Every client and every quote, in one place

- Send quotes to your own clients; they sign online, no account needed
- Import your client list from a spreadsheet
- Notes and the full history of your work with each client
Past clients remember you — on time
When the job is due again — gutters every six months, an A/C tune-up every year, a repaint every few years — Genie emails your past client in your business name with a button to ask you for a quote.
- Only clients who agreed: a checkbox when they confirm the project is done, or your confirmation for your own clients
- Unsubscribe link in every reminder — built to follow Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL)
- Clients never have to share their home records with you — you see only your own work

Project leads — what they cost
The same on every plan. You see the lead fee on every request before you claim it.
| Genie project leads | |
|---|---|
| Lead fee | $25–$249 + HST, one time, based on job size: Small $25 · Standard $59 · Large $99 · Major $199 · Premium $249 |
| Commission on the job | 0% — the client pays you directly |
| Monthly subscription | None needed for leads — Business plans are optional |
| Quotes, contracts, change orders, invoices | Included |
| Time to quote | 24 hours after you claim the lead |
Lead fees are final once you claim a lead. Genie connects clients with independent contractors and does not collect or hold project payments.
Job software you pay for every month vs. Genie
Most job-management apps charge per user to organize the clients you already have — and push their own card processing. Genie brings you new clients and runs your crew, schedule, quotes and contracts, at a flat price.
| Genie Business | Typical job-management software | |
|---|---|---|
| New clients | ✓ Verified project requests near you | ✗ You find your own |
| Price | ✓ Flat: $39/mo for 3 people, $89/mo for 10 · free to join with pay-per-lead | Per-user plans and paid add-ons that grow with your team |
| Crew app for workers | ✓ Free login per seat — workers don’t register or get vetted for your projects | ✓ Usually, per user |
| Scheduling with “Find a time” | ✓ Free people, nearby jobs, holidays and weather | ✓ On higher plans |
| Quotes, signed contracts, change orders | ✓ Included, with Ontario consumer-protection terms | Varies by plan |
| Sales pipeline | ✓ Included in Business | Often a paid add-on |
| Client CRM and automatic follow-ups | ✓ Included — quotes and balances, in your business name | Often on higher plans |
| QuickBooks | ✓ QuickBooks-ready exports of customers, invoices, payments and hours | Sync on most plans |
| Repeat-work reminders | ✓ In your name, consent-based, CASL-ready | Often a paid marketing add-on |
| Getting paid | ✓ Keep your own payment provider — no processing markup, no lock-in | Often their own card processing, with fees on every payment |
| Commission on your jobs | ✓ 0% | Card-processing fees on payments |
| Verified reviews on every quote | ✓ From finished projects only | ✗ Not a marketplace |

Common questions
How much does a project lead cost?
A one-time fee based on the size of the job — from $25 for small jobs to $249 for the largest renovations, plus HST. You see it before you claim it.
Does Genie take a commission on the job?
No. Genie charges the lead fee only. The client pays you directly — e-transfer, cheque or your own payment link — and you keep 100% of the job.
Is there a monthly subscription?
Not for leads. Joining is free and you pay only for leads you claim. The Business plan ($39/mo, or $390/yr) and Business Plus ($89/mo, or $890/yr) are optional — for running your crew, schedule and clients in Genie. Both start with a 30-day free trial, no card needed.
How do seats work?
A seat is one person on your team, including you. Business includes 3 seats and you can add more for $9/month each, up to 10. Business Plus includes 10 seats and extra seats are $7/month each, with no limit.
I have more than 10 people — what then?
Business Plus covers any size: 10 seats included, then $7/month per extra person. For 25 or more people we also set up a Company plan with you — tap “Talk to us” in the app.
Do my workers have to register with Genie or be verified?
No. For your own projects, workers just get a free crew login from your invite — no Genie registration, background check or payout account. They see only the jobs you assign them. (Genie’s on-demand jobs are different: everyone on those must be a verified Genie pro.)
How do I pay my crew?
However you already do. Your clients pay you directly and you pay your crew at the rates you agreed — Genie never touches project money. On Genie on-demand crew jobs, you can choose “Business crew” so your team members’ shares are paid to you.
Can my past clients get reminders from me?
Yes, on the Business plan — when they’ve agreed. Genie asks clients with a checkbox when they confirm a project is done; for your own clients, you confirm they agreed. Every reminder has an unsubscribe link. Clients never share their Home Passport with you: you only see your own work with them.
Does it work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Download your customers, invoices, payments and crew hours as files QuickBooks Online imports (Settings → Import data). Your QuickBooks account stays yours — there’s nothing extra to pay Genie for it.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel in the app — your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for and your data is kept. Lead fees are separate and work the same on every plan.
Will I get on-demand or hourly jobs?
Not unless you want them. Contractors who join for project leads only see project requests. You can turn on on-demand jobs later in your business settings.
What does the client see when I quote?
An itemized quote: line items (quantity × price), up to three options, HST, the total, the deposit, start date, duration, warranty, what is and isn’t included, and ✓ badges for your insurance, business number, HST number and licence.
How do I get paid?
Directly by the client. Split the job into stages; when you mark a stage done with photos and the client approves it, that payment is due to you. Record payments you receive and Genie keeps the invoice up to date.
Can property managers and realtors use it?
Yes. They can send your quote to the owner or their client in one link; the owner approves the option they want.
