendor’s roadmap is built around American payment rails and property data. QuoteIQ runs five public tiers (Essentials $29.99 · Beginner $74.99 · Pro $149.99 · Elite $299 · Max $699) with a 14-day free trial that gives you full access to the features of the plan you choose. Included in-plan rather than bolted on: MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, InstaQuote self-quoting, Pipelines & Deals, route optimization, EmployeeHub, AI Autopilot and the Virtual Call Team. Whichever platform you pick, keep your books in order — the IRS applies the same recordkeeping rules to electronic records as to paper, and the FTC’s consumer reviews rule governs how any of these tools may request customer reviews.
Finding the right CRM can make or break a home service business. The top US based CRMs offer concrete advantages over foreign alternatives: support staffed in your own time zone, compliance with American state privacy statutes, and product decisions made by people who understand how contractors in the United States actually get paid. The trades are not a small niche either — the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counted roughly 6.4 million people working in construction and extraction occupations as of May 2025, at an annual mean wage of $65,360. That is a very large market, and software vendors build for the market they can see out their own window.
This guide breaks down the US based CRMs that actually understand the home service industry, and it does it with numbers you can check. Every competitor figure below was pulled from that vendor’s own published pricing page on the day this guide was updated, and where a vendor does not publish pricing, this guide says so instead of guessing. Whether you run a pressure washing company, an HVAC business, a lawn care operation, or any of the 50+ trades on the industries directory, you need software built by people who understand your daily challenges — and priced so you can predict next year’s bill.
Three of the four platforms in this guide changed their pricing structure at least once during 2026. Two of them now price by team size and billing commitment simultaneously, which means a single “starting at” number tells you almost nothing about your real bill. That is why the comparison below lists the user count attached to every price and the cost of each additional seat — those two numbers, not the headline, decide what you pay in month thirteen.
Selecting a US based CRM provides specific operational and legal advantages that foreign alternatives cannot match. American-built software addresses unique market needs while offering peace of mind on data handling and support availability. Three of those advantages are worth real money; a fourth is worth avoiding a headache.
US based CRMs are built against American data protection expectations and the growing patchwork of state-level privacy statutes. That matters more than it used to. California’s privacy law, administered by the California Attorney General’s office, gives consumers rights to know what personal information a business collects, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing — and those obligations flow through to the systems where you keep customer records. A contractor storing home addresses, gate codes, alarm details, photos of the inside of a property, and card-on-file records is holding genuinely sensitive information, and the software vendor is a link in that chain.
Practically, this shows up in three places: where the data physically lives, what happens when a customer asks you to delete their record, and whether you can get your data back out. On the last point, QuoteIQ includes data export on every plan, including the entry tier — customers own their data, and QuoteIQ never stores raw card numbers, which stay with the payment processor. If a platform makes export a premium feature or a support ticket, treat that as a warning sign no matter what country it is headquartered in.
Time zone alignment eliminates the frustration of waiting overnight for a support response. When a scheduling glitch threatens a full day of appointments, the difference between help at 9:05 a.m. and help at 9:05 p.m. is a day of revenue. US based platforms answer during your business hours because those are their business hours too. QuoteIQ backs this with a Help Center, a library of video tutorials, and live support on every plan — with faster SLAs and a dedicated contact on the Max tier.
Support quality is also the single most common theme in contractor reviews of any CRM, which is why it belongs in your evaluation rather than in the “nice to have” column. Before you commit, send the vendor a real support question during your trial and time the reply.
American home service CRMs are built by people who understand American property standards, payment preferences, and customer expectations. Property measurement tools integrate with US mapping and parcel data; pricing structures match American billing conventions; scheduling accommodates domestic holiday calendars. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro measures square footage, roof dimensions, driveways, lawns, decks and fences from satellite imagery inside the estimate itself, with roof segments auto-detected and color-coded by pitch, plus a historical aerial timeline that lets you scroll back through years of imagery on a property. Companions like Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access put property context one tap away.
This is the advantage nobody mentions until it bites. American homeowners pay by card, by ACH bank transfer, by Apple Pay and Google Pay, and — still, constantly — by paper check. A CRM built for the US market handles all of those natively. In QuoteIQ, customers pay invoices by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay online, with cash and checks recorded manually in the app so your books stay complete. Consumer financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay is available on every plan including the trial, so a $9,000 roof or system replacement can be closed at the kitchen table without a separate lender relationship — you are paid in full upfront and the provider carries the collections and default risk.
