I'm a single-trade specialist — is the Trade Specialist tier enough?
Yes. The Trade Specialist tier ships the AI Voice Receptionist, AI Email Classifier, customer portal, Stripe payments, and one domain plugin (your trade). If you start subcontracting other trades or adding multi-trade jobs, you can upgrade to Multi-Trade Renovation any time without re-platforming.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — once we open external onboarding (Q4 2026), every new tenant gets a 30-day no-obligation trial. Bring a real job, we'll help you set it up. If it doesn't earn its monthly fee in saved time, walk away.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. No lock-in. Month-to-month billing. We'll export your data on request — your customers, your jobs, your invoices. It's your business; it's your data.
What about Stripe fees?
Stripe charges its own processing fees (currently 1.7% + 30c for AU domestic cards). Those are separate from your Ella Works subscription and go directly to Stripe. We don't take a cut of your customer payments.
Is my data isolated from other tenants?
Yes. Multi-tenant architecture with row-level isolation, per-tenant encryption, and audit logging. Your customers, your quotes, your variations — only you and the people you invite can see them. We'll publish the security architecture document before external onboarding opens.
Do you take a percentage of my quote value?
No. Flat monthly subscription. Your business outcomes are yours. We don't make more money when you sell more — we just want you to keep coming back.
