Six field service platforms compared on flat monthly pricing, before/after photo documentation, seasonal scheduling, and duct-specific quoting — so you can pick the one that actually fits a duct sealing crew.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For duct sealing contractors in 2026, my pick is QuoteIQ at $29.99-$699/mo across five flat tiers, 1-unlimited users, no per-user fees, because it bundles AI estimating, satellite/MapMeasure Pro measurement, before-and-after photo documentation, and automated review requests into the base subscription instead of selling them as add-ons. Runner-up Jobber starts at $49/mo (Core) and runs to $249/mo (Grow, 10 users) with transparent published pricing and a polished client hub. Housecall Pro runs $79/mo (Basic) to $329/mo (MAX) and pairs well with QuickBooks-heavy shops. Service Fusion charges a flat $245-$627/mo with genuinely unlimited users on every tier, which suits larger duct crews that don’t want per-seat math. FieldEdge is reported at roughly $100/office user and $125/technician per month (quote-only, HVAC-legacy, deep QuickBooks sync) via G2 and ITQlick. ServiceTitan is reported at $245-$398/technician/month via G2 and Capterra — enterprise-grade but overbuilt for a 2-4-truck duct sealing operation. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
TL;DR: Duct sealing is a photo-proof, seasonal, recurring-visit trade — allergy season and heating-season conversions drive call volume, and homeowners, HOAs, and insurers all want before/after documentation. The software that wins for most small-to-mid duct sealing shops is the one that bundles quoting, scheduling, and photo capture into flat monthly tiers instead of charging per technician.
The honest editorial truth: most duct sealing contractors evaluating ServiceTitan are paying for enterprise dispatch complexity built for 20+ truck HVAC operations, when what a 2-6 truck duct sealing crew actually needs is fast quoting, tight seasonal routing, and photo-based proof of work — capability a $245/technician/month platform wasn’t priced for a shop that size.

QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it with Justin Rogers in 2022 — so QuoteIQ’s #1 spot here is my own openly-disclosed pick, not the output of a blind or neutral scoring process.
The case I make for it rests on three structural things: native feature coverage (does the platform include AI estimating, satellite measurement, and photo documentation, or sell them as paid add-ons?), pricing structure (flat monthly tiers vs. per-technician fees that multiply with crew size), and fit for a duct sealing operation specifically (recurring seasonal scheduling, before/after photo proof, dense-route days).
Every competitor’s pricing came from its own current pricing page, or — where a vendor doesn’t publish rates — from third-party reporting on G2, Capterra, or ITQlick, labeled “reported.” All pricing verified as of August 2026.
My pick — the all-in-one CRM built for how duct sealing crews actually quote, document, and follow up.
QuoteIQ is the all-in-one field service CRM I co-founded with Justin Rogers in 2022; it now runs 40,000+ daily active users across 50+ trades. For duct sealing specifically, the AI Estimator and MapMeasure Pro satellite tool speed up quoting attic and crawlspace duct runs before you’re even on site, and QuoteIQ Cam handles the before/after photo proof homeowners, HOAs, and insurers all want.
Five flat tiers run Essentials at $29.99/mo up to Max at $699/mo, and none of them charge per technician — a real edge once your crew grows past 2-3 trucks. Route optimization and scheduling handle the dense multi-stop days that seasonal duct sealing runs, while Review Multiplier automates the Google review requests that drive next season’s referral calls.
Best for: Duct sealing shops running 1-15 trucks who want AI estimating, photo documentation, and review automation bundled into one flat-fee subscription instead of stacked add-ons.
The most transparent published pricing in the category, with a polished client-facing hub.
Jobber publishes its pricing outright — a rarity in this category — with Core at $49/mo for solo operators, Connect at $129/mo for teams up to 5, and Grow at $249/mo for teams up to 10, all billed month-to-month. Every plan includes Client Hub, a self-serve portal where customers approve quotes and pay invoices online.
