— Tachlogic vs Shopmonkey

Per-seat pricing is a
tax on growing.

Shopmonkey is polished software with texting built in — but its $239/mo Basic plan covers just 3 users and 2 inspection templates, extra seats are $20/mo each, and QuickBooks sync starts on the $399/mo Clever plan. Tachlogic never counts your seats.

— The short version

Tachlogic: $125/mo flat, unlimited users, unlimited inspection templates.

Shopmonkey: $239/mo Basic includes 3 users and 2 DVI templates; a 6-person shop on Basic is $299/mo before you touch the feature list.

Shopmonkey’s edge is built-in SMS at every tier. Ours is that the bill never grows with your team.

— Where Shopmonkey wins

Where Shopmonkey genuinely leads:

Texting everywhere. Unlimited two-way SMS is included at every tier. If SMS-first communication is non-negotiable, that’s a real advantage today.
QuickBooks sync. Native QBO integration (from the Clever tier) if your accountant lives in QuickBooks.
MOTOR diagrams and a deep integration catalog at the Genius tier.

— Where Tachlogic wins

Where Tachlogic makes more sense:

Seats never cost extra. Every writer, tech, and the owner’s cousin gets a login. A 6-person shop pays $125, not $299+.
DVI without a ceiling. Build as many inspection templates as you want, attach photos to any line, and the report rides the emailed invoice — at $125, not $399.
Flat, visible payments. Stripe’s rate + 0.3%, disclosed in-app, with dual pricing built in.
Cancel like an adult. Month-to-month, cancel in the app, export your data.
