Why compare

When shops look for a Tekmetric alternative

  • Booking to paid invoice workflow
  • Practical independent-shop focus
  • Straightforward $40 CAD/month plan

Best fit

Where Strut fits

Strut is strongest when a shop wants booking, repair orders, CRM, invoices, online payments, and scheduling connected without buying a heavy enterprise implementation.

  • One connected operating loop
  • Canadian launch pricing
  • Demo-led workflow mapping

Honest note

When a larger platform may be the right call

If a shop needs a very mature enterprise ecosystem, deep third-party integrations, or complex reporting already standardized around another platform, it should evaluate those needs carefully.

  • Map must-have integrations
  • Compare onboarding time
  • Compare total monthly cost
