Why DiCoop

Our name is our business model

Digital

Software built for your business

One app shaped around how you actually work, from a growing library of proven modules.

Intelligence

Software that works for you

It fills in details you've already entered, reminds customers when they're due, and shows what really makes money.

Co-operation

We succeed together

We invest our people and technology first, and your monthly band grows only as your business does.

$0

to design, build and set up your app

We invest in your growth

We're not a vendor sending you a bill. We put our own technology and people into your business, and we profit only as you succeed.

  • We invest our IT resources

    Our developers, software library and hosting build and run your app. You pay $0 for the build.

  • We profit from your success

    Each month you pay for what your app did for you. Your band follows your business: it grows when you're busy and drops when you're not.

  • We choose who we invest in

    We review every application and build prototypes for the businesses we're confident we can grow.

Custom app

From your bottlenecks to your own app

  1. Submit your application

    Tell us about your business and what slows it down. Applying is free.

  2. We evaluate your needs

    We match each bottleneck to the module that fixes it and estimate the money at stake.

  3. Selected? Try your prototype

    We build a working prototype at our cost. Try it before you commit to anything.

  4. Agree your terms

    Before delivery we agree your band rates and your starting prepaid credit. From then on, each month's band follows your app's activity and is deducted from your credit; top up or pay month by month after that.

  5. We deliver, and it grows

    Your subscription starts on delivery. New modules can be added as you need them; we quote each one before we add it.

One app, built from modules that already work

Every app we build adds to our library, so yours starts from tested modules instead of a blank page. You get only the modules you need, joined into one app with one login.

  • Scheduling

    Book and move appointments and jobs.

  • Quotes & invoices

    A quote becomes the invoice in one tap.

  • Customer records

    Every customer, visit and note.

  • Payments

Pricing

You commit only after you've seen your app

Two ways to start, one subscription model. Your monthly subscription covers your app and all its included modules. We never take a cut of your revenue.

Existing app

First month free

then pay each month for what it did for you

Custom app

$0 development cost

then pay each month for what your app does

Starts with prepaid service credit at delivery, bonus included; the amount is in your quote.

Both paths: each month you pay for what your app did for you. Your band follows that month's activity (jobs scheduled, messages, active customers) and is billed after the month ends. No per-user fees, no extra fees.

  • Billed after each month ends, for the band that month's activity reached: from your second month for DiCoop Dispatch, from delivery for a custom app. A custom app starts with a prepaid service credit at delivery (bonus included; the amount is in your quote).
  • No extra fees: no activity fees on top and no per-user fees. Watch your activity and your band build up in the app during the month.
  • Your band follows your business: it grows when you're busy and drops when you're not.
  • Most of the value stays with you, and you see the math before you agree.
  • $0 to build and no per-seat fees.
  • Export your data any time. Month by month, cancel any time; with prepaid credit, we refund the paid share of your unused balance.

Build my App

Questions owners ask

Is building my app really free?

For a custom app: yes. We pay for the design, development and setup. Applying is free, and so is your prototype if we select your business. Your monthly subscription starts the day your app is delivered. A custom app starts with a prepaid service credit at delivery (bonus included; the amount is in your quote). For DiCoop Dispatch, setup and data import are free, and so is your first month.

How is my price worked out?

For a custom app, we agree your band rates before delivery, based on what your app needs to do. A custom app starts with a prepaid service credit at delivery (bonus included; the amount is in your quote). For DiCoop Dispatch, your first month is free and billing starts from your second month. Either way, each month's band follows that month's activity and is billed after the month ends. Exact band rates are in your quote. We never take a cut of your revenue. Your band follows your business: it grows when you're busy and drops when you're not.

Are there extra fees?

No. There are no activity fees on top. Your subscription covers your app and all its included modules, and your band follows your activity: you see it in the app as the month goes, and you're billed for the band you reached after the month ends. Exact band rates are in your quote.

How does prepaid credit work?

Prepay any amount and we add bonus credit on top; the bigger the prepayment, the bigger the bonus. After each month ends, that month's band is deducted from your credit. Your credit never expires. When your credit runs out, you go back to paying month by month, or top up any time. Your paid credit and bonus credit are used up in proportion, so if you cancel, we refund the paid share of whatever balance is left. Bonus amounts are in your quote.

Why would you build it for free?

For a custom app: because it's an investment. We put our developers, software and hosting into businesses we're confident we can grow, and earn our return through their subscription over time.

How long does it take?

For a custom app: weeks, not months. Most of your app comes from modules we've already built and tested. For DiCoop Dispatch: we set it up for your shop in days.

Do I own the software?

You subscribe to your app, and we keep it running and up to date. The code library stays with us. Your data is always yours, and you can export it any time.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Month by month, cancel any time. With prepaid credit, we refund the paid share of your unused balance. Either way, you can take all your data with you.

What if my business changes?

New modules can be added to the same app as you need them; we quote each one before we add it.

Do you charge for each person on my team?

No. There are no per-user fees: adding a new hire or a second location doesn't add seat charges. Your monthly activity sets your band.
