Quoting from the driveway, tracking custom door orders through manufacturer lead times, dispatching spring and opener calls the same day, and getting paid before the truck pulls out — ranked on what each platform actually bundles at its standard monthly rate.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. 1. QuoteIQ ($29.99/mo Essentials, $74.99/mo Beginner, $149.99/mo Pro, $299/mo Elite for 10 users, $699/mo Max for unlimited users, no per-user fees) is my pick for the 1–15 tech door shop that installs entry doors, patio doors, and overhead doors and needs AI estimating, satellite measurement, photo documentation, and review automation bundled instead of bolted on. 2. ServiceTitan (reported at $245–$398 per technician monthly plus $5,000–$50,000 implementation) is the enterprise standard for 20+ technician overhead door operations with dedicated dispatch staff. 3. Jobber ($39/mo Core, $119/mo Connect, $199/mo Grow, $169–$599/mo team tiers, $29 per extra user) has the cleanest quoting flow for solo and small install crews. 4. Housecall Pro ($79/mo Basic, $189/mo Essentials, $329/mo MAX, $35 per extra user on MAX) is the most polished consumer-facing booking experience for 5–15 tech residential door shops. 5. Workiz ($225/mo Kickstart, $275/mo Standard, $325/mo Pro, Ultimate by quote) owns the emergency-call niche with a built-in phone system for shops living on broken-spring calls.
TL;DR: Door installation is two businesses wearing one uniform. Half your revenue is custom-order work with a three-to-eight-week manufacturer lead time between the measure and the install. The other half is same-day emergency repair — a broken torsion spring, an opener that quit, a storm door off its hinges. Software that only handles one half will cost you jobs on the other.
The honest editorial truth: most door contractors sitting through a ServiceTitan demo are shopping for capability they will not use for another decade. At $245–$398 per technician monthly plus a five-figure implementation, a six-tech shop is looking at roughly $1,470–$2,388 monthly before add-on modules. The right platform for a shop that size is the one that bundles estimating, photo documentation, scheduling, invoicing, and review collection into a flat tier without charging you again every time you hire an installer.

Start here: QuoteIQ is my company. I co-founded it in 2022 with Justin Rogers, and I put it at number one. That is not a neutral score and I am not going to dress it up as one. What I can tell you is that the case below is structural and checkable, and that every competitor on this list is covered with its real strengths and its verified standard monthly price.
The criteria are the same four I apply to every trade I cover. First, what is bundled into the base tier versus sold as a paid add-on module — because add-on creep is where field service software budgets actually die. Second, whether pricing is flat by tier or charged per user, which matters enormously in a trade that staffs up two-man install crews. Third, fit for the actual door workflow: custom-order intake with rough-opening measurements, lead-time tracking, deposit-then-balance invoicing, and same-day dispatch for repair calls.
Fourth, the documented cost of the third-party tools you would have to bolt on to close each platform’s gaps.
On experience: I have run home service businesses for 25 years, and exterior cleaning is my actual trade — not door installation. I do not hang doors. What I do is build software for contractors who do, and I talk to door shops every week about where their current tool falls down. Read the competitor sections as a software operator’s assessment, not as a claim of hands-on install experience I have not earned.
Data sources: vendor pricing pages, G2, Capterra, ITQlick, and app-store review corpora. Quote-only vendors are labeled reported and sourced to third parties. All pricing verified as of July 2026, at standard month-to-month rates only.
My pick, and my company — flat monthly tiers that bundle AI estimating, measurement, and photo documentation for 1–15 tech door shops.
QuoteIQ runs five flat tiers: Essentials at $29.99/mo for one user, Beginner at $74.99/mo for two, Pro at $149.99/mo for four, Elite at $299/mo for ten, and Max at $699/mo for unlimited users. No tier charges per seat. For a door shop that runs two-man install crews and adds a helper in spring, that is the difference between a predictable bill and a bill that climbs every hiring cycle. See the garage door and door installation build for the trade-specific configuration.
The features that matter for doors are native, not add-ons. The AI Estimator builds a line-itemized quote from door size, material, opener model, and spring system in seconds. Options Estimates put good/better/best door tiers in front of a homeowner on the spot, which is how a $2,400 steel entry job becomes a $4,100 fiberglass job with sidelights. QuoteIQ Cam timestamps before-and-after photos of the opening, the jamb condition, and the finished install — your defense when a homeowner calls about pre-existing rot six weeks later.
On the back end, scheduling and route optimization handle the same-day repair calls, invoicing handles deposit-then-balance billing on custom orders, and inventory management tracks the spring, roller, and hardware stock on each truck. Review Multiplier requests a Google review after every paid invoice, ClientHub gives the homeowner an order-status portal during the lead-time gap, and consumer financing sits inside the estimate for the $6,000 double-door-plus-opener ticket.
