Software for plumbers who are usually under a sink

Your phone rings while your hands are wet and your head is in a cabinet. By the time you call back, they have booked someone else. That is the whole problem, and it is the one this is built around.

What happens while you are on a job

• Someone finds your page and asks a question at 8pm. The assistant answers from your own price list and your own words — with the source shown — and says plainly when it does not know rather than inventing a number you will have to honour.
• They book a real slot. Your diary, your hours, your travel buffer between jobs. They get a confirmation with a link to cancel themselves, so a change of plan is not three missed calls.
• You quote from the ute. Pick the lines off your price list, send it, and see when they opened it. They accept on their phone and it becomes an invoice.
• They pay you, and we take none of it. Card payments go from them to your own Stripe account. Stripe’s rate is Stripe’s; we add nothing.
• The review ask goes out on its own, after the job is done. Every customer gets the same link, whatever they thought — we will not filter out the unhappy ones, and the roadmap says so publicly.

What it costs

$29 a month, month to month, with everything switched on — no per-seat pricing, no add-on for the AI, no annual lock-in. The first 100 workspaces pay $19 and keep it. There is also a genuinely free plan, not a trial with a clock on it: 20 bookings a month, your page, your quotes and invoices, and your contacts exportable to CSV whenever you like.

For context, we wrote up how that compares to Jobber, including where Jobber is the better pick — if you run a crew of five with dispatch and GPS, it is.

Things we will not claim

No licence number, no insurance, no “25 years experience” ever appears on your page unless you type it yourself. When MakerBay reads your existing website to build your page, it deliberately refuses to copy any of those — a compliance claim you did not check is your problem, not ours, and it should never arrive by accident.

We also have no plumbers using this yet. MakerBay launched this month, and rather than invent a testimonial we would rather you open the demo workspace and ask its assistant something awkward.
