    The decision that matters

    Shopmonkey explicitly sells a Class 4–8 Heavy Duty add-on, so it should not be dismissed as auto-only. Fullbay packages heavy-duty workflows and data connections across Basic, Pro and Elite; Shopmonkey’s heavy-duty add-on requires a separate quote.

    Mixed automotive and truck shop

    Demonstrate a passenger-car inspection and a commercial-truck job in both. In Shopmonkey, include the Heavy Duty add-on and a plan with inventory/time tracking before evaluating fit.

    Shop hiring more technicians

    Compare paid user roles, not just base fees. Shopmonkey lists included licenses and $20 additional users; Fullbay additional Full User prices depend on tier.

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Request matched quotes with heavy-duty data, inventory, time clocks, payments, migration and all staff. Do not compare Fullbay Basic against a Shopmonkey base plan that omits required work.

    Use the same job in both demonstrations

    1. Create a representative unit and repair, including mileage/engine hours where relevant, inspection photos and an estimate revision.
    2. Assign two technicians, issue an in-stock part, order a missing part and capture labor across more than one day.
    3. Obtain a sample customer authorization, complete an invoice and reconcile the payment or fleet statement without sending a live request.
    4. Export the completed history and an open repair. Confirm attachments, accounting totals, permissions and contract exit terms.
