GetTimePad Pricing Explained (2026): What Each Plan Costs and Who It Is For

TL;DR

GetTimePad costs $79/mo for Starter, $199/mo for Pro, and $499/mo for Agency. Starter is a solo operator's plan for one staff member. Pro covers up to five staff and turns on the features that matter once you have trucks in the field: GPS tracking, payments, review routing, automations, and the AI receptionist. Agency is unlimited staff, multi-location, and API access. Annual billing gives you two months free, so you pay for ten months and get twelve.

There are no per-booking fees at any tier. As of August 2026 the only things that move your number beyond the plan price are optional add-ons: extra seats at $25/mo, an SMS Bundle at $19/mo, GPS device connectivity at $15/mo per device, and IntelliDrive POS sync at $79/mo. This article walks through what each plan actually includes, who it is built for, and how to work out your real monthly cost before you sign up.

The three plans at a glance

The live version of this table, including the seat and add-on calculator, is at pricing.

Starter, $79/mo, one staff member

Starter is the plan for a genuine one-person operation: the owner who answers the phone, drives the truck, does the work, and sends the invoice. It gives you the core that replaces a paper calendar and a text-message inbox.

You get a real online booking page customers can use without calling, a proper calendar with appointment records instead of a phone's default app, customer history so you can see what you did for someone last time, and automated SMS and email reminders. That last one is the highest-leverage feature for a small operator, because a no-show costs a solo tech an entire slot they cannot backfill.

Starter is deliberately not a stripped demo. It is not a free plan with a booking limit that punishes you for having a good month. It is the full scheduling engine sized for one person. If your business is you, a truck, and a phone, this is the tier, and $79/mo is the whole bill.

Where Starter stops: it is one staff member. The moment you hire a second tech you are choosing between $79 plus a $25 seat or moving to Pro, and Pro is usually the better answer for the reasons below.

Pro, $199/mo, up to five staff

Pro is the plan most field-service companies actually run on, because it is where the software stops being a calendar and starts being an operations system.

The five capabilities that switch on at Pro are the ones that only matter once work leaves your own hands.

GPS fleet tracking. When someone else is driving, "where is my tech" becomes a question you get asked several times a day, by customers and by yourself. Live vehicle location answers it without a phone call, and it makes your dispatch decisions real rather than guessed. The hardware side is covered at gps-device, and the operational case is in our GPS fleet tracking guide.

Payments. Collecting in the field, on the job, before the tech drives away, is the difference between getting paid today and chasing an invoice for three weeks. See the invoicing and payments guide for how that flow works end to end.

Review routing. Happy customers rarely leave reviews unprompted, and unhappy ones always do. Review routing asks at the right moment and sends the enthusiastic ones toward your public profile. The mechanics are in getting more Google reviews.

Automations. Reminder sequences, follow-ups, recurring job generation, and status-change notifications that run without anyone remembering to trigger them.

AI receptionist. The calls you miss are the jobs you lose. An AI receptionist answers when your team cannot, captures the details, and books the appointment. If you are weighing that against a human answering service, we compared them directly in AI receptionist vs human receptionist and broke down the money in how much an AI answering service costs.

Five staff is a generous ceiling. A shop with an owner, three techs, and an office manager fits inside $199/mo with nothing extra to buy.

Agency, $499/mo, unlimited staff

Agency exists for two situations, and if neither describes you, do not buy it.

The first is headcount. Unlimited staff is the whole pitch. Run the arithmetic: Pro at $199 plus $25 per seat beyond five means a nine-person shop pays $199 plus $100, or $299/mo, and a fifteen-person shop pays $199 plus $250, or $449/mo. Somewhere around the sixteenth staff member Agency's flat $499 becomes the cheaper number, and it stops moving no matter how fast you hire.

The second is structure. Multi-location support means separate branches with their own calendars, staff, and service areas under one account and one set of reporting. We cover why that matters operationally in the multi-location scheduling guide. And API access means you can push and pull data programmatically: sync jobs into your accounting system, feed a custom dashboard, or connect a tool we do not integrate with natively.

If you have one location, twelve people, and no developer, stay on Pro and add seats. That is not us talking you out of money. It is the plan structure working the way it should.

The add-ons, and whether you need them

Four optional items exist. Most shops buy zero or one.

Extra seats, $25/mo each (Starter and Pro). Straightforward: one more person on the schedule. Cheaper than jumping a tier until you cross roughly sixteen total staff.

SMS Bundle, $19/mo. Texting is included in every plan, but carriers charge to deliver messages, and a shop pushing hundreds of confirmations, reminders, en-route ETAs, and reschedules a week can exceed the included volume. The bundle covers heavier messaging without surprise overages. A single-truck operation almost never needs it. If your team lives in two-way texting, it is worth the $19.

