FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions. Visit our full FAQ for more details.
Thungo is built for service providers — individuals and registered trade businesses such as solar installers, electricians, plumbers, and builders — and for clients who hire them. Providers can offer contracting, handyman work, material sales, or equipment rental from one account. Clients post jobs, review quotes, and follow projects on the same system.
Create your account, then choose Client or Service Provider. Service providers next say whether they work as an individual or a business, and what they offer (handyman, contracting, materials, or equipment). All you need is a working email address. Suppliers and staff do not sign up on their own — suppliers are set up by our team, and staff join through an employer invitation.
Every new account starts with a free 14-day trial that includes every feature. When the trial ends, you choose between the Starter, Professional, and Business plans. Current prices are listed on the pricing page.
