SGL Core vs Office vs Universal: Which Service Business Software Plan Do You Need?
If you need your customers, estimates, jobs and paperwork connected, choose the plan by the actual workflow you need—not simply by the introductory price. Service Growth Lab offers separate monthly plans and a set of optional individual modules. Plan pricing, scope and recurring terms are different from the one-time $99 business toolkits.
Understand the introductory offer before subscribing
Eligible new subscriptions purchased by February 4, 2027 at 12:45 p.m. Eastern are advertised with an automatic reduced rate for the first three billing cycles, followed by the normal monthly rate until canceled under the plan terms. The product's listed variant price may show the regular rate before checkout applies the offer. Verify the actual discount and renewal amount in Shopify checkout before committing; taxes, if applicable, are additional.

Compare SGL Universal detailsHow to choose without paying for unnecessary capabilities
Choose Core when...
You need customer histories, estimates, jobs and scheduling in one place. Examine whether the core workspace covers the exact job and assignment workflow your business uses.
Choose Office when...
You need to connect work on the schedule with invoicing, payment balances and customer-facing office documents. Compare the actual modules included rather than assuming all possible financial functions are present.
Choose Universal when...
You want to evaluate the broadest advertised SGL ONE scope, including records related to jobs, financial activity and follow-up. Compare the capabilities and limitations on the product page; the name “Universal” does not by itself certify every possible business-software function.
Want only one function instead of a whole plan?
Compare the seven individual cloud modules for customer records, jobs, estimates, invoices, payment records, bookkeeping and documents. Each has its own plan price and terms.
Example: a small service business growing from solo work to a crew
When the owner handles every quote, a free calculator or one-time toolkit might meet the immediate need. As the business adds service visits and customer follow-ups, connected records may become useful. If invoices and outstanding balances become difficult to track, compare Office or the relevant individual modules. If a broader integrated workflow becomes essential, evaluate Universal. A subscription is useful only if the actual functionality fits the work.
How does SGL ONE access work?
The store's current cloud listings direct customers to complete Shopify checkout and then use the SGL ONE access guide to register or sign in with the same email address as the order. Access depends on the entitlement of the purchased product. Review the public software preview, current terms, and support information before subscribing.
Frequently asked questions
Is the advertised first-month price the permanent price?
No. The described introductory discount applies to the first three eligible billing cycles; regular pricing follows unless a different valid agreement is displayed at checkout.
Does a Core subscription include every module?
Core includes the functions stated in its product listing. Compare the individual modules and higher plans to find the best fit.
Does a $99 complete toolkit include a free cloud subscription?
No automatic recurring subscription is included merely because a toolkit and cloud plan share the SGL brand. Compare the one-time complete toolkit editions separately.
Can I cancel?
Subscriptions are recurring arrangements governed by their actual checkout and cancellation terms. Review the billing FAQs, support options and applicable Shopify terms before purchasing.
Can I rely on SGL for regulated accounting or tax services?
Use SGL to organize information and review calculations, while relying on qualified professionals for regulated financial and tax services.
