Most grooming software makes money from locking you in — long contracts, forced payment hardware, data you can't export. We make money by building software so good you never want to leave. No per-booking fees. No per-user fees. No processing markup. Month-to-month.
Starter Plan — $99/mo
All of this. One price.
Every decision we made was to solve a problem groomers actually have.
Other platforms bolt AI onto software built in 2015. We built Talopet from day one around AI. The AI Command Center has 35+ tools connected to your live data — type "book Max for a full groom Thursday at 2" and it handles the rest. The AI Phone Receptionist picks up every call 24/7, books appointments, and answers questions with your real services and availability. Not a script. Not a chatbot. A coworker that knows your entire business.

$50-200/mo extra
Other platforms force you onto their payment hardware and skim 2-3% of every transaction. On $15,000/month in services, that's $300-450 going to your software company every month. Talopet takes zero cut. Bring your Square, Stripe, or Clover terminal. We don't touch your revenue. The only platform that treats your money like it's yours.
2.5% of every transaction, forced hardware
0% — bring your own processor, keep your rates
That's $4,500 saved per year just on processing fees
Your client list, contact info, pet records, and booking history are 100% yours. We never sell your data, gate it behind exports, or use it to market to your customers. Full CSV export anytime — clients, pets, appointments, transactions — no support ticket needed. Month-to-month contract. Cancel anytime, no exit fees. Leave and take everything with you. We earn your business every 30 days.

And when you need help, you reach a real person who understands grooming software — not a script reader in a call center.