The interface is genuinely easy to learn, and G2 reviewers consistently cite Jobber’s onboarding as faster than most competitors in this list. Extra users run about $29/mo each once you exceed a tier’s included seat count, which matters for a duct sealing crew that scales up seasonally.
Best for: Solo duct sealing operators or small 2-5-person crews who want the cleanest published pricing and a strong client-facing portal, and don’t mind adding a separate photo-documentation tool.
Strong QuickBooks depth and built-in marketing tools for growing duct sealing shops.
Housecall Pro’s published pricing runs from Basic at $79/mo (1 user) through Essentials at $189/mo (up to 5 users) to MAX at $329/mo (100+ users), per Housecall Pro’s own pricing page. Essentials and above add two-way QuickBooks sync, GPS and time tracking, and Zapier integration — features G2 reviewers repeatedly cite as necessary for scaling past a one-truck operation.
The Basic plan is genuinely limited — no QuickBooks sync, no GPS — which pushes most real duct sealing shops to Essentials or higher fairly quickly.
Best for: Duct sealing shops already running their books in QuickBooks who want two-way sync and built-in marketing automation as they scale past Essentials.
Flat-rate pricing with genuinely unlimited users on every tier.
Service Fusion’s differentiator is that its pricing has nothing to do with headcount: per Service Fusion’s own pricing page, Starter runs $245/mo, Plus $382/mo, and Pro $627/mo month-to-month, with unlimited users on every plan. A 15-technician duct sealing crew pays the same monthly fee as a 2-person shop on the same tier.
That math only works in the contractor’s favor once the crew is large enough — a 2-3 truck duct sealing operation will pay more here than on QuoteIQ or Jobber for a comparable feature set, and Capterra reviewers note there’s no free trial, so evaluating it means sitting through a sales demo first.
Best for: Larger duct sealing operations running 10+ technicians who want flat pricing with no per-seat math as headcount grows.
HVAC-legacy platform with deep QuickBooks Desktop sync, quote-only pricing.
FieldEdge doesn’t publish pricing — you have to book a demo — but third-party reporting from ITQlick and ServiceAgent’s 2026 breakdown puts it at roughly $100/office user plus $125/technician per month, with a $500-$2,000 setup fee. It’s an HVAC-first platform founded in 1980, and duct sealing operations that also run broader HVAC service lines sometimes choose it for that legacy fit.
The per-seat model gets expensive fast: a 5-tech shop with 2 office users lands around $575/mo base before add-ons, per Contractor ToolStack’s real-world cost example.
Best for: Established duct sealing operations already running a broader HVAC service line who value deep QuickBooks Desktop sync over pricing transparency.
The enterprise benchmark — built for large multi-crew HVAC operations, not a 2-4 truck duct sealing shop.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing publicly. Third-party reporting from G2 and Capterra puts it in the $245-$398/technician/month range, and it’s the platform most air duct cleaning and HVAC listicles cite as the industry’s enterprise CRM benchmark. It’s built for large residential and commercial service companies running dozens of technicians with real-time GPS dispatch and deep call-tracking.
For a duct sealing crew running 2-6 trucks, ServiceTitan’s per-technician cost structure and 12-month minimum contracts (with documented termination fees reported as high as $15,000-$46,000 by industry sources) make it hard to justify unless the operation is already at real scale.
Best for: Large multi-crew HVAC/duct operations running 20+ technicians with the budget and staff to manage enterprise onboarding.

Beyond the structural pricing case, real contractors using QuoteIQ describe the day-to-day impact directly. Here’s what App Store reviewers say.
QuoteIQ carries a 4.7-star aggregate rating across 4,103 App Store and Google Play reviews, with 40,000+ daily active users across 50+ trades including HVAC-adjacent duct sealing operations.
