Why switch
What changes when payments, financing and your CRM live in one account.
A CRM, not just a checkout
Stripe doesn’t offer a CRM. Ours has no monthly fee, so leads, jobs and payments share one record.
One flat card rate
3.25% flat, against 3.6% on Stripe once its 0.7% billing fee is counted.
Financing with no MPA fee
A financed sale costs you the same as a card sale. Klarna and Affirm on Stripe run 7%–7.5%.
Bigger jobs, paid over time
Customers pay up to $25,000 over 3 to 60 months*, after a soft credit check.
Scheduling built in
Stripe stops at the payment. ClientLoop books the job, sends the quote and collects the invoice.
Reviews on autopilot
A review request and a follow-up text go out after every paid job. Stripe doesn’t offer them.
Payments, financing and a CRM with no monthly fee, in one account.
