FloorIQ vs Builder Prime
Builder Prime is a contractor CRM that covers every trade — remodeling, roofing, exteriors, flooring. FloorIQ only does flooring, which means the parts flooring people argue about (rolls and lots, mill purchase orders, schedule of values billing, crew days gated on a delivery) are first-class instead of a custom field.

Choose FloorIQ if
You bid commercial flooring through general contractors, you buy material by roll and lot, and you want the bid, the PO, the crew day and the margin on one job record — with a free tier you can test on five real jobs before paying anything.
Choose Builder Prime if
You run several trades under one roof, or flooring is one line of a broader remodeling business, and integrations with QuickBooks and CompanyCam plus a mature multi-trade CRM matter more to you than flooring-specific inventory and SOV billing.
What it costs
Builder Prime publishes $399/month plus a platform fee, with no free tier — you start with a demo. FloorIQ is $250/month per company for Pro (unlimited projects, up to 10 users), with a free plan capped at 5 projects and no time limit, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. Prices in USD.