On processing fees: QuoteIQ does not publish flat processing percentages, because the actual rate varies by payment method, account configuration, risk profile, industry and volume. Any guide quoting you a single universal rate for any of these platforms is simplifying something that is genuinely variable — confirm your own rate in writing before you switch.
The following breakdown covers pricing, features, and ideal use cases for each platform. Every dollar figure here was read off the vendor’s own published pricing page on September 2, 2026 — and where the vendor publishes nothing, this guide says exactly that rather than repeating numbers scraped from review aggregators.
QuoteIQ represents a newer generation of US based CRMs built specifically by contractors for contractors. Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers came out of field service work, and the product reflects it: the features that normally arrive as paid add-ons elsewhere — satellite measurement, photo documentation, self-quoting, routing — are inside the plans.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (2 months free) | Users included | IQ Credits / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $29.99 | $299.99 | 1 | 500 |
| Beginner | $74.99 | $749.99 | 2 | 1,500 |
| Pro | $149.99 | $1,499.99 | 4 | 3,000 |
| Elite | $299 | $2,990 | 10 | 5,000 |
| Max | $699 | $6,990 | Unlimited | 8,000 |
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose. IQ Credits are the monthly allowance that powers the AI features; every AI action shows its credit cost and asks for confirmation before it runs, so there are no surprise draws. Credits reset each billing cycle, have no cash value, and are never required to run the core CRM.
Industries served: pressure washing, painting, lawn care, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, handyman, holiday lighting, window cleaning, roofing, pest control, pool service, concrete and 50+ other home services.
Jobber offers a mature, user-friendly platform focused on scheduling, quoting and payment processing, and it has one of the largest integration marketplaces in the category. It is the most widely recognised name on this list among small contractors. Its headquarters are in Canada rather than the United States, which is worth noting on a guide about US based software — its operations and support are North American.
Jobber’s published structure now prices on two axes at once: plan tier and team size, each with three billing options. As of September 2, 2026, on no-commitment monthly billing, Core runs $49/month for one user; Connect runs $139 for one user, $199 for five, $299 for ten and $399 for fifteen; Grow runs $199 for one user, $299 for five, $399 for ten and $499 for fifteen; and Plus runs $499 for five users, $599 for ten and $699 for fifteen. Additional users beyond a plan’s included count are $29/month each. Annual prepayment reduces these materially.
Jobber’s own pricing page lists Pipeline ($49/month), Marketing Suite ($99/month) and the AI Receptionist ($29/month) as add-ons on Grow and lower plans, included on Plus. Its trial gives 14 days of full access to the Grow plan.
Best for: small to medium businesses that want a heavily integrated, well-known platform and are comfortable adding paid modules as they grow. If you are pricing Jobber against QuoteIQ specifically, the side-by-side comparison walks the differences.
Housecall Pro emphasises marketing and reputation tooling alongside core CRM functionality, and it has shipped a substantial AI feature set. As of September 2, 2026 its published tiers are Housecall Pro Basic at $59/month annual or $79 monthly with one user; Housecall Pro Essentials at $149/month annual or $189 monthly with five users included and additional users at $100/month each; and Housecall Pro Max at $299/month annual or $329 monthly with eight users included and additional users at $75/month each. (Housecall Pro uses the plan names “Essentials” and “Max” for its own tiers; these are not the QuoteIQ tiers of similar name.)
Those per-seat numbers are the ones to watch. Housecall Pro’s additional-user pricing is the highest of any platform in this guide, so the gap between plans widens quickly as you hire. Its trial runs 14 days with full access to the MAX plan.
Best for: businesses that lean heavily on digital marketing integration and want reputation management in the same box. The Housecall Pro comparison covers the feature-by-feature detail.
ServiceTitan targets larger operations with complex multi-location needs. The platform is deep — advanced call booking with caller ID integration, multi-day project management, detailed technician performance tracking, call centre tooling and inventory — and the implementation effort matches that depth.
Pricing note (verified September 2, 2026): ServiceTitan does not publish a public rate card. Its website routes pricing enquiries to “Get Demo” and “Contact Sales” rather than to a pricing page, so any specific monthly figure you see quoted for ServiceTitan online is a third-party estimate, not a vendor-published price. Earlier versions of this guide carried such figures; they have been removed. For an actual number, request a quote directly from ServiceTitan. If you want to model what an enterprise platform would cost you before that call, the ServiceTitan pricing calculator is a useful starting point.
