Everything included. No per-user fees.
Shopmonkey charges $239 a month plus $20 for every extra user, so shops quietly stop giving logins to the people who only touch the system twice a week — and then nobody can tell who did what. Attribution is the whole point of a sealed record. A price that punishes it breaks the product to sell the product.

$109
per month, one location
$1,090 per year. Two months free.
One person as owner, advisor and technician. One location, no limit on repairs.
Everything a shop does in a day, for one person at one address. What it leaves out is a second person and importing your old records from another system — you start from the first job you write here.
- One person: you.
- No limit on repairs.
- 150 GB of photographs.
- 300 texts included.
- 50 AI receptionist calls included.
- Published to the vehicle's record — on every plan, including this one.
- Your old records are not imported.
- One location.
$189
per month, one location
$1,890 per year. Two months free.
One shop, however many people, however many repairs.
This is the whole product for one address. A shop with twenty service bays and fourteen people pays what a two-bay shop with two people pays, because logins genuinely cost us nothing.
- No limit on people. Everyone gets their own sign-in.
- No limit on repairs.
- 150 GB of photographs.
- 1,000 texts included.
- 100 AI receptionist calls included.
- Published to the vehicle's record — on every plan, including this one.
- Import your old records from CSV files.
- One location.
$159
per month, per location — two or more
$1,590 per location, per year. Two months free.
Several shops under one owner, reported together.
Every location gets everything on Shop, and the owner sees them reported together. Each location keeps its own customers, vehicles and jobs: a wrongly merged history cannot be un-merged, so a group is a reporting relationship, not a shared database.
Why Group costs less per location than Shop: a second location costs us about $17 a month to run.
- No limit on people. Everyone gets their own sign-in.
- No limit on repairs.
- 150 GB of photographs at each location.
- 1,000 texts included at each location.
- 100 AI receptionist calls included at each location.
- Published to the vehicle's record — on every plan, including this one.
- Import your old records from CSV files.
- Two or more locations. Everything in Shop, at every location, reported together.
Past that, 5¢ a text and 30¢ an AI receptionist call. Nothing is cut off mid-job; you get an email at 80% and at 100%.
$69 a month adds 500 AI receptionist calls.
Every plan has every feature. The tiers differ in how many locations, whether we bring your old records in, and how many texts and AI receptionist calls are included. Pay yearly and pay for ten months, not twelve. A full refund if you ask within 30 days of your first payment. After that, cancel any time. Change plan any time; the unused part of what you paid is credited on your next invoice.
Prices are in US dollars.
Included on every plan
- Customers can pay over time with Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay through the shop's own Stripe account, where that account has them switched on.
- Email to customers from the shop's own domain.
- The tax and fee calendar.
Founding offer
The first 25 shops pay $99 / $149 / $129 (Group per location) — locked for 24 months — in return for being a reference.
25 of 25 places left.
After 24 months it is the list price, and we email you at least 60 days before it changes. Shops already paying keep the price they signed up at.
What is on every plan
All of the daily job. Write-ups, estimates the customer approves line by line, tiered inspections, the job board, appointments, the till, invoices, warranties, purchase orders to your own vendors, profit per job, books for your accountant, QuickBooks sync, the time clock, the customer portal, follow-ups — and sealed, hash-chained records published to the vehicle's permanent record.
The complaint people make about the mid-priced products is that the things a shop does every hour sit behind the next tier up, so the plan you bought feels deliberately broken. Nothing here works that way. What the plans separate is how much and how many places.
If you quote from a labor time guide, keep it. We do not sell you book time and never will. Name your guide — Mitchell 1, ALLDATA, MOTOR, Identifix, Real Time Labor Guide, or whatever you actually use — and type the hours onto the line. It records which guide said what and shows billed against book, and beside it puts what you charged for the same job on your own sealed work. Your own history is the one guide you already paid for and never got to read back.
And one thing that costs us almost nothing. Five years of a busy shop's photographs costs us less than a dollar a month, so the allowance is set where you will not meet it.
And if you move down a plan, you keep what you already have. Your photographs stay where they are and your sealed records keep verifying. The smaller allowance applies to what you add next, not to what you have already done. We are not going to delete a customer's repair photographs because you chose to spend less with us, and a sealed record that pointed at pictures we had thrown away would still say it was valid — which is worse than useless.
What the others charge
Published entry prices, each read from the vendor's own page on the date shown. Three of these are cheaper than us and it says so. If your problem is purely budget, go and price them — but check what they do and do not include before you get to the number.

Who should not switch
If your counter orders parts from a supplier catalog inside the software, know that there is no parts catalog here: you order on your vendor's own site and type the parts onto the job. If that ordering flow is what your day runs on, price the switch honestly.
Before you move anything: count the logins on your current plan. If you are paying per user, removing the people who touch it twice a week is the fastest saving available to you, and it does not require changing software at all.
