Markdown: https://www.pressurewashstack.com/vendors/workiz.md --- # Best Pressure Washing Software for Solo Operators What a one-person wash shop should compare in software: pricing unit, quoting, chemistry, billing, and offline field work. Cited from vendor pages as of 2026-09-05. No ranked winner. A one-person wash shop is comparing quotes, invoices, and job photos without an office person. The useful choice is the pricing unit and quoting workflow, not the longest feature list. PressureWashStack has not hands-on tested these products. Figures are from vendor pages last checked 2026-09-05. This page does not rank a winner. Published 2026-09-05. Last checked 2026-09-05. ## Who this is for One person running the truck, the phone, and the books. You may add a helper. You are not buying dispatch software for a 10-tech office. This page is for residential and light commercial pressure washing, including soft wash if that is part of the week. It is not a franchise playbook and not a PoolProStack pool-route guide. ## How we sourced this Primary vendor pages only, retrieved 2026-09-05. Prices and feature gates come from pricing, plan, or help pages. Soft-wash chemistry, satellite takeoffs, and “offline” lines are vendor claims unless a dated help article states the same gate. > Verified fact: We did not import competitor price tables from Opervo, CrewNest, QuoteIQ, or MakeWash as if those dollars were ours. Jobber’s Connect and Grow month-to-month totals are treated as a JavaScript matrix gap. Workiz 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, Cloudflare-blocked Jobber industry HTML, and quote-gated Workiz dollars. ## What a solo operator actually needs **Quoting from the truck.** Square-footage house washes and concrete jobs are not an HVAC flat-rate book. Ask whether the tool sketches a driveway, stores a price book, or only opens a blank estimate. **Chemistry and proof of work.** Soft-wash mix ratios, dwell time, and before/after photos are different claims. A notes field is not a chemical calculator. Treat mix, SH tracking, and “Soft Wash Chef” lines as vendor claims until you mix a batch in a trial. **Invoicing, cards, and QuickBooks.** The subscription is only part of the admin cost. Processor fees, whether QuickBooks sits on the cheap plan, and whether sync is one-way or two-way change the hours after the last stop. **Offline or weak-signal work.** Several vendors say a mobile app or PWA works with limited connectivity. That is a trial item. A marketing line that the app is “offline” does not prove photos, invoices, and signatures all work without signal. ## Public 1-user floors, as published > Verified fact: These are the public list prices we could confirm on 2026-09-05. Units differ (included users, estimate caps, IQ credits, quote-gated). Do not compare the dollar figures as if they buy the same thing. | Product | Published 1-user floor | What that floor includes (as published) | Trial / entry | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Opervo Solo | $24.99/mo [1] | Operator + 1 helper. Vendor states every feature is on the plan, including chem-per-job and sketch-to-$/sqft on the pressure-washing page. | 14 days, no card | | QuoteIQ Essentials | $29.99/mo or $299.99/yr | 1 user. Estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments. MapMeasure starts at Beginner. QuickBooks starts at Pro. Inventory and routes start at Elite. [2] [3] | 14-day trial, card required, 250 IQ credits on the trial | | CrewNest Free | $0 | 1 user, 3 estimates/mo, 10 satellite measurements, basic invoicing, offline mode as a PWA | 14 days of Pro advertised | | CrewNest Pro | $29/mo or $290/yr | 3 seats, then +$5/user. Unlimited estimates and satellite measurements. Soft Wash Chef claimed on the CRM page. | 14-day Pro trial; 30-day money-back stated | | MakeWash | $0 today [4] | Per-sqft estimator and soft-wash chemistry tracking claimed. Vendor states paid plans will be $49/mo with one month of notice. | No card stated | | PowerWashOffice Owner | $0/mo | 1 user. Job management. Payment processing “rates vary.” | Not stated on the fetched pricing page | | The Customer Factor | $44.95/mo or $449.50/yr | CRM, scheduling, invoices, card payments. Chemistry and satellite measure are not primary claims. | 30-day money-back stated | | Housecall Pro Basic | $59/mo annual or $79/mo month-to-month | 1 user. Booking, invoices, scheduling, quotes. QuickBooks row sits on Essentials. Offline viewing listed on every plan. | 14-day trial, no card (marketing) | | Jobber Core | From $29/mo billed annually [5] | Title and meta: plans starting at $29/month. QuickBooks is claimed on the pricing page. | 14-day trial (Grow access), no card | | Workiz | Request pricing [6] | Standard / Pro / Ultimate cards show Request pricing. No official monthly dollar on the fetched page. | 7-day trial, no card | | SoftWash Systems Keap | $99/week [7] | 52-week commitment, no payment pauses. Network-gated shop login. | Not cancel-anytime SaaS | [1] Opervo’s pricing block advertises “Annual save 17%.” The exact annual dollar for Solo was not statically captured on the monthly view we fetched. Do not invent a $/year figure. [2] Paid Essentials lists 500 AI credits/month. The 2026 help article states every free trial starts with 250 IQ credits, not the paid allotment, and that a credit or debit card is required to start. [3] QuoteIQ’s [soft-washing CRM page](https://myquoteiq.com/crm-for-soft-washing) markets satellite measure, SH inventory, per-job chemical costing, and route tools “starting at $29.99/month.” The [public pricing matrix](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/) and the [2026 help article](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026) put MapMeasure on Beginner and up, QuickBooks and job costing on Pro and up, and inventory plus route optimization on Elite and up. Cite the matrix and help article. Treat the SEO page as overselling the Essentials floor. [4] MakeWash is a launch product. $0 today is the published bill. $49/month is a stated future price, not a current charge. FAQ answers on the software page did not expand in the static fetch. [5] Jobber title/meta: “Plans Starting at $29/Month.” A static fetch of getjobber.com/pricing also rendered a 1-user Core card at $49 no-commitment, $39 on a 1-year monthly commitment, and $29 billed annually. We are not publishing Connect or Grow month-to-month totals. Those cards were interleaved with JavaScript plan widgets. [6] Workiz has no official dollar on workiz.com/pricing-plans. Third-party Kickstart or Standard figures are out of scope. [7] SoftWash Systems Keap CRM Weekly is $99.00 excluding tax, “52 week commitment with no pauses in payments,” on a shop that gates guest checkout and shows an Affiliate/Franchise login. This is not a cancel-anytime SaaS floor. > Editorial judgment: A solo who wants $0 this month has three published options in this set: MakeWash (launch free), CrewNest Free (capped), and PowerWashOffice Owner (1 