Questions about Selk

Selk is a job-management app for small contractors and trade crews of 1–10. It runs the whole job — new job, estimate, schedule, crew, invoice, payment — from your phone.

Selk is built for small contractors in the trades — electricians, plumbers, HVAC, handymen, painters, landscapers, remodelers, cleaners and other small crews of 1 to 10 people (70+ trades and home services).

Selk costs $29/month for Solo, $79/month for Contractor (owner plus up to 5 workers), and $129/month for Contractor 10 (owner plus up to 10 workers). The first 100 companies lock in founding prices of $19, $49 and $89 per month for as long as they stay subscribed.

No. Every feature is in every plan — QuickBooks sync, card payments, the booking page, smart arrival alerts, van stock, six languages and everything else. Plans only differ by how many workers you have. The price you see is the whole price. (Card payments carry Stripe’s normal processing fee; Selk adds nothing.)

No. Workers are always free on every Selk plan. There are no per-seat fees, and the worker app is separate from the contractor app.

Each worker sees only their own assignments, the job address and notes, their hours and their pay. Workers never see prices, estimates, or another worker’s data.

Yes. Smart arrival alerts send you a notification with the time when a worker reaches the job address. There is no live map of the drive — just the moment they arrive. Arriving never clocks anyone in; workers clock in and out from the app.

Selk is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Haitian Creole. Each person picks their own.

Yes. Selk keeps working on the job site without signal — clock in and out, today’s jobs and your changes are saved on the phone and sync automatically when the connection returns.

Customers approve estimates with a tap and pay invoices by card through Stripe, straight to the contractor’s own bank account. Selk takes 0% of payments (Stripe charges its normal processing fee). Contractors can also record cash, Zelle and transfer payments, including partial payments and deposits.

Yes. Selk syncs customers, invoices, payments and job expenses with QuickBooks Online.

Yes — 14 days free, no credit card required.

Selk is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. The iPhone version is in testing now.

Selk was built by a working electrician in Houston, Texas, for the way small trade crews actually work — and because the big apps cost too much and did too much.

That is our plan for the next phase: once enough contractors run their business on Selk, we plan to open it to homeowners, so the same app that runs your jobs will also bring you new ones. It isn’t available yet. Today every company already gets its own booking page and QR code for customers to request work.

Selk is made for crews of 1–10: one simple path from new job to paid, a flat price with workers included instead of per-user fees, every feature in every plan, and a free worker app. No setup calls, no contracts.
