The problem
Every piece of software in the trades requires a trial, then a subscription, then a decision before you've even seen if it works for you. You've signed up for free trials that charged you before you remembered to cancel.
Why we built it
Solo is free forever — not a trial. Full voice logging, job tracking, invoicing, profit math, 1 hour of Talk per month. You don't need to upgrade unless you want the growth features (website, DIRT Line, CRM). Try it until you trust it.
How it works
- 1
Download DIRT on the App Store or open app.dirttrades.com. No credit card required.
- 2
Set up your business (trade, target rate, name) — takes two minutes.
- 3
Log a job by voice. Create an invoice. See what the job paid you. That's DIRT.
What changes for your business
Before
Every app wants a credit card before you know if it's worth your time.
After
Free forever on Solo. Full core app. Upgrade if and when it makes sense.
Common questions
Is DIRT actually free or is there a trial that turns into a charge?
Solo is free forever — not a trial. Full voice logging, job tracking, invoicing, and profit math. No credit card required to download. Upgrade only if and when a paid feature earns it.
What's included in the free Solo plan?
Full voice logging, job tracking, invoicing, profit math, EHR calculation, the stats dashboard, and 1 hour of Talk per month. Everything you need to know what a job made you.
Do I need to pay to see my job profit numbers?
No. Profit math, effective hourly rate, and the Worth It Score are all in the free Solo plan. You don't need to upgrade to find out what a job made you.
What do the paid plans add that Solo doesn't have?
More Talk time, a business phone line, a website builder, local SEO, lead capture, and CRM features. Solo covers the core job economics. Paid tiers are for contractors who want DIRT to bring in new work too.
What do I need to download and start using DIRT?
Search for DIRT in the App Store. No credit card, no signup wall beyond creating an account. Download, set your trade and target rate, log your first job.
What if I try Solo and decide I don't need the paid features?
Stay on Solo. The free plan doesn't expire. Most contractors who try DIRT stay on it because the core job profit tracking alone changes how they price work.
