CHRGD vs Franexis

CHRGD automates franchise royalty calculations and collections from sales data in franchisees’ point-of-sale systems. Franchisors can configure royalty and marketing fund rules, including percentages, caps, minimums, deferrals, and grace periods. Collection runs nightly by default, with weekly and monthly schedules also available. A franchisee ledger shows daily sales, royalty calculations, transfer amounts, and transfer status. Active integrations listed include Square, FareHarbor, Stripe Connect, Clover, QuickBooks, and Xero; Lightspeed Retail, Lightspeed Restaurant, Loyverse POS, and Toast are listed as coming soon. Stripe Connect supports ACH and card collection, transfers to franchisor accounts, and platform fee handling. CHRGD describes the product as a progressive web app that works across devices, and its developer portal documents an OAuth 2.0 with PKCE API for live sales, financial, and franchise data. The Free Forever plan has no monthly fees, but a small transaction fee applies to royalty payments processed through the platform. It includes unlimited franchisee locations, POS integrations, automated calculations, and email support.

Franexis is a franchise operations platform for field-service systems, covering CRM, quoting, dispatch, inventory, royalties, and compliance. Its modules include guided lead intake, work orders, drying logs, equipment custody, royalty automation, and compliance workflows, with particular depth for property restoration and support for home services and cleaning franchises. A technician app for iOS and Android shows assigned jobs and supports status updates, labor timers, timestamped photos, and notes. Job details remain readable from a last-known cache when offline, but full offline writing is listed as a roadmap item. Franexis integrates with QuickBooks Online and supports client email and SMS automation, a documented REST API, signed webhooks, and data exports. PSA by Canam Systems onboarding imports are supported, though PSA product data must be brought in by CSV. Plans are billed monthly per active location and include unlimited users; the franchisor platform fee begins at five locations. Launch is $199 a month per active location for 1–4 locations. Growth is $169 a month per active location for 5–24 locations, plus a $1,499/mo franchisor platform fee. Enterprise is listed at $119 a month, with billing described as $119–139 per location per month plus a platform fee.
