ROI calculator
What PortaPro pays back in a year, on your numbers.
Pick the operation that looks like yours and tick the tools you pay for today. The calculator adds up what changes: software you stop paying for, a 13th billing cycle, a lower all-in card processing rate, and the office hours and missed stops that come back. Every price is a 2026 vendor list price. Every benchmark is sourced at the bottom of the page.

Billing and payments
How you bill today
Everything your customers pay you in a year. The profile fills this from units × rate × 13 cycles.
Charged on top of the card processor, so today you pay both: 2.9% to Stripe plus this. PortaPro's card rate is a flat 2.25% all in — available on the Growth plan — with no per-transaction fee and free ACH. Source

The 13th cycle
Twelve invoices a year, or thirteen.
A year holds 365 days. Divided into 28-day cycles, that is 13.04 billing cycles, not 12. A unit that sits on a jobsite all year earns one full extra cycle when it is billed every 28 days instead of every calendar month. Same unit, same route, same customer, one more invoice.
Most field-service software is built around the calendar month, so the 13th cycle either never gets billed or breaks the books when someone tries. PortaPro's rate-card billing runs on 28-day cycles from day one. The cycle rollup, the invoice dates, and the reports all agree on it.

Methodology
Every number on this page is sourced.
We would rather be conservative and right than aggressive and unbelievable. Tool prices are the published list price from each vendor, last verified in 2026. The rest of the math uses industry benchmarks, cited next to each one.
