LawnVex and QuoteIQ are both contractor-built tools, but they solve slightly different problems. LawnVex includes automatic satellite measurement on every plan and turns it straight into an instant 3-tier quote with a public link. QuoteIQ starts cheaper at $29.99 per month but puts its MapMeasure Pro measurement on the $74.99 Beginner plan, and it offers a wider multi-trade CRM if you run more than lawns.
Pick LawnVex if measuring and quoting lawns fast is your core workflow. Pick QuoteIQ if you run several trades and want one broad CRM. Pricing below is current as of July 2026.
It depends on the feature you actually need. QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99 per month is cheaper than LawnVex Solo at $49 on paper. But QuoteIQ satellite measurement, MapMeasure Pro, does not appear until the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month. LawnVex includes auto measurement on every paid plan and even on its free tier. So if measurement is the reason you are buying, LawnVex Solo at $49 is less than QuoteIQ $74.99 measurement-enabled plan. If you only need a CRM and manual quoting, QuoteIQ Essentials is the cheaper entry point.
Both measure lawns from a street address using satellite imagery. The difference is where measurement sits. LawnVex runs auto measurement on every plan, detects and excludes house, driveway, pool, and roads, and lets the operator review before sending. QuoteIQ MapMeasure Pro is a strong tool that measures lawn area, boundaries, driveways, and beds, but it activates on the $74.99 Beginner plan and up. If you want auto measurement on day one at the lowest cost, LawnVex includes it earlier in its lineup.
This is where LawnVex is designed to win. On LawnVex, a street address becomes a reviewed 3-tier quote (Basic, Premium, Full Service) with a public accept link, in one continuous flow, on any plan. QuoteIQ offers InstaQuote on every plan so customers can self-quote from an embedded form, plus AI-powered estimate generation. Both get you to an online quote. The practical distinction is that LawnVex bundles the measurement and the tiered quote as one path from the entry level, while on QuoteIQ the full measure-to-quote flow depends on having MapMeasure Pro active.
Both cover the money side well. LawnVex includes invoicing, Stripe online payment, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync with batch support, plus recurring service plans that auto-invoice. QuoteIQ also handles invoicing, payments, and QuickBooks. For a lawn operator, the deciding factor is usually recurring billing and QBO batch sync, both of which LawnVex handles natively. For a multi-trade shop, QuoteIQ broader billing across service types can be the better fit.
Neither LawnVex nor QuoteIQ charges per-user fees, which is a real advantage over Jobber and Housecall Pro. LawnVex uses flat plans (Solo $49, Crew $99, Multi-Crew $199, Scale $349), so adding crew does not raise your bill. QuoteIQ also uses flat tiers (Essentials $29.99, Beginner $74.99, Pro $149.99, Elite $299, Max $699). For growing crews, both stay predictable while per-seat competitors get more expensive with every hire.
Yes, and LawnVex makes it easy. LawnVex offers one-click import from QuoteIQ, along with Jobber and Yardbook, so you can bring over your client list without manual re-entry. QuoteIQ lets you export your customer data. The honest note is that no import moves everything perfectly, so plan to spot-check custom fields and service history after the switch. Even so, a direct import path turns a migration into an afternoon task rather than a manual rebuild.
For a solo operator, it comes down to whether you quote new properties often. If you do, LawnVex Solo at $49 with auto measurement and instant 3-tier quoting on day one is the better tool, because each fast, accurate quote can pay for the plan. If you rarely measure and mostly need a low-cost CRM with the option to add measurement later, QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99 is the cheaper start. Both give you a real path to grow without per-user fees.
QuoteIQ is the better choice when you run more than lawns. Its CRM spans multiple trades (concrete, siding, landscaping, and more), so a contractor doing lawn care plus other services gets one system instead of several. Its Essentials tier at $29.99 is also the lower entry price if you do not need measurement immediately. And its InstaQuote self-serve form is a clean fit if your model leans on customers quoting themselves from your website. If your business is broader than turf, QuoteIQ width is a genuine edge.
