Most small businesses stitch together a scheduler, a POS, an accounting tool, and a CRM from different companies. Here's what that typically costs, side by side with one ThePeely account.
Say you run a salon, studio, or small service business. A common toolkit looks like this:
| Tool | What it replaces in ThePeely | Typical monthly cost* | ThePeely equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square Appointments (Plus plan) | Bookings | ~$29/mo per location | Included |
| QuickBooks Online (Simple Start) | Ledger | ~$38/mo | Included |
| Calendly (Standard, 1 seat) | Bookings scheduling links | ~$12/mo | Included |
| A CRM tool (typical small-business tier) | CRM | ~$15–25/mo | Included |
| Running that stack separately | ~$94–104/mo, 4 separate logins | $39/mo, 1 login |
*Prices shown are publicly listed rates we checked in 2026 for the plans referenced above, per-location/per-seat where applicable. Competitor pricing changes over time and often varies by plan tier, add-ons, and processing fees — check each provider's site for current pricing before deciding. This comparison covers only the specific plans named; other tiers may cost more or less.
Point solutions charge per tool because each one is trying to be the single best product in its category. ThePeely takes the opposite bet: instead of being the best scheduler on the market, it's a genuinely useful scheduler bundled with 31 other genuinely useful tools, all reading and writing to the same account. Once a business is using 3 or more of those tools, the $39/mo all-access plan is cheaper than most single-purpose SaaS subscriptions — and there's only one bill, one login, and one place your data lives.
| What matters | Typical SaaS stack | ThePeely |
|---|---|---|
| Per-seat pricing | Most tools charge per user. Odoo starts around $31–39 per user per month, per app. Three staff on two apps gets expensive fast. | $39/mo flat. Invite your whole team at no extra cost. |
| Getting your data in | Often a paid onboarding, an implementation partner, or a support ticket. | CSV import on every app, reading Square and Shopify exports as-is. Minutes, not weeks. |
| Getting your data out | Export is frequently limited, paywalled, or per-module. | One button downloads everything you've stored, in open JSON. No lock-in by design. |
| Trying it | Demo call, sales qualification, card up front. | Every app unlocks fully for 48 hours with no signup and no card. Load sample data in one click. |
| Cancelling | Sometimes a retention call or an email to support. | Self-serve, online, from your dashboard. No conversation required. |
| Learning it | Certifications and implementation consultants exist as an industry for a reason. | Same layout in all 32 apps. Learn one, you've learned them all. |
Short version: we never see them. Checkout and subscription management both run on Stripe's own hosted pages, so your card number is entered on Stripe's infrastructure and never touches a ThePeely page or server. There is no card field anywhere on this site. We can see that a subscription exists and what plan you're on; we cannot see your card.
Your app data sits in a Postgres database with row-level security enforced per account, so one customer's records are unreachable from another's session even if someone tampers with the page. Team data is scoped to team membership the same way. Your plan level is enforced on the server and can't be changed from the browser.
To be direct about it: if you only need one specific thing — deep multi-location POS reporting, enterprise-grade accounting with a bookkeeper's approval workflows, or a CRM built around a large sales team — a dedicated best-in-class tool built for that exact job may serve you better than a generalist bundle. ThePeely is built for solo operators and small teams who'd rather run their whole business from one place than manage five vendor relationships.
Every app on ThePeely unlocks fully for your first 48 hours — no signup needed to start.
