Your business practically runs itself.

£0 a month. We earn when you earn.

Everything below is on the free plan — it is the product, not a crippled demo. We take 7.5% of what you take through the app, and nothing at all on tips — a tip of up to the value of the service reaches you whole. No subscription, no setup fee, no contract.

• £0 a month, forever
• 7.5% of what you take through the app
• 0% on tips, up to the value of the service

Pocket replaces the tools you'd normally have to buy separately.

Most small businesses end up paying for a booking system, a website, a card reader, a mailing list and something to write their posts — five bills from five companies that do not talk to each other. This is all of it, in one place, for nothing until you get paid.

• Your booking system — A diary that knows your real hours, how long each job really takes, and never double-books.
• Your website — Your own address at yourname.mypocketpro.app, live the day you sign up.
• Your branded customer app — Your business on your customers’ home screen, in your name and your colours.
• Your payment system — Deposits at booking, card on the day, and a till for the cash — tips to you whole.
• Your customer database — Every customer, every visit, every note, kept in one place.
• Your loyalty & referral system — A stamp card for your regulars, and 2% for every business you introduce.
• Your social media assistant — Posts written from the gaps actually in your diary, ready to paste. We write them. You post them.
• Your retention marketing — Reminders before the booking, and a nudge when a regular goes quiet.
• Your admin assistant — Ask Pocket in plain words. It shows you what it will do before it does it.

Nine subscriptions, or one app that costs nothing until somebody pays you. There is no tier where these get switched on — this is the free plan.

See your business before you sign up.

Type your name, pick your trade and a colour, and your page appears on screen with your name on it. Nothing is saved until you claim it, and there is no card to enter.

Live in an afternoon

Three steps between picking your model and taking your first paid job.

1. Pick your model — Choose the premade business for your trade — the right words, the right price list, the right way of selling — and change anything you like.
2. Share your page — You get your own address — yourname.mypocketpro.app. Put it in your bio and customers book, ask for a quote or join a plan themselves.
3. Get paid — Take card payments on the day or collect a deposit up front. The money settles to your own account.

You only pay when you get paid

No subscription, no setup cost, nothing to cancel.

7.5% per payment taken through PocketPro

You keep 92.5% of every sale, and card processing on standard UK cards is included — there is no separate Stripe fee on top and nothing per transaction. The 7.5% is worked out on the full price of the job and comes out of whatever is paid online: on a £120 job with a £30 deposit, our £9 comes out of the deposit, so you receive £21 now and £90 on the day. Part of our 7.5% funds the Pocket Partner Referral Programme, which is how businesses who introduce other businesses get paid.

• Your own branded page and customer app
• Unlimited services, customers and bookings
• Card payments, deposits and quotes
• Automatic confirmations and reminders
• A stamp card for your regulars
• A till for cash and card on the day
• Posts written from your diary
• Customer history and takings at a glance

When you get the money

Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account — they never sit with us. Stripe holds each payment for 7 days, then pays your bank on the schedule you set in Stripe. The wait is what protects you if a customer disputes a payment weeks later. Need it sooner? Stripe offers instant payouts from its own dashboard. Cash and card taken on your own terminal never touch us and are yours immediately.

Built to be trusted with your business

• Payments secured by Stripe — Card details never touch us. Stripe handles them, as they do for millions of businesses.
• Your customer list stays yours — We never market to your customers. They are your customers, not ours.
• Export your data any time — Customers, bookings and takings, as a spreadsheet, from Settings. Nothing to request and nobody to ask.
• Nothing to install or set up — It works in the browser on the phone already in your pocket.

Your customers get your app.

Not a link to our website with your logo on it. Your customers tap "add to home screen" and your business sits on their phone next to Instagram — your name, your colours, opening straight on your page.

• Installs from the browser. Nothing to download, no App Store, no approval to wait for.
• Opens full screen, like any other app. No address bar, no browser tabs.
• Works on iPhone and Android from the same address.
• Update it by changing your branding — every customer sees it next time they open it.

You get the same thing: the owner side installs on your phone too.

From enquiry to paid job.

You do the work. PocketPro handles the bits in between.

1. They find you — Your own page, and social posts written for you.
2. They book you — A diary that knows your real hours and never double-books.
3. They ask for a quote — They describe the work, you price it on your phone, they accept on theirs.
4. They pay you — Card up front or a deposit, plus a till for cash on the day.
5. They come back — Reminders before, and a nudge when a regular goes quiet.
6. They tell their friends — Referrals that reward the customer who sent them.

Ask Pocket

Pocket takes care of the boring stuff. Just tell it what you want.

• “Write a post about my free slots this weekend”
• “Who has not booked again this month?”
• “Block out Friday afternoon, I have the dentist”
• “How much did I earn this month?”
• “When am I free for a two-hour job next week?”

Who has not booked again this month?

Eight customers who normally come back every 4–6 weeks are overdue. Priya is furthest behind, at 9 weeks.

Know another business? Get paid for it.

Introduce someone to PocketPro and you earn 2% of everything they take through it, every month they keep using it. It comes out of our share, so they pay the same 7.5% either way.

• 2% of everything the businesses you introduce take
• £0 it costs them — their fee is the same 7.5% either way

You do not need to run a business to do this — and there is a second, smaller tier for anyone they introduce.

Questions

What does it cost to start?

Nothing. There is no subscription and no setup fee. We take 7.5% of payments taken through PocketPro, and nothing at all on tips — you can record a tip worth as much as the service itself and it reaches you whole. If you take no money through it, you pay nothing.

Do I need a website already?

No — your page is the website. You get your own address at yourname.mypocketpro.app as soon as you sign up.

When do I get my money?

Card payments go into your own Stripe account, not ours. Stripe holds each one for 7 days and then pays your bank on whatever schedule you set in Stripe. The wait is what protects you if a customer disputes a payment. Need it sooner? Stripe offers instant payouts from its dashboard for a small fee of its own.

Is there a limit on tips?

A tip can be as large as the service itself, and every penny of it is yours — we take no fee on tips at all. The limit exists only because tips carry no fee: without it, a £1 service with a £99 "tip" would be a way to take £100 and pay us almost nothing. If a customer is unusually generous, ring the work up at what it was really worth and put the tip on top.

Which trades is it for?

Thirteen premade models — beauty, pets, trades, landscaping, cleaning, automotive, fitness, wellness, tutoring, photography, catering, property and freelance — each with the right words, a starter price list and the right way of selling: appointments, quotes, classes or plans. Pick the closest one and change anything you like.

Can my customers still just message me?

Of course. You can add a booking yourself in seconds, and where you have a till, a walk-in can be rung up on the spot.

What if I have staff?

Right now PocketPro is built for one person’s diary, and a colleague cannot yet have their own sign-in. You can run a second person from the same account, and separate logins with their own permissions are being worked on. If that is a dealbreaker today, it is better you know now.

What happens to my customers if I leave?

You export them and go. There is no contract and no notice period. Your customer list is yours, and we never contact your customers ourselves.
