Step right up. Actually, have a seat. This won't take long.
The old-school salesman, updated for 2026: firm handshake, straight answers, and nobody has to "go talk to the manager." Payment-only tools move the money and stop there. I handle the whole job: quotes, change orders, milestones, a customer portal, and payment, all under your own brand. The first 5 team members are included on every plan. Here is the whole pitch, numbers included.
Taking a card is the easy part. What makes you look like a pro, and gives you your evenings back, is everything wrapped around the payment. Here is what is on the lot.
One private page per job with progress, documents and what is due next. No more "where are we at?" calls.
Send a clear written quote. When the scope changes, the customer approves the change order online, and the price is on record.
Track the schedule and tie a payment to each milestone. Mark it done and the invoice goes out.
Estimate, approval, invoice and receipt in one place, with emails that carry your name and your brand.
The first 5 team members are included on every plan, then $10 each. Field-service apps charge about $29 to $35 for each extra user.
It runs on your own site, with your logo and your customer list. Your customers stay yours. We do not see them.
Card payments typically reach your bank in about 2 business days, and bank (ACH) payments take a little longer. Your first payouts can take longer while your account is new.
Coming soon QuickBooks data export.
I have nothing against the competition. PayPal, Stripe and Square invoicing will take your payment, and they are good at it. Accounting software keeps the books. Field-service apps run the schedule. I just happen to tie the job, the customer and the money together. This is the general picture, so check the tool you use. I would.

That is $96 a month back in your pocket on software alone, before payment fees on either side. Not bad for one handshake.
Prices shown for the separate tools are examples. Payment fees are extra on both sides. I do not hide the fine print. It is right here.
Every one of these is a good tool at what it does, and each card starts with what it does well. The blue box under it is what Grover Work adds for a contractor running jobs.
Almost every customer already trusts PayPal, and it is quick to start.

Move the sliders to match your business. Every number includes the card and bank processing fee. I will tell you honestly where someone else leaves you more cash, and what Grover Work adds beyond the payment.
The first 5 team members are included on every plan, then $10 each. No setup fee: you connect your own payment account (the sign-up form takes a few minutes, and approval can take a few days). Want us to do it? That is $49 one time. Pay for the year and I will throw in 2 months free. Try getting that from a car dealer.

A flat monthly fee for your plan (Starter has no monthly fee) plus a combined rate on each payment, with card and bank processing included. There is no setup fee if you connect your payment account yourself. If you would rather have us do it, that is $49 one time. The plan cards on this page show the all-in cost of a sample payment, and full fee terms are shared when you sign up.
Yes. Every number in the calculator and tables includes card and bank processing.
Yes, but it is lower than cards. The plan cards show the all-in cost of a bank payment.
The first 5 team members are included on every plan. After that it is $10 a month for each additional team member. Many field-service apps charge about $29 to $35 for each extra user.
Pay for the year up front and get 2 months free. The calculator shows your monthly cost both ways.
We take no chargeback liability. Chargebacks are handled between you and our payment partner under its rules.
No. Keep the accounting software you use. We handle estimates, change orders, project tracking, invoices, payments and the customer portal.
Move up or down when your volume changes. The calculator shows which plan costs you least at your volume.
Payments go to your own payment account and then your bank. You are the one who gets paid, and your brand and your customer data stay yours.
Not really. Press Connect payments and follow the sign-up screens, which take a few minutes. Our payment partner then reviews your details, and approval can take a few days, so it is smart to start early. You can build quotes in the meantime. You do it yourself, so there is nothing to pay for setup. If you would rather have us do it for you, that is $49 one time.
Texting is not something we charge for. You connect your own texting provider and we plug into it.
The first 10 contractors get Pro at 0.1% per payment, locked in for 12 months. No pressure, but I only have that many, and I am not about to print more. Tell us about your business and we will be in touch.
