AccuPrice vs Quantum for electrical contractors
AccuPrice and Quantum solve different problems for electrical contractors. Quantum is a full estimating suite built for large commercial bids — takeoffs, assemblies, and bid documents for project work. AccuPrice is a service pricing platform: a maintained price book of 1,400+ material items updated monthly, 1,400+ prebuilt assemblies, and flat rate tasks built from your own costs, synced into the CRM your service department already runs. If you bid commercial projects, you may need Quantum. If you run service trucks and need every technician quoting current, consistent prices, that's what AccuPrice does. Full comparison below.
Side by side
| AccuPrice | Quantum | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Service work: the residential and light commercial calls your trucks run every day. | Large commercial bids and project estimating. |
| The core job | Keep a price book current so every technician quotes the same, correct price on site. | Produce a bid: takeoffs, assemblies, and bid documents for project work. |
| Material pricing | 1,400+ individual material items, prices updated every month, your markup and sales tax applied. | See Quantum's site for how its material pricing is sourced and maintained. |
| Assemblies | 1,400+ prebuilt service assemblies — panel changes, conduit runs, circuits, device upgrades — that reprice themselves when material prices move. | Assemblies for project takeoffs, as described on Quantum's site. |
| Flat rate | Flat rate tasks built from your own material and labor costs, on the Flat Rate Pro plan. | Not a service flat rate product; we make no claim about flat rate features here. |
| Where the numbers go | Synced into QuickBooks Online and Jobber; exported by CSV into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Workiz, ServiceM8, Service Fusion, or any CRM that takes an import. | Into bid documents for the project. See Quantum's site for its integrations. |
| Pricing model | Priced per company, unlimited users on every plan. | See Quantum's site for its current pricing. |
Project estimating and service pricing are different jobs
A commercial bid is built once, for one project, from a takeoff. It has to be precise about quantities, and it has to produce documents the general contractor will accept. That is what an estimating suite is for, and a service price book is the wrong tool for it.
Service pricing is the opposite shape: the same panel change, the same circuit, the same receptacle upgrade, quoted hundreds of times by different technicians over the year. The problem there is not producing a document — it is keeping the numbers current and consistent. AccuPrice is built for that side: a maintained catalog of 1,400+ items updated monthly, 1,400+ prebuilt service assemblies, and flat rate tasks that reprice as material costs move, all feeding the CRM your service department already runs.
Running both
Shops that bid projects and run service trucks often need both: an estimating suite for the bids and a service price book for the trucks. AccuPrice does not try to replace the estimating side. See the electrical price book page for what the service side includes and plan details for what each tier covers.
