Why Shops Switch to Sayyara

Lower Total Cost

$99/month with unlimited users vs ~$134/month for a single-user lease (extra seats cost more). No long-term contract.

Unlimited Users & Free Portal

Advisors and techs are free to add; customer portal included. Mitchell1 lacks a free portal and typically licenses per workstation/user.

Cloud Anywhere

Sayyara is cloud-native (desktop, tablet, mobile). Mitchell1 is Windows desktop, adding IT/maintenance overhead.

When Mitchell1 Might Be Better

If you must stay on Windows desktop/on-prem and want Mitchell's estimating content bundled, Manager SE can fit that requirement.
