Updated 2026-09-06. No ranked winner.
CrewNest sells a wash-native Free/Pro stack. QuoteIQ sells named home-service plans with feature gates. Those units are not interchangeable, so this page does not name a cheaper product or a winner. Figures are from vendor pages checked 2026-09-06. We have not tested either app.

Two products
This is a pressure-wash-only CRM with a capped $0 floor versus a horizontal home-service CRM with a published $29.99 Essentials floor. The products do not sell the same units.
See the CrewNest and QuoteIQ profiles for documented functions, still without a field test. Soft-wash chemistry notes for the wider set stay on the soft wash guide. $0 language stays on the free software guide. QuoteIQ versus other named plans stays on QuoteIQ vs Jobber and QuoteIQ vs Opervo. This page is a two-product comparison only.
CrewNest’s CRM page also markets exclusivity versus horizontal field-service platforms. We did not copy that page’s competitor dollar columns for Jobber or Housecall Pro. Those floors live on our own pages.
The same CRM page also prints a franchise / per-territory claim of $29/month per active territory with unlimited users. That is marketing on the CRM page. It is not the solo Free or Pro floor on the pricing page.
How you pay
CrewNest sells Free Forever plus Pro, with estimate and satellite caps on Free and unlimited team members on Pro. QuoteIQ sells named plans with a fixed user count and a feature gate on each tier. You cannot subtract one published dollar from the other and get a breakeven.
| Plan | Users | Monthly | Yearly (as published) | Caps / extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Forever | 1 | $0 | n/a | Up to 3 estimates/mo; up to 10 satellite measurements; customer management; scheduling; basic invoicing; offline PWA |
| Pro | Unlimited team members; no per-user fee | $29 | $290/year | Unlimited estimates and satellite; booking portal; SMS included; email estimates/invoices; route optimization; advanced analytics |
Every account is advertised with 14 days of Pro. Cancel before day 14 and you are not charged. The pricing page also states a 30-day money-back guarantee on Pro.
| Plan | Users included | Monthly | Yearly (as published) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | 1 | $29.99 | $299.99/year |
| Beginner | 2 | $74.99 | $749.99/year |
| Pro | 4 | $149.99 | $1,499.99/year |
| Elite | 10 | $299 | $2,990/year |
| Max | Unlimited | $699 | $6,990/year |
The 1-user floor is Essentials at $29.99/month or $299.99/year. Yearly cards also show $25, $62.50, $125, $249, and $582.50 per-month equivalents. Unused AI credits do not roll over. The page states a 14-day free trial on all plans and a price-lock for active subscriptions.

When each fits
These are fit notes against published units and documented claims. They are not awards.
CrewNest is for a shop that wants a published $0 Free Forever floor (1 user, 3 estimates/month, 10 satellite measurements) or Pro at $29/month or $290/year (unlimited team members, no per-user fee; retrieved 2026-09-07), and that wants the CRM page’s Soft Wash Chef and satellite claims. The 14-day Pro trial and 30-day money-back line are on the pricing page. Native iOS/Android store apps and QuickBooks are not documented on the fetched pricing or CRM pages.
QuoteIQ is for a shop that wants a published sub-$30 Essentials floor, accepts an IQ-credit meter, wants a store-listed iOS/Android app, and can move to Beginner, Pro, or Elite when MapMeasure, QuickBooks, inventory, or routing appear on the matrix. Soft-wash chemistry and SH inventory are not documented on Essentials. MapMeasure is not on Essentials.
This page does not rank a winner. Quote both at the plan that lists the feature you need, then compare the written totals. CrewNest versus Opervo stays on CrewNest vs Opervo. CrewNest versus Jobber stays on CrewNest vs Jobber. CrewNest versus Housecall Pro stays on CrewNest vs Housecall Pro. CrewNest versus Workiz stays on CrewNest vs Workiz. QuoteIQ versus Jobber units stay on QuoteIQ vs Jobber. QuoteIQ versus Opervo stays on QuoteIQ vs Opervo. The wider solo set, including $0 tools and tools with pricing on request, stays on the solo operator guide.
What we did not do
We have not run these products on a live wash route. We are not recommending a single product. We are not publishing star ratings.
We did not redo the solo operator guide, the free software guide, the soft wash guide, QuoteIQ vs Jobber, QuoteIQ vs Opervo, or the QuickBooks guide. Those pages stay the workflow, $0 taxonomy, soft-wash taxonomy, other two-product bake-offs, and QuickBooks taxonomy. This page is the CrewNest versus QuoteIQ bake-off only.
We did not import CrewNest competitor price tables as our facts. We did not treat QuoteIQ’s soft-wash SEO page as the plan matrix. We did not assume CrewNest QuickBooks from pages that do not list it. We did not invent a QuoteIQ Soft Wash Chef equivalent. We did not treat the CRM-page franchise / per-territory $29 claim as the solo Free/Pro floor.
PressureWashStack does not earn commissions or affiliate revenue. Links on this page are ordinary vendor URLs, not tracking links. See the affiliate disclosure. Other directory listings stay on the directory.
