PestShift vs QuoteIQ: Which Fits Your Pest Control Business?
QuoteIQ is a CRM and field-service platform for home-service businesses generally (not pest-control-only), with flat published pricing and pest control as one of several served industries.
Side-by-side
| PestShift | QuoteIQ | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $39–$149/month, published, tiered by technician count only (1/5/10). Every tier gets the full feature set — no feature gating, no per-property fees. | Published flat pricing across five tiers: $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699/month, with chemical inventory tracking available on the $299/mo Elite tier and above. |
| Contract terms | Month-to-month. Cancel anytime, no early-termination fee. | Flat monthly plans; no long-term contract reported. |
| Chemical compliance depth | Moderate — By default, a job can't be closed until the chemical application record (product, EPA registration number, target pest, rate, application site) is complete; the owner chooses which services require it. We don't yet auto-generate state-specific compliance forms. | Moderate — Elite-tier inventory tracking logs chemicals by EPA registration number and auto-deducts usage per job, creating a usable audit trail — but it isn't a dedicated, state-form-generating compliance module the way PestPac's or Fieldwork's is, and it's gated behind the higher-priced tier rather than included from the start. |
| Payment processing | Optional Stripe Connect: customers pay deposits and invoices by card, settled directly to your own bank. We never hold the funds; PestShift's platform fee is 1% of each card payment, on top of Stripe's processing fee. Keep your existing processor instead if you prefer — nothing is required. | Bundled business-phone and payments features on higher tiers; not fully broken out in vendor materials we reviewed. |
| Offline mobile support | Yes for technicians: My Day works with no signal — start and complete visits with notes and the chemical record — and syncs when signal returns. A home-screen web app, not an App Store app; office screens need a connection. | Not publicly specified in vendor materials we reviewed. |
| Route optimization | Builds the day's order and arrival times together, around appointments the customer was already promised, and flags any job the assigned technician isn't licensed for. Real driving times when a routing key is configured, straight-line estimate otherwise — the UI says which. | Yes — included starting on the Pro plan ($149.99/mo). |
| Support | Direct access to the team building the product, not a ticket queue. | High review ratings for support and ease of use. |

“There are a ton of features, so information overload does occur”
“The elite plan only allows for seven users, we would have to move to enterprise”
Where QuoteIQ genuinely wins
QuoteIQ is a genuinely strong general home-service CRM if pest control is one of a few trades you run, or if you want quoting, review automation, and a business phone line bundled in from day one — it's just not pest-control-first the way we are.
QuoteIQ's real strengths
- Flat, published pricing across every tier
- Bundles CRM, quoting, and business-phone features generalist competitors often charge separately for
- High review ratings for ease of use and support
Chemical compliance, specifically
Elite-tier inventory tracking logs chemicals by EPA registration number and auto-deducts usage per job, creating a usable audit trail — but it isn't a dedicated, state-form-generating compliance module the way PestPac's or Fieldwork's is, and it's gated behind the higher-priced tier rather than included from the start.
Questions about switching from QuoteIQ
- Usually, yes, if QuoteIQ's reported per-month costs above hold for your account — but QuoteIQ is quote-only in most cases, so the only way to know for certain is to get a real quote from them and compare it to our published pricing, which starts at $39/month.
- Yes. Export your customers, properties, and any chemical-application history you have, send it to us, and we handle the cleanup and import. See our full switching guide for the step-by-step.
