A new business does not need a $300-a-month platform and a six-week implementation. It needs the customer list to be a list, the estimate to go out tonight, the invoice to carry a payment link and the review ask to go out on its own. TradesBackbone does that from the first job — and we will be honest with you: we are early too. The right early users shape what we build next, and you get a direct line to the team that builds it.
Pick your trade at signup — or leave it on General and change it later.
Everything below exists today. Nothing on this page is coming soon.
Sign up, pick your trade and the app relabels itself — Services and Accounts for a pest or cleaning business, Jobs and Customers for everyone else — with a starter price book already in it. Change the pack later in Settings when the business finds its shape.
Every plan includes a one-page business website with your services, hours and service area, a work request form and online booking if you want it. A request from the form creates the customer and starts your new-lead follow-up on its own.
Build the estimate from the price book, text the link, the customer taps Approve. Approved estimate becomes the invoice, with a card or ACH payment link processed by Stripe. Overdue reminders go out without you chasing.
Mark the job complete and a thank-you and a review request go out automatically, 8am to 9pm in the customer’s time zone, with STOP opt-out built in. A new business lives on its first twenty Google reviews; the ask goes out every time.
TradesBackbone is built by a small team and we are early. Support & Feedback in the footer reaches us directly, and what early users ask for is what we build next. No account manager, no ticket queue — the same people who wrote the code read the message.
A trade pack is configuration: labels, price-book categories, starter checklists, compliance fields and reports. Each page below shows what its pack sets up.
3, 10 or 25 users included with the plan, then $40/mo per extra user. No annual contracts, no implementation fees. Every plan starts with a free trial.
Straight answers about how TradesBackbone runs a new trade business business.
That is when it is cheapest to start organized. Starter includes 3 users, begins with a free trial and has no contract, and the first customer you add is already in a system that estimates, invoices, takes payment and asks for the review. Moving in later means importing a spreadsheet you built in the meantime.
No. The pricing on this page is the pricing, and every plan starts with a free trial. What a new business gets that is different is us: we are early, we answer directly, and the things early users ask for are what we build next.
TradesBackbone is a young product from a small team. Everything on this page exists today and is used by real shops, and the product is still being shaped. If you tell us the estimate screen is missing a field your trade needs, there is a real chance it is there the following week.
Pick the closest one, or leave it on General. A pack is configuration — labels, price-book categories, starter checklists and compliance fields — and you can change it in Settings at any time without losing anything.
Yes. The import screen takes a CSV or Excel file of customers, jobs or invoices, matches the columns for you, and shows a row-by-row preview before anything is saved. Importing the same file twice updates instead of duplicating.
Support & Feedback in the footer of every page. It goes to the people who build TradesBackbone, not a ticket queue.
