SideWRK is a phone-first app for the money side of a trade business. Build an estimate on your phone, send it for approval, and get paid — by card, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or Apple Pay, with no merchant account and no per-invoice fee. It covers 30+ trades, from mechanics and appliance repair to cleaning, landscaping, and concrete, with real per-trade pricing built in. Free 14-day trial.

From the founder I built SideWRK for the person doing the work with their own two hands. Two jobs a month in the driveway for cash, or six days a week running out of your truck across the whole county — doesn't matter. You should get paid for everything you did, and nothing should slip through the cracks. So write the estimate, get it approved, send the invoice, and get paid — by card, Apple Pay, or straight to Venmo or Cash App with no merchant account skimming off the top. Every job, every customer, every photo and number stays in one place instead of scattered across texts and glovebox receipts. Bring your whole customer list with you and put it to work: copy a message to line up the next job, tee up an honest upsell, send a review request that brings people back. When tax time comes, you're not dumping out a shoebox. Everything you charged and everything you spent is ready to export — a clean record of what you did, and proof of what you can do. I'm blue-collar. I work with my hands, same as you, and I get it. It's early — I read every message that comes in — and my job is to make sure it all lines up, you've got everything, and you're taken care of. I wanted to build something you'd actually use. That's it. — James, founder of SideWRK

Built an estimate on my phone in like two minutes and sending the payment link straight from the same screen feels way smoother than juggling email and a separate processor. Nice that it works for so many trades without making me set up a merchant account first.

how do you actually handle the money side if i take cash or a check on the job, does it still need to go through the app or can i just mark it paid offline
