ShowUp: No-Show Prevention for Solo Pros

ShowUp is a lightweight scheduling app that automatically sends reminders and requires deposits to deter no-shows for solo field service providers. It replaces manual SMS/calendar juggling with a single tool that syncs with Google Calendar and streamlines booking.

Key Features
  • Automated SMS/email appointment reminders with customizable timing
  • Integrated deposit collection at booking to secure the appointment
  • One-tap Google Calendar sync to keep schedules up-to-date
  • Waitlist and rebooking automation for cancellations and no-shows
Target Users: Solo field service providers (e.g., plumbers, electricians, cleaners, pet groomers) who manage their own scheduling and struggle with no-shows and fragmented tools.
Revenue Model: Freemium: Free for basic reminders and calendar sync; Premium subscription ($15/month) for deposit collection, waitlist, and advanced automation.
