Both are UK apps built by working tilers, and both work out materials and send professional quotes and invoices. Both can do a quick quote in a phone browser. Tilers Mate stops at the quote and invoice, and can email supplier orders. TileIQ also runs the rest of the job, from enquiry and measuring to scheduling, invoicing and review requests, and works offline.
If you want one app for the whole job, or you measure with a Leica Disto, TileIQ covers more.
We make TileIQ, so we're not neutral. We've kept this comparison to facts we could check. Both apps change often, so check each one's website for the latest features and prices before you decide.

Where TileIQ is a good fit
TileIQ does a quick quote when you just need a price fast, and can also run the whole job:
- Measuring: enter room sizes, or connect a Leica Disto by Bluetooth and send measurements straight in.
- Pricing: tiles, adhesive, grout, tanking and prep for every wall and floor, using your own labour rates.
- Running the job: a job pipeline, calendar and customer records, so enquiries don't get lost.
- Getting paid: invoices from the accepted quote, with Xero, FreeAgent and QuickBooks.
- After the job: automatic Google review requests, social posts from your job photos, and a free portfolio website.
- No signal needed: it works offline on site and syncs when you're back online.
Price
At the time of writing the two cost about the same per month. TileIQ's founding offer is £9.99 a month or £79.99 a year, and you keep that price while you stay subscribed. Tilers Mate lists a £9.99 a month founder offer, normally £14.99, or £99 a year. Founder offers on both apps may end, so check current prices.
Which should you choose?
- You want quick quotes, with room to grow: TileIQ does quick quotes too, plus the rest of the job when you need it.
- You want enquiries, quotes, scheduling, invoices and reviews in one place: TileIQ.
- You measure with a Leica Disto, or often work without signal: TileIQ.
Both let you try before you pay, so the quickest way to decide is to price one real job in each.
