Questions about the price

Why is it free?

Cowstail was built by a working technician for the trade, and the admin side will stay free for technicians. The plan for the business is on the company side, later and only for things a company would gladly pay for. Nothing a technician uses today goes behind a paywall.

Is there a limit on invoices or clients?

No. Send as many invoices and quotes as you need, to as many clients as you have.

What about the apps?

The iPhone and Android apps are free, the same account as the browser. Get the app.

Will you sell my data?

No. Your data is yours, stored in the EU, and you can export or delete it any time. The only aggregate we publish is anonymous market data, such as the going rate for a region, never traceable to a person or a company. See Security.

Do you take a cut when a company hires me?

No. You agree the rate and the terms with the company. Cowstail is not an agency.

Two minutes to set up