user). Those are not the same bill as Opervo Solo or QuoteIQ Essentials, and they are not comparable to Workiz until Workiz prints a number. SoftWash Keap is a network product, not a substitute for a $25 to $30 monthly CRM. ## Pressure-wash native shortlist These are fit notes against published pricing and documented claims. They are not awards. ### Opervo Solo Opervo publishes Solo at $24.99/month for the operator plus one helper, with a 14-day trial and no credit card ([Opervo home](https://www.opervo.io/), [features](https://www.opervo.io/features)). The pressure-washing page claims SH, surfactant, and fuel logging per job, plus sketch-on-satellite pricing at your $/sqft rate. Those are vendor claims, not a PressureWashStack field test. The features page documents QuickBooks Online as invoice sync one way, Opervo to QuickBooks. The homepage also says “two-way sync with QuickBooks Online.” Treat direction as a confirm-on-trial item. Square or Stripe is claimed at 0% Opervo markup. You still pay the processor. Do not use Opervo’s on-page Jobber or Housecall Pro columns as our prices. ### CrewNest CrewNest markets exclusively to pressure washing and exterior cleaning. Free is $0 with explicit estimate and satellite caps. Pro is $29/month or $290/year with three seats ([CrewNest pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing)). The CRM page claims satellite quoting and Soft Wash Chef mix ratios for sodium hypochlorite, surfactant, and water, plus a PWA that works “even with limited connectivity” ([CrewNest pressure washing CRM](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm)). Chemistry and offline behavior are vendor claims. QuickBooks is not documented on the fetched pricing or CRM pages. ### MakeWash MakeWash is published as free today, with a stated $49/month future price and a month of notice ([MakeWash software](https://makewash.com/software)). It claims per-square-foot estimating across seven surface types and structured soft-wash chemistry (mix, dwell time, surface tied to an address). Frame this as a launch tool, not a finished field-service suite. Accounting sync and a native store listing beyond “mobile-first” were not confirmed on the fetched software page. ### PowerWashOffice PowerWashOffice Owner is $0/month for one user. Teams is $30/month plus $5 per additional member. The pricing page states payment processing rates vary by processor ([PowerWashOffice pricing](https://powerwash.software/pricing)). There is no PressureWashStack vendor profile for this product yet. Model $0 as job management for one login, not as a documented satellite or chemistry suite. ## Soft-wash depth and QuoteIQ gates > Verified fact: CrewNest’s CRM page names Soft Wash Chef (SH, surfactant, water) as a built-in calculator. MakeWash’s software page claims structured mix, dwell, and surface fields. Opervo’s pressure-washing page claims per-job SH, surfactant, and fuel logging with live profit math. Those three lines are vendor claims. > Verified fact: QuoteIQ Essentials is $29.99/month or $299.99/year for one user ([QuoteIQ pricing](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/)). The same matrix lists MapMeasure Pro from Beginner, QuickBooks and job costing from Pro, and inventory plus route optimization from Elite. The 2026 help article repeats those plan floors and states a 14-day trial, card required, and 250 IQ credits during the trial ([QuoteIQ Pricing Plans 2026](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026)). > Verified fact: QuoteIQ’s soft-washing page describes satellite measurement, sodium hypochlorite inventory, per-job chemical costing, and route tools in the same breath as “starting at $29.99/month,” and it says features are included on every plan unless noted. That copy does not match the public matrix. > Editorial judgment: If you need satellite takeoffs this month, the published QuoteIQ gate is Beginner, not Essentials. If you need QuickBooks this month, the published gate is Pro. If you need inventory or routing this month, the published gate is Elite. Do not budget Essentials as a soft-wash operations stack because the SEO page lists those words. Help and pricing also split on smaller rows. The help article lists e-signatures with core estimate tools. The public matrix lists e-signatures from Beginner. Confirm that row inside a trial if signatures are the reason you would buy. ## Big field-service platforms ### Housecall Pro Housecall Pro Basic is $59/month billed annually or $79/month month-to-month for one user ([HCP pricing](https://www.housecallpro.com/pricing/)). Marketing states a 14-day trial with no credit card. The pricing page lists offline viewing on every plan, not full offline quoting. QuickBooks is described on Essentials as importing existing QuickBooks data into Housecall Pro. The [pressure washing software page](https://www.housecallpro.com/industries/pressure-washing-software/) covers scheduling, estimates, invoicing, and a CRM. It does not claim satellite measure or a soft-wash chemical chef. ### Jobber Jobber’s pricing title and meta state plans starting at $29/month. The FAQ on the fetched pricing page states a 14-day trial on Grow with no credit card, and that Jobber syncs with QuickBooks Online ([Jobber pricing](https://www.getjobber.com/pricing/)). Connect’s feature list on that page includes “Sync with QuickBooks Online” under “All Core features, plus.” The pressure-washing industry URL we cited returned a Cloudflare bot wall on this check, so this guide does not invent a Jobber wash-feature list from that page. Jobber is a general FSM with a wash marketing URL. It is not a documented soft-wash native tool on the pages we could statically read. ## Opaque and special-case products ### Workiz (opaque) Workiz Standard, Pro, and Ultimate show Request pricing ([Workiz pricing plans](https://www.workiz.com/pricing-plans/)). The FAQ states a 7-day trial with no credit card and a QuickBooks Online integration. The [pressure washing industry page](https://www.workiz.com/industries/pressure-washing/) claims estimates, scheduling, payments, and a mobile app. It still does not print a monthly dollar. 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) [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 account login. The product copy lists marketing campaigns, roof warranty entry, Google review automations, subscription automations, an on-the-job checklist, and payments. This is a network-gated weekly bill, not a cancel-anytime SaaS floor. Do not drop it into a $25 to $80/month comparison as if it were the same product class. ## The Customer Factor The Customer Factor publishes $44.95/month or $449.50/year (two months free) and a 30-day money-back guarantee ([join now](https://thecustomerfactor.com/join-now)). The homepage title markets to window cleaners, pressure washers, cleaning services, and carpet cleaners ([The Customer Factor](https://thecustomerfactor.com/)). Documented claims are customers, scheduling, calendars, invoicing, card payments, and reporting. Satellite measure and soft-wash chemistry are not primary claims on those pages. There is no PressureWashStack vendor profile for this product yet. Treat it as a general service CRM that includes pressure washing in its headline, not as a wash-native quoting tool. ## 15-minute choose checklist Use this on a timer. It is a filter, not a ranking. 