Quoting software that handles tiered hearth pricing, satellite chimney measurement, and high-ticket masonry jobs without a per-user penalty.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For fireplace installation businesses quoting everything from a $2,800 electric insert to an $18,500 masonry build, QuoteIQ is my pick at $29.99–$699/mo (no per-user fees), because it bundles tiered Options Estimates, satellite chimney measurement via MapMeasure Pro, and hearth component inventory into every plan. ServiceTitan ($245–$398/technician/month, reported) is the enterprise benchmark for 20+ tech chimney and hearth operations. Housecall Pro ($79–$329/mo) is a solid general-purpose scheduler once you’re past its single-user Basic tier. Jobber ($49–$499/mo) has the most transparent published pricing of the bunch but needs a CompanyCam add-on for real photo documentation. LOU by Evosus ($79–$99/mo per license plus a $1,999–$4,999 one-time sign-up fee) is the only true hearth-industry specialist here, built specifically for pool, spa, and fireplace retailers running a showroom. Every price below is the standard month-to-month rate, verified this build.
QuoteIQ wins for most 1–20 tech fireplace installation crews because it puts tiered hearth pricing, satellite pre-visit measurement, and per-install job costing into one flat-tier plan starting at $29.99/mo — no per-user fees, no add-on stack.
The honest editorial truth: most fireplace and hearth contractors evaluating ServiceTitan are paying enterprise-technician pricing for multi-location franchise tooling they will never fully use at 3–8 trucks. The right tool for that size shop is the one that bundles the essentials without per-seat math.
If your business is a true hearth retailer running a showroom floor alongside install crews, LOU by Evosus deserves a serious look — it is the one platform on this list actually built around retail POS for pool, spa, and fireplace products, not just field service.

QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it with Justin Rogers in 2022 — so it’s ranked #1 here, and this is my pick, not a blind third-party score. I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
What I can do is show you the structural case: QuoteIQ bundles tiered Options Estimates, satellite MapMeasure Pro measurement, hearth inventory tracking, and per-install job costing into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees, where every competitor on this list either charges per seat, per technician, or requires a paid add-on to match that feature set.
The criteria: does the platform support tiered pricing on a single estimate, does it measure a property before the truck rolls, does it track hearth-specific components, and what does it actually cost per month at the tier a 1–10 tech fireplace business needs. Pricing comes from each vendor’s own pricing page where published; ServiceTitan’s is reported from G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius because the company does not publish it. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
My company. Flat-tier CRM built to quote a $2,800 electric insert and an $18,500 masonry build on the same tiered estimate.
QuoteIQ is the CRM I built with Justin Rogers after running service businesses ourselves, and for fireplace installation work its Options Estimates feature is the single biggest differentiator: present an electric insert, a direct-vent gas unit, and a full masonry build side by side on one proposal, and let the homeowner pick a tier instead of negotiating a single number. MapMeasure Pro pulls satellite imagery to confirm chimney height and clearances before the truck leaves the shop.
Inventory tracking follows gas logs, vent pipe, chimney liners, and mantels across the warehouse and every install truck, and AI Estimator turns a photo and a job description into a priced estimate in under 30 seconds. QuoteIQ Cam timestamps and geo-tags every install photo for warranty and insurance disputes, and ClientHub keeps every text thread with a builder or homeowner inside the same customer record.
Best for: fireplace installation businesses with 1–20 technicians selling a mix of electric, gas, and masonry jobs who want tiered pricing and satellite measurement without paying enterprise software prices. If you run a hearth showroom with retail POS as the primary revenue line, see LOU by Evosus below.
The enterprise benchmark — deep, powerful, and priced for chimney and hearth companies running 20-plus techs.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing on its pricing page — you book a sales demo to get a quote. Based on user reports across G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius, per-technician costs run $245 to $398 a month, plus a one-time implementation fee reported between $5,000 and $50,000 and a 12-month minimum contract. For a hearth company running five techs that alone is roughly $1,225 to $1,990 a month before add-on modules like Marketing Pro or Pricebook Pro.
Best for: enterprise hearth and chimney companies running 20-plus technicians across multiple locations who have the office staff to run a full-scale platform and the budget to absorb its setup costs.
A proven general-purpose scheduler and CRM once you’re past its single-user entry tier.
