Bill the work as it happens.
The deposit, the draw, the balance, billed as the job moves. Customers pay partials on their own and the money lands back on the job. No more chasing a check by text.
Free sends the bill.
Pro runs the billing.
Free drafts and sends invoices that stay readable for good. Pro takes over the day a flat invoice can no longer follow a job that bills in parts.
The first deposit you would have chased by text is the day the upgrade pays for itself.

What is progress billing?
Progress billing splits one job into the parts you bill as the work moves: a deposit up front, a draw at a milestone, and a balance at the end. PaidUp runs those parts off the signed proposal, so each invoice matches the real scope and the real progress, not a flat lump sum.
Q.1What does PaidUp cost, and what is free?
Free drafts and sends invoices that stay readable for good. Pro is zero dollars plus 1% of volume, and it adds progress billing, the deposit, draw, and balance schedule, self-serve partial pay, and auto-reconcile to the job. No setup fees, no contract.
Q.2Can the customer pay part of an invoice?
Yes. Self-serve partial pay lets the customer pay what they can, when they can, right from the invoice. The balance updates on its own and the payment reconciles to the job, so the deposit you used to chase by text settles itself.
Q.3Do invoices tie back to the job?
Yes. Each invoice runs off the signed proposal and reconciles to the job on its own. The scope, the progress, and the money stay on one thread, and the record is kept for good.
Q.4How is the 1% charged?
The base is zero dollars and the price is 1% of the volume you collect. You pay only when money moves, so the cost tracks the cash in your account, not a flat monthly fee whether you bill or not.
The next bill follows the work.
Answer five questions and Vyan Builder sets up your workspace: invoices ready, partial pay on, the spine live. Send your first invoice the same hour.
The deposit you used to chase by text is the one self-serve partial pay collects on its own.
