A service business needs a way to be booked, to answer enquiries it would otherwise miss, to turn quotes into jobs, and to get paid - online, by invoice or in person. Pludor does all four in one account: bookable services with deposits, an AI receptionist that answers and books, quote requests as leads, invoices and payment links, and tap-to-pay on a phone.
A service business needs a way to be booked, to answer enquiries it would otherwise miss, to turn quotes into jobs, and to get paid - online, by invoice or in person. Pludor does all four in one account: bookable services with deposits, an AI receptionist that answers and books, quote requests as leads, invoices and payment links, and tap-to-pay on a phone.
It's software that lets customers book you, handles enquiries, tracks quotes and collects payments. If you're missing calls, juggling bookings over text, or chasing payment after jobs, you need it. Pludor covers all of it in one account, starting free.
It varies a lot by tool. Pludor is $0 to start, with 30 bookings and 10 AI-answered calls free each month, then pay as you go. Card payments require a connected Stripe account, and Stripe charges its own processing fees.
List each service with its length and price or deposit, set your working hours, and share your booking page. On Pludor you open a free store, add your services, and your page is live at pludor.com/your-business - bookings only land in times you're available.
Yes. On Pludor each service can require a deposit at booking, paid through online checkout. You'll need a connected Stripe account for card deposits, and Stripe charges its processing fees.
An AI receptionist can answer calls, SMS and WhatsApp for you and book jobs straight into your calendar. Pludor's AI receptionist does this, with 10 answered calls and 100 AI replies free each month. It only knows what you teach it, so add your business knowledge and test it with a call.
Send an invoice or a payment link, or take payment in person with tap-to-pay or a QR code. Pludor offers all of these - you can create a custom item and send a checkout link, or turn a spare phone into a tap-to-pay terminal.
Yes. On Pludor you set a mobile service area for each service, and clients book within the area you travel to. Your working hours control when bookings can land, so travel time can be planned around.
Use a leads pipeline to track people who messaged but haven't bought yet. Pludor includes a CRM leads pipeline and contacts in its free plan, so quote requests come in as leads you can follow up on.
It's safe as long as it answers from accurate information you provide - it only knows what you teach it. Set it up, add your business knowledge, and test it with a call before relying on it. Pludor shows you the cost of AI calls before you switch the feature on.
Jobber and Housecall Pro are established field-service tools with their own strengths. Pludor differs by including booking, an AI receptionist, invoicing and POS in one free account, with pay-as-you-go pricing past free monthly amounts. Pludor publishes side-by-side comparisons of each so you can judge the fit for your business.