The dollar math is the honest argument. A five-person door shop on Pro pays $149.99/mo flat. The nearest equivalent build on a per-seat platform — a mid-tier subscription plus a photo-documentation app plus a review tool plus a measurement add-on — commonly lands between $350 and $500 monthly for the same working feature set. Over 12 months that gap is roughly $2,400 to $4,200, which is a used box truck or a full trade-show booth.
Best for: 1–15 technician door installation and repair shops that quote on site, run mixed install-and-service schedules, and want estimating, measurement, photos, and reviews in one flat bill. If you run 20+ technicians across multiple branches with dedicated dispatchers, ServiceTitan genuinely beats us on depth — go read that section.
The enterprise standard for large overhead door operations with dedicated dispatch and office staff.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing. Third-party compilations from ITQlick, contractor forums, and BBB filings put the reported range at $245–$398 per technician monthly across the Starter, Essentials, and The Works tiers, with a one-time implementation fee reported between $5,000 and $50,000 and a 12-month minimum commitment. ITQlick reports the Starter tier around $245–$300 per technician and The Works at $400–$500. You book a demo through the pricing page to get a real number.
What you buy at that price is genuine. Capacity-based scheduling, marketing attribution down to the individual call source, memberships and service agreements, a flat-rate price book with configurable good/better/best presentation, and reporting deep enough to tell you which installer’s average ticket is dragging the branch down. For a door company running 25 technicians across three markets, the marketing attribution alone can pay the subscription. The product suite and help center show the scope honestly.
The problem for a typical door shop is scale mismatch. ServiceTitan has publicly positioned itself away from very small operations, and the per-technician model means a six-installer company is looking at roughly $1,470–$2,388 monthly at the reported range before Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, or Pricebook Pro modules — each with unpublished pricing that G2 reviewers commonly report adding 30–50% on top.
Best for: Overhead door and commercial door companies running 20+ technicians with dedicated dispatchers, a real marketing budget, and the office staff to operate an enterprise platform. At that scale it beats QuoteIQ on reporting depth and I would tell you so on the phone.
The cleanest quoting and client-communication flow for solo and small door install crews.
Jobber publishes its numbers, which I respect. On standard month-to-month terms the individual plans are Core at $39/mo for one user, Connect at $119/mo, and Grow at $199/mo. Team plans run Connect Team at $169/mo for five users, Grow Team at $349/mo for ten, and Plus at $599/mo for fifteen. Every seat past a plan’s included count is $29/mo. Those figures come from the Jobber pricing page and are corroborated on Capterra.
The product is genuinely well made. Quotes look sharp on a phone, the client hub keeps a homeowner informed without your office answering the phone, and the mobile app is the one competitors benchmark against. For a two-person door shop doing entry-door and storm-door replacements, Jobber Core covers scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and payments cleanly. The feature list and help center are both well documented.
Where it gets expensive is growth. Adding a single employee to an individual plan pushes you into a team tier — $39/mo becomes $169/mo minimum. A 20-person door company on Plus works out to $599 plus five extra seats at $29, or $744/mo for the base subscription alone. Add the AI Receptionist at $99/mo and the Marketing Suite at $79/mo and you are past $900 before payment processing. G2 reviewers also flag reporting depth and QuickBooks sync consistency as recurring gaps.
Best for: Solo and two-person door installers who value quote polish and client communication above bundled feature depth. If your whole operation is you, a helper, and a trailer, Jobber Core at $39/mo is a legitimately better value than any tier I sell.
The most polished homeowner-facing booking and payment experience for residential door shops.
Housecall Pro runs three tiers. On standard month-to-month terms Basic is $79/mo for one user, Essentials is $189/mo for up to five, and MAX is $329/mo with additional users at $35/mo each. The pricing page is the primary source; G2’s pricing data corroborates the tier structure.
The consumer-facing layer is the strongest thing here. Online booking, automated appointment reminders, technician-on-the-way texts, and a payment flow that homeowners complete without friction. For a residential door shop doing high volume in opener replacements and storm doors, that experience converts. Review management is built in rather than bolted on, which is unusual at this price. The feature overview and help center lay out what sits at each tier.
The catch is the add-on ladder. Basic excludes QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking, which pushes almost every real crew to Essentials at $189/mo. Sales Proposals, vehicle GPS, the flat-rate price book, and HCP Assist live answering are all priced on top. G2 reviewers commonly report a working monthly total well above the advertised tier once the necessary add-ons are switched on. Housecall Pro is also built for service-call workflows, not for custom-order tracking across a six-week manufacturer lead time.
