About TradeKit
We believe every tradesperson deserves to look like a million-dollar company.
Skill is everywhere in the trades. What is harder to find is time to build a website, chase SEO, answer every ring, and stitch together six subscriptions that all want your credit card on the first of the month. TradeKit exists so the person who can fix the leak or wire the panel is not forced to become a part-time software buyer just to look legitimate on Google.
Our story
Born in St. Louis. Built for every job site.
TradeKit is a Sizzle Venture Studio product, designed and shipped from St. Louis, Missouri. We started with a frustration we heard again and again: tradespeople are incredible at their craft but get crushed by four hundred dollars a month in software, a weak or missing online presence, and calls that go to voicemail while they are under a sink or on a roof.
The math did not sit right with us. A solo plumber or HVAC tech should not pay more for SaaS than some office workers pay for rent on a tool that only does half the job. So we flipped the model: one straightforward launch fee, zero monthly platform charge, and processing fees only when money actually moves through the system—plus free recording of cash and check jobs so your books stay honest.
TradeKit gives you website, booking, quoting, invoicing, payments, phone, reminders, reviews, SEO, and growth tools—for $149 one-time to get started and $0 per month after that.
We are not trying to replace your trade. We are trying to give you the same surface area the big shops have—brand, discoverability, professional follow-up— without forcing you to become a marketer first.
Mission
We make money when you make money. That is the alignment every business tool should have.
Subscriptions reward the vendor even when your calendar is empty. We would rather grow when your revenue grows—when homeowners pay invoices, when deposits land, when repeat work comes back because reminders and SEO did their job. If you have a slow week, we are not another line item making it slower. If you crush a busy season, we scale with you without renegotiating tiers or unlocking “premium” features you already needed on day one.
That is the deal: look like the pro you are, get found, book jobs, collect payment, and keep more of what you earn—without a wall of monthly fees standing between you and the next customer.
Values
What we optimize for every sprint.
Zero barriers to entry
No $2,400/year invoice before your first paid job. No enterprise sales call. You launch for forty-nine dollars once, then the platform pays for itself out of the work you already do.
Earn before you pay
Our model is simple: when your customer pays you through TradeKit, a transparent processing fee applies. When they pay cash or check, you owe us nothing for that transaction. Alignment should feel obvious.
Built for the truck, not the office
Spotty basement signal, dirty gloves, one hand on the wheel—we design for real field days. Quotes, invoices, GPS, and booking need to work where you actually work.
Your brand, not ours
Homeowners hire you, not a software logo. Your site, PDFs, texts, and review requests carry your name, your colors, and your story. We are the engine under the hood.
Team
The people behind TradeKit.
We are a small, product-obsessed team partnering with designers, engineers, and operators who have shipped tools for real businesses—not slide decks. Bios and photos are coming soon; for now, know that we are reachable, we read feedback from the field, and we treat every tradesperson on the platform like the backbone of the economy you are.
