Every job travels the same road

A customer finds you, asks something, books a time, agrees a price, pays, and — if you remember to ask — leaves a review. MakerBay has a module for each step, and they already know about each other.

Every step feeds the same customer list, so the history is in one place — not five apps.

Built for the way you actually work

Start with the module that hurts most. Everything else can wait until you need it.

On the tools all day

Electricians, plumbers, builders, landscapers, mobile mechanics

Your phone rings in a roof cavity. Missed-call rescue texts the caller your booking link and writes their voicemail into your inbox — job, address, urgency. Quote it from your price list on your next break, invoice it when they accept.

Start with: Quotes and Your page — missed-call rescue joins when it reaches your region

A day made of appointments

Salons, clinics, tutors, studios, personal trainers

Every booking that arrives by phone interrupts a paying customer. Put your real availability online, let people book and cancel themselves, and let the reminder email cut the no-shows.

Start with: Bookings and Reviews

Growing on nights and weekends

Solo founders, side businesses, local services just starting out

No website, no time to build one. Your MakerBay page exists the moment your workspace does — services, hours, a booking button and an assistant answering questions while you are at your day job.

No testimonials yet. Here is what you can check instead.

We launched recently and we are not going to invent customer quotes. These are all things you can verify yourself before you trust us with anybody's phone number.

$0our cut of the money your customers pay you

The changelog is the whole history. The roadmap names what we will not build and why. Your contacts export to CSV on every plan, including the free one, because a customer list you cannot take with you is not yours.

Why trust us with your customers?

Because the product is built to be checked, not just believed.

The assistant admits what it doesn't know

Answers come only from your documents, with sources shown. When it doesn't know, it says so in wording you choose — a wrong answer to a customer costs you more than no answer.

We will not gate your reviews

Every customer who responds is offered your Google review link, whatever they scored. Filtering out unhappy customers breaks Google's rules, and the roadmap says so publicly.

Your page waits until it's ready

Your page stays out of Google until it has real content — an intro, a photo, a priced service. A half-finished page in search results does you harm, so we don't publish one.

Your customer list is yours

Contacts exports to CSV whenever you like, on every plan. A customer list you cannot take with you is not really yours.

Changes are written down

Every customer-visible change ships with a changelog entry, and the roadmap lists what we are not building, in public, so you can plan around us.

We take nothing from your payments

When a customer pays you, the money goes from them to you through your own Stripe account. We never hold it and we add no fee — Stripe's rate is Stripe's. Tools that clip a percentage of your work are charging you to be paid.

Honest when something's off

If an email can't send or a feature isn't configured yet, the dashboard says exactly that — not a spinner, not a silent failure.

Questions

Getting started

Do I need a website?

No. Every workspace gets a real page at makerbay.app with your services, hours and a booking button, plus a hosted chat page you can share as a link or QR code. If you do have a site, adding the chat bubble is one line of HTML.

I'm not technical. How hard is this?

If you can attach a file to an email, you can set this up. Nothing needs code except the optional chat bubble, which is one line your web person pastes once.

How long until it's working?

About ten minutes: create the workspace, add your FAQ or price list, try it in the playground, share the link.

The assistant

What happens when it doesn't know something?

It says so, in wording you choose, rather than guessing. Those questions are collected for you so you can answer them once and have it handled from then on.

Will it invent prices or policies?

No. Every reply is grounded in the documents you uploaded, with sources shown.

Pricing and plans

What's actually free?

Your page, Contacts, Requests, Quotes with invoices, Get found and the help centre — free, with no trial clock. You pay for the assistant, Bookings and Reviews, and only once you switch them on.

What happens when I hit a limit?

You are told in the dashboard, plainly, before anything stops. The caps exist to bound our costs, not to push you into upgrading.

Your data

Is my information kept separate from other businesses?

Yes. Every document, contact and conversation is tied to your workspace, and answers are only ever drawn from your own documents.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Contacts exports to CSV whenever you like, on every plan. A customer list you cannot take with you is not really yours.

Can my developer use it directly?

Yes. Everything the dashboard does is available over a REST API with your own keys.
