Looking for a QFactor alternative?

QFactor is a comprehensive, mature platform that has served established surveying firms for years. Relon is newer, leaner, and built around a different bet: that most 5–50 person surveying and engineering firms want one tool that handles the whole lifecycle — from first call to final invoice — at a price they don't have to think about every month.

If you've been running on Excel, Outlook, and a shared drive, and you've started losing track of where leads went and which jobs actually got billed, this is the page to read.

• You're 5–50 people and a tiered/per-seat license starts to feel disproportionate to your margin. Relon is one flat price — $399/month — for the whole firm, unlimited users.
• You want a CRM, not just project tracking. Leads, qualification, proposals, client health, follow-ups — the front-of-funnel work most surveying tools treat as an afterthought.
• You want AI that earns its keep — risk-scoring stalled deals, drafting follow-up emails, flagging clients about to go cold. Not a chatbot. Specific, operator-grade help.
• You want to be live this week and don't have budget for a multi-month implementation. Our team sets up your services, pipeline stages, roles, and clears the demo data for you. Free.

We're not here to pretend Relon does everything. If you're a larger established surveying firm with deeply customized field workflows, dedicated time-tracking conventions tied to QFactor's model, or a strong preference for a desktop-first tool you've used for years, QFactor is the safer choice. Sticking with what works is a perfectly good answer.

The thing we hear most often — and the reason Relon exists — is what a firm we work with calls “the leak.” They discovered they were losing $50,000–$60,000 a year in unbilled work: jobs the crew had finished, but the invoice never went out. Project closed. Cash never came in.

If your firm has felt that leak, whichever tool you pick — pick one where finished-but-unbilled work is impossible to miss.

Relon is $399/month, flat. Every feature. Unlimited users. Hands-on onboarding included. No tiers, no per-seat surprises, no “Contact Sales for AI.” For a 12-person firm that's $33/person/month. For a 30-person firm, $13. That's the whole pricing page — see it here.

QFactor publishes pricing on request. Your sales contact there will give you a real quote — get one if you're seriously evaluating them. We don't know your firm's situation well enough to fairly compare totals here, so we won't guess.

We do this regularly. CSV import handles leads, clients, and projects out of the box. For anything trickier — historical projects, QFactor-specific exports, multi-sheet Excel mazes — our team helps you map fields and brings the data in cleanly. There's no separate migration fee.