Best for: 5–15 technician residential door and opener repair shops where marketing runs on online booking and Google reviews. On pure homeowner-facing polish it is ahead of QuoteIQ, and if that is your entire competitive edge, buy it.
The emergency-call specialist — a real phone system inside the platform for broken-spring dispatch.
Workiz lists Kickstart at $225/mo, Standard at $275/mo, and Pro at $325/mo on its pricing page, with Ultimate available by quote. A free Lite tier exists but caps you at 20 jobs, invoices, and estimates monthly, which makes it an evaluation sandbox rather than an operating plan. TrustRadius reports additional seats at roughly $30 each; ITQlick’s compilation puts extra-user pricing higher, so confirm your seat count before signing.
The differentiator is the built-in business phone system, and for a door company it matters more than it does in most trades. A garage door that will not close at 9 PM is a call that goes to whoever answers first. Workiz logs every call against the job record, and Genius Answering handles after-hours calls, books the job, and updates the calendar. The garage door build is one of Workiz’s flagship verticals, alongside locksmith and junk removal.
The cost structure is where it gets uncomfortable. The phone system is reported around $100/mo and the AI answering service around $200/mo, both separate from the subscription. A Kickstart shop running both is realistically near $525/mo before extra seats. Capterra reviewers have written pointed complaints about add-on cost and SMS credit limits, and the help center is the place to verify what your tier actually includes. G2 reviews tell a similar story on pricing opacity.
Best for: Overhead and garage door shops where emergency repair calls drive most revenue and a missed 9 PM phone call is a lost job. Workiz beats QuoteIQ on integrated telephony, and if your business is 70% emergency service, that is the feature that pays.

Saying it again because it matters: I am the Co-Founder of QuoteIQ, so this section is an argument, not a verdict. Here is the argument in numbers. A door shop with five people on QuoteIQ Pro pays $149.99/mo flat. The same five people on Jobber Connect Team pay $169/mo, and that tier has no native photo documentation, no satellite measurement, and review automation only through the Marketing Suite at $79/mo. On Housecall Pro Essentials it is $189/mo for five, still without measurement or AI estimating.
Rebuild the QuoteIQ feature set on either platform and you are adding a photo-documentation subscription, a measurement tool, and a review service. Those three commonly total $150–$250 monthly on their own. That is the structural case: not that the competitors are bad software, but that the bundle boundary sits in a different place, and for a door shop under fifteen people that boundary is worth $2,400–$4,200 over twelve months.
The trade-specific fit is the second half. Custom door orders live in a pipeline stage rather than a service queue, so pipelines and deals track a job from measure through order, delivery, and install. MapMeasure Pro handles satellite measurement for the exterior scope that often rides along with a door job. In-app texting keeps the lead-time conversation inside the job record, employee management tracks crew hours against each install, and business analytics shows which door category actually carries your margin.
QuoteIQ carries a 4.7-star average across 4,103 App Store and Google Play reviews from more than 40,000 daily active users across 50+ trades. Three of those reviews, verbatim:
If you want to test the argument rather than take it from me, the 14-day free trial runs the full feature set with no contract and no implementation fee.
Pull last year’s job list and sort it. If more than half your revenue comes from custom entry, patio, or overhead door orders with a manufacturer lead time, you need pipeline-style tracking and deposit-then-balance invoicing. If more than half is broken springs, dead openers, and off-track doors, you need dispatch speed and call capture. Most shops are 60/40 one way or the other, and that ratio should decide your shortlist before you look at a single feature grid.
This is where quotes go wrong. Count installers, helpers, the office person, and yourself — then add the two seasonal helpers you hire in spring. On a per-seat platform, a ten-person door company at $29–$35 per extra seat pays $150–$210 monthly on top of the tier. On a flat-tier platform that number is zero. Run the arithmetic at your peak headcount, not your winter headcount, because peak is when the bill actually arrives.
Take the platform’s base tier and write down what is missing: photo documentation, measurement, review automation, a proposal tool, a phone system. Price each gap at its real published rate. A photo app runs $79/mo minimum for three users, a review service $50–$100/mo, an AI answering service $99–$200/mo. Add those to the subscription and compare totals. The advertised price is almost never the operating price, and the gap is usually 30–50%.
Do not evaluate on a demo dataset. Take a live job — a 16×7 insulated steel overhead door with a new opener, or a fiberglass entry with sidelights — and build the quote inside each trial. Time it. Check whether you can present good/better/best tiers on the spot, attach photos of the opening, and capture a signature and a deposit before you leave the driveway. The platform that gets you from measurement to signed estimate fastest is the one that will raise your close rate.
Check three things: minimum term, implementation fee, and data export. Enterprise platforms commonly require a 12-month minimum and charge $5,000–$50,000 to implement, and multiple contractors have documented difficulty exporting their own records after cancellation. Month-to-month with a clean export path is worth real money in optionality. If a vendor will not put the cancellation and export terms in writing before you sign, that is your answer.
