EDEN doesn't publish their pricing anywhere. To learn what it costs, you have to schedule a demo and go through a sales process. That's their choice — but it makes it hard to compare apples to apples.
DinoQuote publishes pricing on our website because we believe in the same transparency we help contractors offer their customers. If we're telling you to put pricing on your website, we should do the same.
DinoQuote Core: $499/mo. Pro: $599/mo. Max: $1,999/mo. Setup: $1,600. No transaction fees. No per-lead charges. No contracts.
EDEN is a quoting tool — and a good one. But quoting is just one piece of growing an HVAC business online. DinoQuote gives you the quoting tool AND a branded filter store, QR code stickers for recurring revenue, a lead dashboard, and full-service marketing on the Max plan. You get the whole toolbox, not just one wrench.
With DinoQuote, you know exactly what you're paying before you ever talk to us. No surprise fees, no hidden costs discovered after a sales call. Your monthly price is your monthly price — and it doesn't go up based on how many leads you get or how many filters you sell.
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 raise millions from venture capitalists and hire a team to guess what contractors need — he built what he needed himself, then made it available to everyone. That's a fundamentally different approach than a VC-backed startup optimizing for investor returns.
EDEN's standout feature is their AI-powered instant heat load calculation. Using property data from a database of over 500,000 homes, EDEN can estimate a home's heating and cooling needs just from the address — no manual J calculation needed. This is a strong feature for contractors who want automated sizing built into their online quoting process.
EDEN automatically pulls in federal, state, local, and utility rebates and tax credits and shows them to the homeowner as part of the quote. This helps sell high-efficiency systems like heat pumps by showing the real after-incentive cost. It's a useful feature for contractors focused on the energy efficiency and electrification market.
