Operaite is built by Brent J. — for the people doing the actual work.
Operaite is a small-business dashboard run by an independent solo developer in the United States. The goal is simple: give service-business owners — contractors, cleaners, electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, handyman shops — one place to handle invoices, scheduling, reviews, and the rest of the daily work, for $29/month, with low per-seat add-ons ($5/mo per extra team member) and no contract.
Who’s behind it
I’m Brent J., the developer who builds and maintains Operaite. I’m based in the United States and I work on this full time. There’s no team, no investors, no remote contractor pool. When you email support, the reply comes from me.
I built Operaite because the existing options for service businesses are either bloated enterprise software priced per-seat at $65–$300 a month (Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan), or scattered single-purpose tools you have to bolt together. Neither matches how a one-truck operation actually runs. So I built the version I wished existed.
What Operaite does
- Free tools you don’t need an account for — invoice generator, hourly rate calculator, markup calculator, job cost, late fee, mileage, sales tax, profit margin. Browse them →
- Paid features for $29/mo — scheduling, accounting, online booking, AI review responses, client proposals, marketing audit, social media AI. One dashboard, one price, no contract.
- Trade-specific guidance — landing pages and playbooks for plumbers, electricians, HVAC, cleaners, painters, contractors, and more.
What Operaite isn’t
It’s not enterprise software. There’s no field-service management for 50+ techs, no GPS dispatch, no quoting software for $200K commercial jobs. If you’re running a 50-person fleet, you want ServiceTitan. If you’re running 1–10 people and don’t want to pay $200/mo just to invoice, that’s where Operaite fits.
Sister project
I also build ProjectCalc — a free library of construction estimating calculators (concrete yardage, beam spans, voltage drop, invoice math, the works). Same mission, different audience: ProjectCalc is for the person doing the math; Operaite is for the person running the business.
