A 2 to 5 tech soft-wash crew is buying dispatch, mix tracking, and a published seat bill, not a 1-user floor. The useful choice is the pricing unit and chemistry claims, not a ranked winner. Figures are from vendor pages last checked 2026-09-06. This page does not rank a winner.

## Who this is for

A soft-wash or mixed exterior-cleaning shop with about 2 to 5 techs. You need a published crew bill, not a solo default and not an enterprise stack.

One-user floors stay on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). Chemistry taxonomy for any crew size stays on the [soft wash guide](/guides/soft-wash-software). This page is the 2-to-5 seat question only.

## How we sourced this

Primary vendor pricing, help, and industry pages only, retrieved 2026-09-06. Prices and feature gates come from pricing, plan, or help pages. Soft-wash chemistry, SH mix, supplies cost, and satellite square-footage lines are vendor claims unless a dated help article states the same gate.

Three editorial buckets, not winners: (1) pressure-wash / soft-wash native tools with published crew pricing, (2) horizontal field-service platforms with a pressure-washing landing page, (3) opaque or network products.

> Verified fact: We did not import competitor price tables from CrewNest, Opervo, QuoteIQ, or MakeWash as PressureWashStack facts. Those columns are vendor marketing. Workiz still publishes Request pricing only.

> Editorial judgment: A marketing page that starts at $29.99 and then describes Elite-gated inventory is not the same source as the pricing matrix. When those pages disagree, the matrix and the 2026 help article win, and the mismatch is labeled.

Gaps we will not fill: collapsed FAQ accordions, Jobber JavaScript widgets beyond the published Includes 5 bands we cite, and Workiz dollars that require a quote.

## What a small soft-wash crew needs

**A published seat bill for 2 to 5 logins.** A 1-user Free or Essentials card is the wrong default. Ask how many seats sit on the plan you will actually buy, and what the next seat costs.

**Chemistry that is not a notes field.** Soft Wash Chef mix ratios, per-job SH / surfactant / fuel logs, and drum-level inventory are three different claims. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Workiz are **NOT CLAIMED** on mix and satellite takeoffs on the pages we fetched.

**Measure before the truck rolls.** Roof square and siding area drive tickets. Satellite Scout, MapMeasure, and sketch-to-$/sqft are vendor claims. Horizontal FSM pages are **THIN** here.

**Dispatch that matches headcount.** Route optimization, route density, and a day board are often gated. Confirm the plan, not the industry hero.

**Books after the last stop.** QuickBooks is often not on the cheap plan. Prefer help for one-way versus two-way. Direction stays on the [QuickBooks guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-with-quickbooks).

## Quick compare

> Verified fact: These are public list prices we could confirm on 2026-09-06. Units differ (included seats, estimate caps, IQ credits, pricing on request, weekly network fees). Do not compare the dollar figures as if they buy the same thing.

| Product | Bucket | Published 2-to-5 floor | Soft-wash chem / satellite | Trial / entry |

CrewNest Free ($0, 1 user), Opervo Solo ($24.99, 2 users), QuoteIQ Essentials ($29.99, 1 user), Housecall Pro Basic (1 user), and Jobber Core (Just me) are solo-default floors. They are not the hero rows here. See the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators).

## Worked seat math

Do not treat this as a ranked cheaper-product table. Each row buys a different stack.

> Verified fact: CrewNest Pro is $29/month or $290/year with unlimited team members and no per-user fee ([CrewNest pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing), retrieved 2026-09-07). Older seed copy that used 3 seats then +$5/user (including $34 / $39 worked monthly totals and a $410/year 5-person figure) is stale against live Pro.

> Verified fact: Do not import CrewNest’s [pressure washing CRM page](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm) Jobber or Housecall Pro $1,788/year columns as our facts. Those columns are vendor marketing. Older CRM-page 5-crew arithmetic that assumed extra seats is not the live Pro bill.

> Verified fact: Opervo Team is $54.99/month or $549/year, up to 10 members ([Opervo pricing](https://www.opervo.io/pricing)). Opervo Solo at $24.99/month is operator plus 1 helper (2 users). Solo is not the default bill for a 3-to-5 tech query.

