Both are CRMs for contractors. But QuoteIQ gates pipeline behind $249.99/mo and campaigns behind $149.99/mo. DripJobs includes automated pipeline, pre-built drips, and every feature at one price — with zero setup required. Here's the full breakdown.
No contract. Cancel anytime. 2,500+ contractors already on board.
Both are CRMs. The difference is what you get at each price point — and how much setup is required.
QuoteIQ is a full CRM with estimating (InstaQuote), scheduling (InstaSchedule), invoicing, payments, job management, crew management, and a mobile app. But key features are locked behind expensive tiers: pipeline requires the $249.99/mo Elite plan, campaigns require the $149.99/mo Pro plan. Basic starts at $29.99/mo but is limited. Primarily painting-focused.
DripJobs is a complete CRM with automated pipeline that moves deals as events happen (zero setup), 40+ pre-built drip campaigns by stage, online booking form with built-in automation, proposals with production rate estimating, invoicing & payments, job management, two-way texting, Jobi AI assistant, customer portal, job costing, and more. All features included at every plan. Serves all home service trades.
Both are CRMs. The difference is which plan you need to unlock each feature — and how much setup is required.

Ready to see the difference for yourself?
QuoteIQ is a capable CRM. But DripJobs gives you more automation, more features, and better pricing. Here are the real advantages.
DripJobs pipeline moves deals automatically based on actions and events — estimates scheduled, proposals sent, jobs started, payments collected. Pre-built with automations, works out of the box. QuoteIQ has pipeline, but only on the $249.99/mo Elite plan, and it requires manual configuration.
DripJobs includes 40+ pre-built drip messages organized by pipeline stage — they work out of the box with zero setup. QuoteIQ has automated campaigns, but only on the $149.99/mo Pro plan and up, and they require manual setup.
DripJobs includes pipeline, campaigns, automations, texting, invoicing, and everything else starting at $97/mo. QuoteIQ gates pipeline behind $249.99/mo and campaigns behind $149.99/mo. To get comparable features, you need QuoteIQ Elite at nearly 2x the cost.
DripJobs booking form automatically creates contacts, organizes leads into the correct pipeline stage, and triggers follow-up drips immediately. QuoteIQ has InstaSchedule for booking, but it works differently and doesn't trigger the same automated workflows.
DripJobs serves painters, pressure washers, roofers, landscapers, fencing contractors, flooring pros, and every other home service trade. QuoteIQ is primarily focused on painting contractors and is expanding to other trades.
DripJobs includes Jobi AI — an AI assistant that helps manage your pipeline, write follow-up messages, and keep your business moving. QuoteIQ does not have an AI assistant feature.
Both are real CRMs for contractors. The right choice depends on your budget and how much automation you need.
Both DripJobs and QuoteIQ are CRMs for contractors with estimating, invoicing, job management, and mobile apps. The key differences are pricing and automation. DripJobs includes automated pipeline (deals move on their own, zero setup), 40+ pre-built drip campaigns by stage, and all features at every plan starting at $97/mo. QuoteIQ gates pipeline behind the $249.99/mo Elite plan and campaigns behind the $149.99/mo Pro plan. DripJobs automations are pre-built and work out of the box; QuoteIQ requires more manual configuration. DripJobs also serves all home service trades, while QuoteIQ is primarily painting-focused.
Yes. DripJobs includes production rate estimating where you enter square footage, select substrates (walls, trim, ceilings, doors, cabinets), set labor rates, and DripJobs calculates accurate costs automatically. QuoteIQ also has strong estimating with InstaQuote. The difference is DripJobs estimates flow directly into proposals, invoicing, and job costing — all connected in one system with pre-built automations triggered at every pipeline stage.
You can, but since both are full CRMs with estimating, invoicing, and job management, most contractors find running both creates duplicate data entry. DripJobs includes its own production rate estimating that ties directly into your proposals, invoicing, and job costing — so most users won't need a second CRM.
DripJobs starts at $97/month (Pro) and $147/month (Advanced), with all features included at every plan. QuoteIQ starts lower at $29.99/mo (Basic), but important features are gated behind expensive tiers — campaigns require the $149.99/mo Pro plan, and pipeline requires the $249.99/mo Elite plan. To get comparable features to DripJobs Advanced ($147/mo), you'd need QuoteIQ's Elite plan at $249.99/mo — making DripJobs significantly more affordable for a full-featured CRM.
DripJobs' unique advantages include: (1) automated pipeline where deals move on their own based on events — zero setup, included at every plan, (2) 40+ pre-built drip campaigns organized by pipeline stage that work out of the box, (3) all features included at one price with no tier gating, (4) a booking form with built-in automation (automatic contact creation, lead organization, follow-up drips), (5) Jobi AI assistant for pipeline management, (6) multi-trade support for all home services, (7) customer portal, (8) job costing with real-time profit tracking, and (9) integrations with Facebook, Google Ads, Angi, Thumbtack, QuickBooks, and 5,000+ tools via Zapier.