Device connectivity, $15/mo per GPS device. This is the cellular connectivity for each tracked vehicle, billed per device, and it only applies if you are actually running GPS hardware. Two trucks means $30/mo on top of Pro.

IntelliDrive POS sync, $79/mo. Two-way sync with IntelliDrive point-of-sale for customers, invoices, and parts. It requires an IntelliDrive account, so if you do not have one, this line does not apply to you.

What your real monthly number looks like

Three honest examples, using the rates above.

A solo handyman with one truck and no GPS pays $79/mo on Starter. That is the entire bill. On annual billing it is $790 for the year instead of $948.

A four-tech HVAC company with two tracked vehicles and heavy texting pays $199 for Pro, plus $30 for two devices at $15, plus $19 for the SMS Bundle, which comes to $248/mo. Annually that is $2,480 instead of $2,976. Everything else, including GPS software, payments, review routing, and the AI receptionist, is already inside the $199.

A twenty-person, three-branch plumbing operation pays $499/mo on Agency, plus device connectivity for whatever it tracks. Multi-location and unlimited staff are included, so headcount growth does not change the software line at all.

Notice what is missing from every one of those: a per-booking fee. A month where you book 400 jobs costs exactly what a month where you book 120 does. That matters more than it sounds, because it means the money you spend on ads and the reviews you earn flow to your bottom line rather than being partly taxed by your scheduling tool.

Annual billing means two months free

Every plan can be paid annually, and annual billing means you pay for ten months and get twelve. Starter is $790/year, Pro is $1,990/year, and Agency is $4,990/year. Add-ons follow the same ten-for-twelve math when billed annually.

It is worth being precise about this, because the discount is sometimes described loosely elsewhere. It is two months free, not a percentage off a list price. Ten payments, twelve months of service.

Before you pay: the demo and the trial

There is a live demo you can click through with no signup, no card, no email, and no sales call, plus a 14-day free trial when you are ready to put your own customers and calendar in. Both start from pricing.

Our honest suggestion on sequencing: use the demo to answer whether the booking flow and calendar feel right, then use the trial to answer the harder question, which is whether your team will actually use it. Software your techs ignore is expensive at any price. We wrote about that adoption problem specifically in getting your team to adopt online booking.

How this compares to the rest of the market

Field-service pricing is notoriously hard to compare, because vendors bundle differently and several of the biggest ones will not publish a number at all. We keep side-by-side breakdowns at compare, including GetTimePad vs Housecall Pro and GetTimePad vs Jobber, plus a broader survey in the best field service management software.

The short version of our position: publish the price, do not charge per booking, and include the operational features at a tier a five-person shop can actually afford. That is why GPS, payments, review routing, and the AI receptionist sit inside Pro at $199 rather than behind an enterprise sales call.

If you want a general framework for evaluating any vendor rather than just ours, the scheduling software cost guide and the how to choose checklist are written to be useful even if you buy something else.

Frequently asked questions

How much does GetTimePad cost?

GetTimePad costs $79/mo for Starter (1 staff member), $199/mo for Pro (up to 5 staff, and it adds GPS tracking, payments, review routing, automations, and the AI receptionist), and $499/mo for Agency (unlimited staff, multi-location, and API access). Annual billing gives you two months free, so you pay for ten months and get twelve. Full details and the live calculator are at pricing.

What is the difference between the Starter and Pro plans?

Starter at $79/mo covers one staff member with online booking, the calendar, customer records, and automated reminders, so it is built for a solo operator. Pro at $199/mo covers up to five staff and adds the features you need once trucks are on the road: GPS fleet tracking, payments, review routing, automations, and the AI receptionist. Compare both side by side at pricing.

Does GetTimePad charge a fee per booking?

No. GetTimePad charges a flat monthly subscription and does not take a cut of each appointment, so a busy month costs the same as a slow one and your marketing wins stay yours. That is the whole point of a flat plan. See pricing for the current rates and our breakdown of why per-booking fees hurt at booking software with no per-booking fees.

How much do extra staff seats cost?

Extra seats on the Starter and Pro plans are $25/mo each, so a Pro shop that outgrows its five included staff can add a sixth for $199 plus $25 rather than jumping tiers. Agency includes unlimited staff at $499/mo, which is usually cheaper once you are well past a dozen people. Model your own headcount on the calculator at pricing.

What add-ons does GetTimePad offer and do I need them?

The optional add-ons are extra seats at $25/mo, an SMS Bundle at $19/mo for high-volume texters, device connectivity at $15/mo per GPS device, and IntelliDrive POS two-way sync at $79/mo. Most single-truck shops need none of them, and you can add or drop any of them later without changing plans. See the full list at pricing.

Is there a free trial and do I have to enter a card?

Yes, there is a 14-day free trial, and there is also a live demo you can click through with no signup at all if you just want to see the calendar and booking flow first. Try the demo from pricing before you decide which plan fits your team.
