Best Window Tint Shop Software

It depends on what your shop needs beyond tint. SalesThumb is the strongest option for shops running tint alongside PPF, ceramic coating, detail, or wrap, with state VLT compliance, film-roll inventory, and a franchise-grade HQ tier built in — see current plans on our pricing page. Tint Wiz ($150/mo flat) and TintPro ($79-199/mo across three tiers) are solid tint-focused alternatives for single-vertical shops; OrbisX ($100/mo flat) suits detail-forward tint shops; Urable ($70-183/mo) is the cheapest option if you just need generalist CRM basics, though it has no tint-specific compliance or film-inventory tooling. Full 9-option comparison above.

SalesThumb — it's built specifically for window film installers, not adapted from a general repair tool. You get state VLT compliance, automated SMS, and customer photo galleries on Starter ($199/mo); film roll inventory in feet, AI quote-suggest, and the 12-month sales playbook unlock on Growth ($399/mo). Plans start at $99/month per shop.

Yes — SalesThumb is a direct TintWiz alternative with a substantially deeper feature set: scheduling, invoicing, payments, inventory, warranty, marketing, multi-location HQ, AI tools, mobile installer app. See our head-to-head at /compare/tintwiz.

Yes. The HQ add-on ($599/mo) adds aggregate dashboards across all shops, royalty calculation, a NACHA ACH file export to collect royalties, catalog push from HQ to child shops, and broadcast messages. The separate CRM/Franchise Sales add-on ($799/mo) covers the franchise-development pipeline for teams selling new units.

Yes — but multi-vertical support unlocks on Growth ($399/mo) and up; Starter is single-vertical. Once on Growth, enable any combination of tint, PPF, ceramic coating, detail, wrap, or general service from your shop settings. The catalog, scheduling lanes, and reporting all flex per vertical.

The functional bar for "end to end" is one system instead of stitched-together tools: shared customer/vehicle record, scheduling that handles multi-day PPF jobs, film-roll inventory tracked by the foot or square foot, warranty-tier certificates, and integrated payments together. SalesThumb is built to be exactly that for tint and PPF shops, with PPF supported alongside tint from the Growth tier up — see the vendor comparison above for how we stack up against other platforms in the space.

Per-state legal-tint thresholds are built in. When a customer picks a film at quote time, the system checks the front-window, side, and rear VLT minimums for your shop's state. If the selection is out of spec, the system flags it and auto-attaches a signed customer waiver to the invoice. There's also a tint-laws widget you can embed on your booking page so customers see the legal limits before they pick.

Yes. Connect payments is built in — customers pay deposits to lock in bookings, full payments via SMS-delivered pay link, tips via the customer photo gallery. Funds settle directly to your shop's bank, not through SalesThumb.

Two-way SMS via Twilio is built in. Appointment reminders fire 24h + 1h before. STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE keywords are honored at the carrier level. Every shop texts from its own approved number (no shared texting number): in Settings → Texting, apply for a new text number or use your current business phone number; SalesThumb handles the 10DLC registration, and texting turns on once it's approved. Shops that already have Twilio can connect their own account (Bring Your Own Carrier) instead, where 10DLC registration happens directly with Twilio (1-6 weeks carrier review).

SalesThumb starts at $99/month per shop. TintWiz is $150/month flat, one tier. ShopMonkey starts around $239/month. OrbisX is $100/month flat (listed as limited-time promo pricing, one tier). Detailed plan-by-plan comparison at /pricing.
