This QuoteIQ review is a documented feature-and-pricing guide for U.S. HVAC and landscaping operators, not a hands-on test. It relies on QuoteIQ’s own pricing page and features page, checked October 10, 2026. No independent reviews were used.
Short answer: who QuoteIQ fits
QuoteIQ fits an owner who wants one system to move a residential service job from estimate to proposal, signature, schedule, invoice, and payment, and who will verify the plan-specific limits before moving the whole office workflow into it.
Its documented workflow is relevant when the estimating process is the bottleneck: a technician or office user needs to create a standard, options-based, package, or quick estimate; send a proposal; collect an e-signature; then turn the accepted estimate into an invoice and scheduled job. QuoteIQ also lists online payments, deposits, card on file, a customer portal, and calendar scheduling among its features. QuoteIQ’s features page is the source for those descriptions.
Start with a trial only if you can test one complete job cycle with real internal data: build an estimate, send it, follow up, schedule the accepted work, invoice it, and reconcile the accounting handoff. The trial is fourteen days on every plan and requires a credit or debit card, according to QuoteIQ’s pricing page. A trial on a lower tier does not unlock higher-tier tools.

What QuoteIQ is and who it is for
QuoteIQ presents itself as field-service estimating and operations software for home-service businesses. Its listed industries include HVAC, landscaping, lawn care, irrigation, snow removal, plumbing, and electrical. The product’s stated role is to support estimates, proposals, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and related customer communication in one workflow. Those are vendor descriptions, not independent performance findings. QuoteIQ’s features page provides the product list.
For HVAC, quote options are useful only when each option carries complete scope, equipment details, exclusions, labor allowance, and payment terms. Pricing discipline still starts with the business’s own cost structure; use Average HVAC Hourly Rate: How to Set Yours to establish the labor component before configuring estimate templates.
For landscaping, the system needs to preserve the production details behind the quoted service: visit frequency, crew tasks, site notes, seasonal scope, and change work. Estimating, scheduling, and job-cost review must connect, even when they happen in different systems. See our landscaping estimating, scheduling, and job-costing guide and our landscape field-service software evaluation guide for workflow questions to apply during evaluation.
QuoteIQ plans and pricing (checked October 10, 2026)
Choose the tier by required user count and the workflow you need in production, not by the starting price alone. QuoteIQ lists monthly and annual options; annual plans are billed upfront and described as saving two months yearly.
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Included users | IQ Credits per month | Listed additions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $29.99 | $299.99 | 1 | 500 | Estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments, AI Virtual Call Team |
| Beginner | $99.99 | $999.99 | 2 | 1,500 | MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, expense tracking, e-signatures, advanced analytics |
| Pro | $199.99 | $1,999.99 | 4 | 3,000 | Email and text automation, in-app calling and texting, job costing, QuickBooks integration, website contact form |
| Elite | $299.99 | $2,999.99 | 10 | 5,000 | EmployeeHub, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, route optimization, pipelines, inventory, mass campaigns |
| Max | $699.99 | $6,999.99 | 20 | 8,000 | AI Website Builder, sales-team tracker, crew management, priority support |
The table reflects QuoteIQ’s published plans checked October 10, 2026. See the current QuoteIQ pricing details before making a purchase decision, because plan terms can change.
A useful decision rule: if you require job costing, an accounting integration, and more than two office or field users, test Pro first rather than trying to make a lower plan carry an operational workflow it does not list. If route optimization, inventory, pipeline management, or larger-team scheduling is required, test the applicable higher-tier workflow before assuming it will match your process.
QuoteIQ says upgrades take effect immediately with a prorated charge, while downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle. It also says there are no change fees. Its Price-Lock Guarantee applies only while you remain on the same plan.
After comparing the plans and user limits, you can explore QuoteIQ through its website and check which features and usage allowances fit your workflow before choosing a subscription.
Estimating, proposals, scheduling and payments
The value proposition is the handoff sequence, so test the sequence rather than isolated screens. QuoteIQ describes standard estimates, options estimates that put tiered choices on one page, package estimates, and quick estimates. It also lists proposals, e-signatures, estimate-to-invoice conversion, scheduling and calendar functions, online payments, deposits, card on file, and a customer portal. QuoteIQ’s feature page describes these capabilities.
A sensible evaluation workflow is:
- Create a reusable estimate template for one common job type.
- Build an options proposal that includes scope, exclusions, deposit terms, and expiration language your business uses.
- Send it to a test customer contact and check what the recipient sees on a phone.
- Capture an approval and confirm the selected option becomes the correct work order or invoice.
- Schedule the work, assign the responsible user, and verify the field view contains the approved scope.
- Record a deposit or card payment in the test environment, then confirm how it appears in the accounting workflow.
QuoteIQ’s pricing page lists an accounting integration on Pro. Do not treat the presence of an integration label as proof of an accounting design. Ask which records sync, whether taxes and deposits map correctly, how credit memos or partial payments are handled, and who owns error resolution. HVAC Accounting Software: How to Choose a System That Fits Your Workflow provides a practical accounting-integration test plan.
QuoteIQ for HVAC and landscaping: scenarios to test
For quoteiq for HVAC, test an actual repair decision with options rather than a simple single-line estimate. A contractor could test whether an options estimate clearly separates a basic repair tier, a more complete repair tier, and replacement-related work; retains diagnostic notes and exclusions; captures an approval; and passes the selected scope to the scheduled technician. Confirm that the template reflects your calculated labor rate rather than an arbitrary preset. our guide to choosing HVAC apps offers a wider system-selection framework.
