Choose Detaild if…
- You run a shop or a multi-van crew and want one platform for the whole team.
- You want a deep CRM with pipelines, not just a calendar.
- The $49/mo is small next to your monthly revenue.
Choose DetailKit if…

- You want clients to book in five taps — no app download, no account.
- You'd rather keep deposits in your own Venmo/CashApp than route money through a platform.
Common questions
- Is DetailKit just a cheaper Detaild?
- No — it's a narrower one. Detaild covers teams, CRM pipelines and shop workflows. DetailKit deliberately does less: booking page, vehicle-size pricing, deposits, reminders. Less software, less price.
- Can I switch from Detaild to DetailKit?
- Yes. Your booking page is a link you drop into your Instagram bio and Google Business Profile — swap the link and you've switched. Client history imports are on our roadmap.
