The problems solo owners told us about, solved before you run into them.

We talked with people running a business on their own about the software they had tried and given up on. The same complaints came up again and again. Here is what they said, and exactly what Aptsmith does about each one.

“It turns into one more job to manage.”: Aptsmith does the setup for you. You enter your assessment results and answer a few questions about how you like to work. Every tool you add then opens already arranged around your answers: the steps in the order you would take them, the details you look for first, and nothing you would have to switch off. There are no templates to build and no settings to work through on a Sunday.
“I don't like big busy dashboards.”: Your home screen shows what needs you today: who is booked, who has paid, and who is still waiting on a reply. Tools you have not switched on do not appear at all. Anything else is one click away when you want it.
“I've lost count. Notion, a planner app, at least two courses.”: Most software bills you every month and leaves you with nothing when you stop. In Aptsmith you buy each module once and it stays yours. Your assessment results are yours too, and your records download in one file whenever you want them.
“I don't even know why I'm laying things out this way.”: Every setting in Aptsmith tells you, in plain words, which part of your assessment results it came from. If a choice does not suit you, change it. You never have to guess why your screen looks the way it does.

Know exactly what you will pay, without fees hidden in the fine print.

Keep everything your clients pay you.

When a client pays you through Aptsmith, the money is yours. Your card processor takes their fee, and nothing is added on top of it.

HoneyBook charges $49 a month and takes 2.7% plus 10¢ of every card payment. On $4,000 a month that is about $108 on top of the subscription, which more than doubles what you thought you were paying.

Work it out with your own numbers.

I invoice about this much a monthacross about this many payments

A 2.7% + 10¢ platform takes, per month: $108.40
Aptsmith takes, per month: $0.00
Difference over a year: $1,300.80

Card payments only. Your own processor's fee applies either way and is not counted here, because it is not ours to charge or to waive.

Buy modules once, without a monthly bill for each.

Modules cost $0 to $100, paid one time, and they stay yours.

Some modular platforms charge $10 to $99 per module, per month, for as long as you use it. Three modules there is a bill that never ends. Three modules here is a bill you paid once.

The honest version, because you will work it out anyway: if you only ever want one small tool, there are cheaper places to get it. Aptsmith is worth it when more than one thing is broken.

Your first month includes your assessment.

Your first month is $49, and the assessment your tools are set up around is included in it. Your results describe how you work, so they are yours to keep whether you stay or not.

Try Aptsmith for a month without risking your money.

If it is not right for you, you get your first month back. Here is how that works.

Tell us within 30 days

Any time in your first thirty days, let us know Aptsmith is not right for you.

Get your $49 back

Your first month is refunded in full. There is nothing to use up and nothing to argue about.

Keep your results

Your assessment results describe how you work. They stay true, and stay yours, after you leave.

Take your records

Everything you entered downloads in one file, whenever you want it, without asking anyone.

See how Aptsmith works without signing up for a trial.

A free trial would show you Aptsmith before it is set up around you, which is the one version you would never actually use. Your tools are arranged around your assessment results after you join, so a trial could only show you a version set up for nobody in particular.

Instead, open the demo and watch Aptsmith set itself up differently for different people. No account, no email and no card. If you start and it is not right, you have thirty days to get your money back.

Answers to the other questions people ask before they start.

What happens to my things if I cancel?

Your assessment results are yours, and they stay true outside Aptsmith. Modules you bought stay bought. Your records download whenever you want them, in one file, without asking anyone.

Is there a free trial?

No. A trial would show you Aptsmith before it is set up around you. You get thirty days to change your mind instead, so you judge the real thing rather than a weaker version of it.

What if I only want one small tool?

Then there are cheaper places to get it, and that is an honest answer rather than a modest one. Aptsmith is worth the money when more than one thing is broken.

Do you take a percentage of my sales?

No. Your card processor takes their fee, the same fee they would take anywhere else, and nothing is added on top. Try it with your own numbers in the calculator above.

Can I add the people I work with?

Yes. Invite a collaborator, an assistant or a partner by email. They sign in with their own email, use the tools you have added and see the same setup you do. Billing, buying tools and inviting others stay with you.

What do I actually pay in month one?

$49. Your assessment is included, and there is no setup fee and no first-month surcharge.

Stop paying for the tool you stopped using.

You have bought software before, set it up properly, and quietly stopped opening it. That was not a failure of yours. It was built around somebody else's way of working, and there was never a setting for yours.

$49 a month. Your first month includes your assessment, your results are yours to keep whether you stay or not, and you have thirty days to change your mind.
