A short overview of what QuoteIQ does for a handyman business.
The short version
- What it is: quoting software that also answers your phone -- an AI Virtual Call Team plus an AI Estimator, in one app.
- The AI part: the Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, the AI Estimator quotes from photos, and an AI Copilot helps with the daily grind.
- What it costs: Essentials is $29.99/mo, so from about $30/mo, for one user with no per-user fees.
- Best for: a handyman losing jobs to missed calls or slow quotes who wants both fixed cheaply.
- Why it stands out: it's the lowest-priced option we've seen that packs call answering and quoting into one plan.
Common questions
How much does QuoteIQ cost?
Essentials is $29.99/mo, so figure about $30/mo, for one user with no per-user fees. Tiers change, so confirm the current rate on the vendor's page.
Does it answer calls with AI?
Yes. The AI Virtual Call Team picks up your inbound calls around the clock, so a customer who rings while you're on a job still gets answered. It's the cheapest bundle of call answering plus quoting we've come across.
Can it quote from photos?
Yes. The AI Estimator builds a quote from photos, which is handy when every handyman job is a little different and tough to price sight unseen. There's an AI Copilot for daily tasks too.
Can a local pro set it up for me?
Yes. A local consultant can load your pricing, build your templates, and turn on the AI call answering so no call slips and quotes go out clean. Find one by zip below.
What does it actually do for a handyman?
Two things cost a handyman jobs more than anything else: a call you couldn't grab, and a quote that took too long. QuoteIQ goes after both. The AI Virtual Call Team answers your phone 24/7, so when a homeowner calls at 2 p.m. while you're wrist-deep under a sink, the call still gets picked up instead of going to three other handymen. First to answer, or first to call back, usually books the job.
Then there's the quoting. Handyman work is different on every visit, so it's hard to price without eyes on it. QuoteIQ's AI Estimator lets you build a quote from photos, which speeds up the part that usually drags. Add the AI Copilot for the daily odds and ends, and you've got call answering and quoting in one plan. It's not built to run your whole back office, so if you also want full scheduling and dispatch, pair it with something like ServiceM8 or Housecall Pro. What it does well is stop the two leaks that lose you small jobs.
What does it cost?
QuoteIQ's Essentials plan is $29.99/mo, so round it to about $30/mo. That covers one user, and there's no per-user fee, which keeps it simple if you bring on a hand. Some features may sit on higher tiers, so price the plan against what you'll actually use rather than the headline rate. Check the current numbers with the vendor before you sign up.

Where does it shine, and where doesn't it?
Strong if…
- Missed calls and slow quotes are the two things costing you jobs.
- You want call answering and quoting in one cheap plan, not two subscriptions.
- You like the idea of quoting a job straight from photos.
Maybe not if…
- You want one app to run scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing too -- pair QuoteIQ with ServiceM8 or Housecall Pro for that.
- Your quoting is already quick and your phone's already covered.
- You'd rather start on a free plan first (see ServiceM8).
