getSoapy vs LayCor

getSoapy is software for local service businesses that brings customer and job administration together with payments. It includes customer and team management, automatic invoicing, work scheduling, recurring jobs, route optimisation, estimate building, expense tracking, documents and a customer portal. Bank reconciliation uses Nordigen to display transactions and match transfers to invoices; getSoapy says the connection cannot access bank accounts or make payments. Customers can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which getSoapy identifies as PCI Service Provider Level 1 certified. The service runs on web, Android and iOS, with apps linked for iPhone and iPad as well as Android. Plans are Starter at £4.90/mo, Advanced at £9.90/mo and Pro at £14.90/mo. There is no free plan, but a trial provides one month of Soapy Pro, 25 lead credits and 100 SMS credits without payment details; it can be cancelled at any time.

LayCor is a platform for party and event rental businesses to manage bookings, inventory, delivery, invoicing and customer details.
