At $99/month, Sayyara saves you $1,200/year vs Tekmetric Start ($199/mo), $3,000/year vs Grow ($349/mo), or $4,080/year vs Scale ($439/mo). Tekmetric requires upgrading to higher tiers for advanced features. Sayyara includes everything in one plan - no tier upgrades needed.
Our customer portal is completely FREE and included. Customers can request estimates, view DVIs, approve work, and pay online - reducing phone calls by 60%. Tekmetric charges extra for similar functionality.
One simple plan with all features included. Tekmetric has 4 tiers ($179-$409/mo annual; $199-$439/mo monthly) where features are locked behind higher plans. With Sayyara, you get everything at $99/month - no need to upgrade for advanced features.
Sayyara focuses on what shops actually use daily, without overwhelming complexity. Our modern, lightning-fast interface requires less clicks to get the job done. Plus, start immediately - no sales calls or setup delays.
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's when Tekmetric might be the better choice:

Tekmetric has more experience with large multi-location franchises. Sayyara is perfect for independent shops and small franchises (1-3 locations). Our multi-location support is coming Q2 2026.
If you have $200-400/month to spend and want every possible feature and integration today, Tekmetric offers a mature, feature-rich platform with years of development.
Yes! We offer free data migration. Our team will help you export your customer data, vehicle information, and service history from Tekmetric and import it into Sayyara. Most migrations complete within 1-2 days.