For quoteiq for landscaping, use service patterns that expose scheduling and scope-control problems:
- Build a recurring lawn-service estimate with visit notes, frequency, and a clear seasonal scope.
- Prepare a snow-removal quote with service triggers, exclusions, and documentation requirements.
- Create an irrigation repair estimate using field measurements or photos, then verify the crew receives the right site instructions.
- Send an unsigned estimate, run the documented follow-up process, and check whether the office can see its status without a separate spreadsheet.
QuoteIQ lists MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, AI estimate tools, and the industries above, but the operational outcome depends on how your team configures templates, rates, approvals, and dispatch rules.
Extra users, storage, IQ Credits and fees to budget for
Budget for the operating limits around the base subscription. QuoteIQ lists extra users at $25 per user per month on any plan. File Manager storage rises by plan from 25 GB to 125 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB, and 1 TB. QuoteIQ also lists extra storage at $9.99 per month for 100 GB, $34.99 per month for 500 GB, and $99.99 per month for 2 TB. QuoteIQ’s pricing page is the source for these charges.
IQ Credits power AI features. The published allocation resets each billing cycle and does not roll over. On Essentials, Beginner, and Pro, QuoteIQ says each proposal costs 100 credits per estimate; it waives that charge during the trial and on Elite and Max. The published pages did not state prices for additional credits. Ask for the current credit cost before estimating your monthly operating cost.
QuoteIQ names Stripe and Whop as the providers for customer financing, says it is not the lender, and says the processor determines fees and eligibility. Processing fees are not stated on the supplied pages. Confirm those fees, deposit timing, chargeback handling, and financing eligibility before presenting either payment path to customers.
An illustrative monthly cost for a five-person crew
For illustration: this example assumes five paid users need access and the business needs Pro-level functions. It uses QuoteIQ’s published pricing; it does not include processing, extra credits, storage, or tax.
Assumptions: Pro includes four users at $199.99 per month. One additional user costs $25 per month. Elite is listed at $299.99 per month and includes ten users.
Calculation: $199.99 + $25 = $224.99 per month for Pro plus one user.
Result: $224.99 per month is $75 less than the $299.99 monthly Elite price under these assumptions.
Interpretation: Pro plus one user costs less when the listed Pro functions are sufficient. Elite makes sense only if its listed functions or larger included-user allowance are required.
Action: Write down every person who needs a login—owner, dispatcher, estimator, technician, and crew lead—then price those roles before choosing a tier.
For the annual comparison, 12 × $199.99 = $2,399.88. QuoteIQ lists annual Pro at $1,999.99, a $399.89 difference from paying the published monthly Pro price for twelve months. That comparison excludes the fifth user, payment-processing charges, credits, and added storage.
Limitations and questions to ask before you sign up
The published information supports a feature and price review, not a conclusion about implementation quality, support responsiveness, adoption, or financial outcomes. Ask direct questions where the pages leave operational ambiguity.
- The features page says e-signatures are included on every plan, while the pricing cards list e-signatures under Beginner. Which plans include e-signatures in the current contract?
- What are the current prices for additional IQ Credits, and which actions consume them?
- Which plan-level feature gaps apply to proposals, automation, reporting, job costing, and customer communication?
- Which accounting records sync, in which direction, and how are duplicates and corrections handled?
- What integrations beyond the listed accounting integration are available and supported for your required workflow?
- What card-processing fees, financing eligibility rules, and funding timelines apply to your account?
- Does the trial offer vary by plan or promotion, and can your team test every required role before billing starts?
- What happens to files, estimates, customer records, and scheduled work if you downgrade or leave?
QuoteIQ demo checklist
Run this checklist with the people who will use the system, not only the person buying it.
- Create one HVAC repair options estimate from your own scope and labor-rate assumptions.
- Create one landscaping recurring-service estimate and one snow-removal quote.
- Attach the photos, notes, and documents your field lead needs, then check the mobile view.
- Send a proposal, collect a test approval, and inspect the e-signature record.
- Convert the approved estimate to an invoice and confirm the deposit process.
- Schedule the job, assign a user, and check for duplicate entry between office and field.
- Test an unsigned-estimate follow-up through the listed communication workflow.
- Measure credit consumption for the actions your staff will repeat.
- Confirm user permissions, storage limits, export options, and the support channel.
- Document every open accounting and payment question before the trial ends.
If QuoteIQ meets your estimating and scheduling requirements after testing, you can revisit QuoteIQ’s site to confirm the current terms and decide whether to proceed.
What we verified and what we did not
We verified the plan prices, included users, IQ Credit allocations, listed feature groups, trial and billing terms, storage charges, extra-user charge, and payment-provider descriptions against QuoteIQ’s own pricing page and features page, checked October 10, 2026.
We did not independently test QuoteIQ, use independent reviews, verify implementation outcomes, or verify plan behavior beyond the vendor’s published descriptions. We also did not verify processing fees, extra-credit pricing, trial-offer variations, plan-by-plan feature details, the e-signature discrepancy, or whether integrations other than the listed accounting integration meet a particular business’s needs. Get those answers in writing during the trial, then decide based on the completed workflow test.
