QuoteIQ is built around one idea: price the job from a satellite photo before you drive out to it. That pitch matters more to a pressure washing company than to almost anyone else, because the drive-out is the tax on every quote you write. You burn an hour of windshield time measuring a driveway and still might not win the job.
This review tests that pitch against the published plan pages: every plan priced, every tier checked for what it actually unlocks, the measuring tool’s strengths and limits, and costs worked out for real team sizes.
How this review was made: This review is based on QuoteIQ’s published plan pages — prices checked November 10, 2026 — and on verified user reviews on G2 and Capterra. It is not based on hands-on use: no finding here comes from running a crew on QuoteIQ.

Quick Verdict
- The famous tool is not on the cheapest plan. Satellite measuring — MapMeasure Pro — starts on Beginner at $99.99 a month. Essentials at $29.99 has no measuring, no QuoteIQ Cam, and no inspection forms.
- Every plan quotes well. All five plans include four estimate formats, templates, branded proposals, e-signatures, and good/better/best options estimates.
- Small teams get a friendly price shape. Users are bundled into each tier; extra users cost a flat $25 a month. A three-person team pays $124.99 a month; a five-person team pays $224.99.
- Dispatch depth waits for the upper plans. Job assignment starts on Pro, route optimization and pipelines wait until Elite, and crew management is Max only.
- The trial is stricter than the rivals’. Every plan carries a 14-day free trial, but a card is required to start it — Jobber and Housecall Pro ask for no card. The trial also unlocks only the plan you choose.
What QuoteIQ Is: A Quoting System First
QuoteIQ was founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, both former home service business owners who came up through pressure washing — and that origin explains the design. Jobber and Housecall Pro were built as office systems first; QuoteIQ was built as a quoting system first, with scheduling, invoicing, and dispatch wrapped around the estimate.
A washing business runs on a short daily loop: a customer asks for work, you price it, the job gets scheduled, a crew does it, an invoice goes out, payment comes back. QuoteIQ covers that whole loop in one app, and the quoting step is where it tries to win.
The user evidence so far is positive but thin. On G2, QuoteIQ holds a 4.6 rating across 21 reviews. The company cites 4.7 stars across 4,100+ app-store ratings and 40,000+ contractors on the platform — company-published figures, so weigh them accordingly. The most specific account we found: a Capterra review from the owner of All American Pressure Washing, who reports admin time cut in half and credits InstaQuote with a 40% lift in lead conversion. One operator’s result, not a promise.
QuoteIQ Pricing: Every Plan and What It Actually Costs
QuoteIQ sells five plans. Each bundles a set number of users; extra users cost $25 per user per month on any plan, up to 100 extra. Annual billing charges for 10 months and gives you 12. No contracts, 24/7 support on every plan, and a Price-Lock Guarantee holds your rate while you stay on the same plan.
| Plan | Users included | Billed monthly | Billed annually | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | 1 | $29.99 | $299.90 | Estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments, AI call answering |
| Beginner | 2 | $99.99 | $999.90 | MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms, expense tracking |
| Pro | 4 | $199.99 | $1,999.90 | Email and text automation, in-app calling, job costing, QuickBooks sync, job assignment |
| Elite | 10 | $299.99 | $2,999.90 | InstaQuote and InstaSchedule, route optimization, pipelines, inventory, GPS time tracking |
| Max | 20 | $699.99 | $6,999.90 | Crew management, AI Website Builder included, dedicated account manager |
The jump from Essentials at $29.99 to Beginner at $99.99 is the single most important price step in the whole ladder, because it’s the step that buys the satellite measuring. Pro adds office automation and accounting sync, Elite adds self-serve quoting and real dispatch, and Max is a different size of product, priced for a multi-crew operation.
You can start the QuoteIQ 14-day free trial — on the plan you’d actually pay for, since the trial covers only that plan, and a card is required.
What It Really Costs: Three Worked Examples
A solo operator on Essentials. One user pays $29.99 a month; on annual billing that’s $299.90 across the year, since $29.99 times 10 equals $299.90. The cost to watch is the step up: measuring means Beginner at $99.99, which is $70 more each month, since $99.99 minus $29.99 equals $70.
