One platform, for less than the stack you rent.
Most shops pay three or four vendors that barely talk to each other, and still get a template website. Move the sliders and see what one platform could mean for you.
What most shops pay now
Plus setup fees, and a website that isn't really yours.
Gravy
A $99 base gets your website plus the essentials. Add any of 60+ modules a la carte, from $19, and everything together is capped at $499. Keep whatever software you already use; pay only for what you do. A bespoke custom site, with full SEO and the extras a custom build includes, is a $3k to $4k one-time add-on. One bill, export your data and leave anytime. See pricing →
Shop IT: we manage your computers too
IT Checkup $19/mo, or IT Care $149/mo for the help desk and automatic fixes on up to 5 computers, and a real person, with no meter, when it can't fix something. Managed IT companies typically charge $100 to $185 per user every month.
Gravy takes nothing from your card payments
Card payments run through your own Stripe account, at the rates Stripe charges you. Gravy adds no markup, no per-payment fee and no monthly payments fee. Most shop software runs payments through its own service, so you pay their rate and switching software means switching processors. With Gravy your Stripe account, payouts and history stay yours, even if you leave.

A structure comparison, not a knock on any one vendor. Dollar figures are yours to enter below.
Deliberately conservative: about 15% of tickets carry declined work at a 25% recovery rate; about 20% of customers respond to a well-timed review ask versus the ~2% most shops see. Recovered figures are revenue, not margin.
