The CRM and field service platforms built for quoting, scheduling, and invoicing under cabinet lighting installs — compared on real, standard monthly pricing.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For under cabinet lighting installers and low-voltage lighting contractors sizing up a CRM in 2026, here’s the complete field: QuoteIQ ($29.99–$699/mo, no per-user fees) is my pick because it bundles satellite property measurement, AI-generated estimates, and automated review requests into one flat-tier platform built for solo installers through 10-15 person crews. Jobber ($49–$499/mo) has the cleanest client-facing quote-and-pay portal on this list but charges $29/mo for every added user. Housecall Pro ($79–$329/mo) pairs deep QuickBooks sync with built-in marketing once you’re on Essentials or higher. FieldEdge (reported $100–$125/user/month, quote-only) has the deepest QuickBooks Desktop integration for shops that already run their books that way. FieldPulse (reported $99–$399/mo, quote-only) offers the most customizable job workflows for multi-visit installs. ServiceTitan (reported $245–$500/technician/month, quote-only, plus $5,000–$50,000+ implementation) is the enterprise pick for multi-crew electrical and lighting operations running $5M+ a year. Every price above is the standard month-to-month rate — never a discounted annual figure.
TL;DR: QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro cover the vast majority of solo-to-10-person under cabinet lighting operations at published flat or low per-user rates. FieldEdge and FieldPulse fit shops already anchored to QuickBooks Desktop or needing heavily custom multi-visit workflows, but neither publishes pricing. ServiceTitan belongs on this list only because installers ask about it — it’s built for 20+ technician electrical and HVAC operations, not a lighting install crew.
The honest editorial truth: most under cabinet lighting contractors who request a ServiceTitan demo are shopping a platform engineered for multi-truck HVAC and plumbing dispatch complexity they will never use at a 1–5 person lighting install scale — and they end up quoted per-technician enterprise pricing for it anyway.

QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it with Justin Rogers in 2022 — so this is my openly-disclosed pick, not a neutral score from an evaluation that never happened. The case for it is structural: QuoteIQ bundles satellite property measurement, AI-generated estimates, and automated review collection into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees, where Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, and FieldPulse either charge per seat or gate those tools behind add-ons and higher tiers.
I built this ranking from each vendor’s published pricing page where one exists, third-party pricing trackers (G2, Capterra, ITQlick, Tekpon, Software Advice) where it doesn’t, and 25+ years running my own home service and specialty contracting businesses. Every competitor gets real, sourced pros and cons — including the segments where a competitor genuinely beats QuoteIQ. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
My pick — flat-tier CRM built for how lighting installers actually quote and run jobs
QuoteIQ is my pick for under cabinet lighting contractors because it was built for exactly this kind of estimating problem: pricing a job by fixture count, transformer size, and linear feet of cabinet run, then getting a signed estimate before you’ve left the driveway.
MapMeasure Pro pulls satellite and property imagery so you can rough out cabinet footage remotely, and the AI Estimator turns a job-site photo into a priced, line-itemized quote in minutes — useful when a homeowner calls about a kitchen refresh and wants a number the same day.
Every plan runs flat and monthly — Essentials at $29.99/mo for solo installers up to Elite at $299/mo and Max at $699/mo for larger multi-crew shops — with no per-user fee stacking your bill as you hire. QuoteIQ Cam timestamps before/after photos on every job, Review Multiplier automates the Google review ask after each paid invoice, and ClientHub gives customers a self-serve portal to approve estimates and pay online.
Best for: Solo under cabinet lighting installers through 10–15 person crews who want satellite measurement, AI estimating, and review automation bundled into one flat-rate platform instead of stitched together from three or four separate tools.
The cleanest client-facing quote-and-pay experience, at a per-user price
Jobber is the platform most under cabinet lighting installers already know from word of mouth, and it earns that reputation. Core starts at $49/mo for a single user with quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and online payments; Client Hub lets a homeowner approve a lighting estimate and pay the deposit without a phone call. Connect ($139/mo) adds QuickBooks Online sync and two-way texting, and Grow ($199/mo) adds job costing and quote customization with photos and reviews.
The catch is the per-user math: every plan includes one user, and additional seats run $29/mo each on top of the base tier, so a two-installer crew on Grow lands closer to $228/mo before tax. Jobber’s AI Receptionist ($29/mo) and Marketing Suite ($79/mo) are separate add-ons rather than bundled tools, and there’s no satellite or aerial measurement feature for quoting a cabinet run remotely. Jobber publishes a dedicated electrical contractor page that covers panel and fixture work broadly, though nothing lighting-specific.
Best for: Solo installers and small crews who prioritize the most polished client-facing quote-and-pay experience over flat pricing, and don’t mind paying per seat as the team grows.