A three-person team on Beginner. Beginner includes two users at $99.99 a month, and the third user costs $25 a month, so the team pays $124.99 a month, since $99.99 plus $25 equals $124.99. On annual billing that’s $1,249.90 across the year, since $124.99 times 10 equals $1,249.90. That buys satellite measuring, QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms, and expense tracking — the cheapest route to measuring for a team of three, since Pro costs $199.99 before any extra user.
A five-person team on Pro. Pro includes four users at $199.99 a month, and the fifth user costs $25 a month, so the team pays $224.99 a month, since $199.99 plus $25 equals $224.99. On annual billing that’s $2,249.90. The step up to Elite, at $299.99 for ten users, costs $75 more each month, since $299.99 minus $224.99 equals $75 — and that buys InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, route optimization, pipelines, inventory, and GPS time tracking.
One gap in every total above: QuoteIQ publishes no payment processing percentage. Payments run through your own Stripe or Whop account, and those fees sit on top of the plan price. Plan math is only half of job math anyway — run your per-job numbers through our pressure washing estimate calculator before deciding what a quoting tool is worth to you.
What Each Tier Actually Unlocks
Essentials: the quoting basics for one user. Essentials covers estimates in all four formats, invoices, scheduling, online payments, and AI call answering, on top of your client database. It’s a tidy solo toolkit: prices gathered by phone or site visit, delivered in a branded, signed document instead of a text thread. What’s missing matters as much — no satellite measuring, no QuoteIQ Cam, no inspection forms. A solo operator on Essentials still measures by hand and still drives out before quoting, the exact trip QuoteIQ is sold on removing.
Beginner: the measuring tier. Beginner unlocks MapMeasure Pro, plus QuoteIQ Cam, inspection forms, and expense tracking, for two users. This is the tier where the product becomes itself: a washer can measure a driveway, a house wash, or a roof from inside the estimate, and document jobs with before-and-after photos. For most quoting-led washing businesses, Beginner is the realistic starting point, because the measuring is the reason to buy QuoteIQ at all.
Pro: the office automation tier. Pro unlocks email and text automation, in-app calling, job costing, QuickBooks sync, and job assignment, for four users. Automation keeps quote follow-ups moving without hand-chasing leads; job costing shows what each job actually earned; QuickBooks sync moves invoices into the books without retyping. Pro is where QuoteIQ starts behaving like a full office system, not just a quoting tool.
Elite: the self-serve and dispatch tier. Elite unlocks InstaQuote and InstaSchedule, route optimization, sales pipelines (up to five), inventory, and GPS time tracking, for ten users. InstaQuote lets customers build their own estimate on your website, and InstaSchedule books it against your real availability — a quote becomes a booked job with no phone call. It’s also the first tier with serious dispatch.
Max: the control tier. Max adds crew management, the AI Website Builder included in the price, and a dedicated account manager, for 20 users. Crew management — building and tracking crews rather than individual workers — is the missing piece for a multi-truck operation. At $699.99 a month, judge Max against that size of business, not a solo budget.
MapMeasure Pro: Satellite Measuring Inside the Estimate
MapMeasure Pro opens the satellite map from inside an estimate. You outline the driveway, the house, the roof, or the fence line, and the area, perimeter, and edge lengths land in the estimate as quantities, ready to price from your price book. An AI AutoMeasure tool can trace a roof for you. Every measurement is saved in a library by address, so a repeat job starts from a known measurement.
That’s the real speed gain: the site visit disappears from quoting, and the site visit is the slowest part of winning a job. The quoting layer around it is complete, too — every plan includes four estimate formats (standard, options, package, and quick), templates keep repeat quotes consistent, and e-signatures get the price agreed in writing first.
The limits are honest, and worth planning around. First, a satellite measurement prepares an estimate; it is not a survey. Tree cover and new extensions still need eyes on the property before you promise a fixed price. Second, some AI jobs run on IQ Credits, so heavy AI measuring is not unlimited; if you measure dozens of properties a day, test that ceiling inside the trial. Third, the measuring starts on Beginner. The cheapest plan cannot do the thing the product is famous for.
