Let's say you're on the entry-level plan, generating 40 leads/month and selling $3,000/month in filters and systems.
With Contractor Commerce (Core+):
$500/mo subscription + $800 in per-lead fees (40 × $20) + $90 in transaction fees (3% × $3,000) = $1,390/month
Plus $2,250 setup fee in month one.
With DinoQuote (Core):
$499/mo subscription. That's it. $499/month
Plus $1,600 setup fee in month one — $650 less than Contractor Commerce's setup.
Annual savings with DinoQuote: over $10,000/year
With DinoQuote, your monthly price is your monthly price. There are no transaction fees eating into your filter sales, no per-lead charges punishing you for actually getting results, and no surprise costs buried in the fine print. You pay your plan, we deliver the tools. The more successful you are, the more you keep. If you're searching for the best HVAC quoting software with predictable costs, this is what it looks like.
Most HVAC platforms hand you the tools and wish you luck. DinoQuote's Max plan includes a dedicated team managing your SEO, creating content for your brand, running your Google Ads, optimizing your Google Business Profile, and building custom landing pages. It's a full marketing department for less than what you'd pay a part-time marketing person.
This is something no other HVAC platform offers. DinoQuote creates custom branded stickers your techs leave on the furnace during every service call. The sticker shows the customer's filter size and a QR code that links directly to your filter store. Homeowners scan it months later when they need a new filter — and you get paid. Every home your team walks into becomes a long-term revenue source.
DinoQuote was founded by Adam Eells, an HVAC service technician and electrician who owns an HVAC and electrical company in Oregon City, Oregon. He didn't read about contractor problems in a market research report — he lives them every day. That's why DinoQuote works the way real contractors actually need it to.
Contractor Commerce has been around since 2018 and has over 500 contractors using their platform. They have a longer track record, more published case studies, and more customer testimonials. If you want a platform with years of proof behind it, they've been at this longer.
Contractor Commerce has rolled out AI features they call “Analyze and Infuse AI” across all plans. If AI-driven analytics and optimization is a priority for you today, they're currently ahead on that front. DinoQuote has AI features planned for the near future.
