Flat-rate pricing wins jobs — homeowners want a firm number, not an hourly gamble. But the flat-rate pricebooks the trade runs on are built and priced for fleets: per-technician fees, required setup coaching, and a publisher's database you rent. QuoteIron hands one man a book he builds himself from 408 real job templates — his labor rate, his markup, his numbers — for $14 a month, flat, and it works offline.
408 JOB TEMPLATES · YOUR RATES DO THE PRICING · WORKS OFFLINE · $14/MO FLAT · NO PER-TECH FEES
The incumbents' pitch is a big, professionally maintained database of prices — genuinely useful if you want someone else's numbers kept current for you, and if you run enough trucks to justify per-tech pricing and an implementation coach. QuoteIron's bet is the opposite: the 408 templates carry the structure of each job — typical labor hours and mid-grade parts cost — and your rate and markup do the pricing. We never ship fake "market rates" we can't stand behind. It's your book, it lives on your device, and it exports whenever you want.
Figures below are from each vendor's own page where they publish one, and from third-party pricing trackers where they don't (labeled as such). Checked July 2026. Note the pattern: per-technician billing, required coaching, and — for ServiceTitan — no public price at all.
| Flat-rate book | Price | The catch for a solo shop | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIron | $14/mo flat | Build your OWN 408-job book; no per-tech fee, no coaching, no rented database. Offline. | — |
| Profit Rhino (SmartPrice) | $39–59/tech/mo | Per technician, and "Success Coaching & Implementation REQUIRED" per its own pricing page | profitrhino.com |
| Coolfront / FieldEdge Flat Rate | ~$1.65 per work order (or ~$129/mo/tech listed) | Fees scale with every job you write; it's the publisher's database, not your book | softwaresuggest.com |
| ServiceTitan Pricebook Pro | Add-on; price not published | A paid add-on on top of ServiceTitan (itself listed at ~$200–500+/tech/mo by third parties); you must contact sales | servicetitan.com |
| QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo | 2× the price; no build-your-own flat-rate book and no offline mode | myquoteiq.com |
Prices as of July 2026. Profit Rhino per-tech rates and the "coaching required" note are from its SmartPrice page (no dollar figure is published for the coaching). Coolfront/FieldEdge Flat Rate does not publish a price on its own site; the per-work-order and ~$129/mo/tech figures are from third-party trackers. ServiceTitan publishes no pricing and quotes each business individually; the ~$200–500+/tech/mo platform range is a third-party estimate.
The same engine that runs the app runs the free book builder. Set three numbers and the whole book prices itself — change one, the book follows.
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliance and garage-door repair, pressure washing, lawn care, handyman — 408 real residential job templates, the jobs you quote every week.
Your labor rate, your materials markup, your rounding. The whole book prices itself from your numbers in one second — no coach, no onboarding call.
Tap the jobs, hand over a firm price, send a branded PDF from your phone — in a basement, with no signal. One tap turns the quote into an invoice.
There's a real reason the incumbents exist — it's just usually not a one-man reason.
From you. The 408 templates carry the structure of each job — typical labor hours and mid-grade parts cost — and every number is editable. Your labor rate and materials markup do the pricing. We will never sell you "market rates" we can't stand behind.
For a big fleet, often yes — that's the honest case for Profit Rhino or Coolfront. Their database is deep and professionally maintained. The trade-off is that you're renting someone else's numbers at per-tech pricing, and the numbers may not match your market or your margins. QuoteIron gives you a fast starting structure and puts your real numbers in control, for a flat $14.
