FloorIQ vs MeasureSquare

FloorIQ is web-based estimating, quoting, purchasing, and job-management software for commercial flooring contractors. Its workflow covers bids, quotes, purchase orders, warehouse inventory, crew scheduling, invoicing, payroll, and job profitability. Estimates use material-cost and labor-rate libraries, live margins, revisions, branded PDF proposals, and online signatures. Takeoff exports in.xlsx,.xls, or.csv format, including MeasureSquare exports, can be converted into takeoff line items. Purchasing includes order acknowledgements, price-variance tracking, roll and lot tracking, barcode cycle counts, delivery tickets, and reorder suggestions. Crew days connect to required purchase orders, and delivery-date changes flag affected scheduled days. Weekly payroll handles regular, overtime, double-time, classifications, weekly-salary employees, printable paystubs, and exports. FloorIQ exports financial and payroll data as CSV for QuickBooks posting, but has no live two-way sync. The free plan allows five projects with no time limit; Pro costs $500 a month per company for up to 10 users.

MeasureSquare provides estimating and project-management software for flooring, countertops, stone, and specialty trades. MeasureSquare 8 handles flooring takeoffs and estimates, including measurements, material and labor calculations, and proposals. Its Commercial edition adds AI takeoff and a plan analyzer that can summarize, extract information from, and support chat about blueprints. MeasureSquare Mobile offers laser-device measurement, onsite proposals, tile-texture rendering, and cloud sync; its Multi-family plan imports up to five floor-plan pages for takeoff. Stone Commercial imports PDF, CAD, and image plans for slab layout optimization, virtual dry lays, and shop drawings. CRM connections include MeasureSquare takeoff products, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gmail, and Outlook, while a REST-based Cloud API connects estimation data and project records. Mobile Retail and MeasureSquare 8 Retail are each listed at $54 a month for one user. A free plan and free trial are also listed. The company says one-license subscriptions include 5GB of job-file storage; cancellation does not refund the current billing period.
