No subscription · one payment, yours for good

Own your software

The office and the field, in one place. Buy it once — there is no monthly bill.

The whole idea

Same software for everybody. Every feature, every price.

You're paying for how many people use it — not for which features you're allowed to have. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier, because there are no tiers. There are just bigger and smaller businesses.

Sterling

  • Pay once. It's yours.
  • Every feature at every price
  • Works with no signal — syncs when you're back
  • Export everything, any time
  • Paperwork written in your trade's own words
  • Tax-time report, including Schedule C mapping

The monthly kind

  • Pay every month, forever
  • Better features cost more
  • Stops working the month you stop paying
  • Your records live on their servers
  • Generic forms for every trade
  • Taxes are your problem
What you actually get

Two apps and your trade's own language.

Not a to-do list with invoicing bolted on. A back office that does the money and the taxes, a field app that works with no signal, and a work layer that makes both of them speak your trade.

BackOffice — the office

  • Invoices with payment links and QR codes
  • Late payments chased automatically at 7, 14 and 30 days
  • Bank feed sorted onto Schedule C lines
  • Tax Time report — with the figure to set aside
  • Crew schedule you can print
  • Sync direction and a seat kill-switch you control

Everything in BackOffice →

OfficeKit — the field

  • Works with no signal at all , syncs when you're back
  • Jobs with checklists, photos and a signature
  • Estimates that track your margin quietly
  • Estimate → job → invoice, nothing retyped
  • Snap a receipt, it files itself on the right tax line
  • Mileage at the IRS rate, 1099 subs tracked

Pricing

Priced by how big you are.

Not by what you're allowed to unlock. Pick the row that sounds like your operation.

One payment

BackOffice and one OfficeKit seat. Bought separately they're $398 — this is the pair, $99 less.

Office plus five in the field

$599
One payment

BackOffice and five OfficeKit seats. More seats are $99 each, whenever you need them.

Buy the crew set

Every purchase includes one work layer for your trade. Extra work layers are $59 each — same price for every trade, no matter how complicated it is.

Move up later and you pay only the difference. Nothing you already bought is wasted. Started at $149 and want the pair? That's $150, not $299.

Where the phone app comes from. OfficeKit isn't in an app store and there is nothing to download. It opens in your phone's browser and goes on the home screen — two steps, written out here . BackOffice runs in any browser on any computer, with nothing to install there either.

Unlimited computers. You at the shop, your spouse at the kitchen table, your office manager at the desk — all signed in at once, no extra charge. You pay for a second set of books, never for a second laptop.

Work layers

Paperwork that already speaks your trade.

A work layer turns the app into your trade's app — the right fields, the right words, and the document your customer or your inspector actually expects. One is included. Others are $59.

In the store Built — ask me Hover to stop · click any trade

Search all 170 trades →

Don't see yours? There's a free general work layer in every account, so you can start today either way — and if you tell me what your trade needs, I'll build it. The first person to ask for a trade gets that layer free when it's done.

Straight answers

What it doesn't do.

If one of these is the thing you need, buy something else — I'd rather tell you now than take your money.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Do I get fewer features on the cheaper option?

No. Every version does everything it does. The price is about how many people are using it, not what you're allowed to unlock.

What happens if I stop paying?

There's nothing to stop. You paid once. It keeps working.

Does it work with no signal?

Yes — that's the point of the phone app. Do a whole job in a basement or out past the last bar of service, and it syncs itself when you're back in range.

Can I get my data out?

All of it, any time, as ordinary spreadsheet files. Your records are yours and I'm not holding them hostage.

Do I need to buy anything extra to check my books from home?

No. Sign in from as many computers as you like.

Who am I actually buying this from?

One person, in Pennsylvania, who still works twelve-hour shifts — for now. Support comes from me directly and I read every message myself. The plan is to grow into it: full time first, then bring people in. Buying it once and getting a real person won't change.
