Ready to see the difference for yourself?
QuoteIQ solves one piece of the puzzle. But estimates alone don't grow your painting business. Here's what happens when everything is connected.
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.
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.
Customers text back. With DripJobs, every conversation lives in one place alongside their deal, proposal, and job history. QuoteIQ has no messaging capability.
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.
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.
Estimating tool + CRM + texting service + invoicing platform + scheduling app + email marketing = expensive and disconnected. DripJobs replaces all of them.
Both tools serve painting contractors, but they solve very different problems.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
