A question we get often: why is mobile app for sitters — a feature plenty of paid software charges extra for — just free forever in OPERATE?

Our reasoning

Mobile app for sitters gives sitters everything they need for a visit — instructions, GPS check-in, messaging — from their phone in the field. That’s core to actually running a pet business, not a nice-to-have upsell, so it shouldn’t sit behind a paywall.

How we think about pricing

OPERATE’s model isn’t built around nickel-and-diming small pet businesses for the basics. The features that matter for daily operations are simply included.

The bottom line

If a feature is essential to running your business well, we don’t think you should have to upgrade to get it.

See everything included, free. Explore OPERATE.

Mobile app for sitters is included in OPERATE at no cost, permanently — not a limited trial or a feature that gets paywalled once you’re dependent on it. We built OPERATE around the belief that core operational tools shouldn’t be a recurring expense that scales against you as your business grows.

That commitment shapes how we prioritize development: features earn their place by being genuinely useful, not by their ability to justify a subscription tier.
