Homade vs ProWorx: Which Is Better in 2026?

Homade is a browser-based CRM and ERP for beauty salons, independent specialists and salon teams. Its interface is in Russian. The product connects appointments, customer records, services, payments and operational reports so staff can work with the same information across the client visit, rather than copy it between a calendar, a contact list and a cash spreadsheet.

The appointment journal is organised around specialists and rooms. It supports online booking, service durations, buffers and breaks, and a waiting list. Client cards hold visit history and details relevant to repeat appointments, including beauty notes, colouring formulas and photographs. These are working records for the salon, rather than a separate marketing contact list.

Financial tools cover payments and the information needed to calculate staff compensation. Other sections support stock records, loyalty programmes, certificates and subscriptions. Management reports help a salon inspect revenue, average transaction value and staff workload. Available functions depend on the selected plan, so a team should compare the tariff with its own workflow before importing a live database.

The Solo plan is permanently free for one specialist, with an unlimited number of clients. It includes the online booking page, appointment journal, services, payments and client cards. This permanent plan is separate from the fourteen-day trial of paid functionality offered at registration. Paid tiers increase the available team size and add functions such as employee roles, payroll, stock, analytics and integration options.

SMS messages are charged separately. Published prices are in Russian roubles, and the monthly equivalent changes with the selected billing period. The official tariff section shows the total charge and duration together; these should be checked when comparing a one-month subscription with an annual payment.

A public, read-only demo is available at https://app.homade.ru/demo. It uses fictional people and appointments. The attached screenshot shows the real demo interface, allowing a prospective user to inspect navigation without providing a customer database. It is not a production salon report.

Homade is developed by Levitsky Concept. Questions about plan limits, migration from another booking system and the functions needed for a particular salon can be sent to homade@levitsky-c.ru. Individual integrations and messaging providers should be confirmed before committing to a migration.

What problem it solves

Salons and independent specialists need to coordinate appointments, client histories, payments and staff schedules. Homade groups these records and offers a permanent free plan for a single specialist.

ProWorx is all-in-one software for small and early-stage service businesses — the plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, handymen and other trades who are tired of running their company across five disconnected apps. Instead of a separate tool for scheduling, estimates, invoicing, payments and reviews, ProWorx puts the whole job in one place, with one login.

The product is built around the real loop a service business runs every day: a customer reaches out, an estimate goes out, the job gets scheduled, the work gets done, the invoice goes out, the payment comes in, and a review gets requested. Because every step lives in the same system, nothing falls through the seams between apps — the estimate that never got followed up, the completed job that never got invoiced, the happy customer who was never asked for a review.

What ProWorx does

• Customer requests captured in one inbox instead of scattered across texts, calls and email.
• Estimates you can build fast and send professionally, with follow-up handled for you.
• Scheduling & jobs for the office and the field, mobile-friendly for techs on site.
• Invoices & payments — estimates convert to invoices, and you can take payment by card or ACH.
• Reviews with Google Business Profile integration, so requesting a review is part of the workflow, not a sixth app.
• One customer record tying every request, job, invoice, payment and review to a single profile.

Pricing

ProWorx keeps pricing flat and predictable: $49 per month for up to five users, with a discounted $39 per month for veterans and first responders. New accounts get two months free, and qualifying businesses in operation for less than 18 months can get up to six months free. There is no commission on your jobs — the software costs the same whether you do five jobs a month or five hundred. Payment processing carries only small per-transaction fees (a $0.10 ProWorx fee, a $0.50 flat ACH fee, and standard third-party card rates of roughly 1–3%).

Who it's for

ProWorx is aimed squarely at owner-operators and small crews — the two-to-five-person service businesses that feel the "tool sprawl tax" most, paying for a stack of apps that don't talk to each other. It is designed to be usable on day one by the least tech-savvy person on the team, because adoption in the field is what actually determines whether software pays off.

Founded in Nashville by Army veteran Alex Vaysben, ProWorx reflects a clear design philosophy: one loop, one login, no seams. For a small service business that wants to stop managing software and get back to managing the business, it is a straightforward way to consolidate the whole job into a single platform.