> Verified fact: QuoteIQ Beginner is $74.99/month or $749.99/year (2 users). Pro is $149.99/month or $1,499.99/year (4 users). Elite is $299/month or $2,990/year. Help and the public pricing matrix list Elite at **10** users. Soft-wash SEO pages still print **7** users on Elite. Prefer help and pricing: 10. Essentials at $29.99 is 1 user.

> Verified fact: Jobber Core is Just me only. Do not invent a Core-plus-four-extra-seats total. The published Includes 5 bands on [Jobber pricing](https://www.getjobber.com/pricing/) are Connect $199 / $169 / $149 (no-commit / 1-year monthly / billed annually) and Grow $299 / $259 / $229 (same three columns).

> Verified fact: Housecall Pro Basic is 1 user (wrong default). Essentials includes 5 users at $149/month billed annually or $189 month-to-month, extra users $100/month. MAX includes 8 users at $299 / $329, extra users $75/month. Do not reuse older third-party $35/user figures.

> Editorial judgment: A 5-tech shop comparing CrewNest Pro at $29/month (unlimited team, retrieved 2026-09-07) to Opervo Team at $54.99, QuoteIQ Elite at $299, Jobber Connect Includes 5 at $149 to $199, and Housecall Pro Essentials at $149 to $189 is comparing different units. Price the plan that lists the feature you need.

## Pressure-wash / soft-wash natives with published crew pricing

These are fit notes against published pricing and documented claims. They are not awards.

### CrewNest Pro

CrewNest markets exclusively to pressure washing and exterior cleaning ([CRM page](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm)). Pro is the crew card: $29/month or $290/year, unlimited team members, no per-user fee ([pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing), retrieved 2026-09-07). Free is 1 user. Wrong default here.

The CRM page claims Soft Wash Chef mix ratios for sodium hypochlorite, surfactant, and water, Satellite Scout unlimited on Pro, and route optimization on Pro. Chemistry, satellite, and offline PWA behavior are vendor claims.

> Unverified: CrewNest QuickBooks. QBO is not on the fetched pricing page. Vendor comparison pages claim it. That is a vendor claim, not a matrix fact, until a help or integrations page confirms it.

Trial: 14 days of Pro. Pricing also states a 30-day money-back guarantee on Pro. Do not copy CrewNest’s on-page Jobber or Housecall Pro dollar columns.

### Opervo Team

Opervo Team is $54.99/month or $549/year for up to 10 ([pricing](https://www.opervo.io/pricing)). Solo at $24.99 is 2 users only. The [pressure-washing](https://www.opervo.io/pressure-washing) and [features](https://www.opervo.io/features) pages claim per-job SH, surfactant, and fuel logging plus sketch-on-satellite pricing at your $/sqft rate. [Roof cleaning](https://www.opervo.io/roof-cleaning) repeats map-trace quoting and markets Solo as the hero. Route My Day is claimed included.

A Soft Wash Chef-style mix-ratio calculator is **not clearly claimed**. Opervo logs supplies cost. That is not the same product shape as a named mix calculator.

> Verified fact: FLAG CONFLICT. The features page documents QuickBooks Online invoice sync one way, Opervo to QuickBooks. The homepage prints “two-way sync with QuickBooks Online.”

Payments go through your own Square or Stripe. Opervo claims **0% Opervo markup**. You still pay the processor. Trial: 14 days, no card.

Do not import Opervo’s on-page Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Markate columns as our prices.

### QuoteIQ Beginner, Pro, and Elite

Trust the help matrix over soft-wash SEO.

> Verified fact: [Pricing](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/) and the [2026 help article](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026) gate MapMeasure to **Beginner+**, job costing and QuickBooks to **Pro+**, and inventory plus route optimization / density / dispatch to **Elite+**. Prefer help one-way QuoteIQ to QuickBooks Online over marketing two-way lines.

> Verified fact: Soft-wash industry and CRM pages market MapMeasure, reviews, and chemical tools “starting at $29.99/month” on Essentials. The matrix contradicts that. Treat those SEO pages as overselling the Essentials floor.

> Verified fact: Elite user count is inconsistent. Help and pricing list **10**. Soft-wash SEO pages still print **7**. Prefer help and pricing: 10.

