Comparison · QuoteIQ alternative
Both of us publish our prices. The difference is what you pay for.
QuoteIQ is an all-in-one suite priced by tier. Roof Hammer does one stage — the follow-up after a quote goes out — and prices by how many quotes are live. If your problem is producing quotes, the suite is a reasonable buy. If your problem is that sent quotes go quiet, this is the cheaper and faster fix.
This is a comparison about pricing models, not hidden prices
Most roofing software comparisons turn into an argument about who will tell you the price. That is not this one — QuoteIQ publishes its tiers and campaigns on transparency. The useful question is what the meter measures. Theirs measures which bundle of features you bought. Ours measures how many quotes are currently live and need chasing.
Quick comparison
What you are billed for
The plan tier you are on, plus a monthly IQ Credit allowance drawn down per proposal, per automation, per call minute and per AI action. Five tiers, $29.99/mo to $699/mo, with the features you probably came for sitting above the entry plan.
How many quotes are live in your workflow. Add users inside your plan cap, keep your closed quote history — the bill does not move.
Where the money goes as you grow
Up a tier. Satellite measurement unlocks at $74.99/mo, email and text follow-up automation at $149.99/mo, scheduling at $299/mo — so growth means buying the next bundle, and on the bottom three tiers each proposal you attach costs 100 credits.
Up an allowance. You move plans when more quotes are live at once, which is the thing that actually changed.
Scope
Broad: estimating, measurement, scheduling, invoicing, payments — a lot of surface area to adopt.
Narrow on purpose: the stage after a quote is sent. Tracking, aging, and follow-up until it is won or lost.
Time to useful
A platform rollout. Worth it if you want the whole suite; heavy if you only need the follow-up part.
Import your customers, leads, and open quotes from CSV and start working the follow-up queue the same afternoon.
Where QuoteIQ is genuinely strong
• QuoteIQ publishes its prices in full, which is more than most of this category manages. That deserves credit, not a straw-man comparison.
• Built-in satellite measurement from the $74.99/mo tier is genuinely useful if measuring roofs is a real bottleneck for you.
• If you want estimating, scheduling, and invoicing in one place, an all-in-one suite is the right shape of tool and Roof Hammer is not trying to be that.
The gap a tier-priced suite leaves open
• A tier-priced suite charges the same in a slow month as in your busiest one. Quote volume is the number that actually moves.
• The entry price is rarely the real price: follow-up automation sits at $149.99/mo, five times the $29.99 entry plan, and measurement and scheduling sit on their own tiers above that.
• A credit meter underneath a published tier is still a meter. When proposals, automations and call minutes each draw down an allowance, the number on the plan card is a floor.
• Broad platforms optimise for producing quotes. Very few of them are built around the discipline of chasing the ones already sent.
How Roof Hammer fits
Roof Hammer picks up once the quote is out the door. It keeps that quote visible, tracks how long it has been sitting, and tells you which ones need a touch today — so the jobs you already bid do not quietly slip away.
Plenty of contractors run it alongside the tool they already use for estimating. If quote creation is handled and the leak is on the follow-up side, you do not need to replace your suite to fix it.
Pricing, side by side
Both prices are published. The difference is what you are charged for.
Roof Hammer bills by active quotes — the ones live in your workflow right now. QuoteIQ bills per plan tier, with features gated by tier and usage metered in iq credits. Keep closed quotes and add users within your plan cap without extra per-record or per-seat fees. Roof Hammer does not provide measurement reports or automatic message sending.

$29.99 to $699/mo across five plans, plus metered IQ Credits
QuoteIQ publishes its prices and campaigns on pricing transparency, so this is a comparison about the model rather than about who is hiding a number. The catch is what unlocks where, and what is metered underneath: follow-up automation arrives at the $149.99/mo tier, and on the bottom three tiers a monthly allowance of IQ Credits is drawn down per proposal, per automation, per call minute and per AI action.
