Which to choose

Birdy is the better choice if

  • Two or more people in your office answer leads and you want each thread assigned to one person, with a Mine tab and Mark done.
  • You want to see how long each lead has waited, and speed to lead and close rate by rep in Reports.
  • You sell annual house wash plans with rotations (gutters every other visit, for example) and want the customer to sign the plan online.
  • You want every feature in one account rather than unlocking texting, pipelines and booking plan by plan.

QuoteIQ is the better choice if

  • You quote house washes, roofs and driveways from the office without a site visit and want satellite measuring on the estimate.
  • You want homeowners to get an instant price on your website and book and pay a deposit on their own.
  • You want to take card payments today, with financing through your processor.
  • You want a native App Store and Google Play app and route optimization in the same product.
  • You are a one-person shop and want a published price you can start on this week.

Which one is better for quoting pressure washing jobs?

It depends on whether you measure or the customer tells you. QuoteIQ is stronger at measuring: MapMeasure Pro lets you outline a roof, driveway or fence line on the satellite photo and puts the area on the estimate, and InstaQuote prices a job on your website before anyone calls. Birdy has neither.

Birdy is built around the quote you send after the lead comes in: good, better and best options from your price list, with minimums and bundles worked out for you, signed online by the customer. QuoteIQ's package estimates do something similar on every plan. See quotes and estimates and the pressure washing price calculator.

Which one works better with several people in the office?

Birdy, for following up leads as a team. Each thread can be assigned to one person, the Mine tab shows what is yours, each lead shows how long it has waited, and Reports shows speed to lead and close rate by rep. QuoteIQ's two-way texting starts on Pro and its pipelines on Elite, and we did not find a response-time report on the pages we checked.

What is not live in Birdy yet

Texting in Birdy is being connected, so texts to customers are not going out yet; email follow-ups work today. Card payments are coming. QuoteIQ has both today.

How do I move from QuoteIQ?

Export what your current tool lets you export (customers, jobs, price items) as spreadsheet files, then upload them in Birdy under Settings, then Import. The importer guesses each column from its header, you fix any guess before anything is saved, duplicates are matched, and past jobs arrive as history. The steps are on the switching page.
