Cadence gives you a business number, answers calls and texts in your own voice, fills your calendar, sends the estimate, gets it signed and takes the payment. Start with nothing but a phone. Grow to several locations without changing tools. Every feature on every plan; the plan only changes your per-minute and per-text rates.
You have skills, a truck or a chair, and a personal cell number. Cadence gives you a business number registered for texting, a business email, a booking link, a one-page website with your work and prices, professional quotes and invoices, and a way to take cards. You look established on day one, and you keep your personal number private.
The phone rings while you are on a ladder. Cadence answers it, books inside your real availability, texts back every missed call, sends reminders, chases reviews, and turns quotes into signed jobs and paid invoices. You see who did what on every record.
Each location or agent gets its own account and its own books. You get the roll-up, one invoice for all of them, team logins with roles, and data sharing that each account controls. One tool for the owner of three shops or the broker with thirty agents.
You're on a roof, with a patient, or driving. The phone rings, goes to voicemail, and that customer just calls the next name on the list. Cadence picks up instead.
Drag the sliders. Watch the meter run. This is the money quietly walking out the door every time the phone rings out - calculated from real industry data, not guesses.
The number, the email, the website, the booking page and the way to get paid. Every one of them on every plan.
Bought, registered for texting with the carrier paperwork filed for you, live in days. Keep your personal cell private. Or keep the number you already have, on any plan, no setup fee.
Your own domain, or a Cadence address, or your own mail server. Your customers see your name, not a free-mail address, and your sending is kept separate from every other business on Cadence.
Pick a design, add your photos and prices, publish on your own domain. Hours, booking and reviews stay in sync with the app.
Your availability rules, with consent captured with the booking.
Accept a tier, sign, pay by card, leave a tip.
Text-to-pay links, deposits and installments, QR at the door, Tap to Pay on your Android phone, cash and check recorded.
The ask goes out after the job, replies are drafted for you, on your Google Business Profile.
The first business to respond usually wins. Cadence gives you a business texting number, texts back every call it misses within seconds during the day (calls missed after 9 pm are texted at 8 the next morning, inside the quiet-hours rules) in words you can edit, and replies to new leads from your website form and from Angi and Thumbtack lead emails.
Books inside your availability, gives ballpark quotes within the floor and ceiling you set, takes a message, and rings you first if you prefer. Every plan.
Pick the voice that answers your calls from a set of natural voices, masculine and feminine, in English and Spanish, and hear it before you choose. Give it a name and a personality, and it stays the same assistant on the phone, in texts and on your website.
SMS and email in your brand voice, grounded in what you do and do not offer. It remembers each customer's history (past jobs, invoices and the equipment at their place), quotes only from your price book, and books from your real calendar. Rehearse it before it goes live, and switch it off for any customer who wants a person.
A customer texts in Spanish, Cadence answers in Spanish. Eight languages, both directions, on texts and email: Spanish, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Russian and Tagalog. You read and write English. Phone calls switch to the caller's language too, once you turn on bilingual answering.
SMS and email for every customer in one thread; RCS when the phone supports it.
Share a booking link customers use around the clock. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook for two-way sync, subscribe any iCal feed (Apple included) so Cadence can see it, and let the AI book only the slots you are actually free - with appointment reminders and a rebooking follow-up when an appointment is canceled.
Per-tech calendars, a board, a live map, and a customer link that says on my way, arrived, running late, with an ETA that refreshes.
Photos, notes, line items, equipment and properties on every job, a close-out recap when it is done, and QuickBooks two-way so nothing is typed twice.
Three tiers with a recommended option and an expiry. The customer accepts online with a recorded agreement, and the estimate converts to a job on acceptance.
Give customers a "Report a problem" link, or let them text it in. Each request lands on your board as a Support job, you ask follow-up questions by text, and one click tells the customer it's fixed.
Each person sees their own statement; you see the book.
Fourteen triggers to choose from (new lead, job status, warranty, birthdays, quiet customers, ratings, job forms and more), plus the messages Cadence sets up for you and you can edit: the missed-call text-back, on-my-way, job started, payment and refund receipts, overdue-invoice, review and membership messages. Text or email steps, quiet-hours holds, group enrollment.
By SMS or email, with results that show what was suppressed and why.

Pro pays for itself at 333 minutes of AI calls a month. AI usage is billed by how much work it does. A quick draft costs a fraction of a cent.
