High-approval financing for mid-ticket repairs
Sunbit focuses on approving a wider band of credit profiles for mid-size tickets โ the $800 to $8,000 repair where the homeowner has no plan for the money. Approval rates across non-prime customers are its differentiator, and the application runs in a minute on a phone.
Service contractors with repair tickets too large for a card and too small for a loan application
Higher approval across credit tiers comes with higher cost somewhere โ understand the fee structure and what the homeowner pays.
Field service platforms ยท Web-based
Integration lists change often and "integrates" can mean anything from a real two-way sync to a one-way push through Zapier. Ask the vendor which fields move, in which direction, and how often.
Run one real job through it end to end โ not the demo data. Quote it, schedule it, do it, invoice it, take the payment. Then ask the only question that matters on day 400: did the people who have to use this every day find it faster than what they do now? Friction you notice in week one compounds forever, and tool-hopping costs more than any feature gap.