QuoteIQ for Pressure Washing: The Daily Workflow
A general field-service review can tell you QuoteIQ quotes well. It can’t tell you how the pieces land on a Tuesday in March, when the phone won’t stop ringing.
Morning: price the leads from the office. Yesterday’s inquiries get measured from the map — driveway by outline, house wash by wall area, roof traced by AutoMeasure — and each goes out as an options estimate, good/better/best on one document the customer signs from their phone. On Elite, some customers skip the queue entirely with InstaQuote and InstaSchedule.
On site: document everything. QuoteIQ Cam, included from Beginner up, keeps before-and-after photos and inspection forms attached to the job record, so the proof lives with the invoice, not in a crew member’s camera roll. Chemical inventory sits on Elite, alongside built-in calculators for the daily mix math — downstream injector ratios included.
After the job: get paid, then get reviewed. The invoice comes out of the same record the quote went into; payment runs through your own Stripe or Whop account. Then the Review Multiplier asks for the Google review while the driveway is still visibly clean. A steady flow of fresh Google reviews is the cheapest local SEO a washing company can earn — and the step crews forget when it’s manual.
None of this requires magic. It requires the quote, the photos, the invoice, and the review request to live in one record instead of five apps and a group text — which is the workflow QuoteIQ is selling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Measuring lives inside the estimate. MapMeasure Pro turns a satellite photo into priced quantities without a site visit — no rival builds this into the estimate itself.
- Every plan quotes properly. Four estimate formats, good/better/best options, branded proposals, templates, and e-signatures start on the $29.99 plan.
- Predictable team math. Extra users are a flat $25 a month on any plan, so growing from two people to five doesn’t force a tier jump.
- Built by washers, for size-based work. Its center of gravity — measure, price by area, sign, schedule — matches how washing jobs are actually sold.
- Friendly fine print. No contracts, annual billing that charges 10 months for 12, 24/7 support on every plan, and a Price-Lock Guarantee.
- Real users report real outcomes. G2 rates it 4.6, and a Capterra review from a pressure washing owner reports admin time cut in half.
Cons
- The headline feature is gated. Satellite measuring starts at Beginner ($99.99), so the $29.99 plan can’t do the thing QuoteIQ is famous for.
- Dispatch depth is gated higher still. Job assignment waits for Pro, route optimization and pipelines for Elite, and crew management for Max — so multi-crew operations pay top-tier money for the features they’d use most.
- The trial asks for a card. Fourteen days is standard; requiring a credit or debit card to start is not, and Jobber and Housecall Pro don’t ask.
- Payment costs are partly invisible. QuoteIQ publishes no processing percentage, and Stripe or Whop fees through your own account sit on top of every plan price.
- There’s a lot to learn. Verified reviewers on Capterra and G2 mention feature overload in the first weeks — there’s a great deal of platform to absorb.
- The review record is still young. Twenty-one reviews on G2 is a small base to judge support quality and long-term reliability by.
QuoteIQ vs Jobber vs Housecall Pro
| QuoteIQ | Jobber | Housecall Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design center | Quoting first, exterior cleaning roots | Office system first, all field services | Office system plus built-in marketing |
| Cheapest plan | Essentials, $29.99/mo, 1 user | Core, $29/mo only on annual prepay ($49 month-to-month) | Basic, $59/mo annual or $79 monthly |
| Satellite measuring in the estimate | Yes — MapMeasure Pro, from Beginner | Not its core pitch | Not its core pitch |
| Five-user cost | Pro plus one extra user: $224.99/mo | Grow for five users: $229/mo on annual prepay | Essentials for five users: $149/mo on annual prepay |
| Adding users | Flat $25 per user per month, any plan | Priced by plan tier | Priced by plan tier |
| Card needed to start the trial | Yes | No | No |
| Standout extra | Customer self-quoting (InstaQuote, Elite) | Depth as an all-round office system | Review management from the first plan |
The short version: QuoteIQ is the stronger quoting specialist, Jobber is the stronger all-round office system, and Housecall Pro builds marketing and review management in from the start. Price alone doesn’t settle it: at five users the three land within about $80 a month of each other, so the choice turns on your bottleneck — quoting speed, office depth, or review-led growth. For the full two-way breakdown of the incumbents, see Jobber vs Housecall Pro, head to head.
