The CRM and dispatch platforms that actually handle big-box partner pipelines, delivery-window scheduling, and proof-of-delivery for appliance delivery and install crews.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For appliance delivery and install businesses in 2026, I rank QuoteIQ ($29.99–$699/mo, no per-user fees) #1 because it bundles big-box dealer pipelines, satellite property pre-qualification, AI estimating, and route optimization into flat tiers, followed by Jobber ($49–$249/mo) for the cleanest transparent-pricing scheduling and invoicing, Housecall Pro ($79–$329/mo) for QuickBooks depth and built-in financing, ServiceTitan (reported $245–$500/technician/month, quote-only) for large multi-crew enterprise operations, DispatchTrack (reported from roughly $50–$75/user/month, quote-only) for high-volume big-and-bulky last-mile delivery serving retail partners, Workiz (reported roughly $187–$270/mo) for call-heavy on-demand dispatch, Onfleet ($599–$2,999/mo) for premium task-based route optimization at scale, Detrack ($29–$39/driver/mo) for affordable proof-of-delivery tracking, and FieldPulse (reported roughly $99–$399/mo) for custom multi-stage delivery workflows. Every price here is the standard month-to-month rate, verified this build.
TL;DR: Appliance delivery and install work isn’t like a one-hour HVAC service call — you’re juggling dealer partner Kanbans, two-person delivery crews, appointment windows, and haul-away logistics. The honest editorial truth: most small appliance delivery operators evaluating ServiceTitan or DispatchTrack are pricing out capability built for 20-truck fleets and national retail contracts, when a flat-tier CRM that bundles route optimization, partner pipelines, and proof-of-delivery photos covers 90% of what a 1–10 truck operation actually needs — without per-technician fees stacking on top of every hire.

QuoteIQ is my company. I co-founded it in 2022 with Justin Rogers, so its #1 spot here is my pick, not a neutral score from an evaluation that didn’t happen. The case rests on three structural facts: QuoteIQ bundles big-box dealer pipelines, satellite property pre-qualification, AI estimating, and route optimization into flat monthly tiers, it charges no per-user fees on any plan, and it’s priced at a fraction of what ServiceTitan or DispatchTrack charge for comparable dispatch depth.
I pulled every price from each vendor’s own pricing page where published, and from reviewer-reported figures on G2, Capterra, and BBB filings where it isn’t (ServiceTitan, DispatchTrack, Workiz, and FieldPulse are quote-only as of this build — I’ve labeled those figures “reported”). Every competitor gets its real pros, its real cons, and a segment where it genuinely beats QuoteIQ. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
My pick — the only platform built with a native big-box dealer pipeline for appliance delivery and install crews.
I built QuoteIQ specifically to fix what generic field service software gets wrong for delivery-and-install trades: it needs a partner pipeline. The appliance installation CRM tracks Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, and regional dealer relationships in separate Kanban boards, with net-15/net-30 batch billing on Invoice Subscriptions.
Route Density Zones stack daily delivery installs geographically, MapMeasure Pro verifies driveway width and entry routes by satellite before a truck rolls, and QuoteIQ Cam logs before/after delivery photos as proof of condition. Consumer financing and in-app texting are included on every tier, not sold as add-ons.
Best for: Solo-to-mid-size appliance delivery and install operators — including those running active big-box dealer partner contracts — who want dispatch, financing, and route planning bundled into one flat-tier CRM.
The transparent-pricing benchmark — publishes every rate, no sales call required.
Jobber is the rare field service platform that lists every price on its own site: Core at $49/mo for one user, Connect at $129/mo for up to five, Grow at $249/mo for up to fifteen. For a small appliance delivery crew that just needs scheduling, invoicing, and online payments without a sales demo, that transparency alone is worth the entry price.
Automatic route optimization landed on the Grow tier in 2025, and the Client Hub lets customers approve delivery windows and pay invoices online. What it doesn’t have is any concept of a dealer or big-box partner pipeline — every job is a standalone client record, per G2’s published plan breakdown.
Best for: Solo-to-15-person delivery crews that want the simplest, most transparently priced scheduling and invoicing tool and don’t run active big-box dealer contracts.
Strong QuickBooks depth and built-in financing, at a higher published price than Jobber.
Housecall Pro runs Basic at $79/mo for one user, Essentials at $189/mo for up to five, and MAX at $329/mo for larger teams — all published, monthly, no-commitment rates. Essentials adds QuickBooks sync, GPS tracking, and marketing tools that Basic lacks, per Capterra’s plan comparison.
Consumer financing through Wisetack ships on the MAX plan, which matters for a $2,800 refrigerator replacement. The gap: Housecall Pro doesn’t offer native route optimization as of early 2026, and common add-ons (Sales Proposals, vehicle GPS, the flat-rate Price Book) push the real monthly bill well past the sticker price.
Best for: Teams that lean on QuickBooks Desktop sync and want built-in consumer financing on large-ticket appliance replacements without adding a third-party tool.
The enterprise benchmark — built for 20+ truck operations, priced and contracted like it.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing — you book a sales call. Third-party trackers including ITQlick and TrustRadius report a per-technician range of roughly $245–$500/month, plus $5,000–$50,000 in implementation fees, sourced from user reports on G2, Capterra, and BBB filings.
