PeelBoard vs Shopmonkey
Seventeen rows, two columns, every cell taken from Shopmonkey’s own public pricing and feature pages. No disparagement, no invented gaps — where they have something we do not, it says so.

Who each one is for
Shopmonkey is built for auto repair shops; PeelBoard is built for tint, PPF, ceramic coating, detailing, vinyl wrap and flat-glass shops. That single sentence explains most of the table below.
Where they actually differ
Shopmonkey is a serious repair-shop platform: parts ordering, canned services, technician workflow, service profitability and parts-margin reporting, and an Interchange-plus payments model. If you run a repair shop that also sells tint, it can make sense.
For a film or styling shop it is the wrong shape and the wrong price. Inventory is tracked by SKU, MPN and unit count with no length, footage or roll unit anywhere — so a 60-inch roll of film has nowhere to live. There is no cut optimiser, no PPF coverage tracking, no hosted website, no customer referral programme and no auto-billed memberships. And it starts at $239 a month for three seats against PeelBoard Business’s $99 for five.

Moving your customers over
Be careful with anyone who promises a one-click migration from every system on earth. PeelBoard has named imports for Tint Wiz, Square and Goldie, which skip anyone you already have so re-running them is safe. Shopmonkey is not one of them. If that is where you are coming from, email admin@getpeelboard.com and we will tell you honestly what can and cannot come across rather than finding out after you have cancelled.