Deep QuickBooks sync and built-in marketing once you clear the Basic tier
Housecall Pro’s Basic plan runs $79/mo for a single user and covers scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing — but it excludes QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking, two things most under cabinet lighting shops with even one employee end up needing. That pushes most operators to Essentials at $189/mo (up to 5 users), which unlocks QuickBooks integration, GPS and time tracking, and marketing automation tools.
MAX at $329/mo (up to 8 users) bundles the add-ons that cost extra on lower tiers — Sales Proposals, Vehicle GPS, and the Price Book — and adds open API access. Housecall Pro doesn’t require a long-term contract on any plan, which is a genuine advantage over ServiceTitan, but additional users past each plan’s included seat count cost $35/mo apiece. Independent reviewers on FieldCamp consistently rate the mobile app and dispatch board highly, with cost-creep from add-ons cited as the most common complaint.
Best for: Under cabinet lighting businesses of 3–8 people that lean heavily on QuickBooks for bookkeeping and want built-in marketing automation without adding a separate tool.
The deepest QuickBooks Desktop sync in the category, priced by quote
FieldEdge doesn’t publish pricing — third-party trackers including ITQlick and contractor review sites consistently report roughly $100/mo per office user and $125/mo per field technician, plus $500–$2,000 in setup fees and a multi-week onboarding period before go-live. What you get for that is real: the Coolfront flat-rate pricebook is one of the most mature in field service software, and FieldEdge’s two-way QuickBooks Desktop sync is deeper than any other platform on this list.
For an under cabinet lighting business that already runs its books through QuickBooks Desktop and wants that data flowing cleanly between the field and the office, FieldEdge is a legitimate fit. It’s a harder sell for a solo installer or two-person crew: there’s no published price on the FieldEdge pricing page, no self-serve trial, and no satellite or AI-based estimating tool built for remote lighting quotes. Independent reviews note the strongest customer-service scores in the category alongside the sales-quoted pricing.
Best for: Under cabinet lighting and electrical contractors already anchored to QuickBooks Desktop who want the deepest possible sync and are comfortable with quote-only pricing.
The most customizable job workflows for multi-visit installs, priced by quote
FieldPulse also skips published pricing in favor of a custom quote, but contractor-reported figures compiled by third-party pricing trackers put most small crews between $99/mo and $399/mo depending on team size and add-ons like VoIP and fleet tracking. Its standout feature for under cabinet lighting work is fully custom job workflows — genuinely useful when a job runs a rough-in visit, an install visit, and a punch-list visit as three separate stages instead of one linear job.
FieldPulse’s mobile app supports offline mode, which matters in basements and cabinet interiors with weak signal, though some users on Capterra report the offline mode occasionally loses data on reconnect. Like FieldEdge, there’s no satellite measurement or AI estimating tool, and every user seat adds to a quote-based bill you won’t see until you talk to sales. G2 reviewers rank it highly for ease of use and implementation speed among small field service teams.
Best for: Small under cabinet lighting crews (2–15 techs) running multi-stage jobs that need heavily customized forms and workflows more than flat pricing.
Enterprise dispatch and reporting for large multi-crew electrical operations
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing anywhere on its site. Based on G2 and Capterra user-reported figures, TrustRadius, and BBB filings, contractors report paying $245 to $500 per technician per month depending on plan tier, plus a $5,000–$50,000+ implementation fee and a standard 12-month minimum contract. Marketing Pro, Phones Pro, and Pricebook Pro — the modules that would let a lighting business run call tracking, VoIP, and flat-rate pricing — are separate paid add-ons on top of that base subscription.
ServiceTitan’s reporting depth, multi-location management, and membership/service-agreement tooling are genuinely the strongest in the category — for a 20+ technician electrical operation with dedicated office staff to run the platform. For a 1–10 person under cabinet lighting crew, it’s enterprise capability priced and contracted for a company several times your size. See the full list of ServiceTitan alternatives on Capterra for smaller-scale comparisons.
Best for: Large multi-crew electrical and lighting operations running $5M+ a year with dedicated office staff and a marketing budget to match the enterprise price tag.

The math is straightforward for a small under cabinet lighting crew: put a two-installer team on QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/mo and you have AI estimating, satellite measurement, and QuickBooks-adjacent job costing for one flat price. Put that same two-person team on Jobber Grow and you’re at $199/mo plus a $29/mo second seat — $228/mo — without satellite measurement or AI estimating at any price. On Housecall Pro Essentials, two users runs $189/mo, again without either tool.
The gap isn’t hypothetical; it’s what installers on QuoteIQ’s own review base describe.
Write down your real workflow: do you measure cabinet runs on-site with a tape measure, or could you quote most jobs remotely from a homeowner’s photos and a rough kitchen layout? If remote quoting would save you drive time on smaller jobs, satellite measurement and AI photo-based estimating (QuoteIQ) are worth real money. If every job needs a hands-on walkthrough anyway, that feature matters less and a cheaper generalist platform may be enough.
