Jobber vs QuoteIQ: which is better for exterior cleaning?

QuoteIQ is the stronger quoting tool for exterior cleaners: satellite measuring from its $99.99 Beginner plan and an instant price form for your website from Elite. Jobber is the more polished all-round tool: a $29 entry plan, route optimization from Connect and a client hub, with a much longer track record. Both have native apps, card payments and 14-day trials (QuoteIQ's needs a card). Facts from both companies' own pages, checked November 12, 2026.

By the Birdy team · Facts checked

We make Birdy, which competes with both, so this is not an independent review. Every fact about Jobber and QuoteIQ comes from their own websites, help centers and app store listings, linked under Sources and checked November 12, 2026. Third-party figures are labelled.

Where Birdy fits

For an owner-run exterior cleaning company where several people in the office answer leads and speed to lead matters, we recommend Birdy: good, better and best quotes and service plans in every account, and each lead owned and timed. Birdy does not publish prices yet: pricing is set when your account is opened.

A good fit when

  • Several people answer leads and you want each thread assigned to one person, with each lead's age on the board.
  • You want speed to lead and close rate by rep in Reports.
  • You sell annual house wash plans with rotations and want customers to sign them online.
  • You want online booking with live time slots based on your crews' capacity in every account.

Look elsewhere when

  • You want satellite measuring or an instant price on your website: QuoteIQ has both and Birdy has neither.
  • You need card payments or texting today: both are coming in Birdy.
  • You need automatic route optimization, QuickBooks sync or a native App Store app.

Which to choose

Jobber is the better choice if

  • You want a low entry price for one person: Core is $29 a month billed annually.
  • You run routes and want route optimization on the second plan rather than the fourth.
  • You want published card fees and a client hub where customers approve quotes and pay.
  • You want a long track record and many connected apps.

QuoteIQ is the better choice if

  • You quote house washes, roofs and driveways from the office off a satellite view.
  • You want homeowners to get an instant price on your website and pay a deposit before anyone calls.
  • You want package quotes and recurring jobs on the cheapest plan.
  • You want software made by people from the pressure washing trade.

Which is better for quoting pressure washing jobs?

QuoteIQ, if you measure from the office. MapMeasure Pro lets you outline a roof, driveway or fence line on the satellite photo and puts the area on the estimate, and InstaQuote turns your website into a quote and deposit form. Jobber has no satellite measuring on the pages we checked, but its optional line items (from Grow) let the customer add upgrades and see the total change.

Is Jobber or QuoteIQ cheaper?

It depends on the features you need. For one person, Jobber Core ($29 billed annually) and QuoteIQ Essentials ($29.99) cost about the same. The gap opens on the features exterior cleaners want:
