PeelBoard vs Suds
Seventeen rows, two columns, every cell taken from Suds’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
Suds is built for detailing and auto-styling businesses and is priced per location. PeelBoard is built for tint, PPF, ceramic coating, detailing, vinyl wrap and flat-glass shops, with a price book for each of those trades, and is priced per shop rather than per location.
Where they actually differ
If you run a multi-location detail group, Suds’ per-location model and unlimited users inside each location may suit you. It has online booking with deposits and auto-billed subscriptions, both real.
The cost picture is where it separates. Suds is $199/mo per location before add-ons, and its website product is a separate paid managed service at $149/mo for mobile or $329/mo for a shop, plus $399–999 setup. PeelBoard Business is $99/mo with the hosted shop website, your own domain, unlimited ad creative and the AI email suite included, and film tracked by the foot for the film side of a detailing business.

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. Suds 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.
