QUESTIONS? ANSWERS.

Yes. 100% free. No monthly fees, no per-user charges, no feature paywalls, no credit card required. Every feature — digital inspections, SMS, AI follow-ups, payments, reporting — is included for every user at every shop. We're not a freemium trap. There's no "upgrade to unlock" button hiding anywhere.
Shop Commander includes everything those platforms charge $200-$1,000/month for — plus features they don't even offer, like AI tech note cleanup, automated declined job recovery, seasonal tire storage tracking, and loaner management. See the full comparison →

There isn't one. Shop Commander was built by a shop owner who was tired of paying $400+/month for software. It's built to solve a real problem, not to extract maximum subscription revenue. We make a small commission from our payment processor when you run credit cards through Shop Commander. You pay standard processing rates — we just get a small referral cut from the processor. No subscription fees, no per-user charges, no transaction markups. The software itself is free.
About 10 minutes. Sign up, configure your shop name and hours, invite your team, and start creating repair orders. If you're migrating data from another system, we handle that for you — usually same day.
