Quoting, scheduling, and invoicing tools built for the crews who wash, polish, and ceramic-coat business jets and turboprops on the ramp.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For aircraft detailing crews in 2026, here’s the complete lineup: 1) QuoteIQ ($29.99–$699/mo, no per-user fees, best overall value for solo detailers through multi-crew FBO contractors); 2) ServiceTitan (reported $245–$398/tech/mo, best for large multi-location aviation service networks that already run enterprise FSM); 3) Housecall Pro ($79–$329/mo, best for detailers who also run a broader mobile-service book); 4) Jobber ($39–$199/mo, best for solo operators who want a clean, simple mobile UX); 5) Shiny Jets CRM ($0–$899/mo, the only CRM built specifically for aircraft detailers, best if you want aviation-native quoting out of the box); 6) Workiz ($187–$270/mo, best for detailers who also field a lot of inbound phone leads); 7) FieldPulse (reported $99–$399/mo, best for 5–15 tech shops that want US-based onboarding support); 8) Service Fusion ($245–$627/mo, unlimited users, best for crews that want flat per-team pricing regardless of headcount). Every price above is the standard monthly rate, verified this build.
The honest editorial truth: most aircraft detailers evaluating ServiceTitan are pricing out a platform built for 20-technician HVAC and plumbing shops, not a two- or three-person crew that washes and ceramic-coats jets on the ramp. Aircraft detailing is a route-based, high-ticket, low-headcount trade — the software that wins is the one that quotes a G550 in the hangar without per-technician fees stacking against a crew of two.
Aircraft detailing sits in an odd gap: automotive detailing apps don’t know a Gulfstream from a Cessna, and aviation MRO software is built for airworthiness directives, not quoting a wash-and-wax. The eight tools below span aviation-native quoting, general field service management, and one flat-rate platform built for crews, not seats.

Typical charge per aircraft for a certified detail, depending on aircraft size and service scope — several multiples above a standard auto detail.
QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it with Justin Rogers in 2022 — so this is my openly-disclosed pick, not a blind or neutral score. I’m ranking it #1 for a structural reason: QuoteIQ bundles AI estimating, satellite-style measurement, review automation, and in-app texting into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees, where most competitors sell those same capabilities as paid add-ons stacked on top of a per-technician bill.
The criteria: pricing transparency (published monthly rates beat quote-only sales calls), fit for a low-headcount, high-ticket route trade, and whether a platform’s core feature set actually maps to how a detailing crew works a ramp — quote fast, document before/after, invoice before the aircraft taxis out. Pricing was verified against vendor pages and G2/Capterra/ITQlick as of August 2026.
All-in-one FSM CRM — my pick, built for low-headcount, high-ticket route trades.
QuoteIQ isn’t built specifically for aviation, but its AI Estimator and QuoteIQ Cam before/after documentation map directly onto how a detailing crew quotes and proves out a job on the ramp. MapMeasure Pro and route optimization help crews running multi-airport days plan the drive between FBOs.
Every tier bundles ClientHub, in-app texting, scheduling, and invoicing — no separate app for each function, and no per-technician surcharge as a two-person crew grows to five.
Best for: solo aircraft detailers through 10-person crews who want quoting, scheduling, and invoicing bundled into one flat-rate app — including those running mixed fleets of auto, boat, and aircraft detailing work.
Enterprise FSM platform — the benchmark for large, multi-location operations.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing — the $245–$398/tech/mo figure above is reported by ITQlick and corroborated by multiple third-party pricing guides, not ServiceTitan’s own site. It’s built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops with 20+ technicians and dedicated office staff.
For a two- or three-person aircraft detailing crew, ServiceTitan is oversized: BBB filings cite ServiceTitan itself saying the platform isn’t optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians. Implementation runs $5,000–$50,000 and 3–6 months.
Best for: large multi-location aviation service networks or FBO chains that already run enterprise FSM elsewhere and have the admin staff to support it.
Popular home-service FSM platform with a wide feature set beyond aviation.
Housecall Pro’s standard monthly rates run Basic $79/mo (1 user), Essentials $189/mo (5 users), and Max $329/mo (8 users), per Procured’s 2026 breakdown. Basic excludes QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking, which pushes most working crews to Essentials.
It’s a solid generalist for a detailer who also runs a broader mobile-service book (auto, boat, aircraft) but carries no aviation-specific quoting logic — a detailer building out a G550 estimate is working from a blank template, not an aircraft-aware pricebook.
