Pricing questions, answered
Is there really no setup fee?
None. Sign up, you're in. We'd rather earn month two than charge you to start.
What if I outgrow my plan?
Upgrade or downgrade any month. We prorate. No phone calls to a "success manager" required.
Do I need a credit card?
No. We don't collect a card to start, and you'll get 30+ days' notice before any price change.
Is it really free right now?
Yes. Every feature is unlocked, free, during the public beta. We're a working shop building the tool we wanted — right now we want your feedback, not your money.
What about per-user fees?
None. Add as many users as your plan allows at no extra cost.
What happens if I send more than my SMS allotment?
$0.02 per SMS over plan. We'll email you at 80% so you're never surprised.
Can I import data from my current shop management software?
Yes. If it can export a CSV, we can bring it in — CSV import is in the app, and the estimating and collision systems shops already run all export one. For larger migrations we'll do it for you free on Pro+ and Multi-Location.
Do you have a referral program?
Refer another shop, you both get a month free when they pay their first invoice.