ServiceTitan has publicly stated it isn’t optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians and works best at 20+. For a large regional appliance delivery operation juggling multiple crews and a heavy marketing budget, the reporting and dispatch depth can justify the cost. For a five-truck operation, it’s enterprise pricing for capability that mostly goes unused.
Best for: Large, multi-crew appliance delivery and install operations (20+ technicians, $5M+ revenue) that need enterprise dispatch and marketing attribution and can absorb the implementation cost.
The most-cited name in big-and-bulky last-mile delivery — built for furniture and appliance retail partners.
DispatchTrack is the platform Ferguson, Ashley Furniture, and Walmart’s delivery networks use for big-and-bulky last-mile logistics, per Software Advice. It’s purpose-built around appointment-window scheduling and electronic proof of delivery for exactly the kind of two-person, high-value delivery that appliance operators run.
DispatchTrack doesn’t publish flat pricing; third-party trackers report a starting range near $50–$75 per user/month, and reviewers note the platform is layered — core dispatch is one line item, and features like customer self-scheduling and advanced reporting show up as separate add-on costs once you turn everything on, per Capterra.
Best for: High-volume big-and-bulky delivery operations running appointment-based service for national furniture or appliance retail partners.
Built for call-heavy, on-demand dispatch — several appliance delivery shops run their whole phone line through it.
Workiz now requires a sales call for every tier — Standard, Pro, and Ultimate all list “Request pricing” on the vendor’s own site. Third-party trackers including ITQlick report Kickstart around $187/mo, Standard around $229/mo, and Pro around $270/mo, with unlimited jobs, invoices, and estimates on every plan.
Its real strength for this trade: several appliance delivery and repair operators (its own site lists Appliance USA Pro and Express Appliance Repair as customers) run dispatch through Workiz because the built-in phone system and Genius AI answering handle the inbound call volume a delivery business actually gets. Genius Phone and Genius Answering are sold as add-ons, though, and a Capterra reviewer reported the CRM-plus-phone combination running near $400/month once both are active.
Best for: Call-heavy, on-demand appliance delivery and repair dispatch shops that want an integrated phone system and AI call answering baked into daily workflow.
Premium task-based dispatch — priced for teams running dozens of stops a day, not a handful.
Onfleet publishes three tiers: Launch at $599/mo (2,500 delivery/pickup tasks), Scale at $1,299/mo (5,000 tasks), and Enterprise at $2,999/mo (10,000+ tasks), per GetApp’s published breakdown. Every tier includes unlimited users, which helps a delivery operation that adds seasonal drivers.
The dispatcher console, predictive ETAs, and driver-dispatcher chat are genuinely strong for high-volume last-mile routing. But Onfleet is a dispatch tool, not a CRM — there’s no quoting, invoicing, or dealer partner pipeline — and SMS/voice telephony is billed separately on top of the subscription.
Best for: Larger delivery operations running dozens to hundreds of daily stops that need premium dispatcher tooling and can absorb the $599+/mo floor.
The cheapest option here — a bolt-on proof-of-delivery layer, not a CRM.
Detrack charges per active driver license, billed monthly: the Pro plan is $29/license/month, and Advanced (which adds route optimization) is $39/license/month, per Detrack’s own FAQ page. For a two- or three-truck appliance delivery operation, that’s the lowest entry price of anything on this list.
What you get is real-time tracking, electronic proof of delivery with photos and signatures, and automated SMS/WhatsApp/email customer updates — but nothing resembling a CRM. There’s no quoting, no invoicing, no dealer partner pipeline; Detrack is a tracking layer most operators run alongside a separate scheduling tool, per G2’s reviews.
Best for: Budget-conscious small delivery fleets that mainly need proof-of-delivery and live tracking layered on top of whatever scheduling tool they already run.
Custom workflow stages for multi-step delivery-install-haul-away jobs, at a seat price you have to call for.
FieldPulse doesn’t publish pricing — it sells full-access and field-only seats at custom rates and requires a demo call to get a quote. Contractor-reported figures compiled by Tooled Up Pro put a small team around $99/month and a larger crew near $399/month before add-ons.
The feature that fits appliance delivery specifically: FieldPulse lets you build custom job-stage workflows, so a single job can move through delivery, install, and haul-away as distinct tracked stages instead of one flat status. Fleet GPS tracking is a separate add-on around $30/vehicle/month, and there’s still no dealer partner pipeline.
Best for: Small-to-mid delivery crews that want custom job-stage workflows tracking delivery, install, and haul-away separately, and don’t mind a sales call to get pricing.

Run the math on a five-truck appliance delivery operation. ServiceTitan at a reported $245–$500 per technician lands between $1,225 and $2,500/month before implementation fees. QuoteIQ’s Elite plan covers up to 10 users at a flat $299/month — no per-technician math required, and the dealer partner pipeline and route optimization are already included rather than sold as add-ons the way DispatchTrack and FieldPulse structure theirs.
