What $19 a month covers
There is one plan and this is it. No tiers. No add-ons. No seats. The list below is the whole app, and nearly every line of it is on from the first minute of the free plan — the logo on your invoice, the approval on your customer's phone and the profit number on the Money tab are all working before you have paid a dollar. Two things come with the plan: the tax spreadsheets and printable summary, and video — on your public page or clipped to a job.
- SideWRK writes the estimate on your phone: tap the service off your trade's own menu and the description, the quantity and your rate land already filled in.
- SideWRK collects the approval from the customer's phone. They read it, type their name, and can put a deposit down right there.
- On the finished job, SideWRK invoices with your name, logo and license number on the document.
- SideWRK takes card and Apple Pay from a link you text, and the money lands in your own Stripe account.
- SideWRK records the cash jobs too. Mark it paid and the Money tab counts it the same.
- SideWRK shows real profit per job, off a private "your cost" the customer never sees.
- All 42 trades, SideWRK unlocks from day one. Switch in a tap, one customer list across every one of them.
- SideWRK prices the work the way your trade bills: by the hour, per square foot, per square, per load, or from a flat service menu.
- SideWRK files the receipt photo with the expense and packs the year into a Tax Wrap-Up with CSVs your preparer can open.
- SideWRK tracks truck stock with reorder points, and reads a barcode to find the part.
- SideWRK publishes your own page at sidewrk.app/p/your-name: gallery, reviews, a quote form, and booking requests if you turn them on.
- Offline, SideWRK keeps working. The job saves on the phone and syncs when the signal comes back.
- SideWRK runs in English or Spanish, customer documents included.
- SideWRK sends the reminders on an unpaid invoice at 3, 7 and 14 days, by email. Never a text to your customer.
Nothing above sits behind a higher tier. There is no higher tier.
How billing works
Five steps. None of them is a phone call.
- 1
Start with 5 free jobs a year
Sign up with an email. No card, and no clock. Your own logo goes on real paperwork and you run real jobs before you decide anything — everything on except the tax spreadsheets and video.
- 2
Pick monthly or annual when the 5 run out
$19 a month, or $190 a year. Pick either one. You add a card when you choose, not before. Stay on the free plan instead and nothing is taken away — your customers, jobs and paperwork are all still there, and a 6th job in the same year is the only thing that waits.
- 3
Change or cancel from the app
Shop → Manage billing opens your billing portal: move from monthly to annual, update the card, or cancel. No phone call, no email to anyone.
- 4
Leave with the door open
Delete the account and billing stops the same minute. Your data waits 60 days: log back in inside that window and your customers, jobs, photos and history are right where you left them. After 60 days it is gone for good.
- 5
Take your numbers with you
The Customers tab exports your list to CSV or a .json backup that imports straight back in, any time, free — truck stock exports the same way. The Money tab's CSVs and QuickBooks-ready files come with the plan, so pull those while it is active; the numbers themselves stay on your screen either way. It's your data, and the exit is built in.
What you're not paying for
The things people ask about. None of them costs extra.
A second seat
SideWRK is built for one person doing the work. There is no per-user price because there is no user to add.
Another trade
Handyman in summer, snow in January, small engines all year. The switch is a tap, not an add-on.
More customers
No cap on customers and no cap on jobs. A busy season costs the same as a slow one. Same price all year.
A cut of the money
Card and Apple Pay carry the standard card processing fee, shown before you tap. SideWRK itself takes no cut of a payment on any rail, and a payment request goes from the customer straight to you.
Setup
Bring your customer list in from a spreadsheet, a CSV, or a photo of the handwritten one. Nothing to buy to start, nothing to install.
Next to the crew software
SideWRK is for one person doing the work out of a truck, on the side, and it is priced like it. One plan, one price, everything in it. For scale: Housecall Pro's cheapest plan is $79 a month, and it is a one-user plan; their own site puts it as "Basic — 1 user: $79/month".

Pricing questions
Is there a free plan?
Yes, and it does not expire. 5 jobs a rolling year, no card — and a job only counts when you send it for approval, print or share it, or mark it paid. Two things come with the plan: the tax spreadsheets and printable summary, and video — on your public page or clipped to a job. Everything else is on. Paying lifts every limit — $19 a month or $190 a year.
What happens after the 5th job?
You choose monthly or annual and add a card. Nothing is charged before that. If you don't choose, the app holds your customers and jobs; sign in and subscribe whenever you're ready and it's all still there.
Is there a cheaper plan with fewer features?
No. There is one plan. The 42 trades, offline mode, the satellite takeoff, the public page and the tax wrap-up are all in it.
Do I pay more for another trade, another customer or another job?
No. Every trade is on, and there is no cap on customers or jobs.
Does SideWRK take a percentage of my payments?
No. The subscription is the whole bill. Card and Apple Pay carry the standard card processing fee, and a payment request goes from the customer straight to you. That is all of it.
How do I cancel?
From the app. Shop → Manage billing opens your billing portal, and cancel is right there. Deleting the account stops billing the same minute.
What happens to my data if I cancel or delete the account?
A deleted account is kept 60 days. Log back in inside that window and everything is where you left it; after 60 days it is permanently deleted. Your customer list exports to CSV or a .json backup any time, free — the tax spreadsheets come with the plan, so pull those while it is active.
Is the annual plan really two months free?
Yes. Twelve months at $19 is $228; the annual plan is $190, which is 10 months' worth.