Best for: enterprise-level operations with dedicated office staff, a procurement process, and the appetite for a multi-week implementation. See the ServiceTitan comparison for the full breakdown.
This table contains only what each vendor publishes on its own site, checked September 2, 2026. Cells that would require guessing are marked “Not published” rather than filled in with a plausible-looking answer.
| Published detail | QuoteIQ | Jobber | Housecall Pro | ServiceTitan |

Look at one row: additional user cost. Adding a tenth field tech costs $0 on QuoteIQ Max, $29/month on Jobber, and $75/month on Housecall Pro Max. Over a year, that single row is a $348 difference against Jobber and a $900 difference against Housecall Pro — per seat. For a growing crew, seat pricing outweighs the headline plan price within two or three hires.
Selecting from the top US based CRMs depends on your operational needs, team size and growth trajectory. Two factors dominate the decision: how many people need logins, and which parts of your workflow you refuse to keep doing manually.
Solo operators (1 user). The QuoteIQ Essentials plan at $29.99/month provides professional quoting, scheduling, invoicing, recurring invoices, e-signatures, a customer database and the full AI toolset without overcomplicating operations. The mobile app handles everything from the field, and the business calculators plus the free calculator library cover the pricing side while you build your price book.
Two-person operations. Beginner at $74.99 adds MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, expense tracking, contract attachments, mass invoicing, advanced analytics and custom branding for a second seat — the tier where remote quoting starts paying for itself.
Growing teams (3–10 employees). Pro at $149.99 covers four users and unlocks ClientHub, the client portal, job costing, email and text automations, on-the-way texts, website contact forms and QuickBooks Online. Elite at $299 covers ten users and adds InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, pipelines, mass campaigns, inventory, routing and EmployeeHub.
Large operations (11+ employees). This is where per-seat pricing decides the winner. Max at $699/month includes unlimited user seats at a flat price, plus the Sales Team Tracker, crew creation and scheduling, the AI website builder, four additional businesses and priority support. Flat beats per-seat the moment your headcount stops being predictable.
Pressure washing and exterior cleaning. MapMeasure Pro enables remote property quoting while QuoteIQ Cam documents before/after results for marketing and liability protection. Price jobs against the pressure washing cost calculator before you quote, and see the dedicated soft washing and commercial pressure washing pages.
HVAC and plumbing. Service call management, recurring maintenance scheduling via invoice subscriptions, and inventory tracking support high-volume operations with multiple daily appointments. Start with the HVAC cost calculator and the HVAC invoice template, then see the plumbing software page.
Lawn care and landscaping. Recurring service automation handles weekly and monthly clients while route optimization minimises drive time between properties. The lawn care cost calculator and landscaping invoice template are the fastest way to standardise pricing across a route, and the landscaping and irrigation pages cover the seasonal side.
Electrical. Options estimates handle good/better/best panel and service upgrades cleanly. Use the electrical invoice template and the EV charger installation calculator alongside the electrician software page.
Roofing. Roof and pitch measurement from aerial imagery removes the ladder from the estimating process, and the historical imagery timeline helps document pre-existing condition. See roofing software and metal roofing.
Painting. Room-by-room quoting with multi-day scheduling accommodates longer project timelines. The painting cost calculator, painting invoice template and painting software page cover the trade.
Holiday lighting. Multi-date scheduling manages both installation and removal appointments, with customer self-scheduling reducing phone coordination. Price with the Christmas light installation calculator and see holiday lighting software.
Pest control, cleaning and specialty trades. Recurring plans, inspection forms and route density matter most here — see pest control, house cleaning, gutter cleaning, tree care, concrete, handyman and snow removal, with the pest control calculator and gutter cleaning calculator for pricing.
