What the prices do not tell you

Markate: The base plan is deliberately thin. Online booking, the customer portal, proposals, Zapier and a texting number are $10 a month each, so price the add-ons you actually need before comparing. Every employee past the owner is $5 a month on top. Plan prices re-read in Chrome on 2026-09-29 on both toggles and unchanged. The page's HTML also carries a feature list with the $10 add-ons and per use marketing charges (an SMS blast at a $10 setup fee plus 5 cents a segment, ringless voicemail at $10 plus 20 cents each, drip texts at 10 cents), but that section did not render in Chrome that day, so those charges are not recorded as fees. No card rate is published: payments run through Square.
Kickserv: The pricing page opens on annual billing, so the $60, $119 and $199 it shows first are annual rates. Billed monthly, the same plans are $75, $149 and $249. Processing $1,000 or more a month through Kickserv takes 5% off the plan. Each plan card says "Save 20% with annual subscription" (read by a plain fetch of the public page on 2026-09-29, because the shared browser is not allowed to open kickserv.com). The Kickback 5% off for processing a monthly minimum through Kickserv is a payments rebate rather than a term discount, so it stays here and not in the discount list. No card rate is published.
