DetailKit vs Mobile Tech RX
Mobile Tech RX is one of the few tools actually built for auto reconditioning — detailing, PDR, tint, PPF — with trade-specific estimate templates. It's estimate- and invoice-first, though, and deposits only unlock on its $99 tier. It's less about clients self-booking, more about you writing estimates.
Mobile Tech RX: from $39/mo — The trade's own app — built for auto reconditioning pros (detailing, PDR, tint, PPF) with estimate templates.

Choose Mobile Tech RX if…
- Your work spans recon services (PDR, tint, PPF) and you want one estimating app for all of them.
- You write detailed on-site estimates and invoices and want trade templates for them.
- You want deposits and are fine stepping up to the $99 tier to get them.

- You want deposits on the entry plan, straight to your own Venmo/CashApp.
- You want clients to self-book in a few taps rather than wait on an estimate.
Common questions
- Mobile Tech RX is detailing-native too — how is DetailKit different?
- Mobile Tech RX is built around estimates and invoices you create; DetailKit is built around clients booking themselves. If your day is writing recon estimates, it's a great fit. If it's fielding 'how much and when?' messages, DetailKit's self-booking page is the better tool.
- Do I get deposits on the entry plan?
- With Mobile Tech RX, deposits start on the $99/mo Standard tier. With DetailKit, deposits are in on the $19 plan — and they go straight to your own Venmo or CashApp rather than through the app.