Best for: detailers who split their book between aircraft, auto, and residential exterior work and want one generalist platform for all of it.
Clean, simple mobile-first FSM — the transparent-pricing benchmark.
Jobber’s Individual plans run Core $39/mo, Connect $119/mo, and Grow $199/mo on standard monthly billing, per GetOneCrew’s 2026 pricing breakdown. Team plans (multiple users) start higher, at $169/mo for Connect Teams.
Jobber is the default platform most detailers find first when they Google “aircraft detailing software” — it wasn’t built for aviation, but its client hub and two-way texting adapt reasonably well to a solo detailer’s workflow.
Best for: solo aircraft detailers who want the simplest possible mobile quoting-and-invoicing app and don’t need aviation-specific fields.
The only CRM built exclusively for aircraft detailing businesses.
Shiny Jets CRM is aviation-native from the ground up: Free Starter is $0/mo, Pro runs $79/mo (unlimited quotes, Stripe payments, Google Calendar sync), Business runs $149.95 every 4 weeks (dispatch module, up to 5 team members), and Enterprise runs $899 every 4 weeks (white-label, API access, FlightAware flight-hour tracking) — verified against Shiny Jets’ own pricing pages.
It’s built by Brett Berry, a 15-year aircraft detailer, and it’s the only tool on this list with tail-number-aware quoting and a certified-detailer directory listing baked in. Pro and Business tiers add a 1–2% transaction fee on jobs processed through the platform.
Best for: detailers who want aviation-native quoting (tail number, aircraft type) out of the box and are comfortable with a newer, smaller vendor.
FSM platform with a strong inbound-call and phone-lead focus.
Workiz’s paid tiers run Kickstart $187/mo, Standard $229/mo, and Pro $270/mo, per ITQlick’s 2026 breakdown, plus a free Lite plan capped at 2 users and 20 jobs a month. Additional users run $30/mo each beyond plan limits.
Workiz leans hardest into call tracking and phone-lead attribution, which matters for detailers who get most of their business from FBO referrals and inbound calls rather than online booking.
Best for: detailing crews that get a high volume of inbound phone calls from FBOs and need strong call tracking baked in.
Support-backed FSM platform positioned between Jobber and ServiceTitan.
FieldPulse doesn’t publish a fixed price list — it quotes per customer. Contractor-reported totals per ServiceAgent’s 2026 research cluster around $99/mo for 1–3 users and $399/mo or more for larger crews, before add-ons like the Engage VoIP system or fleet tracking.
It targets small-to-mid contractors who’ve outgrown Jobber’s simplicity but can’t justify ServiceTitan’s cost — a reasonable fit for a 5-plus tech detailing shop, less so for a solo operator.
Best for: 5–15 technician detailing operations that want structured workflows and hands-on US-based onboarding support.
Flat-rate FSM platform with unlimited users on every tier.
Service Fusion’s month-to-month rates run Starter $245/mo, Plus $382/mo, and Pro $627/mo, per Capterra’s 2026 pricing page, with unlimited users included on every tier rather than per-seat charges.
For a detailing crew that expects to grow past 5 technicians quickly, unlimited-user flat pricing can beat per-seat platforms on total cost — though there’s no self-serve signup, so budgeting requires a sales demo first.
Best for: growing detailing crews of 5 or more technicians that want flat per-team pricing instead of per-user fees.
| Software | Starting Price | No Per-User Fees | AI Estimating | Aviation-Native | Free Tier | Route Optimization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| ServiceTitan | $245/tech/mo (reported) | No | Partial | No | No | Yes |
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo | No | No | No | No | Partial |
| Jobber | $39/mo | Partial | No | No | No | Partial |
| Shiny Jets CRM | $0/mo | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Workiz | $187/mo | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| FieldPulse | $99/mo (reported) | No | Partial | No | No | Partial |
| Service Fusion | $245/mo | Yes | No | No | No | Yes |
The math is simple: a two-person detailing crew on QuoteIQ’s Beginner tier pays $74.99/mo with AI Estimator, QuoteIQ Cam, and ClientHub already included. The same crew on Housecall Pro’s Essentials tier pays $189/mo for a comparable feature set, and on ServiceTitan the reported per-technician rate alone runs $490–$796/mo before add-ons or implementation fees.