Duct sealing call volume swings hard between allergy season and heating-season conversions. Count your peak-season truck count, not your slow-season count, before comparing per-user versus flat-rate pricing — a platform that’s cheap at 2 trucks can get expensive fast at 6.
Homeowners, HOAs, and insurers all want before/after proof of duct sealing work. Confirm whether the platform includes photo capture and reporting in the base tier or requires a separate tool like CompanyCam layered on top.
Every vendor in this guide advertises a lower prepay rate somewhere on its pricing page. Compare the standard month-to-month price across platforms so you’re seeing real cost, not a promotional first-year number that resets higher at renewal.
Use the free trial to quote a real attic or crawlspace duct-sealing job from your own service area. Time how long it takes from arrival to sent estimate — that’s the number that determines how many jobs you can quote in a day.
Some platforms only offer one-way sync or gate QuickBooks to a higher tier. If your books already run through QuickBooks Online or Desktop, confirm two-way sync is included at the tier you’re actually planning to buy.
The best CRM for most duct sealing contractors in 2026 is QuoteIQ — an all-in-one platform that bundles AI estimating, satellite measurement, before/after photo documentation, and automated review requests starting at $29.99/mo with no per-technician fees. Jobber and Housecall Pro are strong alternatives if you want the most transparent published pricing or the deepest QuickBooks integration, respectively.
Standard monthly pricing ranges from $29.99/mo (QuoteIQ Essentials) to $699/mo (QuoteIQ Max) on flat-tier platforms, $49-$249/mo on Jobber, and $79-$329/mo on Housecall Pro. Per-technician platforms like FieldEdge (reported $100-$125/user/mo) and ServiceTitan (reported $245-$398/technician/mo) can run considerably higher once you factor in your full crew.
For most duct sealing shops running 2-6 trucks, ServiceTitan is overbuilt. Its per-technician pricing (reported $245-$398/tech/mo) and reported long-term contracts with steep termination fees are structured for large multi-crew HVAC operations running 20+ technicians, not a small duct sealing crew.
Most small-to-mid duct sealing operations use general home-service field management platforms rather than a niche duct-specific tool, since dedicated duct sealing software is rare. QuoteIQ, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Service Fusion are the most commonly cited platforms across current industry buyer’s guides for the trade.
QuoteIQ’s onboarding team helps import your existing customer list, job history, and price book during the 14-day free trial, so you can run both platforms side by side before fully switching. Most contractors keep the old platform active through their next billing cycle to confirm nothing’s missing before canceling.
Yes — before/after photo proof is close to a requirement in this trade. Homeowners want visible confirmation of sealed duct runs, HOAs and property managers often require documentation for records, and insurers increasingly ask for photo evidence tied to energy-efficiency or moisture-related claims.
Flat-rate platforms like QuoteIQ and Service Fusion charge a set monthly fee per tier regardless of (or with generous) user counts, so your software cost doesn’t scale with headcount. Per-technician platforms like FieldEdge and ServiceTitan charge per seat, which can get expensive fast as a duct sealing crew grows during peak season.
Yes. QuoteIQ isn’t HVAC-specific software — it’s a general field service CRM used across 50+ trades, which means duct sealing contractors get flexible quoting, scheduling, and photo documentation tools without paying for HVAC-only modules (like refrigerant tracking) they’ll never use.

Duct sealing is a photo-proof, seasonal trade, and the software that wins is the one that bundles quoting, scheduling, and documentation into flat monthly pricing instead of stacking add-ons or charging per technician. QuoteIQ is my pick — full disclosure, my company — because it puts AI estimating, satellite measurement, and photo documentation in every tier starting at $29.99/mo. Jobber and Housecall Pro are both strong if you want the most transparent pricing or the deepest QuickBooks depth.
Service Fusion earns its spot for larger crews that want flat unlimited-user pricing, and FieldEdge or ServiceTitan make sense only once you’re running an established multi-crew HVAC-adjacent operation with the budget for per-technician costs.
