Questions about renting vs owning
Is owning software really cheaper than subscriptions?
For teams that pay per user for several apps, a one-time build usually pays for itself within one to three years. Small teams with one or two cheap apps may be better off renting.
What does the one-time build include?
A custom dashboard on your own server: CRM, bookings, invoices, tasks, reports and a client portal, set up for how you work. Hosting and an optional care plan are paid monthly.
Are these subscription prices exact?
No. They are typical list prices for common business apps. Change them to what you actually pay for an accurate result.
Own your system instead of renting it
One dashboard on your own server, built around how you work. No per-user fees.