My pick is QuoteIQ, and you should know I co-founded it. For a 1–15 technician door shop it starts at $29.99/mo and bundles AI estimating, satellite measurement, photo documentation, invoicing, and review automation with no per-user fees. ServiceTitan is the honest answer for 20+ technician overhead door operations with dedicated dispatch staff, at a reported $245–$398 per technician monthly.
Jobber at $39/mo has the cleanest quoting flow for solo installers, Housecall Pro at $79/mo has the best homeowner booking experience, and Workiz at $225/mo owns emergency-call capture with its built-in phone system.
Standard month-to-month pricing for door installation software runs from $29.99/mo at the low end to roughly $400 per technician monthly at the enterprise end. QuoteIQ tiers are $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 monthly with no per-seat charges. Jobber runs $39 to $599/mo with $29 per extra user. Housecall Pro runs $79 to $329/mo with $35 per extra user on MAX. Workiz paid tiers start at $225/mo. ServiceTitan does not publish pricing; third-party sources including ITQlick report $245–$398 per technician monthly plus a $5,000–$50,000 implementation fee.
For most small door shops, no. ServiceTitan’s reported $245–$398 per technician monthly means a six-installer company pays roughly $1,470–$2,388 monthly before add-on modules, on top of a reported $5,000–$50,000 implementation fee and a 12-month minimum term. The platform is genuinely excellent, but the reporting depth, capacity planning, and marketing attribution that justify the price only pay off at 20+ technicians with dedicated office staff. Below that headcount you are buying infrastructure you will not staff. Read the pricing page and ask directly about module costs before the demo.
Adoption splits by company size. Directory data from Capterra and Software Advice consistently surfaces Workiz, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Housecall Pro, and Jobber as the platforms garage door companies evaluate most, with ServiceTitan dominating the multi-branch enterprise tier and legacy dealer ERP systems still running in older overhead door dealerships. QuoteIQ is the newer entrant in the 1–15 technician segment. The pattern across every directory is the same: no single platform holds majority share, because the trade itself is fragmented across 6,432 U.S. businesses.
Track them as pipeline stages, not as scheduled jobs. A custom entry or overhead door order moves through measure, order placed, manufacturer confirmation, delivery, inspection, and install — typically a three-to-eight-week span. Software built purely around same-day service calls will park that job in a queue where it goes stale.
Look for deal or pipeline stages you can rename, an automated customer-facing status portal so your office stops fielding “where is my door” calls, and deposit-then-balance invoicing so the balance reminder fires when the install is marked complete rather than at order time.
Export first, then run parallel for two weeks. Pull your client list, job history, and open invoices out of the current platform before you cancel anything — both Jobber and Housecall Pro document CSV export in their help centers. Import into the new platform during a free trial, then run both systems side by side for two weeks with new jobs going into the new tool and open jobs finishing in the old one. Cancel only after the last open invoice from the old system is paid.
Budget one slow week; the trade’s slow season is your migration window.
Most platforms handle it through inspection forms and photo attachments rather than a purpose-built compliance module. What you need is a repeatable checklist attached to the job record: photo-eye placement, force-setting test results, spring rating, and the operator model and serial. DASMA publishes the technical data sheets and the CPSC enforces the federal operator standard, so that record is your protection in a claim.
QuoteIQ handles it with inspection forms plus timestamped QuoteIQ Cam photos; ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro both support custom job forms that do the same work.

Methodology: every price in this guide is the vendor’s published standard month-to-month rate, checked against the vendor’s own pricing page in July 2026. Where a vendor does not publish pricing — ServiceTitan is the only one here — the figure is labeled reported and sourced to third-party compilations. Discounted longer-term rates are deliberately excluded, because the number you should budget against is the one you pay in month one.
Competitor weaknesses are drawn from documented review patterns on G2 and Capterra and from vendors’ own published pricing and help documentation, not from opinion.

Door installation is a custom-order business with a same-day-service business bolted to it, and the platform you pick should hold both halves without charging you again for every installer you hire. My pick is QuoteIQ at $29.99–$699/mo flat, and I co-founded it — judge the argument on the bundle math, not on my say-so.
If you run 20+ technicians across branches, ServiceTitan earns its reported $245–$398 per technician. If you are one person and a trailer, Jobber Core at $39/mo is hard to beat. If online booking and Google reviews are your marketing, Housecall Pro at $79–$329/mo is the polish play. If emergency calls are the business, Workiz at $225/mo and its built-in phone system will pay for itself. Pick the one that matches your revenue split, then run the free trial on a real door job before you sign anything.
