QuoteIQ Updates

QuoteIQ ships major software updates roughly every month — 12 major releases between August 2025 and June 2026, documented in full on this page. That cadence includes flagship drops like Build 801 in February 2026 (the biggest update in QuoteIQ history) and the June 2026 release with 60+ new features, alongside focused releases like the January 2026 InstaQuote overhaul. Because QuoteIQ is built by contractors, releases target field problems first: Virtual Call Team exists because Invoca data shows contractors miss 27% of inbound calls; Job Costing exists because most owners can’t see true margins per job. Updates install automatically on iOS, Android, and web — there’s nothing to download manually, and every plan from Essentials at $29.99/month receives every release the day it ships — the full history is documented on this page, newest first.

Yes — every QuoteIQ update is included with your subscription at no additional cost, on every plan from Essentials ($29.99/mo) through Max ($699/mo). That includes headline features that competitors monetize separately: AI Autopilot, the Virtual Call Team, the Before & After Generator, and the Client Portal all shipped free to every subscriber. By contrast, per their own published pricing pages, Jobber’s AI Receptionist is a paid add-on and Housecall Pro’s CSR AI is sold separately — the Jobber comparison and Housecall Pro comparison break down the real monthly totals. QuoteIQ also locks your rate forever: future updates arrive at the price you signed up at. The SBA’s small-business finance guidance flags predictable software costs as a core cash-flow lever, and that’s exactly the model here.

2026 has been QuoteIQ’s biggest year of shipping to date, with five major releases so far. January delivered a redesigned InstaQuote with real-time analytics and service templates. February brought two releases in one week: the pricing restructure that put IQ Credits and AI tools on every plan, and Build 801 — AI Autopilot, Virtual Call Team, route density, sales tracking, and dozens of redesigned screens. March added the Client Portal, AI Smart Import, Visual Estimates, and ACH payments. June landed 60+ features including AI automations, estimate templates, and online booking. April 2026 also saw Consumer Financing launch on every plan, letting customers split big-ticket jobs through Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay via Stripe checkout — details on the pricing page. For contractors, offering financing options is a proven close-rate lever the SBA highlights for managing customer cash-flow objections on larger jobs.

Build 801 (Version 2026.02.05), released February 2026 and covered in the complete walkthrough with co-founder Justin Rogers’ 25-minute video. The centerpiece was AI Autopilot — natural-language control of the entire CRM with 35 integrated tools, so “create an estimate for a housewash at $200 and driveway cleaning at $150” becomes a finished, taxed, sendable estimate in seconds. The release also put the Virtual Call Team on every plan, launched the Before & After Generator, added route density and employee filtering to route optimization, introduced the Sales Tracker for team performance, and redesigned invoices, expenses, forms, InstaSchedule, and the navigation bar — including a light/dark mode toggle. Every piece of it shipped free to every subscriber, whether they run a solo operation or a multi-crew company in any of the trades tracked by BLS occupational data.

The honest difference isn’t just cadence — it’s how features reach you. QuoteIQ shipped 12 major releases in the 11 months documented on this page, and every feature in every release landed on every plan automatically. Jobber and Housecall Pro both ship regular product updates too, and both are mature platforms — but per their own published pricing pages, several of their headline AI capabilities are monetized as separate add-ons: Jobber’s AI Receptionist carries its own monthly fee, and Housecall Pro’s CSR AI (24/7 call answering) is sold separately from the base plans. The equivalent QuoteIQ features — Virtual Call Team and AI Autopilot — are included from Essentials at $29.99/month up. The QuoteIQ vs Jobber and QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro pages run the full true-cost math with sources. For enterprise shops evaluating ServiceTitan, pricing is quote-based, so verify current numbers directly with each vendor before signing anything — the SBA’s buying guidance recommends getting all software costs in writing, add-ons included, before committing.

The AI suite has expanded in nearly every 2026 release. AI Autopilot (February) runs the whole CRM by voice or text across 35 tools, with an internet-access toggle for things like checking tomorrow’s weather before rescheduling. The Virtual Call Team answers, qualifies, and books inbound calls 24/7 — critical when Invoca research shows the average contractor misses 27% of calls. The Before & After Generator creates realistic result images for jobs you haven’t done yet. March 2026 added AI Smart Import for migrating customer data from other CRMs, and the June 2026 update introduced AI-powered automations. The AI Estimator builds complete priced estimates from a job description and photos. Every AI feature runs on IQ Credits included with all plans — 500/month on Essentials up to 8,000/month on Max — with no separate AI subscription.

Updates arrive automatically. Server-side features — like the Client Portal, Pipelines, or new Autopilot capabilities — appear in your account the day they release, on web and mobile simultaneously. App-level improvements ship through the App Store and Google Play; if your phone has automatic app updates enabled, you’ll get them without doing anything. To force the newest version manually, open the App Store or Play Store, search QuoteIQ, and tap Update if the button appears. The mobile apps carry full feature parity with the web version — everything from MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement to inventory transactions and QuoteIQ Cam photo documentation works identically in the field. If an update ever misbehaves, the support team is available around the clock through the Help Center, and a credit or debit card is required to start the 14-day free trial if you’re evaluating fresh.

Directly inside the app — the Suggest a Feature voting system lives in the navigation menu, where you can submit ideas and upvote other users’ requests. It isn’t a suggestion box that goes nowhere: features on this very page started as user requests, and the roadmap is shaped by vote counts across the feature set. Co-founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers both ran home service businesses before building QuoteIQ, and the release history above reflects that field-first loop — Job Costing, Inventory Management, and the Client Portal all trace back to what working contractors asked for. You can also raise ideas with the team on a live demo call, in the QuoteIQ Facebook user community, or through the Help Center. Per BrightLocal’s consumer research, responsiveness drives trust — the same principle applies to software vendors, which is why shipped requests get credited in the release notes.
