Openly Pro

Openly Pro vs. the software stack

Everything they do. $59 a month. None of the headache.

Openly Pro gives your small business 12 simple tools — including booking, ordering, payments, scheduling, inventory, messaging, invoicing, and social posting — for one flat $59/month. Here's how that compares to the software stack most businesses are stuck paying for.

The honest pitch

We'll be straight with you: our tools aren't as deep as the enterprise platforms.

You won't find 400 settings menus. What you get instead is software that's faster to set up, quicker to use every day, and honestly more enjoyable — built for the businesses that keep your neighborhood running, not for a corporate IT department.

Starting prices tell only part of the story. Compare the useful capabilities, the pricing catch, and the Openly tools included in your $59 membership.

01 · Field service

Scheduling, jobs, and customer work

The large field-service platforms bundle dispatch, sales, reporting, and administration. That depth is useful—but it can become expensive fast.

The per-seat trap

Every new hire shouldn't trigger another software bill.

See the pattern? Most business software charges you for every employee. Five people on Housecall Pro can mean $500+ a month in seat fees alone. Three people on Hootsuite: up to $1,197. Openly Pro is $59 whether it's just you or your whole crew.

$59

Build your stack

Pick one tool per job, like most businesses do.

Scheduling ($189) + accounting ($85) + email marketing ($35) + social ($99) + reviews ($399) = $807/month before per-user fees. Or: Openly Pro. $59. Done.
