Shop Boss packages and prices

The pricing page shows two figures for each package without labelling them. The higher one matches the $199 headline price, so we’ve read it as the monthly price and the lower one as the annual rate.

What each package adds

Every package includes unlimited users and repair orders, two-way text and email, integrated parts ordering, reports, vehicle lookup and history, a technician view, and VIN scan and plate decode.

• Gold ($199): calendars and appointments, inventory and vendor management, embedded payment processing (transaction fees apply), canned jobs and sublets, time and job clocks, profit-per-hour forecasting and parts and labor guide integrations.
• Platinum ($349): adds full labor repair guides with diagrams and procedures, digital vehicle inspections (DVI) tied to guides, parts and inventory, a business intelligence dashboard, a real-time shop dashboard, employee performance analytics, tire ordering and AI ProNotes.
• Premier ($449): adds a website for your shop (design and maintenance), monthly website and digital reporting, quarterly reviews and one-to-one training.
• Premier Plus ($649): adds the Online Service Scheduler (24/7 online booking, reminders, declined-work tracking) and CRM (automated messages, email campaigns, re-engagement and customer segments).

Note that digital inspections start at Platinum, not Gold. If DVI is the reason you’re looking at Shop Boss, budget for $349 a month.

Add-ons and one-time fees

Premier Plus includes the CRM and Online Service Scheduler. Buying Premier ($449) and adding them separately ($249) would be $698 a month, so if you want both, Premier Plus at $649 is the cheaper way to get them. The page says data transfer works from more than 130 existing systems. It doesn’t list a setup fee, contract length or cancellation terms; ask about those on the demo call.

Does Shop Boss charge per user?

No. Every package includes unlimited users, so a 2-person shop and a 12-person shop on Gold both pay $199 a month.

What Shop Boss costs in the first year

• Gold, monthly billing, customers and vehicles moved in: $2,388 + $399 = $2,787.
• Platinum (for DVI), monthly billing, full history moved in: $4,188 + $899 = $5,087.
• Platinum, yearly billing, full history moved in: $3,768 + $899 = $4,667.

Add card processing fees on top if you use the built-in payments.

Free trial and demo

The pricing page offers a demo and a “Get started” contact form, not a self-serve free trial.

If you only need the schedule

Shop Boss is a full shop management system: repair orders, estimates, invoicing, parts and payments. If that’s what you use every day, the price is for that, and switching to something smaller would cost you more in lost work than it saves.

But if what you mostly use is the calendar — who’s coming in, which tech has which car, and the history on each vehicle — NextCarHub does that for $49 a month per shop with unlimited users, against $199 for Shop Boss Gold. It doesn’t do repair orders, invoicing, parts or inspections. You can click around a sample shop without signing up, then run a real week in the 14-day trial (no card). NextCarHub pricing.