When comparing top US based CRMs, look past the base subscription. Total cost of ownership includes add-ons, per-user fees and hidden requirements. The scenarios below use only published, same-day-verified list prices on no-commitment monthly billing, so you can reproduce every number yourself.
| Platform | Plan | Monthly (10 users) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | Elite (10 users included) | $299 | $3,588 |
| Housecall Pro | Max, 8 included + 2 seats at $75 | $479 | $5,748 |
| Jobber | Grow, 10-user tier | $399 | $4,788 |
| Jobber | Plus, 10-user tier | $599 | $7,188 |
At ten users, QuoteIQ Elite is $100/month less than Jobber Grow, $180/month less than Housecall Pro Max, and $300/month less than Jobber Plus — a spread of $1,200 to $3,600 a year on subscription alone, before any add-on modules. And Elite already includes pipelines, mass campaigns, inventory, route optimization and EmployeeHub in the plan.
| Platform | Seat math | Monthly (30 users) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | Max — unlimited seats, flat | $699 | $8,388 |
| Jobber | Plus $699 (15 users) + 15 × $29 | $1,134 | $13,608 |
| Housecall Pro | Max $329 (8 users) + 22 × $75 | $1,979 | $23,748 |
This is the clearest illustration of flat versus per-seat pricing. At thirty users QuoteIQ Max costs $435/month less than Jobber Plus and $1,280/month less than Housecall Pro Max — roughly $5,200 and $15,360 a year respectively. Because Max seats are unlimited, that gap keeps widening with every hire while the QuoteIQ line stays flat.
A $15,000 annual software difference is not abstract. Against the BLS median annual wage of $59,540 for construction and extraction occupations (May 2025), that is roughly three months of a field employee’s wages — funded entirely by a line item most owners never revisit after signing up.
Methodology: all figures are published list prices on no-commitment monthly billing, read from each vendor’s own pricing page on September 2, 2026. Annual and one-year-commitment billing lowers every platform’s cost, including QuoteIQ’s. Payment processing fees are excluded because they vary by method, configuration, risk profile, industry and volume on all four platforms. ServiceTitan is absent from these tables because it publishes no rate card to compare.
Every CRM in this category calls itself all-in-one. The word only means something if you list the jobs a home service business actually has to do and check them off. Here are the twelve systems a contractor runs, whether or not the software provides them — the ones your CRM does not cover are the ones you will end up paying a second vendor for.
Line-item, quick, tiered and bundled quotes; photos, terms, licence numbers on PDFs; markup and discount controls; deposit requirements; expiration dates. QuoteIQ covers all four estimate types on every plan, with draft mode and continuous autosave so a dead phone battery does not cost you the quote.
One-tap invoice conversion, recurring billing, partial payments and deposits, Net 15/30/60/90 terms, automated reminders, and an embedded checkout that does not bounce the customer to a third-party page. See online payments.
Drag-and-drop across day, week, month and employee-timeline views; multi-day jobs as continuous events; jobs created with no date and assigned later; Google Calendar sync; automated appointment reminders.
A real client database with mass import, multiple contacts on a single job so notifications fan out to everyone involved, and a documentation archive on the contact record.
A dedicated business number, two-way calling and texting logged to the customer, call routing by time of day or availability, and reminders and tasks so follow-ups do not live in your head.
Event-triggered email and text automations, segmented campaigns, and a review request mechanism that runs at the moment of payment when goodwill peaks.
Satellite square footage, roof dimensions and pitch, driveways and fences — measured before you drive out. This is the single biggest time saver in exterior trades and the feature most often missing from a rate card.
Job-organized capture, annotations, before/after comparisons via the before & after photo editor, and a shareable gallery. Your liability defence and your marketing library are the same asset.
Per-job profit — price minus labour minus expenses — with labour pulled automatically from clocked hours, plus expense tracking with receipts linked to jobs.
GPS clock-in with location verification, break tracking, roles and permissions, and crew-level scheduling once you run more than one truck.
Products with reorder points, locations covering warehouse and truck, suppliers, orders and a transaction ledger — with estimate line items linked to products so pricing stays current.
A branded portal where customers approve estimates, pay invoices, submit requests and book time — plus booking straight from Google Search and Maps.
Score each shortlisted platform out of twelve using its own published materials, then multiply every gap by what the replacement tool costs per month. That number, not the headline plan price, is your real comparison.
The most expensive thing about a CRM is rarely the subscription — it is being stuck in one. Before you sign anywhere, get clear answers to three questions: who owns the data, how you get it out, and what it takes to get it in somewhere else.
Getting in. QuoteIQ’s AI Smart Import accepts a CSV from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or any other CRM and maps the columns automatically, and it can pull contacts straight from your phone. A rebuilt import experience with mapping review, a preview step and duplicate flagging has been built server-side and is scheduled to appear in the app in a coming release. Paid setup help is available in two tiers — Done-For-You at $299.99 and $999.99 — covering contact import, price book setup and a one-on-one onboarding session.
