## Overview

### Who Uses Handiwork?

Small trades businesses — painting and other home-service trades. Crews of one to ten where the owner or office manager runs estimates, scheduling, invoicing, and payments.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Handiwork

## Commercial Context

- **Pricing model**: Usage Based (Free version available)
- **Pricing Details**: Handiwork has one plan for every business: usage-based, not tiered.

Starting price: $0/month. There is no software subscription, no monthly fee, no per-seat cost, and no setup fee.

Free version: Yes — the full product, every feature, no trial period and nothing that expires.

Free trial: Not applicable — there's nothing to trial. Handiwork is free to run your business on until you process a payment.

Fee: Handiwork charges a 3% platform fee on each payment processed through the app, capped at $79 per calendar month per business. Once a business hits the cap in a given month, no further platform fee applies to that business's payments for the rest of that month.

Examples: $1,000 processed in a month = $30 (3%). $5,000 processed = $79 (capped, \~1.6% effective). $10,000 processed = $79 (capped, \~0.8% effective).

Payments made by cash or check carry no Handiwork fee at all.

Payment processing: Card and ACH payments run through Stripe. Stripe's own processing fee (industry-standard, approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is separate from Handiwork's platform fee and is the responsibility of the business — it is not charged or retained by Handiwork.

Refunds: if a business issues a refund, Handiwork returns the platform fee it collected on the refunded amount, and that amount does not count toward the business's monthly fee cap. Stripe's processing fee is not returned on a refund.

Contract: none. No annual commitment, no cancellation fee, and no per-seat charge — every feature is available to every user on the account.