Per-user platforms look cheaper on the pricing page than they are in practice. Take your current headcount plus one hire you’re planning this year, and price out Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, and FieldPulse at that seat count — not the one-user starting price every review site leads with. Compare that real number against QuoteIQ’s flat tier that covers the same headcount before deciding on price alone.
If your bookkeeper works out of QuickBooks Desktop, FieldEdge’s two-way sync is a real differentiator worth its quote-only pricing. If you’re on QuickBooks Online or don’t have a dedicated bookkeeper yet, most platforms on this list — including QuoteIQ — sync cleanly enough that the deeper Desktop integration isn’t worth the added cost and onboarding time.
Under cabinet lighting work happens inside cabinets and against walls where signal can be weak. Every platform here offers a free trial or demo — use it to build one real estimate and one real invoice from your phone standing in a kitchen, not from your office desk. Offline reliability and how fast you can snap a photo and attach it to a job matter more day-to-day than any feature list.
Under cabinet lighting jobs frequently run in stages — an initial rough-in or wiring visit, a fixture install visit, and sometimes a punch-list callback. Confirm the CRM can track a single customer job across multiple scheduled visits with separate notes and photos per visit, rather than forcing you to close and reopen a job every time you’re back on-site.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for most under cabinet lighting contractors in 2026 — that’s my openly-disclosed pick as its Co-Founder. It bundles satellite property measurement, AI-generated estimates, job-photo documentation, and automated review requests into flat monthly tiers from $29.99/mo with no per-user fees. Jobber and Housecall Pro are strong generalist alternatives if you don’t need remote measurement or AI estimating and prefer a more established brand name.
Expect $29.99–$299/mo for a flat-rate platform covering a solo installer through a 10-person crew (QuoteIQ), $49–$228+/mo for a per-user platform depending on headcount (Jobber, Housecall Pro), or a quote-only figure reported at $99–$500+/mo depending on team size and modules for FieldPulse, FieldEdge, and ServiceTitan. All figures above are standard month-to-month pricing, not discounted annual rates.
For most under cabinet lighting operations under 10 people, no. ServiceTitan is reported at $245–$500 per technician per month plus $5,000–$50,000+ in implementation fees and a 12-month minimum contract — pricing and complexity built for 20+ technician electrical and HVAC operations with dedicated office staff. A 1–5 person lighting crew will pay enterprise rates for dispatch and reporting depth it will rarely use.
Among licensed electricians and low-voltage lighting installers, Jobber and Housecall Pro have the largest installed base as generalist field service platforms, while FieldEdge holds a strong position with electrical shops already anchored to QuickBooks Desktop. QuoteIQ, though a newer platform founded in 2022, has grown to 40,000+ daily active users across 50+ trades with a 4.7-star rating on 4,100+ App Store and Google Play reviews.
Yes, on platforms with satellite or AI photo-based estimating. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro pulls property imagery to rough out cabinet footage remotely, and the AI Estimator can generate a priced, line-itemized quote from job-site photos a homeowner texts you. Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, FieldPulse, and ServiceTitan don’t offer a comparable remote-measurement or AI-photo-estimating tool as of this writing.
Start your QuoteIQ 14-day free trial and export your customer list and job history as a CSV from Jobber or Housecall Pro’s settings menu, then import it into QuoteIQ’s ClientHub. Most solo-to-small-crew operators complete the switch inside a trial period, since neither invoicing history nor active jobs need to migrate perfectly — you can run new jobs in QuoteIQ while closing out old ones in the outgoing platform.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s Options Estimates feature lets you present Good/Better/Best tiers for a job — useful for upselling from a basic warm-white LED strip to a smart, app-controlled RGB system — and QuoteIQ Cam documents transformer placement and wiring at every install for dispute protection. QuoteIQ doesn’t require a specific trade license type to use; it’s built to serve any home service or specialty contractor, including low-voltage and licensed electrical installers.
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. Pricing was verified against each vendor’s published pricing page where one exists, and against third-party trackers (G2, Capterra, ITQlick) where it doesn’t, between July and August 2026. Read more about Mike and QuoteIQ on the About page.
If you’re running an under cabinet lighting business solo or with a small crew, QuoteIQ is my pick — and I own that bias openly as its Co-Founder. Flat monthly tiers from $29.99/mo, satellite measurement, AI estimating, and automated reviews solve the specific problems of quoting cabinet-run lighting jobs without stacking per-user fees as you hire. Jobber and Housecall Pro are credible alternatives if brand familiarity matters more to you than remote quoting tools. FieldEdge earns its place if your books already run through QuickBooks Desktop.
FieldPulse fits multi-stage jobs needing heavy customization. ServiceTitan only makes sense once you’re running multiple crews at real scale. Whichever you pick, verify current pricing directly with the vendor before you sign — software pricing changes often, and every number in this guide reflects standard monthly rates verified as of August 2026.