Getting out. Export is available on all five plans, entry tier included. Customers own their data. That is the standard to hold every vendor on your shortlist to, and it is worth asking the question during a sales call rather than after a billing dispute.
Keeping the books straight through the move. A CRM migration is exactly when transaction history goes missing, and the IRS applies the same recordkeeping requirements to electronic systems as to hard copy books, with employment records to be kept for at least four years. Export a full copy of the old system before you cancel it, keep that archive independently of both vendors, and reconcile the first month in both systems. The SBA’s guidance on managing your business finances is a useful checklist for what “in order” means.
Migrate in your slowest four weeks of the year, not your busiest. For lawn care and pressure washing that is deep winter; for snow removal and holiday lighting it is midsummer. Running two systems in parallel for one month costs one extra subscription; doing it in peak season costs jobs.
Every platform in this category shipped AI features during 2025 and 2026, and the marketing has outrun the specifics almost everywhere. Here is what the QuoteIQ AI suite does, tool by tool, so you have something concrete to compare against whatever a competing sales rep tells you.
Conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text, spanning 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. Real commands: “Move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer,” or “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.” Inside the app the interface is labelled “Ask AI” — same feature, brand name is AI Autopilot.
The 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 specialist rather than the generalist.
Lives inside estimate and invoice creation: add services, set discounts, change tax, draft client messages, add deposits. Quick-action cards plus free-form chat, in either Auto Accept or Review mode.
The Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam, and delivers call summaries with every call recorded and transcribed. It uses a knowledge base and agent voice you configure. Minutes are metered against your IQ Credit allowance, so it is limited at lower tiers rather than unlimited.
The image generator produces a realistic “after” preview from the actual photo of the property in roughly 15–20 seconds, attachable to any estimate type or invoice. For exterior trades, showing the result closes the job.
The AI text generator writes professional messages in ClientHub and text fields app-wide, AI Smart Import maps CSV columns automatically, and Ask AI Reports answers business questions conversationally instead of making you build a dashboard.
The economics matter as much as the capability. QuoteIQ meters AI usage in IQ Credits included with every plan — 500 on Essentials up to 8,000 on Max — rather than selling an AI add-on. Every AI action displays its credit cost and asks for confirmation before running. Jobber’s own pricing page, by contrast, lists its AI Receptionist as a $29/month add-on on Grow and below. Neither approach is automatically better; they are just different, and you should price your expected usage under both.
Choosing US based software does not make you compliant by itself, but it does mean the vendor is building against the same rules you operate under. Three areas deserve a look before you turn features on.
Automated review requests are standard in every platform here, and the rules around them tightened materially. The FTC’s Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule took effect on October 21, 2024 and authorises courts to impose civil penalties for knowing violations. The practical translation for a contractor: ask every customer, not only the happy ones; never condition an incentive on a positive review; and disclose it if someone connected to your business writes one. A review automation that fires after payment on every completed job is compliant by design — one that only fires when you manually pick the customer is where owners get themselves into trouble.
If you serve customers in California and meet the thresholds, the CCPA gives them rights to know, delete and correct the personal information you hold, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Other states have followed with comparable statutes. You need to be able to find every record for one person and act on it — which is a search-and-export problem, and therefore a CRM problem.
Once you turn on GPS time tracking, your CRM becomes a payroll record. QuoteIQ’s Time Tracker Pro keeps per-job hours, break counts and durations, restricts manual adjustments to admins and retains a full edit history — which is exactly what you want if a timesheet is ever disputed. Two limitations worth knowing: there is no automatic overtime calculation and no native payroll, so hours export to whatever payroll system you already run. The BLS projects about 587,000 openings a year in construction and extraction occupations, so most growing contractors will be onboarding through these records regularly rather than once.
One privacy detail worth stating plainly, because contractors ask about it constantly: clocked-out employees are never displayed on any map in QuoteIQ. Location tracking runs while an employee is clocked in, pauses on breaks and stops at clock-out. If a platform cannot tell you where that line sits, ask before you deploy it to a crew.
