Retainers and tasks, paid on their own
Most of your income is a monthly retainer or a one-off block of work, not an appointment. Soopaspace sells the retainer as a card subscription, lets clients buy task blocks on demand, and invoices the extras.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

The retainer, paid on a card every month
Sell a monthly package, ten hours, admin support, inbox management, as a subscription the client pays by card. It renews on its own each month until they cancel, so the income is there without an invoice to send or a payment to chase.
- A monthly package paid on a card
- Renews on its own until they cancel
- Income in without chasing
- The client joins from your page
One-off work, bought on demand
On-demand means you sell the work, not a time slot. A client buys a task block, a two-hour job, an inbox clear-out, a travel booking, and pays upfront, and you do it within a window you set. No appointment is booked, so it suits work that is handed over rather than done live.
- Sell a task block at a set price
- The client buys it and pays upfront
- No appointment, nothing in the diary
- You deliver within the window you set
Anything extra, invoiced
Went over the retainer, or did a one-off project? Turn it into an invoice the client pays by card from the email, with paid and overdue tracked, so nothing you did goes unpaid.
- Invoice extra work in a couple of taps
- Paid by card from the email
- Paid and overdue tracked for you
- Nothing you did slips through

Common questions
- Can I sell a monthly retainer?
- Yes. Set it up as a subscription with its own price and how often it renews. The client joins from your page and pays by card, and it renews each month or year until they cancel.
- How do I sell a one-off task without booking a time?
- As an on-demand service: the client buys a task block at a set price and pays upfront, and you do it within a window you set, with no appointment.
