Single-van

$49/month

Solo operator 1 resource calendar

Full feature set for the 1-van shop. Deposit gate, service-area cap, tier menus, automatic reminders, your own subdomain. Stripe Connect for deposits (you keep all customer revenue; only the platform fee comes to DArnTech).

Same feature set, with parallel resource calendars per van. Geographic-sequencing display per van. For shops with a primary detailer plus a helper, or two-detailer partnerships.

Coming after the first vertical-1 customer lands

Vertical 2 · Music teachers

$19/mo solo · $29/mo studio

Coming after V1 customer #1

Parent-pay invoicing, sibling discount, recurring lesson scheduling with school-holiday skip, 10-lesson package pricing. Sequenced after vertical-1 because mobile-detailer customer feedback validates the substrate first.

Vertical 3 · Homeschool tutors

$29/mo solo · $49/mo studio

Coming after V2 customer #1

Progress-notes-for-parent after each session (the homeschool-co-op differentiator), subject tracking, parent-pay with sibling discount inherited from V2. Layered on top of the V2 build.

What this pricing isn't

Not a freemium funnel — the $49/month tier is the entry tier. No "starter" $9/month bait-and-switch. No usage-based pricing surprises. No enterprise tier with custom quote (this product isn't built for enterprise scale, and pretending otherwise wastes both sides' time).

If you outgrow this product (5+ vans, you need real CRM, you need full FSM), the honest answer is move to Workiz or HousecallPro — we'll export your data cleanly and wish you well. The goal here is a focused tool for solo + small-fleet, not a platform play that traps you as you grow.

2-week trial, then first paid month

Demo instance spun up in about 30 minutes after first conversation. Free 2-week trial with real bookings. After that, $49 (or $79) for month one — cash, Stripe, Venmo, doesn't matter. Cancel anytime, data exports cleanly. See how the trial works →
