Changelog
What changed in Ready
Every release, in plain words. Features marked “behind a flag” exist in the product and are switched on per account.
Releases
- v165 November 2026
A 30-day free trial, and the Founding 20
- New accounts start with a 30-day free trial. No paid invoice through Ready by day 30? We add 30 more days, once. We email you 5 days before it ends.
- Founding 20: the first 20 new accounts get 2 more months free and keep $79 a month while their subscription stays active. The count left is on the Ready page.
- Accounts opened before this keep the terms they signed up with.
- v159 2 November 2026
Live in 5 minutes, never miss a lead, one place to approve
- Auto-setup: paste your website, Google Business Profile or Facebook page and Ready drafts your booking page (name, services, area, hours, published starting prices). You check, you publish. Trade templates for cleaning, painting, handyman, pressure washing, landscaping, junk removal, gutters, window cleaning and detailing, labelled as starting points. Behind a flag.
- Approval inbox: every AI or automation draft (follow-ups, replies, reschedules, review asks) waits for your tap. Edit, skip, swipe on mobile, approve similar items in bulk. Each one says why it was written. Behind a flag.
- Today brief at 6am and a Monday money brief, in-app and by email: jobs, addresses, unpaid invoices, paperwork expiring within 60 days, one suggested action. Behind a flag.
- Missed-call text-back: a local Canadian number per account, your own number stays yours (tap-to-dial forwarding codes by carrier, a test step, a prepaid-plan fallback). Every text carries your business name and “Reply STOP to opt out”. Built; texting stays off until reviewed.
- CASL consent ledger: who you may send marketing-type messages to, with expiry dates; STOP honoured instantly; exportable.
- Import now brings in Jobber open quotes and your products & services list, with a column re-map step.
- Trust: this changelog, a status page, a security page, one-click export, cancel in two taps, your price lock shown in Billing.
- Prepay: 6 months $395 or 12 months $790, unused full months refunded automatically if you cancel. Behind a flag.
- AI budget per account (CA$5/month default) shown in Settings with usage; drafting pauses at 100%, manual flows keep working.
- Request-a-feature board with voting, “You asked, we shipped” notes, help chat that reaches a real person.
- v157 2 November 2026
Portal and deal fixes