Here’s what QuoteIQ users say after switching:
Write out every stage a job passes through — dealer referral or big-box order intake, scheduling the delivery window, the two-person delivery and install, haul-away of the old unit, and final invoicing. Any CRM you shortlist needs to represent all of those stages, not just “scheduled” and “done.” Most generic field service tools were built for a single-visit repair call, not a multi-stage delivery job, so this step alone eliminates a few options fast.
If any of your volume comes from Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Costco, or a regional appliance dealer, ask specifically whether the platform tracks those relationships as separate pipelines with batch net-15/net-30 billing. Most CRMs treat every job as a standalone client record, which means your team is manually reconciling dealer invoices outside the software — a real time cost that only shows up after you’ve signed up.
Route optimization without photo proof of delivery leaves you exposed on damage disputes; proof of delivery without route optimization leaves fuel and labor on the table. Confirm both are included at the tier you’d actually buy — several platforms on this list gate one or both behind a higher plan or a separate add-on.
Per-technician and per-user pricing models look cheap at the entry tier and compound fast once you add a second truck or a seasonal hire. Take the price at your actual current headcount, and again at where you expect to be in 12 months, before you compare across vendors — the ranking can flip once you do that math.
Load a week of actual delivery jobs into the trial account, including at least one dealer-partner order if you run those, and have your dispatcher and a driver both use it in the field. A platform that looks complete in a sales demo can still miss a step your specific delivery workflow depends on.
QuoteIQ is my pick for most appliance delivery and install businesses in 2026, starting at $29.99/month with no per-user fees. It’s the only platform in this list with a native big-box dealer partner pipeline (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Costco, and regional dealer boards), plus satellite property pre-qualification and included route optimization. That said, “best” depends on your operation: a five-truck shop running national retail delivery contracts may get more from DispatchTrack’s appointment-window scheduling, and a 20+ technician enterprise operation may need ServiceTitan’s reporting depth.
I disclose upfront that QuoteIQ is my company, so weigh that as you read this ranking.
Pricing spans a wide range depending on what you need. A bolt-on tracking layer like Detrack starts at $29/driver/month. Full CRMs built for this trade cluster between roughly $29.99 and $329/month for small-to-mid teams — QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro all publish these figures. Premium task-based dispatch tools like Onfleet start at $599/month. ServiceTitan, DispatchTrack, Workiz, and FieldPulse are all quote-only as of this build, with third-party-reported ranges from roughly $99/month to $500+ per technician/month depending on the vendor and your team size.
Probably not if you’re running three or fewer technicians — ServiceTitan has publicly stated its platform isn’t optimized for operations that small, and works best at 20+ technicians. Reported pricing runs $245–$500 per technician/month plus $5,000–$50,000 in implementation fees, which is enterprise-tier spend for capability a small delivery crew won’t fully use. A five-truck operation typically gets more value from a flat-tier platform like QuoteIQ or Jobber, and can revisit ServiceTitan once the business scales into multi-crew, multi-location territory.
It splits by scale. Large regional and national delivery networks serving retail partners lean toward DispatchTrack, which counts furniture and appliance retailers among its core customers. Small-to-mid appliance delivery and install businesses split mainly between QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro. Call-heavy shops that also handle appliance repair alongside delivery — several of which appear as customers on Workiz’s own site — often run their dispatch through Workiz specifically for its built-in phone system.
Switching is straightforward if the new platform accepts CSV imports for customers, jobs, and invoices — most modern CRMs, including QuoteIQ, Housecall Pro, and FieldPulse, support this and offer migration assistance during onboarding. Export your Jobber client list, job history, and outstanding invoices first, then run the new platform’s free trial in parallel with Jobber for one to two weeks before fully cutting over, so your dispatcher and drivers can confirm nothing critical — especially any dealer partner records — got lost in the move.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s Pipelines CRM tracks Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Costco, and regional appliance dealer partner relationships in separate Kanban boards, and Invoice Subscriptions automates net-15 or net-30 batch billing for those partner contracts. Route Density Zones then stack the daily delivery installs from those partner orders geographically, so a crew running two active big-box contracts can see partner volume, batch billing status, and route load in one place instead of reconciling a spreadsheet against the CRM separately.
A route planner like Detrack or Onfleet mainly optimizes stop order and confirms proof of delivery — it doesn’t quote jobs, invoice customers, or track a dealer relationship. A full CRM like QuoteIQ, Jobber, or Housecall Pro also handles customer records, estimating, invoicing, and payments, with QuoteIQ additionally covering big-box partner pipelines. Most appliance delivery businesses eventually need both route logic and CRM logic; the question is whether you want one platform that does both or two subscriptions stitched together with CSV exports.

If you’re running a solo-to-mid-size appliance delivery or install business — especially one with active big-box dealer contracts — QuoteIQ is my pick, starting at $29.99/month with no per-user fees. If you just need the simplest, most transparently priced scheduling tool, Jobber is the safer default.
If you’re running a national retail delivery contract at real scale, get a DispatchTrack or ServiceTitan quote before you sign anything — the per-unit math changes fast at that volume, and I’d rather you know that going in than find out three months into a contract.