1. Write your typical week: driveway/concrete vs house/roof soft wash vs mixed trades. 2. Write the bill you will actually pay this month: $0 with caps, a published sub-$30 floor, or “I will take a sales call.” 3. If you need satellite takeoffs this month, look at CrewNest Pro (claimed on the CRM page) or QuoteIQ Beginner and up. Essentials is not the published MapMeasure plan. 4. If you need structured chemistry this month, read the vendor-claim pages for CrewNest Soft Wash Chef, MakeWash mix/dwell fields, and Opervo per-job chem. QuoteIQ inventory is Elite and up on the matrix. 5. If you need QuickBooks this month, confirm the plan: Opervo features page says one-way invoices; QuoteIQ lists it from Pro; Jobber claims QBO and lists it on Connect’s “plus” row; Housecall Pro lists a QBO import row on Essentials. 6. If $0 is the only bill you will accept, compare MakeWash (launch), CrewNest Free (3 estimates, 10 satellite), and PowerWashOffice Owner (1 user). They are not interchangeable. 7. If a vendor will not show a dollar, stop and request a written Workiz quote. Do not paste a third-party number into your budget. 8. If you are inside the SoftWash Systems network, price Keap as $99/week for 52 weeks, not as a monthly CRM. 9. On any trial, send one real driveway quote, take before/after photos, and try the same steps on a weak-signal street. 10. Ask what you can export if you cancel, and what the processor takes on a $400 invoice. ## 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 import Opervo, CrewNest, QuoteIQ, or MakeWash competitor price tables as PressureWashStack facts. We did not invent Jobber Connect or Grow month-to-month prices. We did not publish a Workiz monthly total. We did not add PoolProStack pool-route vendors. We did not create new vendor collection files for PowerWashOffice, The Customer Factor, or SoftWash Keap. Affiliate programs stay off. Links in this guide are ordinary vendor URLs, not tracking links. See the [affiliate disclosure](/affiliate-disclosure). Seat-versus-plan math for two named generalists stays on [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). Other directory listings stay on the [directory](/directory). --- # Free Pressure Washing Software What free means for wash CRMs: forever-free caps, free-today bills, calculators, trials, and cheap paid contrast. Cited from vendor pages as of 2026-09-05. No ranked winner. Free in wash software is five different bills. Forever-free plans can be capped. Free today can become paid. Calculators are not a field-service suite. Trials expire. Cheap paid plans are contrast, not free software. Figures are from vendor pages checked 2026-09-05. This page does not rank a winner. Published 2026-09-05. Last checked 2026-09-05. ## What free means here These five buckets are not interchangeable. Mixing them is how a $0 search turns into a card on file or a $49 invoice. 1. **Forever-free.** A published $0 plan that can stay $0. Caps may apply (estimates, satellite measurements, users). 2. **Free today / paid later.** $0 on the fetched page, with a stated future price and notice. Not a forever-free SLA. 3. **Free utilities.** Calculators and playbooks. Not a full field-service suite. 4. **Trials.** Time-boxed Pro or Grow access. A trial is not a free plan, even when it later drops to a free tier. 5. **Cheap paid contrast.** Published floors near $25 to $30. Useful as a bill you might actually pay. Not free software. Solo-operator workflow notes stay on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). Seat-versus-plan math for two named generalists stays on [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). This page only sorts the $0 language. > Verified fact: We did not import competitor price or feature tables from MakeWash, CrewNest, Opervo, or QuoteIQ as PressureWashStack facts. > Editorial judgment: If a page says free, ask which bucket it is in before you change your quoting desk. ## Forever-free plans and their caps Only two products in this set publish a $0 plan that is not framed as a launch-era “free today.” > Verified fact: Caps and trial rules below are from vendor pricing pages retrieved 2026-09-05. They are not a field test. | Product | Published $0 plan | Caps as published | Trial relationship | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CrewNest Free Forever | $0/month | 3 estimates/month, 10 satellite measurements, 1 user, offline mode as a PWA, customer management, job scheduling, basic invoicing | 14-day Pro trial (card required). After day 14 the account drops to these Free caps. | | PowerWashOffice Owner Operator | $0/month | Job management for 1 user | Not a trial. Paid Teams and add-ons sit beside this floor. | MakeWash is not in this table. It is free today, not forever-free. ### CrewNest Free Forever > Verified fact: [CrewNest pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing) lists Free Forever at $0/month with up to 3 estimates/month, up to 10 satellite measurements, service-specific tools, customer management, job scheduling, basic invoicing, offline mode (PWA), and 1 user only. > Verified fact: The same page lists Pro at $29/month or $290/year (save $58), with unlimited estimates and satellite measurements, a booking portal, SMS included, email estimates and invoices, route optimization, advanced analytics, and up to 3 team members then +$5 each. > Verified fact: Every account starts with 14 days of Pro. The FAQ states a credit card is required up front so the account keeps working when the trial ends. You are not charged during the trial if you cancel before day 14. When the trial ends you keep the account and data and drop back to Free limits (3 estimates/month, 10 satellite measurements). > Verified fact: The [pressure-washing CRM page](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm) claims Soft Wash Chef mix ratios for sodium hypochlorite, surfactant, and water, plus a PWA that works with limited connectivity. Soft Wash Chef is a vendor claim on that CRM page. The Free Forever card does not name Soft Wash Chef. > Editorial judgment: Model CrewNest Free as a capped forever-free plan, not as unlimited Pro. The 14-day Pro trial is a trial. It is not the Free plan. A card on file does not make the later $0 tier a paid plan. > Unverified: Whether Soft Wash Chef, route optimization, or SMS sit inside the Free Forever cap is not listed on the Free card. Confirm those rows inside the account after the Pro trial ends. ### PowerWashOffice Owner Operator There is no PressureWashStack vendor profile for PowerWashOffice yet. > Verified fact: [PowerWashOffice