Pricing & cost

Pricing ModelQuoteSoft (developed by ConstructConnect) uses a custom, quote-only pricing model. Pricing is not publicly published on its website and is tailored based on specific trade modules (e.g., QuoteSoft Pipe, QuoteSoft Duct, QuoteSoft Rep), number of user licenses/seats, and company requirements. ↗

Typical CostOfficial pricing is quote-only upon request. Third-party software directories cite varying baseline estimates: Software Advice lists a starting entry price of $1,295 (one-time license), while industry analyst site ITQlick estimates per-user licensing starting around $200 per user/month or $3,000 per license. ↗

Api Or Integration FeesQuoteSoft integrates with CAD/BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit) and accounting systems. Connecting to national supplier pricing databases (such as Harrison HPH CINX or Allpriser) requires separate, external subscriptions. ↗

Implementation CostQuoteSoft includes one year of unlimited phone training, technical support, and basic software setup with purchase. However, software database customization is required, and industry analyst ITQlick estimates total implementation, onboarding, and customization costs range from $5,000 to $20,000 for SMBs depending on deployment complexity. ↗

API & data access

Has Apifalse. QuoteSoft does not offer a public developer API (REST, GraphQL, or SOAP). ↗

Data Export OptionsQuoteSoft provides an integrated export module allowing users to output material takeoff and estimate data into Microsoft Excel (.XLS / over 20 customizable templates, including Final Estimate Summary), CSV, XML, Microsoft Access Database (.MDB), TXT, and DB file formats. It also supports direct job file import and export between QuoteSoft installations. ↗

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryAs of 2025–2026, QuoteSoft has essentially no native AI features. Developed by ConstructConnect, QuoteSoft is an on-premises desktop estimating and takeoff software for HVAC ductwork, piping, and plumbing contractors that relies on traditional database calculations, customizable tables, assemblies, and manual digital takeoff tools rather than native AI. While parent company ConstructConnect offers AI tools within its broader ecosystem (such as Takeoff Boost for On-Screen Takeoff and Ask Documents for Project Intelligence), these are separate solutions and not natively integrated into QuoteSoft. ↗

Ai DispatchQuoteSoft does not provide field dispatching, scheduling, or field service management functionality, and offers no AI-powered dispatching capabilities. ↗

Ai FinanceQuoteSoft does not offer native AI invoicing, AP/AR automation, or automated billing workflows; financial data is managed through manual data exports to third-party accounting applications. ↗

Ai Assistant Or McpQuoteSoft does not offer a native AI assistant, conversational copilot, AI call handling/CSR module, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. ↗

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsQuoteSoft connects to accounting systems including QuickBooks and Viewpoint Spectrum (formerly Dexter + Chaney Spectrum) via tools like Spectrum's Esti-Link module. It also supports data exchange with job-costing and general accounting software through file export options such as XML, CSV, MDB, and Excel templates. ↗

MarketplaceQuoteSoft does not have a public app marketplace or interactive partner directory. ConstructConnect highlights select supplier pricing databases (such as Harrison HPH CINX and Allpriser) and software integrations directly on its product literature. ↗

Unified Api SupportNeither construction-focused unified API providers (such as Agave API) nor multi-category unified API platforms (such as Merge.dev) currently support QuoteSoft. ↗

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollQuoteSoft is an estimating and takeoff software platform, not a payroll system. It does not natively produce WH-347 certified payroll reports or process payroll, though it allows estimators to input prevailing wage labor rates for bidding and exports estimate data to third-party construction payroll/accounting systems. ↗

Accounting MethodQuoteSoft is purely an estimating/takeoff solution and does not natively support general ledger accounting methods (neither cash nor accrual); financial accounting is handled via integrations with third-party construction accounting platforms. ↗

Wip Poc SupportQuoteSoft does not support WIP (work-in-progress) or percentage-of-completion accounting natively, as its scope is limited to estimating and takeoff; WIP and revenue recognition tracking are managed within connected third-party accounting packages. ↗

Implementation TimeOnboarding typically takes hours to a few days; QuoteSoft advertises that estimators can begin using the system after 4 hours of phone and online training, or via 2-day classroom sessions. ↗

Requires ImplementerNo; training and onboarding are provided directly by QuoteSoft / ConstructConnect (via online instruction or QuoteSoft Academy) without requiring a third-party VAR or external implementer. ↗

Adoption & market position

Market PositionQuoteSoft (originally developed by Quote Software, Inc., founded in 1991) is a trade-specific estimating software platform designed for U.S. and Canadian mechanical, plumbing, piping, and HVAC ductwork contractors. Its core products—QuoteSoft Duct and QuoteSoft Pipe—provide on-screen digital takeoffs, material/labor calculations, and BIM/CAD integrations with AutoCAD and Revit. In January 2018, Quote Software was acquired by ConstructConnect, a subsidiary of Roper Technologies (NYSE: ROP), as part of an aggregate $39 million preconstruction tool acquisition strategy alongside PlanSwift. ↗

Customer ScaleMore than 3,000 contractors across the United States and Canada use QuoteSoft for commercial, industrial, and specialty trade estimating. ↗

MomentumQuoteSoft is widely characterized as a legacy desktop-based estimating system. While parent company ConstructConnect actively maintains the software and has added incremental cloud features, the core platform remains an on-premises desktop application with separate licenses and databases required for Duct and Pipe workflows. Due to friction around local workstation installations, setup complexity, physical hardware key licensing, and shifting user preferences toward unified cloud solutions, many trade contractors treat QuoteSoft as a mature system that they either maintain for legacy workflows or gradually migrate away from in favor of modern cloud-hosted platforms. ↗