Housecall Pro runs three tiers on standard monthly billing: Basic at $79/mo for a single user, Essentials at $189/mo for up to five users, and MAX at $329/mo for larger teams. Basic excludes QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking, which pushes most fireplace installation businesses straight to Essentials.
Per G2’s pricing data, the platform is well-reviewed for ease of use among small field service teams — its Capterra profile shows strong marks on customer service — though tiered good/better/best hearth pricing and satellite measurement both require paid third-party add-ons.
Best for: fireplace installation businesses that primarily handle service calls and single-day insert swaps rather than complex tiered masonry proposals, and don’t need satellite pre-visit measurement.
The most transparent published pricing on this list, with a polished mobile app and CRM.
Jobber’s own pricing page lists standard monthly rates of $49/mo for Core (1 user), $139/mo for Connect (1 user), and $199/mo for Grow (1 user), with the 5-user Plus plan at $499/mo; additional users run $29/mo each on every tier. Jobber’s client manager (CRM) and quoting tools are genuinely easy to use, and its Capterra pricing profile confirms the published rates, but none of the tiers include tiered good/better/best hearth pricing, satellite measurement, or job-site photo documentation without adding a third-party tool like CompanyCam on top.
Best for: solo fireplace installers or very small crews who want the most straightforward published pricing and a clean mobile experience, and don’t need tiered hearth-specific proposals.
The only true hearth-industry specialist here — built for pool, spa, and fireplace retailers, not generic field service.
LOU by Evosus was built specifically for the pool, spa, hearth, and billiard retail industry, using 20 years of Evosus’s experience in that niche. Per its published pricing page, the Retail + Service bundle runs $79/mo per license on the 10-license Pro tier or $99/mo per license on the unlimited Enterprise tier, layered on top of a one-time sign-up fee of $1,999 (Pro) or $4,999 (Enterprise).
“Dynamic Kits” let a hearth retailer bundle a fireplace, venting, and accessories into one priced package — genuinely useful for showroom sales, though it is licensed and priced per user rather than as a flat monthly tier. Reviewers on its G2 profile confirm the modular Retail/Service bundle structure.
Best for: hearth businesses that operate a retail showroom alongside installation crews and need combined POS, inventory, and service scheduling — not lean install-only operations chasing the lowest monthly cost.
| CRM | Tiered Pricing | Satellite Measurement | Hearth Inventory | Job Costing | AI Estimating | Per-User Fees | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | None | $29.99/mo |
| ServiceTitan | Add-on | No | Partial | Yes | No | Per tech | $245/tech (reported) |
| Housecall Pro | No | No | No | MAX only | No | Above cap | $79/mo |
| Jobber | No | No | No | Grow+ | Basic drafts | $29/mo/user | $49/mo |
| LOU by Evosus | Kits | No | Yes | Partial | No | Per license | $79/mo/license |
Run the math on a two-crew fireplace installation business quoting a mix of $3,500 gas inserts and $16,000 masonry builds. On QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/mo, Options Estimates present all three tiers on one proposal at no extra cost. Matching that on Jobber means Grow at $199/mo plus a CompanyCam subscription for photo documentation, pushing the real cost past $278/mo before you’ve added any satellite measurement. On Housecall Pro, MAX plus a separate measurement tool and inventory add-on lands well over $400/mo.
ServiceTitan’s reported per-technician pricing puts the same two-crew shop at $1,225 to $1,990 a month in software fees alone, before the 12-month contract and implementation fee.
Count how many of your jobs are simple insert swaps versus full masonry builds. A business that’s mostly $2,500–$4,000 gas insert replacements has different software needs than one selling $15,000+ custom hearths — the latter needs real tiered pricing presentation, not a single-number quote.
Add up the base plan plus every add-on you’d actually need — photo documentation, satellite measurement, inventory tracking — before comparing platforms. A $79/mo entry tier that needs three add-ons to match a $149.99/mo flat-tier competitor is not actually cheaper.
Per-technician and per-license pricing models look affordable at one or two seats and get expensive fast as you add installers, sales consultants, and office staff. Run the math at your projected headcount 12 months out, not just today.
Fireplace work touches NFPA 211 clearances, permit records, and manufacturer install instructions. Make sure the platform lets you attach and timestamp that documentation directly to the job record, not in a separate system you’ll forget to update.