pricing](https://powerwash.software/pricing) lists Owner Operator at $0/month for job management for 1 user. Teams is $30/month plus $5/month per additional team member. Workers is $0/month and “included only in the TEAMS plan.” > Verified fact: Paid add-ons on that page: WordPress & API $65/month, CRM $65/month, Multi-Location $50/month, IO Phone $65/month. Payment processing is “Rates Vary” by processor (Global, Authorize.net, Square, CardConnect, Payjunction and more). Do not invent a card percentage from that line. > Verified fact: A block titled “Basic CRM – Now Included Free with PowerwashOffice!” lists full contact history, journal notes, IMAP email sync refreshed every 30 minutes, and call and text logs. The same block says you can upgrade to Paid CRM for 7 years of history, a 5-minute IMAP refresh, and advanced activity tracking. That paid CRM upgrade is the $65/month CRM row. Basic CRM included free is not the same product as the $65 CRM add-on. > Unverified: Feature boundary beyond 1 user. The page headline says every plan gets “award-winning features,” then splits Owner (job management, 1 user) from Teams (job and employee management) and sells add-ons. We do not have a complete Owner versus Teams matrix from the fetched page. Treat anything past one login as a gap until you confirm it in the product. > Editorial judgment: PowerWashOffice Owner is a published forever-free 1-user floor with paid add-ons beside it. Do not budget $0 as Teams, WordPress/API, paid CRM, multi-location, or IO Phone. ## Free today, paid later ### MakeWash > Verified fact: [MakeWash software](https://makewash.com/software) states the product is free to use today, that no credit card is required to start, and that when paid plans begin the price will be $49/month with a month of notice. [MakeWash about](https://makewash.com/about) repeats $0 today and the same $49/month future price with a month of notice. > Verified fact: The about page says MakeWash started as a free estimate calculator and operator playbooks and is growing into a full operating system for solo and small-crew pressure washing. The software page claims per-square-foot estimating across seven surface types and structured soft-wash chemistry (mix, dwell time, surface tied to an address). > Editorial judgment: MakeWash is free today. It is not forever-free. Price the $49 future bill as a stated later charge, not as today’s invoice and not as a cap table like CrewNest Free. > Unverified: Early-stage gap. FAQ answers on the software page did not expand in the static fetch. Accounting sync, a native store listing beyond “mobile-first,” and how complete the CRM is versus the calculator are not confirmed as a finished field-service suite. Do not copy MakeWash’s on-page competitor comparison as our prices or feature scores. ## Free utilities are not a field-service suite > Verified fact: [MakeWash tools](https://makewash.com/tools) lists free calculators: a pressure washing estimate calculator, plus driveway, roof, deck, fence, and patio cost calculators. The estimate, driveway, and roof cards state no signup. Those pages are utilities. A no-signup calculator is not CrewNest Free, not PowerWashOffice Owner, and not a Jobber or QuoteIQ trial. > Editorial judgment: Use the calculators when you want a number. Do not treat a tools URL as proof you have scheduling, invoicing, payments, and a crew login. ## Trials are not free software A trial is a countdown. It is not a forever-free plan and not a free-today launch price. > Verified fact: Published trials, retrieved 2026-09-05. These rows are contrast. They are not a free-software shortlist. | Product | Published trial | Card | What happens after | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CrewNest | 14 days of Pro | Required | Drops to Free Forever caps (see above). Still a trial, not the Free plan. | | QuoteIQ | 14 days | Required | Paid plan. 250 IQ credits on the trial, not the paid allotment. | | Opervo | 14 days | No card | Paid Solo or Team. Data kept 30 days if you do not subscribe. | | Jobber | 14 days on Grow | No card | Paid plan. | | Housecall Pro | 14 days on MAX | No card (marketing) | Paid plan. | | Workiz | 7 days | No card | Request pricing. No official monthly dollar on the fetched page. | QuoteIQ card rules and Jobber seat bands live on [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). Do not treat those pages as a free-plan catalog. > Editorial judgment: A 14-day Grow or MAX preview is paid software with a countdown. CrewNest’s trial is the exception that returns you to a capped $0 plan. That still does not make the trial itself free software. ## Cheap paid contrast These are published paid floors, not free plans. They exist here so a $0 search is not mistaken for the cheapest bill that actually buys a full month of paid software. - Opervo Solo: $24.99/month (14-day trial, no card) - QuoteIQ Essentials: $29.99/month or $299.99/year (14-day trial, card required) - CrewNest Pro: $29/month or $290/year (14-day Pro trial, card required, then Free caps if you do not pay) What those floors include, and what they do not, stays on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). QuoteIQ versus Jobber units stay on the [comparison](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). > Editorial judgment: $24.99 and $29.99 are cheap paid contrast. They are not forever-free and not free today. ## SoftWash Systems Keap is not free > 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 gates guest checkout and shows an Affiliate/Franchise login. This is a paid network product. It is contrast only. It does not belong in the forever-free, free-today, utility, or trial buckets. ## 15-minute choose checklist Use this on a timer. It is a filter, not a ranking. 1. Write the bucket you mean: forever-free, free today, calculator, trial, or cheap paid. 2. If forever-free, write the cap you will hit this month (3 estimates, 10 satellite measurements, 1 user). 3. If you will open CrewNest, decide whether you are evaluating the 14-day Pro trial (card required) or the Free caps after day 14. 4. If MakeWash, model $0 today and $49/month after a month of notice. Do not file it next to CrewNest Free Forever. 5. If you only need a number, use the MakeWash tools calculators. That is not a CRM. 6. If the offer is 7 or 14 days, it is a trial. Stop calling it free software. 7. If you will pay a published sub-$30 floor, leave this page and read the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). 8. If you are comparing QuoteIQ seats to Jobber seat bands, use [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). 9. If you are inside the SoftWash Systems network, price Keap as $99/week for 52 weeks, not as a free CRM. 10. On any $0 or trial account, send one real driveway quote, then ask what you can export if the free tier or trial ends. ## 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](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators) or [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). Those pages stay the workflow and two-product comparisons. This page is the free-software taxonomy only. We did not import vendor competitor tables as our facts. We did not invent a Workiz monthly total. We did not add pool-route vendors. We did not create a vendor collection file for PowerWashOffice or SoftWash Keap. Affiliate programs stay off. 