QuoteIQ vs Jobber at a glance

Prices are USD list prices as of Oct 30, 2026, before tax, payment processing and add-ons. "Quote-based" means the vendor does not publish a price.

How the pricing actually works

Both companies publish prices, but they package them differently, which is why a quick "$29.99 vs $49" comparison misleads.

QuoteIQ sells five plans by user allowance: Essentials (1 user, $29.99/mo), Beginner (2 users, $99.99/mo), Pro (4 users, $199.99/mo), Elite (10 users, $299.99/mo) and Max (20 users, $699.99/mo). Extra users are $25/mo on any plan. Annual billing is "pay for 10 months, get 12", so Essentials is $299.99/yr and Elite is $2,999.99/yr. QuoteIQ pricing

Jobber sells four plans, then scales them by team size. A 1-user Core plan is $49/mo with no commitment. When you set Jobber's pricing page to a team of 2 to 5 people, the priced plans it shows are Connect ($199/mo with 5 users included), Grow ($299/mo) and Plus ($499/mo); it does not show a priced Core option for that team size. At 6 to 10 users Connect is $299/mo, Grow $399/mo and Plus $599/mo. The page also says users can be added for $29/mo each, so ask Jobber whether a second user can be added to Core before you assume you must jump to Connect. Jobber pricing

That means a two-person lawn crew is looking at QuoteIQ Beginner at $99.99/mo versus the $199/mo Jobber Connect plan (5 users included, no commitment) that its pricing page shows for a 2 to 5 person team. With a 1-year commitment or annual billing Jobber drops, but the gap is still real, unless Jobber lets you add a $29/mo user to Core. At one user the picture flips toward a close race: $29.99 vs $29 to $49 depending on how you pay Jobber.

Both vendors also show promotional first-term discounts on their pricing pages. We use list prices here because promos change weekly (Jobber's annual offer on its page said it ends October 30).

What each plan unlocks (the parts that matter for exterior and cleaning work)

Price only matters if the plan has the features you will use. Here is the short version of what each vendor says it includes.

QuoteIQ

• Essentials: estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments, recurring jobs and recurring billing, price book, e-signatures and customer financing through Stripe or Whop.
• Beginner: adds MapMeasure Pro satellite measuring, QuoteIQ Cam, expense tracking, Google Calendar sync and advanced analytics.
• Pro: adds email and text automation, in-app calling and texting, job costing, QuickBooks Online integration, a client portal, on-the-way texts and website contact forms.
• Elite: adds InstaQuote and InstaSchedule (customers quote and book themselves), route optimization, pipelines, inventory and purchase orders, mass campaigns and EmployeeHub GPS and time tracking.

Jobber

• Core: online booking, quotes, invoices and online payments, a basic website, reporting, and the app marketplace (100+ integrations).
• Connect: adds automated client reminders, automatic payments, checklists, automated quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks Online sync, and time and expense tracking.
• Grow: adds quotes with rich visuals and optional line items, automatic time tracking, job costing, two-way texting and custom automations.
• Plus: adds unlimited photos and videos, crew scheduling, expense capture with profit alerts, custom reports, a sales pipeline, a marketing suite, an AI Receptionist and premium onboarding and support.

Two things stand out. First, QuoteIQ puts measuring tools at its second tier, and Jobber does not list a measuring tool on its pricing page. Second, Jobber's quote follow-up automation starts at Connect ($139/mo), while QuoteIQ's equivalent text and email automation starts at Pro ($199.99/mo, 4 users). On a 1-user plan Jobber is cheaper for follow-ups; for a 4-user team QuoteIQ Pro is cheaper than Jobber's 5-user Connect or Grow plans.

Where QuoteIQ is the better fit

• You quote a lot of properties and want to skip site visits. MapMeasure Pro (Beginner and up) measures from satellite imagery. Pressure washing, lawn, fence and roof-adjacent jobs benefit most. Our QuoteIQ page lists the current plans.
• You are a solo operator on a tight budget. At $29.99/mo monthly with no annual lock-in, Essentials is the cheapest published entry plan in this comparison, and AI features are included on every plan according to QuoteIQ.
• You want customers to quote and book themselves. InstaQuote and InstaSchedule are built in at Elite ($299.99/mo, 10 users). With Jobber you would need a plan that includes online booking plus a third-party tool for instant quotes.
• You have a team of 3 to 10 and want the features in one price. Pro and Elite bundle job costing, automation, QuickBooks Online and routing without per-feature add-ons.

Where Jobber is the better fit

• You want the established name and the bigger ecosystem. Jobber lists an app marketplace with 100+ integrations, QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, Home Depot product pricing inside quotes, fleet GPS partners and a Spanish-language mobile app. QuoteIQ is newer and its integration list is shorter, so check that the tools you rely on are supported before you switch.
• You are a one-person shop that mainly needs quotes, invoices and online payments. Jobber Core at $29/mo billed annually is cheaper than QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99/mo if you will prepay for the year. (Jobber's page said its first-year annual promo ends October 30, so confirm the price you see.)
• You do several trades. Jobber's industries list is long (cleaning, lawn care, landscaping, pool, pressure washing, window cleaning and more). It is a safe generalist.
• You expect to grow past 10 users. Jobber's Plus tier lists crew scheduling, pipeline, a marketing suite and premium support. QuoteIQ tops out at Max (20 users, $699.99/mo).

The reviews you will find online are polarized. Some contractors praise QuoteIQ's price and some complain about Jobber's add-ons and per-user growth, while others say QuoteIQ is too new. We have not tested either product ourselves, so treat user quotes as anecdotes and use the free trials.

A decision guide by business type

Solo pressure washer or lawn operator: start with QuoteIQ Essentials if you measure on site or mostly price by the job, or Beginner ($99.99/mo, 2 users) if satellite measuring will save you drives. Choose Jobber Core if you prefer its client-facing quote and are fine paying $29 to $49/mo for the basics.

Small cleaning company with 2 to 4 cleaners on the schedule: compare QuoteIQ Pro ($199.99/mo, 4 users, recurring billing and automations) against Jobber Connect for 5 users ($199/mo, reminders and automatic payments). The price is nearly identical, so the decision comes down to whose quote, invoice and client messages you like better. Run both trials with the same five customers.

Growing lawn care crew with 5 to 10 people: QuoteIQ Elite ($299.99/mo for 10 users) is much cheaper than Jobber Grow for 10 users ($399/mo) or Plus ($599/mo), but you should confirm routing, scheduling and the mobile app work for your crews. If route density is your main pain, also look at GorillaDesk (priced per route, unlimited users) in our lawn care software guide.

Mixed-trade company or a plan to add HVAC or plumbing work: look at Jobber alternatives and Housecall Pro too. See QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro if you want a flat-rate pricebook and service plans.

How to test both in one afternoon

1. Pick five real customers and one recurring job. Build the same quote in both apps and time it.
2. Send each quote to your own phone. Check how it looks, how the approve and pay buttons work, and how many taps the customer needs.
3. Schedule the job for two crew members and see what the crew sees on their phone.
4. Connect your payment processor and a $1 test invoice. Processing rates are separate from the subscription and each vendor sets them differently, so look at the rate you are offered in the app.
5. Check cancellation and data export. QuoteIQ says there are no contracts or cancellation fees and your data stays available for export. Jobber's annual plans are billed up front and renew automatically unless you turn off renewal.