QuoteIQ is the best-value US based CRM for most home service businesses in 2026, with five published plans from $29.99/month for one user up to $699/month for unlimited users. What separates it is what sits inside the plan rather than beside it: MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, QuoteIQ Cam photo documentation, InstaQuote self-quoting, route optimization and the full AI suite are plan features, not paid modules. At ten users, QuoteIQ Elite costs $299/month against $399 for Jobber’s ten-user Grow tier and $479 for Housecall Pro Max with two extra seats. Housecall Pro is the strongest choice if marketing and reputation tooling is your priority; Jobber suits teams wanting the largest integration marketplace; ServiceTitan targets enterprise operations and publishes no rate card. Compare tiers on the pricing page or browse the full comparison hub. Sizing matters more than brand loyalty — the BLS counted 6.4 million construction and extraction workers in May 2025, and platforms in this category are built for very different slices of that market.
A US based CRM maintains its primary operations, customer support and data infrastructure within the United States. In practice that produces three measurable differences. First, support answers during your working day rather than overnight — worth real money when a scheduling fault threatens a full day of appointments. Second, the vendor builds against American privacy statutes such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, which gives consumers rights to know, delete and correct the personal information a business holds. Third, the product assumes American payment behaviour: card, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay and paper checks, plus consumer financing and online payments at the point of sale. QuoteIQ is headquartered in Savannah, Georgia and was founded on September 21, 2022. Housecall Pro is in San Diego and ServiceTitan in Glendale, California; Jobber runs North American operations from Edmonton, Canada. Domestic basing also shows up in property data — features like Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access depend on US parcel sources, and data export on every plan means the data stays yours regardless.
Published entry pricing for US based home service CRMs runs from $29.99 to $79 per month for a single user, and top published tiers reach $699/month. QuoteIQ publishes five tiers: Essentials $29.99 (1 user), Beginner $74.99 (2 users), Pro $149.99 (4 users), Elite $299 (10 users) and Max $699 (unlimited users), with annual billing giving two months free. As of September 2, 2026, Jobber’s no-commitment monthly Core plan is $49 for one user, and its Plus tier is $699 for fifteen users with extra seats at $29/month. Housecall Pro publishes its own Basic tier at $79 monthly, its Essentials tier at $189 monthly and its Max tier at $329 monthly, with additional seats at $75–$100/month. ServiceTitan publishes no rate card and quotes through a sales call. The number that actually determines your bill is the per-seat cost, not the headline — model your own headcount using the business calculators, and keep the software line in the broader budget picture the SBA recommends tracking.
QuoteIQ runs month-to-month with no long-term commitment — you can cancel at any time, and annual billing is an optional discount rather than a lock-in requirement, giving two months free across all five tiers. Jobber’s published FAQ describes three billing structures: monthly with no commitment and cancellation at the end of the current period, monthly on a twelve-month minimum term, and annual prepaid where the initial payment is non-refundable. Housecall Pro’s published FAQ states it does not require long-term contracts. ServiceTitan does not publish its contract terms, so you would need to confirm them during a sales conversation. The practical advice is the same regardless of vendor: read what happens to your data at cancellation before you sign, and confirm export is available on your tier — QuoteIQ includes export on every plan including Essentials, and the full feature list shows what each tier unlocks. Keeping a clean archive matters because the IRS holds electronic records to the same standards as paper. Start on the pricing page and see the comparison hub for platform-by-platform detail.
Yes — three of the four publish free trials, all of them 14 days. QuoteIQ gives a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, so you evaluate the exact tier you would actually buy rather than a showcase version. A credit or debit card is required to start, and the trial auto-converts to the selected plan’s rate unless cancelled before it expires; one trial is available per person, per business, per payment method. Jobber’s published FAQ describes 14 days of full access to its Grow plan. Housecall Pro’s published FAQ describes 14 days of full access to its MAX plan. ServiceTitan does not publish trial terms. Use the trial properly: import a real customer list through AI Smart Import, build three genuine estimates, measure a real property with MapMeasure Pro, run one job end to end through scheduling and invoicing, and send one support question to time the reply. Two weeks is enough to answer the only question that matters — whether your crew will actually use it. SBA guidance on managing your business is a useful frame for the evaluation.
There are two separate flows and they are easy to confuse. Paying for the software itself and collecting money from your customers are handled differently. For QuoteIQ subscriptions, Whop is the processor for new subscribers; accounts established earlier on Stripe are legacy and may remain there or migrate one way to Whop. Mobile subscriptions can run as in-app purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are managed there. For your customers paying invoices, the QuoteIQ Payments Service accepts credit and debit cards, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay online, with cash and checks recorded manually in the app — Whop-powered for new subscribers and Stripe-powered for legacy ones. Payout and bank details are configured in settings, and recurring auto-pay is supported through invoice subscriptions. Consumer financing via Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay works on every plan independently of the processor. Processing fees vary by method, configuration, risk profile, industry and volume, so no platform here can honestly quote you one universal rate — confirm yours in writing. See online payments, invoicing and tips at checkout, and keep records per IRS guidance.
