Compared to Joist

Cheaper on every plan. No five-document ceiling.

Joist's cheapest plan is $10 a month and stops at five documents. Ours is $9 and does not stop.

  • Change orders on the cheapest plan. Joist puts them on the $32 one.
  • Every plan lowers your card rate. Joist's stays at 3.49% + 49¢ even at $70 a month.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write it up

    On the truck, on your phone. Line items, a total, done.

  2. 2

    Send a link

    Text it. They open it and it is already in their language.

  3. 3

    Get paid

    Card, bank, Zelle or Venmo — into your account, not ours.

What makes it different

It translates the work, not just the headings

"Replace 50 gallon water heater" arrives as "Cambio de calentador de agua de 50 galones" — and it goes the other way just as well. An AI model does the translating, which is why it handles trade words a phrasebook cannot.

Zelle and Venmo told the truth

Your client saying they sent it is not the money arriving. Most apps mark it paid anyway. This one asks you first.

The invoice runs both ways

Write up what someone did for you and send it to them to sign. Change the job afterwards and the record says so.

Built for a phone, not shrunk to fit one

One hand, one bar of signal, in a driveway, in the sun.

Your information

We never sell it. Not yours, not your clients'.

It is not a product

No advertising, no data brokers, no selling — of your details or your clients'. We have never done it and the privacy policy says so in the words the law uses.

Nothing is measured without a yes

Decline on the way in and nothing about how you use it is recorded. Even with a yes, what is measured never includes a client's name, address or amount.

You can see exactly who touches it

Stripe for payments, our host for the servers, an email provider to deliver the document, and the translator — because the words on your estimate are what it reads. Every one is named in the privacy policy, including that last one.

Common questions

+Do my clients need the app?

No. They get a link and open it in whatever browser is already on their phone. No download, no account, no password.

+What do I actually get for $9?

All of it. Unlimited estimates, invoices and change orders, both languages, card and bank payments, Zelle and Venmo, signatures, photos, deposits. Nothing is locked. Documents carry a small “Made with Setallup” line at the bottom, cards run at 3.49% + 49¢, and moving up a plan takes the line off and brings the rate down.

+How does the translation actually work?

It translates the work you typed, both directions — not just the headings. The original stays on the page underneath, because a document about money should always show what was really typed. Correct a phrase once and it is remembered every time you use it again.

+I want to bill my gardener. Does he need an account?

No. You write up what he did and what you owe him, text him the link, and he signs it with his finger — no app, no account, no password, nothing to pay. Only the person writing the document needs an account.

+Where does the money go?

Into your own account. Card and bank payments run through Stripe under your name — we never hold it. Zelle and Venmo go straight from your client to you and never touch us at all.

+How does the price compare to the others?

At their published August 2025 prices: Joist is $10 for five documents a month, $17 for unlimited, $32 to get change orders and reports, and $70 for scheduling — at 3.49% + 49¢ on cards the whole way up. Jobber starts at $39. Housecall Pro starts at $59 plus $35 a seat. Ours starts at $9 with no document cap, and on the top plan you pay Stripe's own rate with nothing added. Both languages are on every plan and every document — not an add-on.

+Is my client's information safe?

We never sell it and we never share it for advertising. Signatures are encrypted before they are stored, backups are encrypted with a key kept apart from them, and every query is scoped to your business, so nobody else can reach your clients. What we will not tell you is that nobody here can ever see it: the server renders your document, emails it and translates it, so people who work on it can reach the database. The privacy policy names every company that touches any of it.

Setallup is new. The terms and privacy policy are drafts a lawyer has not yet read.
