Platform fee is charged on every plan, and it isn't refunded when you refund a client. On $100k of yearly card volume that fee is roughly $3.1k — before the subscription and before processing.

Migration is the part they won't do

Their export gives you contacts, quotes, bookings, invoices and payments as CSV. Your services, pricing rules, templates and contracts generally come out as nothing. "Free migration" on the other side means a human rebuilding your catalogue by hand.

Founding carts get it done for them: send us the export, we rebuild the pricing rules and templates and hand back a working catalogue with your numbers in it.

Step 1Export your CSV, drop it in a folder

Step 2We rebuild services, rules, templates, contracts

Step 3You review side by side, then switch

Founding carts: 10 spots

Price locked for life, migration done for you, and your wishlist goes into the build order. No card needed — this is a waitlist, not a subscription.