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). --- # Best Soft Wash Software / Soft Wash CRM for Exterior Cleaning Operators Soft-wash chemistry, satellite takeoffs, inventory gates, and published prices for exterior cleaning CRMs. Cited from vendor pages as of 2026-09-05. No ranked winner. Soft wash is low-pressure chemical cleaning — house washes, roof algae treatments, vinyl mildew, and recurring HOA exteriors — not the same workflow as blasting concrete. Software that only opens a blank estimate and a notes field is not the same product as a tool that measures siding area, stores a mix, or tracks sodium hypochlorite on the truck. PressureWashStack has not hands-on tested these products. Figures and feature gates are from vendor pages last checked 2026-09-05. **This page does not rank a winner.** The useful answer depends on whether you need a mix calculator this week, satellite takeoffs this month, SH inventory on a published plan, or a general field-service CRM that also markets to washers. Published 2026-09-05. Last checked 2026-09-05. Related: [Best pressure washing software for solo operators](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators) · [Free pressure washing software](/guides/free-pressure-washing-software) · [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber) ## Who this is for Exterior cleaning operators whose week includes soft wash or mixed soft wash + pressure wash: residential house and roof treatments, light commercial, property-management routes, and annual maintenance rebooks. This is not a SoftWash Systems franchise enrollment guide, not a chemistry SDS manual, and not a PoolProStack pool-route page. ## How we sourced this Primary vendor pricing, product, help, and tool pages only, retrieved 2026-09-05. Soft-wash chemistry lines, Soft Wash Chef, satellite measurement, and SH inventory claims are tied to specific URLs below. Marketing copy that says “starting at $X” is not treated as the same source as a plan matrix or help article when they disagree. > Verified fact: Soft Wash Chef / mix-ratio language is published on CrewNest’s [pressure washing CRM page](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm) and the free [Soft Wash Mix Calculator](https://www.crewnest.app/tools/soft-wash-chef). MakeWash’s [software page](https://makewash.com/software) claims structured soft-wash chemistry (mix, dwell time, surface tied to an address). Opervo’s [pressure-washing page](https://www.opervo.io/pressure-washing) and [features page](https://www.opervo.io/features) claim per-job SH, surfactant, and fuel logging plus sketch-on-satellite $/sqft. QuoteIQ’s [soft-washing CRM page](https://myquoteiq.com/crm-for-soft-washing) markets sodium hypochlorite inventory and per-job chemical costing; the [public pricing matrix](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/) and [2026 help article](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026) put MapMeasure on Beginner+, job costing on Pro+, and inventory on Elite+. > Editorial judgment: When a soft-wash SEO page and a pricing matrix disagree, the matrix and dated help article win for budgeting. The SEO page still documents what the vendor wants soft washers to believe the product does. Gaps we will not fill: Jobber’s pressure-washing industry URL returned a Cloudflare bot wall on this check; Workiz dollars stay Request pricing; SoftWash Systems shop guest checkout is disabled; The Customer Factor home/join pages returned HTML successfully via direct fetch after an earlier fetch-provider 500. ## What soft-wash software actually has to do **Measure before the truck rolls.** Roof square and siding area drive soft-wash tickets. Ask whether the tool sketches or measures from satellite imagery, or only accepts a typed square-footage guess. **Chemistry is not a notes field.** Mixing SH, surfactant, and water (and optionally dwell) is a different claim from logging gallons used after the job, which is different again from drum-level inventory across trucks. Soft Wash Chef, MakeWash mix/dwell fields, Opervo per-job chem cost, and QuoteIQ inventory are four different product shapes. **Proof and rebooks.** Before/after photos, tiered Options/Good-Better-Best proposals, and annual spring/fall recurrence matter more for soft wash than for one-off concrete blasts. **Plan gates beat slogans.** “Starting at $29.99” with Elite-gated inventory is not an Essentials soft-wash operations stack. ## Chemistry and satellite claims, URL by URL | Claim | Vendor wording (paraphrased from page) | Primary URL | Verified plan floor (if published) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Soft Wash Chef mix ratios (SH, surfactant, water) | Built-in Soft Wash Chef; mix ratios; save recipes; factor material cost | [crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm) | Not separately priced on CRM page; Free/Pro on [pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing) | | Soft wash mix calculator (tool) | Soft Wash Mix Calculator; surface SH % targets; batch recipe | [crewnest.app/tools/soft-wash-chef](https://www.crewnest.app/tools/soft-wash-chef) | Free calculator page; CTA to CrewNest trial | | Structured soft-wash chemistry | Mix, dwell time, surface as structured data tied to address | [makewash.com/software](https://makewash.com/software) | $0 today; stated future $49/mo | | Per-job SH / surfactant / fuel cost | Log SH, surfactant, fuel; Revenue − Supplies = Profit | [opervo.io/pressure-washing](https://www.opervo.io/pressure-washing), [features](https://www.opervo.io/features) | Vendor: all features on Solo $24.99/mo | | Sketch driveway/roof on satellite; $/sqft | Drop points on satellite map; auto-price estimate | Same Opervo URLs | Same Solo floor claim | | Satellite quoting (CrewNest) | Measure driveways, roofs, decks, siding from satellite | [CrewNest CRM](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm) | Free: up to 10 satellite measurements; Pro: unlimited ([pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing)) | | MapMeasure Pro / AI measure | Satellite property measurement; Beginner+ on matrix | [QuoteIQ pricing](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/), [help 2026](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026) | Beginner $74.99/mo and up | | SH / surfactant inventory; per-job chemical costing (marketing) | Sodium hypochlorite and surfactant inventory; per-job chemical costing; “starting at $29.99/month”; “each feature is included on every plan unless noted” | [QuoteIQ soft washing](https://myquoteiq.com/crm-for-soft-washing) | **Mismatch:** inventory = Elite+ on matrix/help; job