Strut publishes this comparison. Vendor pages reviewed October 5, 2026. Tekmetric lists digital authorizations and invoicing in Start; its Grow plan adds labour guides and time/job clocks.
Workflow and fit
Strut’s published $49 CAD/month launch platform connects booking, jobs, customer records, invoices and payments. Run a familiar job in both systems, then repeat it with a changed scope or unpaid balance.
| Item | Strut | Tekmetric |
|---|---|---|
| Daily workflow | Demonstrate booking through payment. | Use the same job and exception. |
| Commercial terms | Confirm launch offer and shop-count terms. | Request the required tier, currency and billing term. |
| Dependencies | Confirm import and integration scope. | Confirm required subscriptions and add-ons. |
Workflow and fit
Keep Tekmetric on the shortlist if it demonstrates a required integration, inspection, inventory or reporting workflow that Strut does not support. A lower subscription price does not make an unsupported requirement disappear.