Trial: 14 days, card required, 250 IQ credits on the trial (not the paid allotment). Two-product units stay on [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber), [QuoteIQ vs Opervo](/compare/quoteiq-vs-opervo), [QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro](/compare/quoteiq-vs-housecall-pro), and [CrewNest vs Opervo](/compare/crewnest-vs-opervo). Wash-native versus QuoteIQ stays on [CrewNest vs QuoteIQ](/compare/crewnest-vs-quoteiq). Wash-native versus Jobber stays on [CrewNest vs Jobber](/compare/crewnest-vs-jobber). Wash-native versus Workiz stays on [CrewNest vs Workiz](/compare/crewnest-vs-workiz). QuoteIQ versus Workiz stays on [QuoteIQ vs Workiz](/compare/quoteiq-vs-workiz).

## Soft-wash depth callout

> Verified fact: CrewNest names Soft Wash Chef (SH, surfactant, water) on the CRM page and ships a public [Soft Wash Mix Calculator](https://www.crewnest.app/tools/soft-wash-chef). MakeWash claims structured mix, dwell, and surface fields. Opervo claims per-job SH / surfactant / fuel cost and sketch-to-$/sqft. QuoteIQ markets SH inventory and per-job chemical costing on SEO pages; the published inventory gate is Elite+.

> Verified fact: Jobber’s pressure-washing page, Housecall Pro’s pressure-washing page, and Workiz’s pressure-washing page do **NOT CLAIM** Soft Wash Chef, SH mix calculators, or satellite square-footage takeoffs. Those surfaces are **THIN**.

> Editorial judgment: If mix math is why you open software this week, read CrewNest Soft Wash Chef URLs first, then MakeWash mix/dwell, then Opervo supplies logging. If satellite takeoffs are why you buy this month, CrewNest Pro (unlimited claimed) or QuoteIQ Beginner+ are the published gates. If SH drum inventory across trucks is why you buy, QuoteIQ Elite+ is the published gate. Horizontal FSM is scheduling and invoices, not a documented chem stack.

## Horizontal FSM with pressure-washing landings

Useful for scheduling, estimates, invoices, and payments. Not documented as soft-wash chemistry platforms on the pages we could read.

### Jobber

> Verified fact: Connect Includes 5 publishes $199 / $169 / $149 (no-commit / 1-year monthly / billed annually). Grow Includes 5 publishes $299 / $259 / $229 in the same three columns ([Jobber pricing](https://www.getjobber.com/pricing/)). Core is Just me only.

QuickBooks Online and route optimization sit on Connect+. Richer quotes, two-way SMS, and job costing sit on Grow+. Chem and satellite are **NOT CLAIMED** on the [pressure-washing page](https://www.getjobber.com/industries/pressure-washing-software/). Trial: 14 days of Grow features, no card.

1-user Core math stays on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators) and [Housecall Pro vs Jobber](/compare/housecall-pro-vs-jobber). This page quotes the Includes 5 band.

### Housecall Pro

> Verified fact: Essentials is $149/month billed annually or $189 month-to-month, 5 users, extra $100/month. MAX is $299 / $329, 8 users, extra $75/month ([HCP pricing](https://www.housecallpro.com/pricing/)). Basic is 1 user.

Routes sit on Essentials. Route optimization sits on MAX. QuickBooks sits on Essentials+. Card processing is listed as low as 2.59%. Bank payments 1%. Offline **viewing** only; editing offline is not supported on help. Chem and satellite are **NOT CLAIMED** on the [PW page](https://www.housecallpro.com/industries/pressure-washing-software/). Trial: 14-day MAX, no card.

Do not reuse older $35/user writeups.

## Opaque and special-case products

### Workiz (opaque)

> Verified fact: Standard / Pro / Ultimate show Request pricing ([Workiz pricing plans](https://www.workiz.com/pricing-plans/)). Seat dollars are a **GAP**. FAQ: 7-day trial, no card. The [pressure washing page](https://www.workiz.com/industries/pressure-washing/) claims estimates, scheduling, payments, and a mobile app. Chem is **NOT CLAIMED**.

Ask for a written quote that includes users and Genius add-ons. Until that quote exists, this guide will not invent a monthly total.

### SoftWash Systems Keap (special case)

> Verified fact: [Keap CRM Weekly](https://shop.softwashsystems.com/keap-crm-weekly.html) is $99.00 excluding tax, with a 52-week commitment and no payment pauses. The shop disables guest checkout and shows an Affiliate/Franchise login.

