What does TradeVan actually cost?

$29 per month for the first two users. $19 per user after that. That's it. No implementation fee, no per-invoice charge, no per-work-order charge, no per-customer storage cap, no add-on modules to unlock, no payment processing markup.

How much does a 5-tech shop pay?

$86/month total. The math: $29 base covers the first two seats, then 3 additional seats at $19 each is $57, plus the $29 base = $86. Every feature — dispatch, calendar, invoicing, AMC plans, reports, offline sync, everything — is included at that price.

How much does a 10-tech shop pay?

$181/month total. First two seats included in the $29 base, then 8 more seats at $19 each is $152. Total: $181. Still every feature on every plan.

Are there hidden costs?

No. SMS and WhatsApp customer messaging are Bring-Your-Own-Account (BYOA) — you connect your existing Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo, Vonage, or Meta WhatsApp account, and the per-message cost is between you and your provider. TradeVan doesn't take a cut of messaging. No implementation fee, no per-invoice charge, no per-work-order charge, no per-customer storage cap.

Why is it so cheap compared to the incumbents?

The incumbents built enterprise products and sell them to small shops. Their price model reflects their cost model — sales teams, implementation consultants, per-tier feature gates. TradeVan is built by a small independent team specifically for shops with 1–25 techs. Our costs are our costs; the price is what the software takes to run, not what a mid-market SaaS company can extract.

What a shop actually pays, worked out

A solo contractor pays $29/month. A 5-tech shop pays $86/month total: the first two seats are covered by the $29 base, then three additional seats at $19 each is $57. Sum: $86. A 10-tech shop pays $181. A 20-tech shop pays $371.

There is no volume discount because there is no volume markup. The base price is what the software costs us to run, not what we can extract from a bigger operation. If your shop is one person or ten, the math per seat is the same.

Owner profitability report showing revenue by job, gross margin, and outstanding invoices for the month — no upgrade required to see it

Included from day one

Every report is on the base plan

Owner profitability, per-tech revenue, outstanding invoices, month close-out PDF, CSV exports — nothing is gated behind a higher tier. A solo contractor's account has the same feature tree as a 20-tech shop's.

What is NOT included in the price

SMS and WhatsApp customer messaging are Bring-Your-Own-Account — you connect your existing Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo, Vonage, or Meta WhatsApp account. The per-message cost is between you and your provider. TradeVan doesn't take a cut.

Everything else is included: unlimited work orders, unlimited invoices, unlimited customers, unlimited equipment records, unlimited attachments, offline sync, multi-tech crews, AMC plans, catalog and inventory, dispatch grid, calendar and advanced scheduling, reports, month close-outs, CSV exports, mobile PWA, magic-link customer invoices, email intake, missed-call intake, and support from a real engineer.

Invoicing

Send a magic-link invoice — the customer opens it without an account

The invoice goes out as a magic-link email with the PDF attached. The customer clicks, sees the itemised bill, and pays you through the payment method you're already set up with. TradeVan doesn't route the money and doesn't take a cut.

Invoice detail page with itemised line items, tax, discount, and payment status — the same billing surface every shop gets