Every employee needs their own login, and the included seat count rises with the tier: Essentials includes 1 user, Beginner includes 2, Pro includes 4, Elite includes 10, and Max includes unlimited users at a flat $699/month. That last tier is the structural difference against per-seat competitors: adding a tenth, twentieth or fiftieth technician does not change the bill. Roles and permissions control exactly what each employee can see and do, with a full overhaul shipped in August 2026 that separated calendar permissions properly and gave permission-restricted users shortcut cards rather than the main dashboard. Employee records carry hourly rate and availability, and Max adds crew creation, crew scheduling and the Sales Team Tracker for commission and conversion metrics per rep. Given that the BLS projects roughly 587,000 annual openings in construction and extraction occupations, seat economics deserve more attention than most owners give them at signup.
Customer self-quoting lets a homeowner build their own estimate from your priced service catalog without waiting for you to call back. With InstaQuote, you build the service library with your pricing, then share the link on your website alongside your contact request forms, in email or on social. The customer selects services, sees a real-time total, and submits; the quote is delivered instantly by email or text, and they can approve it and book from there while you get notified. Paired with InstaSchedule, which books against your real live calendar availability 24/7, the whole first contact can complete without a phone call — and InstaSchedule is reachable from all four estimate types as well as from InstaQuote forms. Both sit on the Elite tier and above. The client portal extends the same idea after the sale, letting customers approve estimates, pay invoices and submit requests from a branded link. Remember that any review request triggered afterwards falls under the FTC’s Consumer Reviews Rule — see Review Multiplier.
A walkthrough of how contractors run quoting, scheduling, invoicing and payments inside a single app — useful context before you start a trial on any platform in this guide.
A migration that takes a weekend instead of a quarter comes down to sequencing. This is the order that works.
Before you touch a new platform, pull a full CSV export of customers, job history, invoices and payments out of your existing CRM and store it somewhere neither vendor controls. This is your safety net and your audit trail, and it must exist before you cancel anything.
Run your customer CSV through AI Smart Import, which maps columns automatically from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or any other CRM. Then build the price book — this is the step that determines whether estimates take two minutes or twenty, so do it properly before you invite the team.
Keep the old system live and put a full week of real work through the new one: quote it, schedule it, complete it, invoice it and collect payment. Reconcile the two at week’s end. Anything that breaks, breaks while you still have a fallback.
Invite employees, set roles and permissions so each person sees only what they need, and turn on time tracking and routing once the basics are stable. Cancel the old subscription only after a clean month — and keep that archive from step one regardless.
QuoteIQ was founded on September 21, 2022 in Savannah, Georgia by two people who ran field service businesses before they built software for them. That background is why the product treats measurement, photo documentation and job costing as core rather than premium.
Mike came up through the exterior cleaning trade and built a following teaching contractors how to price and run jobs profitably before co-founding QuoteIQ. His work on estimating accuracy and pricing structure shapes how the four estimate types and the pricing calculators work.
Justin co-founded QuoteIQ with a focus on the operational side — scheduling, crews, routing and the field workflows that decide whether software survives contact with a real crew on a real Monday morning.
More writing from both is collected on the insights hub, and product releases are documented on the blog.

Last time, I started a business, keeping track of my expenses, customers, payments, upcoming jobs, and scheduling was a pain, and it was spread over 4 different apps. Everything I need is in one place now, and the value you get with the affordable subscription upgrades is immeasurable compared to the time you save.
Brandon Kingston · Google PlayI’ve used Jobber and Markate before, but this CRM has been the best by far. It’s super easy to use, has all the features I actually need, and the support team is quick to help. Everything just runs smoother now.
Veronica Dz · App StoreI have a lawncare business, was unorganized, but QuoteIQ changed everything. Estimates, scheduling, billing and invoicing are seamless. Tax prep easier. Best CRM by functionality and price.
Elke Staton · App StoreQuoteIQ combines the features you need with pricing you can read on a public page — built by contractors who understand what it takes to succeed in this industry. Five plans, no contracts, and a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose.
