No credit card required · migrate from OrbisX in days, not weeks
Why shops switch
Honest. We don't trash OrbisX— they've earned their reputation. These are the friction points that push shops to look for an alternative.
OrbisX's $100/mo flat rate is listed as limited-time promo pricing with no published standard rate — one tier, priced for a single shop
Beautifully designed but slower-paced — newer features ship behind enterprise contracts
No real franchise tools — royalty calculation, NACHA ACH file export, and broadcast messaging (SalesThumb's HQ add-on) or a franchise-sales CRM (separate add-on)
Multi-vertical works but the per-vertical depth is uneven
Single flat tier means no tiered growth path — SalesThumb's Growth/Pro/HQ tiers add AI features and multi-location tooling as you scale
Where SalesThumb wins
First-party AI in the workflow — Smart Pricing, photo-to-quote, daily owner brief.
Sales Matrix: a customer-facing kiosk that turns walk-ins into guided, visual quotes.
Real franchise-style HQ dashboard (org → shops → consolidated reporting & royalty).
Multi-vertical in one shop — a mixed tint + detail + PPF business runs it all in one place.
Custom multi-shop pricing available.
Where OrbisXstill wins (we'd be lying to deny it)
If those are deal-breakers for you, stay with OrbisX. If you can live with them, the rest of this page tells you why SalesThumb is worth the switch.
Migration
Most OrbisX shops are fully on SalesThumb within 10-14 days of starting the trial.
1. Request your OrbisX export
OrbisX provides data exports on request. Allow 1-3 business days for the export to land. Customers + vehicles + invoices come as CSV; appointments + workflow data may need additional formatting.
2. Match your service catalog
OrbisX's single-tier catalog maps cleanly to SalesThumb's good/better/best quotes. Most catalogs port over in 1-2 hours.
3. Wire integrations + parallel run
Payments transfer; messaging (Twilio if you used it) ports; QuickBooks reconnects. Run both tools for 1 week, then cut over. Most OrbisX shops fully on SalesThumb within 10-14 days.
FAQ
Three reasons: (1) a tiered growth path with published pricing at every tier — OrbisX's single flat rate is listed as limited-time promo pricing with no published standard rate, (2) no credit card required — try the full product before committing, (3) a franchise-grade HQ add-on with royalty calculation + NACHA ACH export (plus a separate franchise-sales CRM add-on) that OrbisX doesn't ship. If you're a single-shop happy with OrbisX's current pricing, OrbisX is excellent. If you're price-sensitive long-term or growing into multi-location, SalesThumb is the move.
Yes — plain-English booking on the public booking page (customer types 'darkest legal tint on my Tesla', AI matches to your menu) + AI slot-fill (cancellation → AI ranks waitlist + drafts a one-tap text for top 3 candidates) + AI quote-suggest. Different surface than OrbisX's bot but covers similar use cases with deeper workflow integration.
No — SalesThumb has its own customer mobile app (Expo, iOS + Android). Customer logs in with name + phone (passwordless 6-digit SMS code). Sees their active job's progress, appointments, quotes, invoices, and warranty status. Same core use case as OrbisX's customer app, in a single all-in-one app that staff also use.
Yes — multi-vertical by design. Enable any combination of tint / PPF / ceramic / detail / wrap / general / flat-glass from your shop settings. Catalog, scheduling lanes, warranty tiers, and reporting all flex per vertical.
OrbisX is our design north star — we explicitly cite them in our internal style guide. The light surfaces / hairline borders / theme-token-driven palette / brand-gradient ST badge / fintech-style typography all reflect that. We're not better-looking than OrbisX yet; we're different (more density, faster page loads). Try the trial and decide for yourself.
