Choose from Essentials, Pro and Group. The main decisions are whether you need digital inspections, automatic reminders, customer approvals and the Diagnostic Library, and whether to pay monthly or annually. Every plan includes unlimited users. Pricing is per workshop, not per seat.
Pick Essentials if
- You're a smaller workshop that does mostly mechanical work
- You don't need digital vehicle inspections
- You don't need automatic MOT and service reminders
- £99/month (or £950/year), excluding VAT, is the right entry point
Pick Pro if
- You want the Inspections module — form builder, 22 field types, photo and video evidence, vehicle inspection history
- You want automatic reminders for MOT, service and timing belts, firing without you lifting a finger
- You want customer approvals: send the work for the customer to approve or decline online, with a signature
- You want the Diagnostic Library, your workshop's own searchable record of faults and fixes
- You want the technician-on-mobile flow tied to digital inspections
Pick Group if
- You run multiple sites under one company and want them handled as one account
- You want custom integrations
- You want a dedicated account manager
Feature-wise Group unlocks the same four things Pro does. What you're buying is the commercial arrangement around several workshops, not extra software.
What's the same in every plan
Everything outside the lists above — jobcards, customers, vehicles, invoicing and payments, messages, reviews, mobile app, and unlimited users. Only four features are plan-gated: inspections, automatic reminders, customer approvals and the Diagnostic Library. Everything else is the core product and is on every plan.
Can I switch later?
Yes, both ways. Upgrade Essentials → Pro and all four gated features unlock immediately. Downgrade and existing data (inspections you've already run, reminder logs) stays in your records — only new actions inside gated features are blocked.
Start your workshop's first monthly Essentials or Pro subscription during setup to get 3 days free. Your card is taken at checkout and the standard price starts automatically once the three days are up. See Plans & Billing.
Monthly and annual plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee from your first plan payment. Any free trial comes before this window. Email ross@pistonlog.com within 14 days of that payment to request a refund.
