Because a tier system is just a way to hide what the product actually costs.
Not included: Stripe processing fees (those go to Stripe, not us). QuickBooks Online subscription (you buy that from Intuit). Standard industry stuff.

I picked a 30-day free trial for a specific reason: this pays for itself inside one project, and thirty days is enough to start and finish one. I didn't want to hand somebody a month and have onboarding eat it — I sat through three separate sessions with our last platform and still spent most of my time googling. Nobody should lose their trial to setup.
So setup is short on purpose. You can enter a lead after a quick company setup. Give it a full day — adding your items, building your templates, tuning your schedule — and you're running real projects. There's no setup fee and no implementation call you have to wait for.
The one thing that isn't instant is SMS compliance, which requires a paid subscription because carrier registration costs real money and takes real time. Everything else is available on day one.
When we left our last platform, our item catalogue — five years of descriptions, costs, and margins — I was told couldn't be exported, so I retyped all three hundred entries by hand. Our signed estimates I only got because it occurred to me to download them one at a time before we closed the account. I got lucky once. I didn't want anyone else to need luck.
Connect Google Drive and your signed estimates land in your own Drive. Documents and photos you add to a project go there too. Your item library exports. Whatever happens later, what you put in is already yours and already somewhere you control.