Is QuoteIQ Worth It? Who It Fits and Who Should Look Elsewhere
QuoteIQ fits the quoting-led washing business. If you price most jobs from property size — driveways, house washes, roofs, fences — and you want a written, signed price before you drive out, Beginner at $99.99 a month is the plan that earns its money, because no rival builds satellite measuring into the estimate itself. A solo operator who prices by phone can start on Essentials for $29.99 and get branded, signed quotes — as long as they walk in knowing the measuring isn’t in it.
QuoteIQ fits less well in four cases. First, a business running several crews that lives on dispatch: assignment, routing, and crew tracking are Pro, Elite, and Max features, and the price advantage fades as you climb to them — give Jobber and Housecall Pro a side-by-side trial first. Second, a business that grows on reviews: Housecall Pro includes review management on its first plan, so if reviews are your engine, start there. Third, a business living inside QuickBooks and a sales pipeline pays Pro or Elite money with any of the three — decide that one on a trial, not a review. Fourth, a business that only needs cheap quoting software — no CRM, no dispatch — should look at Joist, whose Basics plan is $10 a month (capped at five documents), with Pro at $17 and Elite at $32.
If one of those cases sounds like you, our guides to the best Jobber alternatives and Housecall Pro alternatives work through the options in this price range.
The Verdict
Pick QuoteIQ if measuring and quoting speed is your bottleneck. Don’t pick Essentials expecting the advertised tool — the measuring isn’t in it. Don’t pick QuoteIQ if you run several crews and live on dispatch: the features you’d lean on sit in the upper plans, where the price gap against Jobber and Housecall Pro mostly closes.
Then test it like a washer, not like a software shopper. Run the 14-day free trial on the exact plan you would pay for — the trial only unlocks that plan’s features. In those two weeks: measure three real properties with MapMeasure Pro and check the numbers against a tape measure on site. Build one good/better/best options estimate for a house wash and get it signed. Turn on the follow-up automation and watch whether quotes stop dying in your inbox. Price a week of real jobs both ways and compare the hours. If the measuring holds up and the quoting time drops, the plan pays for itself in saved drive-outs. If it doesn’t, you’ve spent two weeks and no money finding out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does QuoteIQ cost?
Five plans: Essentials at $29.99 a month for one user, Beginner at $99.99 for two, Pro at $199.99 for four, Elite at $299.99 for ten, and Max at $699.99 for twenty. Extra users cost $25 per user per month on any plan, and annual billing charges for 10 months and gives 12.
Does the cheapest QuoteIQ plan include satellite measuring?
No. MapMeasure Pro starts on Beginner at $99.99 a month. Essentials at $29.99 covers estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments, and AI call answering — but no satellite measuring, no QuoteIQ Cam, and no inspection forms.
Does QuoteIQ have a free trial, and do you need a card?
Yes — every plan has a 14-day free trial with the full feature set of the plan you choose. A credit or debit card is required to start it, which is stricter than Jobber and Housecall Pro, where no card is needed.
What is QuoteIQ?
QuoteIQ is field service management software built around quoting: measure a property, send the estimate, schedule the job, invoice it, and take payment in one app. It was founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, both former home service business owners from a pressure washing background, and it’s now sold to more than 50 trades.
Does QuoteIQ charge per user?
Beyond the bundled number (one user on Essentials, up to twenty on Max), extra users cost a flat $25 per user per month on any plan, up to 100 extra.
Does QuoteIQ work for soft washing and roof cleaning, or just pressure washing?
All three. The measuring works the same way for a roof as for a driveway — AI AutoMeasure can trace a roof outline — and house washes price from measured wall area just like flatwork prices from square footage. QuoteIQ Cam’s before-and-after documentation covers soft wash and roof jobs too.
