The extras plumbers often want (calls answered by AI, paid on the spot and recurring service plans) do not move you off Elite, though paid on the spot is not on its plan cards. For comparison, the same must-haves on Koira are on Office (free), and the extras above take you to Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included), with no per-person fee.
Where QuoteIQ is a good fit for plumbers
- Essentials, at $29.99 a month, already includes estimates with options, customer financing and the AI Virtual Call Team.
- Recurring jobs, invoice subscriptions, booking and self-scheduling and the Review Multiplier are on every plan.
- Route optimization and mass text and email campaigns come in on Elite, which includes ten users.
- A price lock keeps your rate while you stay on the same plan.
Where Koira does it differently for plumbers
Paid on the spot. On QuoteIQ: not on its plan table. The invoice opens as a QR code on your phone and the customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. No card reader.
Stops sorted by the drive. On QuoteIQ: Elite (route optimization). Today puts every stop in driving order on every plan, and new bookings only land where the drive makes sense.
Worked example: two toilets replaced on one visit
Two toilets replaced on one visit, on the free plumbing cost estimator, comes to $520 to $1,325 (typical $930).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Guide price | Toilet, replace: $262 to $666 each, typical $464 |
| Labor adjusted for the US average | ×1, national prices. Add your ZIP to adjust labor to your state. |
| Quantity | 2 each × $464 = $928 typical |
| Total | $520 to $1,325, typical $930 |
A year of QuoteIQ Elite for one person, at its lowest published rate, is $3,000, about 323% of this one job at the typical price of $930. Koira Office, which covers the must-haves for plumbers, is free, so the software takes nothing out of this job.
