Savings depend on plan tiers, add-ons, and user count. With launch pricing and unlimited users, many shops see lower monthly costs compared to higher-tier plans and per-seat fees.
Add as many employees as you need without paying extra. ShopMonkey charges more as you add users, but Sayyara includes unlimited users on all plans. Perfect for growing shops that don't want to worry about per-user fees.
Sayyara is built with the latest technology for a lightning-fast experience. Our clean, intuitive interface that is quick to learn. Plus, start using it immediately with our self-serve signup.
ShopMonkey has many features, but that can mean complexity. Sayyara focuses on what shops actually use daily: estimates, DVIs, repair orders, invoicing, CRM, and analytics. Clean, modern interface without the bloat.
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's when ShopMonkey might be the better choice:
ShopMonkey has established integrations with parts suppliers (WorldPac, PartsTech) and labor guides (Mitchell1, AllData). Sayyara is building these integrations and they'll be available soon. If you can't wait, ShopMonkey has them today.
ShopMonkey has more experience with large franchises and multi-location setups. Sayyara is a strong fit for independent shops and growing franchises. We're actively developing multi-location support based on customer feedback. If you have 10+ locations and need it immediately, ShopMonkey might be better today.
If you have $300-500/month to spend and want every possible feature and integration, ShopMonkey offers a mature, feature-rich platform with years of development.
Yes! We offer free data migration. Our team will help you export your customer data, vehicle information, and service history from ShopMonkey and import it into Sayyara. Migrations typically complete quickly.
Sayyara has all core features: digital estimates, DVIs, repair orders, invoicing, CRM, inventory, and analytics. We're actively building parts supplier integration, labor guides, appointment scheduling, and multi-location support (coming Q1 2026). ShopMonkey has more integrations today, but Sayyara covers the core daily workflows. Plus, we listen to customer feedback and prioritize the features you need most - even if they're not currently on our roadmap.
