What the prices do not tell you

PaintScout
Scheduling and job management are the Operations add-on, so a painter who wants both is on $218 a month billed monthly rather than $119. Onboarding packages are $999, $1,499 and $1,999 one off.
QuoteIQ
Each plan fixes the number of users, so a third person means moving from Beginner to Pro, $75 a month more. Yearly billing is paid up front and works out at two months free. AI features draw on the monthly IQ Credits, and processing fees and extra usage are billed on top.
