Start at $39 a month. Pay only for what you use.
Three paid plans, a free tier to kick the tires, and à-la-carte add-ons so you never pay for tools you don't run. Prices are in USD, billed monthly or yearly.
Free during the beta. These plans start at launch.
No added Paint Portal transaction fees. Stripe processing fees apply only when a payment is processed through Stripe and are deducted from your payouts. Recording payments received outside Stripe does not trigger Stripe processing fees; other providers may have their own fees.
Every paid plan is covered by the 90-days-or-3-jobs guarantee. Choose monthly or yearly billing.

What's in each plan
Nothing is hidden on any plan — Preview means you can open the tool and see how it works before you pay for it. Metered items (like “3 jobs/mo”) reset on your billing date, and you always see a usage counter.

How extra users work
A user is anyone on your team who signs in. Clients never count — the client portal is free for them, no account required.
| Your crew | The math | On Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 3-person shop | 3 people fit inside Pro's 5 included users | $99/mo |
| 8-person shop | $99 + 3 extra users × $10 | $129/mo |
| 12-person shop | $99 + 7 extra users × $10 | $169/mo |
| 25-person shop | Pro's ceiling — Business is $329 with every add-on in | $299/mo |
An owner and two crew-only users fit Starter at $39, with unlimited quotes and invoices. Choose Pro when another person needs quoting or finance access.
The monthly bill for a 3-person crew
Same shop — an owner and two painters — priced on each platform's own published monthly rates.
| Platform | How it's priced | 3 people, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Paint Portal | Starter includes 1 full user + 2 crew-only users at $39; Pro includes 5 users at $99. Both include unlimited quotes and invoices. | $39–$99 |

| DripJobs | Pro plan $97/mo includes 1 admin user; pricing for additional team members isn't published. Advanced plan is $147/mo | $97+ (1 admin only) |

Pricing questions, straight answers
What exactly do I get for $39?
The Starter plan includes one full user plus two crew-only users, 25 active projects, unlimited quotes, e-signatures and invoices, ordinary deposits and final invoices, basic online payment collection, scheduling, and one monthly Free Flex Add-on. Crew-only users work on assigned jobs, record their own time and complete tasks; they cannot quote or manage finances. A second office user requires Pro. Clients do not count as users.
How do extra users work on Pro?
Pro is $99 a month and includes 5 users. Each extra user is $10 a month, up to 25. A user is anyone who signs in — you, your office help, your painters. At 25 users Pro is $299 — and Business is $329 for those same 25 with every à-la-carte add-on already included, so that is where most shops step up.
Do my clients count as users?
No. Clients review quotes, e-sign, pay, and watch progress through the client portal — no account, no app download, and they never count against your user total. Users are only your own people.
What's an add-on, and what does one cost?
An add-on lets you choose an eligible tool, such as expanded job costing, without upgrading your whole plan. During the beta every add-on is free. When paid plans start at launch, each add-on has its own monthly price, listed inside the app on your billing screen. Included tools do not use a Flex choice, and add-ons do not unlock extra office users. Business includes every eligible add-on, with allowances on metered services.
What's a Free Flex Add-on?
On top of your plan you get a number of paid add-ons for free — one on Starter, three on Pro — and you can change which ones every month. Each pick runs for the whole month across your whole company, and nearly every add-on qualifies. Nothing you build disappears when you swap: your work stays visible, it just stops updating until you turn that tool back on. Free plans get to try one for a month. A couple of tools carry a monthly allowance rather than unlimited use, because every run goes through an outside service.
What happens when I hit a monthly limit?
You'll see exactly where you stand on a usage counter, and when you hit the cap you get the choice: upgrade the tier or add that one tool à la carte. Your data is never deleted, locked, or held hostage — everything you've entered stays readable.
Can I change plans later?
Monthly plans are billed monthly; annual plans are prepaid for the full year at the displayed annual total. Cancel renewal at any time. The money-back guarantee has its own terms, linked below.
What happens to my jobs if I downgrade or cancel?
Nothing is deleted. Your projects, quotes, invoices, photos and hours stay exactly where they are and stay readable — the tools you dropped simply stop updating them until you turn them back on. The same is true of a Free Flex Add-on you swap away: you can still see everything it built. We never hold your data hostage to keep you subscribed, and your clients, suppliers and payroll export to CSV, with A/R aging as a PDF, whenever you want them.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Run up to 3 jobs through Paint Portal in your first 90 days. If it hasn't earned its keep, tell us and we refund every dollar you've paid — no call required, no hard feelings. Full terms on the guarantee page.
Are there payment-processing fees?
Paint Portal adds no transaction fee. Stripe processing fees apply only to payments processed through Stripe and are deducted from your payouts. Recording cash, checks or payments received outside Stripe does not trigger Stripe processing fees. Other payment providers may charge their own fees. Subscription and optional add-on charges are separate.
Is there a founding-member offer?
Yes — shops that join during the beta lock in founding-member terms. The full terms are on the beta page.