costing = Pro+ | | Soft-wash CRM blog (Opervo) | Estimates, scheduling, notes, invoicing; core needs similar to PW | [opervo.io/blog/crm-for-soft-washing-businesses](https://www.opervo.io/blog/crm-for-soft-washing-businesses) | Points to $24.99/mo pricing; thin on chem detail vs PW page | > Verified fact: Housecall Pro’s [pressure washing software page](https://www.housecallpro.com/industries/pressure-washing-software/) documents scheduling, estimates, invoicing, and CRM. It does **not** claim satellite measure or a soft-wash chemical chef on the fetched page. > Verified fact: Workiz’s [pressure washing industry page](https://www.workiz.com/industries/pressure-washing/) claims Good|Better|Best proposals, scheduling, payments, and a mobile app. It does **not** claim Soft Wash Chef, SH mix calculators, or satellite takeoffs on the fetched page. > Verified fact: Jobber’s [pricing page](https://www.getjobber.com/pricing/) was readable (Core from $29/mo billed annually / $39 1-year commitment monthly / $49 no commitment for 1 user). The [pressure-washing industry URL](https://www.getjobber.com/industries/pressure-washing-software) returned a Cloudflare security wall on this check, so this guide does not invent a Jobber soft-wash feature list from that page. ## Published prices relevant to soft-wash buyers > Verified fact: These are public list prices confirmed 2026-09-05. They buy different things (users, estimate caps, satellite caps, IQ credits, weekly network fees). Do not treat the dollars as like-for-like. | Product | Published floor | Soft-wash-relevant note from primary pages | | --- | --- | --- | | CrewNest Free | $0/mo | 1 user; 3 estimates/mo; **10 satellite measurements**; Soft Wash Chef claimed on CRM page | | CrewNest Pro | $29/mo or $290/yr | 3 seats then +$5/user; unlimited estimates & satellite; 14-day Pro trial; 30-day money-back stated | | MakeWash | $0 today | Soft-wash chemistry tracking claimed; paid plans “will be $49/month” with one month notice | | Opervo Solo | $24.99/mo (vendor also publishes annual Solo $249/yr on pricing/vendor profile sources) | Chem-per-job + satellite sketch claimed on PW/features pages; soft-wash **blog** is thinner | | QuoteIQ Essentials | $29.99/mo or $299.99/yr | 1 user; estimates/invoices/scheduling/payments. **Not** the published MapMeasure or inventory plan | | QuoteIQ Beginner | $74.99/mo or $749.99/yr | MapMeasure Pro / Roof & Pitch Measurement (help + matrix) | | QuoteIQ Pro | $149.99/mo or $1,499.99/yr | Job costing + QuickBooks (matrix/help) | | QuoteIQ Elite | $299/mo or $2,990/yr | Inventory + route optimization (matrix/help) | | PowerWashOffice Owner | $0/mo | 1 user job management; payment processing “rates vary”; no soft-wash chemistry claim on fetched pricing page | | PowerWashOffice Teams | $30/mo + $5/member | Same pricing page; CRM add-on $65/mo listed separately | | The Customer Factor | $44.95/mo or $449.50/yr | 30-day money-back; customers/scheduling/invoices/cards; **no** primary soft-wash chemistry or satellite claim | | Housecall Pro Basic | $59/mo annual or $79/mo MTM | 1 user; PW industry page is general FSM; no Soft Wash Chef claim | | Jobber Core | From $29/mo billed annually | General FSM; soft-wash-native claims not verified from industry page (Cloudflare) | | Workiz | Request pricing | Standard / Pro / Ultimate; 7-day trial no card (FAQ); no public soft-wash chem tools on industry page | | SoftWash Systems Keap | $99.00/week excl. tax | **52-week commitment, no payment pauses**; guest checkout disabled; Affiliate/Franchise login on shop | QuoteIQ trial detail from the [2026 help article](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026): 14-day trial, card required, flat **250 IQ credits** on trial (not the paid monthly allotment). Changing plans mid-trial ends the trial and bills immediately. > Editorial judgment: SoftWash Keap at $99/week for 52 weeks is a network product class, not a cancel-anytime SaaS peer to CrewNest Pro or QuoteIQ Essentials. Do not drop it into a $25–$80/month comparison table as if it were the same buy. ## Vendor-by-vendor soft-wash notes ### CrewNest (pressure-wash / soft-wash native) CrewNest markets exclusively to pressure washing and exterior cleaning ([CRM page](https://www.crewnest.app/pressure-washing-crm)). Soft Wash Chef is named there. The free [Soft Wash Mix Calculator](https://www.crewnest.app/tools/soft-wash-chef) publishes surface SH percentage targets, tank batch recipes, and a job-cost panel, with a CTA into CrewNest. > Verified fact: [Pricing](https://www.crewnest.app/pricing) lists Free Forever $0 (1 user, 3 estimates/mo, 10 satellite measurements, offline mode as PWA) and Pro $29/mo or $290/year (unlimited estimates & satellite, booking portal, SMS included, route optimization, up to 3 team members then +$5). Every account is advertised with 14 days of Pro; 30-day money-back on Pro. > Editorial judgment: If soft-wash mix math is the reason you open software this week, CrewNest is the vendor that both **names Soft Wash Chef on the CRM page** and **ships a public mix calculator URL**. That is a documentation fact, not a PressureWashStack field test or award. QuickBooks is not documented on the fetched pricing or CRM pages. ### MakeWash (PW-native launch) > Verified fact: [makewash.com/software](https://makewash.com/software) states free today, future paid price $49/month with one month notice, per-sqft estimating across seven surface types, and soft-wash chemistry tracking (mix, dwell, surface tied to address). Homepage states “Free to use. No signup needed. Paid plan $49/month.” Frame as a launch tool with structured chemistry fields claimed — not as a finished peer to horizontal FSM accounting matrices. ### Opervo (horizontal with wash-specific chem + measure claims) > Verified fact: [Pressure washing](https://www.opervo.io/pressure-washing) claims Solo at $24.99/mo with all features included, log SH/surfactant/fuel per job with live profit, and sketch surfaces on a satellite map priced at $/sqft. [Features](https://www.opervo.io/features) documents Measurement Tool (sketch on satellite) and supplies tracking (gallons of SH, ounces of surfactant, etc.) and states QuickBooks Online sync **one way, Opervo to QuickBooks**. > Verified fact: The [soft washing blog](https://www.opervo.io/blog/crm-for-soft-washing-businesses) lists fast estimates, scheduling, customer notes, and invoicing. It does **not** repeat the detailed Soft Wash Chef-style mix calculator language. Prefer the pressure-washing and features pages for chem and satellite claims. Do not import Opervo’s on-page Jobber/HCP competitor dollar columns as PressureWashStack facts. ### QuoteIQ (soft-wash marketing page vs plan matrix) > Verified fact: Soft-washing page markets Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, chemical & supply inventory (SH by concentration and drum, surfactant, etc.), per-job chemical costing, AI before/after, recurring seasonal scheduling, and states features are “included on every plan unless noted,” with pricing “starting at $29.99/month” ([crm-for-soft-washing](https://myquoteiq.com/crm-for-soft-washing)). > Verified fact: [Pricing matrix](https://myquoteiq.com/pricing/) and [Pricing Plans 2026 help](https://intercom.help/quoteiq/en/articles/16152075-quoteiq-pricing-plans-2026): Essentials $29.99 / Beginner $74.99 / Pro $149.99 / Elite $299 / Max $699 (monthly). MapMeasure Pro = Beginner+. Job costing & QuickBooks = Pro+. Inventory & route optimization = Elite+. > Editorial judgment: Budget soft-wash **operations** on QuoteIQ from the matrix gates, not from the SEO hero. Essentials is a quoting/billing floor. Satellite takeoffs this month → Beginner+. Job costing this month → Pro+. SH inventory this month → Elite+. Help vs matrix also disagree on smaller rows (e.g. e-signatures). Confirm inside a trial if that row is the purchase reason. ### Housecall Pro and Jobber (horizontal FSM) Useful for scheduling, estimates, invoices, and payments. Not documented as soft-wash chemistry platforms on the pages we could read. Housecall Pro Basic: $59/mo billed annually or $79/mo month-to-month; 14-day trial, no credit card (marketing on pricing). Offline **viewing** listed; not full offline quoting. Jobber: plans starting at $29/month (title/meta and Core annual). 14-day trial on Grow, no credit card (pricing FAQ). Soft-wash-native claims: **unverified** from the industry URL due to Cloudflare. ### Workiz (opaque price; Good|Better|Best proposals) > Verified fact: [Pricing plans](https://www.workiz.com/pricing-plans/) show Standard / Pro / Ultimate as **Request pricing**. FAQ: 7-day free trial, no credit card. Industry page claims Good|Better|Best sales proposals and QuickBooks integration — not Soft Wash Chef or satellite measure. Ask for a written quote. Do 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, “52 week commitment with no pauses in payments,” including marketing campaigns, roof warranties entry, Google review automations, subscription service automations, on-the-job checklist, and payments. Shop disables guest checkout and shows Affiliate/Franchise login. Network-gated weekly bill. Not a cancel-anytime SaaS floor. ### The Customer Factor and PowerWashOffice (mention-only) The Customer Factor: $44.95/mo or $449.50/yr; 30-day money-back ([join-now](https://thecustomerfactor.com/join-now)). Headline includes pressure washers ([home](https://thecustomerfactor.com/)). No primary soft-wash chemistry or satellite claim. PowerWashOffice: Owner $0; Teams $30 + $5/member; optional CRM $65/mo; WordPress/API $65/mo; Multi-Location $50/mo ([pricing](https://powerwash.software/pricing)). No soft-wash chemistry claim on the fetched pricing page. No new PressureWashStack vendor collection files for these products from this guide. ## Decision filter (not a ranking) 1. Write your week: roof soft wash vs house wash vs concrete blast vs mixed. 2. If you need a **named mix calculator** this week → read CrewNest Soft Wash Chef URLs; also MakeWash mix/dwell claim; Opervo per-job chem is usage/cost logging, not the same as Soft Wash Chef branding. 3. If you need **satellite takeoffs** this month → CrewNest (Free capped at 10; Pro unlimited) or QuoteIQ Beginner+ (matrix). Opervo claims sketch-on-satellite on PW/features pages. 4. If you need **SH drum inventory across trucks** this month → QuoteIQ Elite+ on the matrix/help — not Essentials, despite the soft-wash SEO page. 5. If you need **QuickBooks** this month → confirm direction: Opervo features = one-way invoices to QBO; QuoteIQ = Pro+; Jobber claims QBO on pricing; Housecall Pro lists QuickBooks Online sync/import language on pricing; Workiz claims QuickBooks on industry FAQ. 6. If $0 is required → CrewNest Free (caps), MakeWash (launch free), PowerWashOffice Owner (1 user). Not interchangeable. 7. If you are inside SoftWash Systems → price Keap as $99/week × 52 weeks, not as a $29 CRM. 8. On any trial: mix one real house-wash batch in the tool, measure one roof/siding surface, send one Options/Good-Better-Best style proposal if that is how you sell, and try photos on a weak-signal street. ## What we did not do We did not rank a best soft wash CRM. We did not invent prices, demand numbers, or ticket-lift percentages from marketing copy as PressureWashStack test results. We did not treat QuoteIQ’s soft-wash SEO page as the plan matrix. We did not invent Jobber soft-wash features behind Cloudflare. We did not publish a Workiz monthly dollar. We did not create new vendor files for PowerWashOffice, The Customer Factor, SoftWash Keap, or Soft Wash Chef. Affiliate programs stay off. Ordinary vendor URLs only. See the [affiliate disclosure](/affiliate-disclosure). Seat math for QuoteIQ vs Jobber stays on [QuoteIQ vs Jobber](/compare/quoteiq-vs-jobber). Solo pricing floors stay on [Best pressure washing software for solo operators](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). --- # QuoteIQ vs Jobber QuoteIQ bills by named plans with included users. Jobber bills by plan and team-size bucket. Live 1-user prices as of 2026-09-05. No winner. QuoteIQ bills by named plans with included users. Jobber bills by plan and seat band. Those units are not interchangeable, so this page does not name a cheaper product or a winner. Figures are from vendor pages checked 2026-09-05. We have not tested either app. Published 2026-09-05. Last checked 2026-09-05. ## Two products > Verified fact: QuoteIQ’s pricing page and 2026 help article market an all-in-one home-service CRM with estimates, invoices, scheduling, online payments, and IQ credits. They do not publish a pressure-washing-only spec sheet on those URLs. > Verified fact: Jobber publishes a pressure washing industry page covering generic quoting, scheduling, invoicing, a client hub, and a mobile app. That page is marketing for a general field-service product, not a wash-native satellite or chemical-mix tool. See the [QuoteIQ](/vendors/quoteiq) and [Jobber](/vendors/jobber) profiles for documented functions, still without a field test. Solo-operator notes for the wider set stay on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). This page is a two-product comparison only. ## How you pay QuoteIQ sells flat named plans with a fixed user count on each tier. Jobber sells a plan name plus a seat / team-size band. You cannot subtract one published dollar from the other and get a breakeven. > Verified fact: QuoteIQ pricing and the 2026 help article, 2026-09-05. | 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 an equivalent monthly figure. Unused IQ credits do not roll over. > Verified fact: Jobber bills by plan and seat band. Live 1-user prices on getjobber.com/pricing, 2026-09-05: | Plan (1 user) | No commitment | 1-year monthly | Billed annually | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Core | $49 | $39 | $29 | | Connect | $139 | $119 | $99 | | Grow | $199 | $169 | $149 | The 1-user floor is Core at $49 with no commitment, $39 on a 1-year monthly