Chaz vs Square
Square takes payments. Chaz runs the job.
Square is great at the checkout counter, and it's one of the few that speaks Spanish. Chaz is built for work done at the customer's home: crews, recurring visits, customer chat and pay-by-link invoices, with a website included.
Built around the job
Square is built for every kind of seller. Chaz is built for home services: properties, recurring services, your crew on a map and a chat with each customer.
Your own domain, included
Square Online is free on a Square address, and your own domain needs a paid plan. Chaz includes a custom domain at no cost.
An assistant that does the paperwork
Ask Chaz by voice or text, in English or Spanish, to book a visit, send an estimate or follow up on a payment. You approve it before anything goes out.

When Square is the better pick
Chaz isn't for everyone. If one of these sounds like your business, stay where you are.

- You need a point-of-sale register, inventory or card-reader hardware.
- You already run your whole business on Square and only send the occasional invoice.
Common questions
Is Chaz really free for my business?
Yes. There's no subscription, no contract, no setup fee and no per-user fee, and Chaz doesn't take a cut of your jobs. Stripe's standard card processing applies to the payments you collect, as it does with any app that takes cards.
What does my customer pay?
A flat $1.75 service fee per payment, shown at checkout before they pay. That fee is how Chaz makes money.
Who handles the card payments?
Stripe. You connect your own Stripe account, payouts go to your bank, and Stripe's standard rates apply. Haven't set up Stripe yet? Chaz Collect holds your customers' payments for you and sends them to your bank once Stripe verifies you.
