What you get for $299.

All of it. This list is here so nobody has to wonder which feature turns out to be extra.

  • Unlimited builds, packages and tasks
  • Quotes the customer approves line by line
  • Progressive invoicing, partial payments and e-signature
  • Timeclocks with per-task hours and required clock-out notes
  • Parts tracking, vendors and the shop-wide parts manager
  • The customer-facing build journey page
  • Photo gallery with folders and full provenance
  • Calendar, crew capacity and departments
  • Job costing: budget vs. actual, payroll, parts margin
  • Document reading — POs, punch lists and notes
  • QuickBooks Online sync, at no extra cost
  • Every future feature, at no extra cost

Two ways to handle the books.

Both are built into the product rather than bolted onto it. Your builds, hours, parts and invoices are already here — the books are assembled from the work instead of re-keyed from it.

  • Accounting

    $49.99/month

    Native books, not an integration.

    Real accounting inside BuildMonkey: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, chart of accounts, journal, connected bank accounts and reconciliation. You do not open another tab or export a file — the ledger lives beside the builds that generated it.

    Already on QuickBooks Online? BuildMonkey syncs there too, and that is included in the base price.

  • Bookkeeping

    $299/month

    Done for you.

    A bookkeeper keeps the above reconciled and closed each month. You get the numbers without doing the data entry, and without hiring someone part-time to do it badly.

    Includes the Accounting package.

Try it for fourteen days. We will not chase you.

No credit card to start. Put a real build in it — a live one, with the parts you are actually waiting on — and see whether it holds up. If it does not, walk away and nothing happens.

  • Every tool in Shop Toolbox comes with a 14-day free trial
  • No credit card required to start
  • No salesperson calling you on day three

Questions about pricing.

What counts as a user?

Anyone who signs in — owner, service writer, fabricator, painter. Five are included; each one after that is $29.99 a month. Your customers are not users: they view quotes and build pages through a private link without an account.

Is anything held back for a higher tier?

No. There is one plan and it is the whole product. The two add-ons cover the books, and they are the only things priced separately.

Do I need the Accounting package?

Only if you want BuildMonkey to be where your books live. The job costing — budget against actual, payroll hours, parts margin — is in the base price. The Accounting package is a full ledger on top of that: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, bank reconciliation.

What if I already use QuickBooks Online?

Then you probably do not need the Accounting package. Syncing to QuickBooks Online is included in the base price: invoices, payments and clocked time land there under a job for each build.

What happens when the trial ends?

Nothing automatic — there is no card on file to charge. If the shop fits, you set up billing and carry on with the data you already put in.

Can I add and remove users as the shop changes?

Yes. Seasonal help and a fabricator who leaves in March are normal in this trade, and the user count is meant to move with the crew.

Put a real build in it.
