How to choose the right Tire Base plan?

This process works in apps: TB One

This article will teach you how plans are sized and how to pick between a single app and the TB One bundle.

Every Tire Base app sells on the same shape of plan — usually Free, Pro, and Ultra, though the live names and numbers on the pricing page are what count. The plan controls two separate things. First, monthly usage — how much app activity (lookups, saves, and route Map Runs) you get before small overage charges start, similar to minutes on a phone plan. The multiplier and allowances are on the live price list, not a memorized 5× or 20× rule. Second, shop capacity — how many invoices or work orders, unique part numbers, users, and locations the plan includes. Current prices always live on the pricing page and in the website chat with Pete.

Steps

• Decide which areas you need: front counter (TB POS), accounting (TB Books), warehouse (TB WMS), distributor connections (TB Sync), outside sales (TB CRM), or reporting (TB Reports).
• If you need two or more of those areas, compare the TB One bundle — it includes Books, POS, WMS, Sync, and CRM together.
• Estimate your monthly volume: invoices or work orders per day, how many unique part numbers you stock, and how many people log in.
• On tirebase.io, open the chat and say "help me pick a plan" — Pete asks those same shop questions and quotes live prices from the public price list (never memorized numbers).
• Or open https://tirebase.io/pricing, pick the app, and match that volume to the live plan cards. Use the activity calculator if you want to convert shop volume into estimated monthly activity plus a buffer.
• Start on the plan that fits today. You can move up later without losing data, and overage is billed in small increments rather than cutting you off.
• For multi-location groups or anything custom, request Enterprise pricing at https://tirebase.io/contact instead of self-serve checkout.

Conclusion & best practices

Do not over-buy on day one. Most shops start on Pro, watch a full month of real activity, and adjust. Watch capacity limits (users, locations, unique part numbers) as closely as usage — those are the limits shops usually hit first when they grow.