Arithmetic only, not a cancel-anytime SaaS bill: $99 per week times 52 is $5,148/year, about $429/month. That arithmetic is ours. It is not a published monthly card. This is a network-gated weekly product. Do not drop it into a $29 to $55 CRM table as if it were the same class.

## Budget adjacent

These are published cheap or $0-adjacent cards. They are not the 2-to-5 hero table. $0 language stays on the [free software guide](/guides/free-pressure-washing-software).

### MakeWash

> Verified fact: [makewash.com/software](https://makewash.com/software) is free today, with a stated future $49/month and a month of notice. It claims per-sqft estimating across 7 surfaces and structured soft-wash chemistry. Seat count, routing, and QuickBooks are a **GAP**. Frame as an early product, not a finished crew FSM.

### PowerWashOffice Teams

> Verified fact: [PowerWashOffice pricing](https://powerwash.software/pricing) lists Teams at $30/month plus $5 per additional member. How many seats sit in the $30 base is a **GAP**. Chem depth is a **GAP**. There is no PressureWashStack vendor profile yet.

### The Customer Factor

> Verified fact: [Join now](https://thecustomerfactor.com/join-now) publishes $44.95/month or $449.50/year and a 30-day money-back guarantee. No free trial found on the fetched pages. Seat count, soft-wash chemistry, and a documented QBO sync are a **GAP**. Headline includes pressure washers ([home](https://thecustomerfactor.com/)). Treat as a general service CRM, not a wash-native quoting tool.

## 15-minute choose checklist

Use this on a timer. It is a filter, not a ranking.

1. Write your headcount this month: 2, 3, 4, or 5 logins. Cross out 1-user floors.
2. Write the week: house/roof soft wash vs concrete blast vs mixed trades.
3. If you need a named mix calculator this week, read CrewNest Soft Wash Chef. Opervo is a supplies log. Jobber / Housecall Pro / Workiz are NOT CLAIMED.
4. If you need satellite takeoffs this month, look at CrewNest Pro (unlimited claimed) or QuoteIQ Beginner+. Essentials is not the published MapMeasure plan.
5. If you need SH inventory across trucks this month, the published QuoteIQ gate is Elite+, not the soft-wash SEO hero.
6. If you need QuickBooks this month, write the gate: QuoteIQ Pro+ (help is one-way); Jobber Connect+; Housecall Pro Essentials+; Opervo features page is one-way and the homepage conflicts; CrewNest QBO is a vendor claim, not a matrix fact.
7. Work the seat math on the plan you will buy: CrewNest Pro (unlimited team); Opervo Team; QuoteIQ Beginner/Pro/Elite; Jobber Includes 5; Housecall Pro Essentials. Do not invent a Core-plus-four-extra-seats total.
8. If a vendor will not show a dollar, stop and request a written Workiz quote.
9. If you are inside SoftWash Systems, price Keap as $99/week for 52 weeks. The $429/month and $5,148/year figures are arithmetic only.
10. On any trial: mix or log one real house-wash batch, measure one roof or siding surface, assign two techs, and try photos on a weak-signal street.

## 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 overwrite the [soft wash guide](/guides/soft-wash-software) or the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). Those pages stay the chemistry taxonomy and the 1-user floors. We did not redo solo math as the hero table.

We did not import CrewNest, Opervo, QuoteIQ, or MakeWash competitor price tables as our facts. We did not invent a Workiz monthly total. We did not invent a Core-plus-four-extra-seats Jobber total. We did not reuse Housecall Pro $35/user figures. We did not treat QuoteIQ’s soft-wash SEO page as the plan matrix. We did not confirm CrewNest QuickBooks from pages that do not list it on pricing. We did not add pool-route vendors. We did not create new vendor collection files for PowerWashOffice, The Customer Factor, or SoftWash Keap.

PressureWashStack does not earn commissions or affiliate revenue. Links in this guide are ordinary vendor URLs, not tracking links. See the [affiliate disclosure](/affiliate-disclosure). Other directory listings stay on the [directory](/directory).

## Update log

- 2026-09-07: CrewNest Pro seats refreshed from live pricing. Pro is unlimited team members / no per-user fee at $29/mo or $290/yr. Older 3-seat then +$5 arithmetic is stale.
- 2026-09-06: First published. Floors from vendor pricing, help, and industry pages retrieved the same day. No ranked winner. See the affiliate disclosure.
