Here are some things DETAILERMADE does that we don’t

  • Ability to book a time online. DETAILERMADE allows your customer to see what times are available and book a time, according to their FAQ. We allow your customer to select their preferred date and time and you can confirm.
  • Deposits. On their plans of Choice and up they will allow you to take a deposit. All plans on DETAILERMADE will allow you to take payments by card. It’s 2.99% + 30 cents per transaction. They also charge 30 cents to send funds to your bank. TwoBucket lets your customer pay an invoice by card through your own Stripe or Square account if you’re in the US, without a TwoBucket fee. But we don’t take deposits.
  • Tools for a crew. DETAILERMADE has tools for a team such as payroll and quality checks. TwoBucket has one login for your business.

Where TwoBucket is different

  • Allow customers to request and tell you about the condition of their vehicle. For $20/month your customer can select what vehicle they would like serviced and if there are any conditions. Such as pet hair, stains, odor, sand, heavy dirt, mold, food spills and grease. On DETAILERMADE your customer can request an estimate online, answer questions about the condition of the vehicle and say if there’s any pet hair or stains on their Choice plan which is $99/mo.
  • Photos on every plan. Your customer can add photos to their request. On DETAILERMADE that’s on the Choice plan.
  • Can display prices as you like. You can have your services show as a price, starting at price, a range or you can hide the price.
  • Form on your website. You can embed our form on your website inline, as a pop-up button or as a floating button. Or even just give your customer the link to our form. DETAILERMADE has this as a coming soon feature on their Exclusive plan.
  • Quote them a price. You can send your customer an estimate or a quote from your phone. They approve it online and you convert it to an invoice once the job is complete.
  • Outside the USA. TwoBucket can be used by businesses outside of the USA too. Your page can be in 15 languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese and Arabic. DETAILERMADE is currently only available in the USA. Our text alerts are only available in the USA as well but you can still receive Email alerts.
