The honest Tekmetric alternative for independent shops

Tekmetric handles digital inspections, scheduling, invoicing, card payments and texting. Gravy matches those essentials and adds what a back-office-only tool structurally cannot: a website of your own, built-in marketing on the base tier, and an AI foreman.

Tekmetric is strong shop-management software. Marketing and reviews are a paid add-on, and like other back-office tools it does not give you an actual website. Gravy treats marketing and reviews as a paid add-on, is modular so you keep the tools you like, and builds you a real website connected to the rest of the shop.
