QuoteIQ is home service software for 50+ trades, fence installation among them, with estimates, invoices, scheduling and online payments from $29.99/mo on its Essentials plan, and higher plans that add satellite measuring, e-signatures, QuickBooks and a website quote widget. Visual Fence Pro is built only for fence contractors: you draw the fence on a satellite map with the property lines loaded, and it builds a component-level material list from 75 fence-style specifications, with a free plan and paid plans at $79 / $179 / $299 a month. Every statement about QuoteIQ on this page comes from QuoteIQ's own website, checked October 6, 2026.
Fence contractors shopping for estimating software in 2026 may come across both QuoteIQ and Visual Fence Pro. QuoteIQ serves many home service trades from one platform; Visual Fence Pro does one trade, fencing.

Where QuoteIQ Stands Out
From QuoteIQ's own description, here is where it offers something different.
A Low Entry Price
Its Essentials plan is $29.99 a month for one user, with estimates, invoices, scheduling and online payments.
AI Phone Answering
Its "AI Virtual Call Team" answers calls 24/7, qualifies leads and records calls, on every plan. Visual Fence Pro does not answer your phone.
Many Trades in One Tool
QuoteIQ serves "50+ industries", so a company that also does other home services can run them in the same system.
Business Tools on Higher Plans
Job costing, email and text automation, route optimization, pipelines and inventory, and campaigns, depending on the plan.
Where Visual Fence Pro Stands Out
Visual Fence Pro is built around one trade. Here is what that gives a fence contractor.
75 Built-In Fence Specifications
Visual Fence Pro includes 75 pre-configured fence style specifications across 5 categories: wood, vinyl, iron/aluminum, chain link, and composite. Each spec defines board sizes, post dimensions, rail counts, footing requirements, and fastener types. From the fence you draw, it counts the posts by role (line, corner, end, gate), the rails, the boards or pickets, the fasteners and the concrete, using real lumber sizes (a 1x6 board counted at its true 5.5-inch width).
Property Lines on the Map
When you look up an address, Visual Fence Pro loads the property lines from 650+ county and state parcel sources, so you draw the fence where the lot actually is.
A Free Plan
Start with no credit card and no time limit: 10 estimates and 5 quotes a month, map estimating, e-signatures and the AI Fence Visualizer included.
Showing the Customer Their Fence
The AI Fence Visualizer puts the new fence in a photo of the customer's yard, and the customer's quote can include an interactive 3D model of many fence styles, both on every plan.
Interactive Demo
Visual Fence Pro's homepage has an interactive satellite map demo that anyone can try without signing up: click the property lines, drag the handles, and watch the footage and an example price add up (on a computer, add gates too).
A Website Estimator Button from Starter
Contractors can put a button on their own website that opens their Visual Fence Pro estimator, priced from their own products, letting homeowners start a fence estimate directly. It comes with the Starter plan.
How Each One Prices a Fence Job
QuoteIQ describes fence quotes built "with per-linear-foot, per-panel, or per-project pricing", with "Separate line items for posts, panels, concrete, hardware, and labor", and says its MapMeasure Pro measures fence lines from satellite imagery and fills the quantity on the estimate. You set up your own price book and services.
Visual Fence Pro starts from the fence you draw: each run gets a style and height, and the material list is counted from that style's specification, post by post and rail by rail. You set your own prices and material costs for each product, and a product can also carry a single per-foot price when you want a quick estimate.
The difference to test is how each one handles the jobs that do not price neatly by the foot: several corners, two heights on one job, gates. Run the same real job through both and compare the material list each one gives you.
Try it yourself
Try the interactive demo on our homepage — click the property lines on a satellite map and watch the footage and an example price add up. No signup required.