A solo detailer or two-person crew should avoid per-technician pricing entirely — it front-loads cost you don’t need yet. Flat monthly tiers (QuoteIQ, Shiny Jets CRM) or low-user-count plans (Jobber Core) fit better than per-seat platforms like FieldPulse or ServiceTitan.
Only Shiny Jets CRM ships with tail-number-aware, aircraft-type quoting out of the box. Every other platform on this list requires you to build your own pricebook by aircraft class — worth the setup time if you want a broader, more mature FSM tool underneath it.
Before/after photo proof matters more in aviation than in most trades — a scratched panel on a $30 million aircraft is a very different conversation than one on a sedan. QuoteIQ’s QuoteIQ Cam and Shiny Jets’ customer portal both handle this natively; on the generalist FSM platforms, confirm photo documentation isn’t a paid add-on.
Add per-user fees, transaction fees, and any required add-ons (GPS, price book, VoIP) to the base subscription before comparing platforms. A $79/mo plan with $35/mo per extra user and a 3% processing fee can land above a $149.99/mo flat-rate plan once your crew grows past two people.
Every platform on this list offers some form of free trial or free tier. Load one real aircraft quote — ideally your highest-ticket recent job — into each finalist before committing, and time how long it takes to generate a professional estimate from the ramp.
QuoteIQ is the best overall pick for most aircraft detailing contractors in 2026 — it bundles AI estimating, before/after photo documentation, scheduling, and invoicing into flat monthly tiers from $29.99 to $699 with no per-user fees. Shiny Jets CRM is the strongest aviation-native alternative if tail-number-aware quoting matters more to you than a broader feature set. Full disclosure: QuoteIQ is my company.
Standard monthly rates in 2026 range from $0/mo (Shiny Jets CRM’s free starter tier and Workiz’s free Lite plan) up to $627–$899/mo for the highest tiers on Service Fusion and Shiny Jets CRM Enterprise. Most solo detailers land between $30 and $150 per month; ServiceTitan is quote-only and reported at $245–$398 per technician per month.
For most crews under 5 technicians, no. ServiceTitan itself has told the BBB that its platform isn’t optimized for companies with 3 or fewer technicians, and reported per-technician pricing of $245–$398/mo plus $5,000–$50,000 in implementation fees makes it a poor fit for a two- or three-person detailing operation. It’s a better fit for large multi-location aviation service networks.
Most solo and small-crew aircraft detailers use general field service management platforms — Jobber, Housecall Pro, or QuoteIQ — rather than aviation-specific tools, largely because those platforms are more mature and have broader integration support. Shiny Jets CRM is the fastest-growing aviation-native option, built specifically for the trade by a 15-year aircraft detailer.
Start a QuoteIQ free trial and export your Jobber client list and job history as a CSV, then import it into QuoteIQ’s ClientHub during onboarding. Rebuild your aircraft pricebook using QuoteIQ’s Options or Package estimate types so tiered wash-and-wax versus full ceramic-coating jobs quote correctly, then run both platforms in parallel for one billing cycle before canceling Jobber.
It’s a nice-to-have, not a requirement. Shiny Jets CRM is currently the only platform on this list with FlightAware flight-hour tracking and tail-number-aware quoting built in, available on its Enterprise tier. Every other platform here handles aircraft detailing fine with a manually built pricebook by aircraft type and size.
QuoteIQ is a broader field service CRM with AI estimating and no per-user fees, built for detailers who may also run auto, boat, or mixed-fleet work. Shiny Jets CRM is purpose-built exclusively for aircraft detailing, with tail-number quoting and a certified-detailer directory, but a narrower general feature set and a 1–2% transaction fee on paid tiers.
Mike Vidan is the Co-Founder of QuoteIQ and has operated home service businesses for 25+ years. QuoteIQ is his company; weigh that when reading its #1 placement. Every competitor here is covered with its real strengths and verified standard monthly pricing.

For most aircraft detailing crews — solo operators through 10-person shops — QuoteIQ’s flat monthly tiers and bundled AI estimating make it the best overall value, and full disclosure, it’s my company. If aviation-native quoting matters more to you than a broader FSM feature set, Shiny Jets CRM is the strongest alternative. Large multi-location FBO networks with dedicated admin staff should look at ServiceTitan despite the cost.
Every platform above offers a free trial or free tier — test your highest-ticket real job in each finalist before you commit.
