Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching your lawn care quoting to QuoteNest.

Why choose QuoteNest over QuoteIQ?

QuoteIQ is popular for exterior contractors who rely heavily on aerial satellite roof measurement tools. But if you already know your square footage or quote on-site from the driveway, paying $30–$50/month plus credit packs is an unnecessary recurring expense. QuoteNest gives you all the quoting power you need for $12/month with zero token limits.

Are there any credit limits or hidden fees in QuoteNest?

None. QuoteNest is $12/month flat. There are zero token purchases, zero credit meters, and zero hidden upsells. You can create and dispatch unlimited quotes and invoices every month.

How does QuoteNest help me close bids faster on-site?

QuoteNest is designed around the 'Driveway Quote' workflow: while sitting in your truck cab, you tap your service options, input square footage or room counts, and tap Send to WhatsApp. The customer receives a polished, professional quote before you pull away from the curb.

How do I price residential lawn mowing without undercharging?

Price based on square footage, obstacle complexity, and frequency. Standard 5,000–8,000 sq ft suburban lots typically range from $40–$60 per cut for weekly service. Bi-weekly cuts should always carry a 20–30% surcharge because taller grass takes longer to cut and causes more equipment wear. Always set a minimum call-out fee ($40–$45) so small yards remain profitable.

Should I quote lawn care per cut or monthly contract?

Offer both on your digital proposal. Present a per-cut rate ($50/cut) alongside a predictable flat monthly rate ($200/mo). Clients love fixed monthly billing because it fits their budget, and it gives you guaranteed predictable cash flow all season without chasing checks.
