Price and contracts

Affordable field service software, priced in public.

Cheap software is easy to find. What's harder is a price you can see before a sales call, no annual contract, and no per-user math that doubles the bill when you hire. Here's how field service software is usually charged, and exactly what Redline costs.

What actually makes software expensive

The sticker price is rarely the problem. It's the things around it: the low number that's only for annual billing, the contract you can't leave in a slow winter, the onboarding fee, the add-ons that turn out to be the features you needed, and the per-user price that adds a full subscription every time you hire a tech.

If you're price-sensitive, read the pricing page for four things before anything else: monthly or annual, contract or not, per user or per plan, and what's extra.

Payments: what you pay, and what you don't

On Solo and up, customers pay invoices by card through Stripe, on your own connected account. Stripe charges its normal processing fees to your account. Redline doesn't add a fee on top. Check Stripe's own pricing for the rate; we don't quote it here because it isn't ours to set.

Payouts land in your bank on the schedule set in your Stripe account.
