The Quick Verdict

One is an estimating tool. The other is a complete business platform.

QUOTEIQ

Painting Estimating Tool

QuoteIQ focuses on one thing: generating professional painting estimates using measurement data. It's good at quick proposals and measurement integration — but that's where it stops. No CRM, no follow-ups, no texting, no invoicing, no job management.

Why an All-in-One CRM Beats a Single Tool

QuoteIQ solves one piece of the puzzle. But estimates alone don't grow your painting business. Here's what happens when everything is connected.

🔗

Estimates That Become Proposals

With DripJobs, your production rate estimate flows directly into a professional proposal your customer can accept online — no re-entering data in a separate app.

🤖

Automated Follow-Ups Close Deals

An estimate means nothing if you don't follow up. DripJobs sends 40+ automated text and email sequences so no lead goes cold — even when you're on a job site.

💬

Two-Way Texting Builds Trust

Customers text back. With DripJobs, every conversation lives in one place alongside their deal, proposal, and job history. QuoteIQ has no messaging capability.

💳

Get Paid Without Chasing

From accepted proposal to invoice to payment — it all happens inside DripJobs. Collect deposits, send invoices, accept credit cards and ACH. No separate invoicing tool.

📊

Know Your Real Profit

DripJobs job costing tracks labor hours, materials, and overhead per project so you know exactly how much money you made — not just what you estimated.

📱

One App, Not Six

Estimating tool + CRM + texting service + invoicing platform + scheduling app + email marketing = expensive and disconnected. DripJobs replaces all of them.

Who Should Choose What?

Both tools serve painting contractors, but they solve very different problems.

  • Only need a standalone estimating/quoting tool
  • Already have a CRM, invoicing, texting, and scheduling solution you're happy with

Choose DripJobs if you...

  • Need invoicing, payments, and deposit collection built in
  • Want job costing to know your real profit per project
  • Need an AI assistant to help manage your pipeline
  • Want to stop paying for 5+ separate tools

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between DripJobs and QuoteIQ?

QuoteIQ is a painting estimating and quoting tool focused on generating professional estimates using measurement data. DripJobs is an all-in-one CRM that covers your entire business — sales pipeline, 40+ automated drip follow-ups, two-way texting, Jobi AI assistant, proposals, invoicing and payments, job management, customer portal, production rate estimating, job costing, email marketing, and a mobile app. QuoteIQ solves one piece of the puzzle; DripJobs replaces your entire tool stack.

Does DripJobs have estimating features like QuoteIQ?

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. Plus, your estimates flow directly into proposals, invoicing, and job costing — all connected in one system.

Can I use QuoteIQ and DripJobs together?

You can, but most contractors find it unnecessary once they start using DripJobs. DripJobs includes its own production rate estimating that ties directly into your proposals, invoicing, and job costing — eliminating the need for a separate estimating tool.

Is DripJobs more expensive than QuoteIQ?

DripJobs starts at $97/month for Pro and $147/month for Advanced. While QuoteIQ may have a lower price point for estimating alone, DripJobs replaces 5-6 separate tools (CRM, texting, email marketing, invoicing, scheduling, estimating). Most contractors save money overall by consolidating into one platform instead of paying for multiple subscriptions.

What features does DripJobs have that QuoteIQ does not?

DripJobs includes a visual sales pipeline, 40+ automated drip follow-up sequences, two-way SMS texting, Jobi AI assistant, online invoicing and payment collection, a customer portal, job scheduling and crew management, job costing with real-time profit tracking, email blast marketing, review requests, a mobile app, and integrations with Facebook, Google Ads, Angi, Thumbtack, QuickBooks, and 5,000+ tools via Zapier.

Who is DripJobs best for?

DripJobs is built for painting contractors and home service businesses who want one platform to manage their entire operation — from the first lead to the final payment. It was founded by Tanner Mullen, the owner of a $1.5M painting company, so every feature is built from real-world contractor experience. Over 2,300 contractors use DripJobs today.
