Common comparison questions.
PoweredQuip's Starter is $49/year — about $4/month. Markate's lowest tier starts around $14.99/mo and scales up from there. On the features you actually need for landscaping — built-in measurement, client websites, crew app — PoweredQuip's Starter tier already includes what Markate's paid plans don't offer at any tier.
No. To measure properties in Markate, you need a separate third-party tool. PoweredQuip includes polygon-based lawn measurement in every plan — draw the property line, get square footage, convert to a quote.
Yes. Export your clients and job history as CSV from Markate and import during PoweredQuip onboarding. We map fields automatically and flag any gaps.
Markate's Spanish support is limited. PoweredQuip has full Spanish parity across the entire app and website — useful for crews and clients who prefer Spanish.