Every platform on this list offers some form of free trial. Build one real tiered estimate, schedule one real install, and send one real invoice before committing — the workflow friction shows up fast when you use it on an actual job instead of a demo.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for most fireplace installation businesses in 2026 — that’s my openly-disclosed pick as its Co-Founder. It bundles tiered Options Estimates, satellite chimney measurement through MapMeasure Pro, hearth component inventory, and per-install job costing into flat monthly tiers starting at $29.99/mo with no per-user fees. ServiceTitan is the better fit for enterprise chimney and hearth operations running 20-plus techs across multiple locations, and LOU by Evosus is worth a look if your business runs a retail hearth showroom alongside installation.
Housecall Pro and Jobber are solid general-purpose alternatives if you want proven scheduling and invoicing without hearth-specific tiered pricing.
Fireplace installation CRM pricing in 2026 ranges from about $29.99/mo to well over $1,000/mo depending on the platform and crew size. QuoteIQ runs $29.99 to $699/mo flat, with no per-user fees at any tier. Jobber runs $49 to $499/mo on published monthly pricing, with $29/mo per additional user beyond the included seats. Housecall Pro runs $79 to $329/mo standard monthly. LOU by Evosus charges $79 to $99/mo per license plus a $1,999 to $4,999 one-time sign-up fee.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing, but is reported at $245 to $398 per technician per month plus a $5,000 to $50,000 implementation fee.
For most fireplace installation businesses under 15 technicians, ServiceTitan is not worth it. Its reported per-technician pricing of $245 to $398 a month scales directly with headcount, plus a reported implementation fee of $5,000 to $50,000 and a mandatory 12-month contract. That model makes sense for enterprise chimney and hearth companies running multiple locations under one brand with dedicated office staff to run the platform, but a 3–8 truck installation shop typically pays for capability it will never use at that scale.
A flat-tier platform like QuoteIQ or a transparent per-seat platform like Jobber usually delivers a lower real monthly cost at that size.
There is no single dominant CRM built exclusively for fireplace installation — most contractors currently use general field service platforms like Jobber and Housecall Pro, hearth-industry retail software like LOU by Evosus, or increasingly a flat-tier all-in-one like QuoteIQ that adds tiered hearth pricing and satellite measurement without the per-user math. Larger multi-location hearth and chimney companies more often run ServiceTitan, and Housecall Pro remains one of the more widely adopted general home-service platforms overall.
The right choice depends heavily on whether your business is retail-showroom-driven, install-crew-driven, or a mix of both.
Switching from Jobber to QuoteIQ starts with exporting your customer list, active jobs, and price book from Jobber, then importing that data during QuoteIQ’s onboarding — most fireplace installation businesses complete the migration during the 14-day free trial before committing to a paid plan. Because QuoteIQ has no per-user fees, you can add your full crew during the trial without extra cost, unlike a platform where every added seat increases the bill.
Run your next few real estimates and invoices in QuoteIQ alongside Jobber for a week to confirm the workflow fits before canceling your Jobber subscription.
LOU by Evosus can work for install-only fireplace companies, but it’s built around a retail-plus-service model, and its per-license pricing plus $1,999 to $4,999 sign-up fee makes it a heavier commitment than a business needs if it never sells off a showroom floor. Companies without a retail component typically get more value from a flat-tier, install-focused platform like QuoteIQ, or a general field service CRM like Jobber or Housecall Pro, all of which avoid LOU’s one-time sign-up cost entirely.
Yes, on QuoteIQ, using Options Estimates you can present an electric insert, a direct-vent gas fireplace, and a full masonry build as three priced tiers on a single proposal, letting the homeowner choose their investment level without a follow-up quote. LOU by Evosus offers something similar through Dynamic Kits for bundling components, though it’s licensed per user rather than flat-tier.
Jobber and Housecall Pro do not offer native tiered pricing presentation on their published plans — you’d need to build separate quotes or use a workaround to show good/better/best options.
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.

If you run a fireplace installation business quoting a mix of electric inserts, direct-vent gas units, and full masonry builds, QuoteIQ is my pick — full disclosure, it’s my company — because it puts tiered pricing, satellite measurement, and hearth inventory into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees. If you’re running 20-plus techs across multiple locations, ServiceTitan’s depth is worth its enterprise price. If your business runs a hearth retail showroom, give LOU by Evosus a serious look.
Jobber and Housecall Pro remain solid, well-reviewed general-purpose choices if hearth-specific tiered pricing isn’t a priority for you.
