How Strata compares, line by line
| Capability | Strata | Tiered shop software |
|---|---|---|
| What is on from day one | StrataEvery plan has booking, estimates with options, automations and QuickBooks from day one. Texting starts on Pro. | Tiered shop softwareTiered systems usually gate booking, proposals, integrations, and reminders behind mid and top tiers, with add-ons priced separately. |
| Estimates customers can shape | StrataOne estimate carries packages, add-ons, a live total, approval with the customer's name, and optional payment on approval. | Tiered shop softwareCustomer-choice offers often live in a separate proposals object on a higher tier, then convert in extra steps. |
| Two-way texting | StrataOn Pro and Premier with nothing to set up: one inbox, confirmations, and compliant opt-out handling. | Tiered shop softwareTexting is commonly a monthly add-on, priced on top of the plan. |

| Pricing | StrataPlans from $39/month, month to month, cancel anytime. The list price a shop joins at is kept for as long as it stays subscribed. | Tiered shop softwareTiered pricing tends to climb, and annual rates shown as monthly can blur the month-to-month price. |
Why shops choose Strata
The math, as of July 2026
Urable's published July 2026 pricing: month-to-month plans from $70 to $220, online booking from the $120 tier. Strata includes it from $39/month. Check both pages.
One estimate instead of four objects
The estimate is the whole flow. Your customer opens one link, picks a package, ticks add-ons, signs off with their name, and can pay right there.
Follow-up that runs itself
Autopilot watches unanswered quotes, overdue regulars, and aging invoices, then writes the message and waits for your tap. A revenue ledger shows what it brought back.
Built and answered by a founder
Urable was acquired by a payments company in 2025. Strata is founder-run: the person who built it reads the support inbox and answers switching questions personally.

See how import worksCommon questions
Can I import my Urable customer list?
Yes. Export from Urable and use the self-serve importer to bring in customers, vehicles, and history in minutes. Stuck on the export? Send it to us and we will set you up.
Do I lose my booked jobs when I switch?
No. Keep Urable running during your trial and let new work flow through Strata. Upcoming jobs are quick to recreate, and most shops rebuild their service menu in under an hour.
Is texting really included?
Yes. Two-way texting is on Pro and Premier, no setup. Flip it on and it runs from Strata's registered line with your shop's name on every message. Or connect an existing Twilio number.
Can I see it without creating an account?
Yes. Open the live demo estimate and play the customer: pick a package, tick an add-on, watch the total move, and approve it. It is the real customer-facing page, not a video.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
Plans from $39/month, month to month, cancel in the app anytime. Every plan runs the shop, and texting starts on Pro. No add-on math, no contract.