commitment, or $29 billed annually. Commitment terms differ: Jobber’s middle column is a 1-year monthly commitment. QuoteIQ’s yearly column is prepaid annual. Context only, not a third product in this bake-off: Opervo Solo publishes $24.99/month. CrewNest publishes Free and Pro. Those floors and what they include live on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). > Editorial judgment: A solo washer comparing $29.99 QuoteIQ Essentials to $29 to $49 Jobber Core is comparing two entry floors, not two complete ops stacks. Price the plan that actually lists the feature you need before you call either one cheaper. ## Soft-wash quoting depth and gates > Verified fact: QuoteIQ’s 2026 help article lists Standard, Options, Package, and Quick estimates on every plan, including Essentials. MapMeasure Pro (satellite sq ft, linear ft, meters, roof and pitch) starts at Beginner. Job costing and QuickBooks Online start at Pro. Inventory management and route optimization start at Elite. > Verified fact: QuoteIQ’s [soft-washing CRM page](https://myquoteiq.com/crm-for-soft-washing) describes satellite measurement, sodium hypochlorite inventory, per-job chemical costing, and route tools in the same breath as “starting at $29.99/month,” and it says features are included on every plan unless noted. That copy does not match the public pricing matrix or the 2026 help article. > Verified fact: Jobber’s pressure-washing page describes generic quotes (optional line items, follow-ups, approvals, markups). It does not claim satellite square-footage takeoffs or SH / surfactant inventory. > Editorial judgment: Trust QuoteIQ’s pricing matrix and 2026 help article for gates. Treat the soft-wash SEO page as overselling the Essentials floor. If you need satellite takeoffs this month, the published QuoteIQ gate is Beginner, not Essentials. If you need job costing this month, the published gate is Pro. If you need inventory or routing this month, the published gate is Elite. Jobber’s PW page is a generic estimate workflow, not a wash-native quote desk. ## Schedule, route, and offline > Verified fact: QuoteIQ lists internal job scheduling and Google Calendar sync on every plan. Route optimization and route density zones are listed from Elite. > Verified fact: Jobber’s pricing matrix lists booking and scheduling on Core. Route optimization help states the feature is available on Connect, Grow, and Plus. > Verified fact: Jobber help documents offline timers (start and stop), job forms / checklists, and notes or attachments, with a sync when the device is back online. Location-based timers and some reports still need a connection. The pressure-washing page does not claim full offline quoting or invoicing. > Unverified: QuoteIQ offline field use (quotes, photos, invoices, signatures without signal) is a gap. It is not confirmed on the pricing page or the 2026 help article we fetched. > Editorial judgment: If your week includes dead-zone streets, Jobber at least publishes a limited offline list. QuoteIQ does not. That is not a field test of either app. ## Payments fee conflict > Verified fact: Jobber’s pricing page publishes card processing at 2.9% + 30¢, Tap to Pay at 2.7% + 30¢, ACH at 1%, and instant payouts at an extra 1%. > Verified fact: QuoteIQ processes customer payments through Stripe. The payments help article states Stripe charges standard processing fees and that QuoteIQ does not add any additional fees on top of Stripe’s rates. > Verified fact: FLAG CONFLICT. QuoteIQ’s own industry pages, including the pressure-washing CRM page, print “Stripe fees: 2.9% + $0.30 + 1% platform fee per transaction.” The Payments Terms of Service also state “Stripe credit card processing fees are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction +1% convenience fee.” Those QuoteIQ-owned pages do not match the help-center “no additional fees” line. > Editorial judgment: Do not treat “no QuoteIQ markup” or “2.9% + $0.30 + 1%” as settled. Confirm the live Stripe rate and any platform or convenience fee inside a trial, on a real invoice, before you model card cost. Third-party all-in cost tables are out of scope. Affiliate programs stay off. Links on this page are ordinary vendor URLs, not tracking links. See the [affiliate disclosure](/affiliate-disclosure). ## QuickBooks Online > Verified fact: QuoteIQ lists QuickBooks Online integration from Pro. The help article states it syncs with QuickBooks Online, is not on Essentials or Beginner, and is not currently supported on QuickBooks Desktop. > Verified fact: Jobber lists QuickBooks Online sync from Connect. The QuickBooks Online Sync feature page and the new-integration FAQ describe a one-way Jobber-to-QuickBooks Online sync. Jobber does not sync to QuickBooks Desktop. A one-time import of clients and products from QBO into Jobber is documented when you first connect. > Editorial judgment: If Desktop is your books, neither product publishes a live sync. If you need QBO this month, do not budget QuoteIQ Essentials or Jobber Core. The published gates are Pro and Connect. ## Trials > Verified fact: QuoteIQ’s 2026 help article states a 14-day trial on the chosen plan, one trial per account, credit or debit card required, and 250 IQ credits on every trial tier (not the paid monthly allotment). Changing plans during the trial, upgrade or downgrade, ends the trial and bills the card immediately for the new plan. > Verified fact: Jobber’s pricing FAQ states a 14-day trial with Grow features and no credit card. Those offers are not interchangeable refund guarantees. A card-required trial with a 250-credit meter is not the same as a no-card Grow preview. ## Who each product is for These are fit notes against published units and documented claims. They are not awards. **QuoteIQ** is for a shop that wants a published sub-$30 Essentials floor, accepts an IQ-credit meter, and can move to Beginner, Pro, or Elite when MapMeasure, QuickBooks, inventory, or routing appear on the matrix. Options estimates are documented on every plan. Soft-wash chemistry and SH inventory are not documented on Essentials. **Jobber** is for a shop that sells wash work as one line among other home-service trades, wants a client hub, and can pay by seat band. Core is the 1-user floor. Connect is the plan that lists QBO and the documented route-optimization gate. Offline timers, forms, and notes are documented. Satellite sq ft and SH inventory are not claimed on the PW page. This page does not rank a winner. Quote both at your user count and commitment term, then compare the written totals. Opervo Solo at $24.99/month and CrewNest Free/Pro are context for other published floors, not a third column here. The wider solo set, including $0 and quote-gated tools, stays on the [solo operator guide](/guides/best-pressure-washing-software-solo-operators). ## How to cite Cite PressureWashStack with the canonical URL and the date on the page. Keep claim labels. Do not invent prices, field tests, or a named individual author.
