The Best Auto Detailing Software in 2026: An Honest Roundup

There's no single best auto detailing software. There's the one that fits how you work: solo mobile or a three-bay shop, mostly maintenance washes or mostly coatings and PPF, one location or four. This roundup covers the tools detailers actually use, what each one costs as listed on its own website, and who each one suits. Yes, we make one of them. We've tried to be fair to the others, and to say plainly where they do things Brilla doesn't.

How to choose, before you look at any of them

  1. Count your users. Per-user pricing can triple the cost when you hire. Check what your team size costs, not the headline price.
  2. List your must-haves. QuickBooks? Online booking? Commission? An Android app? Rule out tools that lack one before comparing anything else.
  3. Know your work mix. Coating and PPF-heavy shops need warranty tracking and inspection photos. Mobile maintenance businesses need booking, deposits and recurring visits.
  4. Check how you'll get your data in. If you're switching, see whether you can import your customers. More in switching detailing software.

Brilla

Best for: mobile detailers, detail shops and ceramic coating installers with a small team who want detailing-specific tools at one price.

Brilla is $49/month or $490/year with unlimited team members. It covers online booking with per-vehicle pricing, quotes and invoices, card payments by QR code through a Whop connection (3.0% + $0.30), ceramic coating warranty tracking with renewal reminders, maintenance plans, per-job commission tracking and an Automations page of switch-on follow-ups. What it lacks: deposits at booking (on the roadmap), QuickBooks sync, route optimization, an Android app (an iPhone app is on the way), a card reader, and support for more than one location. See the roadmap for what's next.

Jobber

Best for: detailers who also run other services, or who need QuickBooks and route optimization.

As listed on Jobber's pricing page, Core starts at $49/month with no commitment or $29/month billed annually, for one user, with extra users at $29/month. Jobber lists QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, route optimization on Connect and up, Tap to Pay, and native iOS and Android apps, and has an auto detailing page. It's a general field-service tool, so detailing-specific features like coating warranty tracking aren't part of it. Full comparison: Brilla vs Jobber.

Housecall Pro

Best for: larger teams that want payroll, marketing and financing add-ons in one place.

As listed on Housecall Pro's pricing page, Basic starts at $59/month billed annually ($79 monthly) for one user; Essentials is $149/month annually for five users, and Max $299/month for eight. QuickBooks sync and commissions start at Essentials; recurring service plans and route optimization are on Max. It also offers payroll, postcard campaigns and an AI answering service as add-ons. Full comparison: Brilla vs Housecall Pro.

Urable

Best for: detail, PPF and tint shops that want a detailing-focused system with unlimited users and multi-location management.

As listed on Urable's pricing page, plans are Express at $70/month, Pro at $110/month and Enterprise at $183/month, all with unlimited users. Online booking and QuickBooks start at Pro; commission tracking and recurring billing are on Enterprise. Urable lists multi-location management on every plan, which Brilla doesn't offer, and has iPhone and Android apps. Its homepage names auto detailing, PPF, window tint and marine detailing.

OrbisX

Best for: detail, tint and PPF shops that want warranty tracking and payroll in a single all-features plan.

As listed on OrbisX's pricing page, it's one plan at $100/month, described as limited-time pricing, billed monthly with no contract and a 30-day trial. Texting through Twilio or Dialpad and some pay-per-use features cost extra. Its features page lists online booking, a customizable warranty system, deposits and gift cards, QuickBooks Online, payroll with tips and commissions, and iOS and Android apps. OrbisX describes itself as built by detailers and tinters.

Tint Wiz

Best for: window tint and PPF shops first, detailers second.

As listed on Tint Wiz's site, it's $150/month flat with unlimited users and a 30-day trial. It names window tint, PPF, ceramic coatings and auto detailing, and lists QuickBooks, automatic review requests by text and email, and iOS and Android apps. If most of your revenue is film, it's built around your work.

Mobile Tech RX

Best for: mobile reconditioning techs (PDR, wheels, interior repair) who work with dealers more than retail customers.

As listed on Mobile Tech RX's plans page, Getting Started is $39/month per admin plus $15 per extra user, Standard $99 plus $29, and Pro $199 plus $29, with a 5-day trial. QuickBooks and tech pay start at Standard. Customer online booking is listed as "not yet" on its scheduling page, so it's a weaker fit if your customers book themselves.

Square Appointments

Best for: a simple booking page and payments, if you already use Square.

Square Appointments lists a booking website, appointment reminders, recurring appointments, multi-location scheduling and a waitlist. Its pages are written for beauty, health and general service businesses rather than detailing specifically, and they don't mention vehicle-level pricing or coating warranties. We couldn't read a current price from its pricing page, so check squareup.com directly.

So which should you pick?

  • Solo, mostly maintenance, already on Square: Square Appointments, or Brilla if you want detailing-specific tools.
  • Mobile detailer with a small team: Brilla, for one price, rain checks and commission. See mobile detailing software.
  • Coating installer: Brilla or OrbisX, both with warranty tracking. See ceramic coating business software.
  • Tint and PPF shop: Tint Wiz or Urable.
  • Several locations: Urable, Jobber or Housecall Pro today. Brilla is one location per account for now.
  • Need QuickBooks: Jobber, Housecall Pro (Essentials and up), Urable (Pro and up), OrbisX or Tint Wiz.

Questions detailers ask

What is the best software for a mobile detailing business?

It depends on team size and must-haves. For a small mobile team that wants booking, card payments and commission at one price, Brilla is built for that. If you need QuickBooks or route optimization, look at Jobber or Housecall Pro.

Which detailing software has unlimited users?

As listed in October 2026: Brilla, Urable, OrbisX and Tint Wiz all include unlimited users. Jobber, Housecall Pro and Mobile Tech RX price by user or include a set number per plan.

Which detailing software tracks ceramic coating warranties?

Brilla tracks coatings and sends renewal reminders. OrbisX lists a customizable warranty system. Check each tool's own feature pages for the details.

Can I switch software without losing customers?

Usually, yes: export a CSV from your current app and import it. Brilla's import tool recognises Jobber, Housecall Pro and Square exports.
