Capabilities and growth
Your plan sets operating scale. During onboarding you can select multiple business capabilities—such as garage, mobile mechanic, detailing, vehicle sales or recovery—without changing to a separate vertical plan. Supplier access and basic inventory are included. The wider supplier marketplace is coming soon.
| Existing expansion | Current catalogue price |
|---|---|
| Another active recovery or transport driver | €8 /month |
| Up to 10 live vehicle listings | €10 /month |
Optional visibility boosts
Boosts add clearly marked promoted distribution. They never buy the permanent number-one organic result; organic ranking continues to consider relevance, location, availability, reviews, profile quality, response rate, service match, freshness and engagement.
| Boost | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Boost | 7 days | €4.99 |
| Profile Boost | 7 days | €7.99 |
| Featured Profile | 30 days | €14.99 |
| Boost credits | Pack price | Effective cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5 credits | €19.99 | €4.00 / credit |
| 10 credits | €34.99 | €3.50 / credit |
| 25 credits | €69.99 | €2.80 / credit |
Boost credits will make it simple to promote vehicles and profiles from one reusable balance. We will let businesses know when purchasing opens.
How payment fees work
Escargo platform fee
Taking payment through Escargo is optional. Subscribed plans pay 1.5% of each eligible payment Escargo processes. A payments-only Escargo Profile account, where offered, pays 1.75%. The underlying payment-processing costs may also apply and are passed through at cost, never folded into our fee. Cash, bank transfer and your existing card terminal remain supported and carry no Escargo payment fee.
Stripe processing
Stripe's card-processing cost is separate and passed through at Stripe's actual cost for each payment. It varies by card type, so we never promise one fixed rate. Your statement always shows the real amount.
Tap to Pay, in development
In-person card payments on a compatible phone are an intended Escargo Payments capability and are not available yet. Tap to Pay remains disabled. Escargo's production payment infrastructure is being prepared, but real Escargo payments are not switched on. Cash and your existing card terminal keep working exactly as they do now.
No payment, no percentage. The fee only applies when you actually get paid.
Pricing questions
Are card payment fees included in the Escargo fee?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Escargo charges a 1.5% platform fee on eligible payments it processes for subscribed plans, or 1.75% if you use Escargo for payments without a subscription. The underlying payment-processing costs are charged separately at cost. Your payment statement shows both amounts separately, so you always see exactly where every cent went. If you take payment by cash or your own terminal, no Escargo payment fee arises at all.
Which plan is right for most garages?
Escargo Business at €39 a month suits most established automotive businesses. Your plan sets the scale of the workspace; vehicle sales, workshop and recovery are capabilities selected around what the business actually does. Larger teams, more locations and advanced controls belong in Pro.
Is there a contract or an annual price?
Plans are month to month, with no minimum contract, and you can cancel any time. Paid plans include a 15-day free trial, and Escargo Profile includes the first three months. There is no annual price yet. If that changes, it will be published here first.
Can I take card payments in person yet?
Not through Escargo yet. Tap to Pay remains disabled and real Escargo payments have not been switched on. Your existing card terminal and cash keep working alongside Escargo and carry no Escargo payment fee.
Do I need to pay to appear on Escargo?
Escargo Profile is a separate €5.99 network-presence product, with its first three months free, offered through Escargo's legitimate acquisition and onboarding flow. Paid placement is clearly labelled Promoted or Featured and does not replace organic relevance.
