Pricing
We are the contractor. There is no per-door fee.
1Stop is the vendor of record on the work. We buy the job from the provider, sell it to you, and keep the difference. You approve one invoice a month. There is no software subscription to defend in a budget review and no seat licence to renew.

The model
You are buying the work, not the software.
Most of this category sells a ticket queue. Property Meld publishes $1.60 to $2.00 per unit per month on its own pricing page, and AppFolio and Buildium include work orders in the base plan. All of it is real software. None of it sends a plumber.
1Stop takes the other side of that line. We are the contracted party on the job. We hold the certificate of insurance, we are the party responsible for putting work right, we pay the vendor, and we invoice you once. The margin on the work is how we make money, and it appears on the invoice as a line rather than sitting inside a rate you cannot see.
There is a consequence worth stating plainly. A visible margin is a line a controller can question, and a hidden markup is not. We would rather you see it than find it.
What you are not paying for
A per-door subscription
No fee that scales with doors you own rather than work we do.
A monthly floor
No platform fee and no minimum. A month with no work is a month with no bill.
A per-seat licence
Add the whole regional team. A user who only reads costs nothing.
Setup or onboarding
Putting a property on the board is a phone call and a spreadsheet.
A second work-order tool
Keep the one inside your property management system. Ours is where the vendor and the proof live.
A minimum door count
One building is a real account. Fifty units is a real account.
The margin
What we keep, and what moves it.
1Stop buys the work from the provider and sells it to you. The difference is the margin. On the jobs we have priced it runs 18% to 22% of the invoice. It moves with the trade and with how much of the job our own crew performs, and it sits on your statement as its own line every month.
| On this work | The margin | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Subcontracted trade work | 18% to 22% | The typical case. A licensed vendor does the job and 1Stop carries the contract, holds the insurance file and stays responsible for putting the work right. |
| Work our own crew performs | Varies more | Cleaning and turns run by 1st Choice. Set job by job, and printed on the same line as everything else. |
| Emergency and after-hours | Unchanged | The margin does not move for a Sunday night. The trip fee below is the only thing that gets added. |
| Above $1,000,000 a year | Negotiated | A growing account should never have a reason to re-bid a contract it already has. |
Nothing on this page is a quote. A signed service agreement is what binds, and the statement it produces is where your own number is written down.
Why it is a range
A coordination fee and a contractor's margin are not the same purchase. A software middleman routes a ticket and charges 10% to 15% for the routing. We sign the contract. We pay the vendor on net-14 while you pay us on net-30, we carry the insurance and the licence file, and we are the one you come back to if the work has to be done twice. That is priced as a margin, not as a commission.
It is published as a band because it behaves like one. A trade job with a subcontractor sits near the middle. A property where our own crew does the cleaning and the turns moves further. We are not going to print one tidy percentage here and then send you a statement that disagrees with it.
The vendor side
No listing fee, no lead fee, no network percentage. Commercial janitorial nets 10% to 15% and the trades net 5% to 9%, so any fee taken off the vendor eats most of what they earned and they will find a way around it. A vendor who feels squeezed is a vendor who takes your building direct.
Their side of the deal is one company to invoice instead of five, and payment on net-14. Against construction invoice factoring at 12% to 18% annualised, those terms are worth real money on their own.
On the invoice
Every line that can appear.
The full list. If a charge is not here it does not exist, and if that changes this page changes with it.
1Stop margin
Its own line on the statement, with the percentage next to it, under the work it came from.
18% to 22%
After-hours emergency trip
Per dispatch outside business hours. It covers getting a crew out of bed, and it is the only surcharge on the list.
$95 flat
Materials and parts
Itemised on the statement, with the supplier line behind it.
At cost
Vendors pay nothing to join.
1Stop is the contracting party, so a vendor invoices one company instead of chasing five property managers, and gets paid net-14. That is the whole recruiting offer, and it costs them nothing to accept.
What vendors getOne statement a month.
Every job across every property lands on one monthly statement, each line linked back to its work order, its photographs and its timestamps. You approve one document instead of reconciling twelve invoices against work nobody recorded.
How a job reaches the invoiceWorked example
A 250-unit community with $150,000 of covered spend.
Not a quote. An illustration of how the margin behaves against a spend figure, and what sits on the other side of the ledger.
What it costs
| Covered service spendeverything we run for you, on one invoice | $150,000 / yr |
|---|---|
| The work itselfvendors, crews and materials, at cost | $120,000 / yr |
| 1Stop margin at 20%the middle of the range, fully subcontracted | $30,000 / yr |
You write one cheque for $150,000 and $30,000 of it is ours. For comparison, a per-door work-order subscription at $1.60 a unit runs $4,800 a year on the same property and dispatches nobody. The two are not the same purchase, and anyone comparing them line for line is comparing a tool to a contractor.
What sits on the other side
| Average asking rent, OrlandoYardi Matrix, May 2026 | $1,767 / mo |
|---|---|
| Cost of one vacant dayrent ÷ 30 | $58.90 |
| Turns per year, 250 units43% turnover, Zego 2026 | 107.5 |
| Five days saved per turn58.90 × 5 × 107.5 | $31,659 / yr |
Recaptured rent, before a dollar is saved on the work itself. Rent is Yardi Matrix, May 2026. The 43% turnover rate is Zego's 2026 survey of 630 property managers. Both are published benchmarks. Neither is a result of ours.
Said plainly
Two things we are not going to pretend about.
The margin is a range, not a rate card.
It moves with the trade, with how much of the job our own crew performs, and with what a vendor charges us that month. 18% to 22% is where it has landed on the work we have priced so far. The figure on your own job is on your own statement, next to the job, every month. If your invoice ever disagrees with this page, the invoice is the one that is true, and we would rather hear it from you than not hear it.
We have no track record to price against.
1Stop is pre-launch. Every figure here is either our own structure or a published industry benchmark with its source named next to it. There is no case study, no customer count and no satisfaction score, because there are no customers yet. We are not going to invent any of the three.
