Trade Reply is an AI keyboard for contractors. Answer customer texts from the app you are already in, in your voice, with your real pricing. HOW IT WORKS 1. A customer messages you in Messages, WhatsApp, Facebook, wherever you talk to them. 2. Take a screenshot of the conversation. 3. Switch to the Trade Reply keyboard and tap Analyze. It reads the whole thread from that screenshot. 4. It tells you what they are actually asking and ranks what to do next: give a price range, book the estimate, ask for photos, hold your price. 5. Pick one. The reply is written for you and dropped straight into the message box. You send it. Trade Reply drafts; the send button is always yours. BUILT FOR THE TRADES Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, roofers, landscapers, painters, cleaners, handymen, remodelers and general contractors. WRITTEN THE WAY YOU WRITE Tell Trade Reply your trade, your services and your real pricing when you set it up, and every draft uses them. No more "call for a quote" when you already know the number. 23 CONTRACTOR ACTIONS • Work out what they need: spot an emergency, ask the one question that turns a vague message into a job. • Talk about money: quote a range, explain what is included, hold your price when someone names a cheaper one. • Get it on the calendar: book the estimate, confirm the window, move it when the day changes. • Keep them: chase a quote that went quiet, answer a complaint properly, ask for the review while they are still happy. • Finish it cleanly: take the deposit, or turn the job down and refer them somewhere useful. REPLY IN THEIR LANGUAGE A customer writes in Spanish, and the reply comes back in Spanish. Trade Reply writes in 19 languages. WHY A SCREENSHOT A keyboard extension cannot read your conversation. iOS does not allow it, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. So Trade Reply works from the screenshot everybody already knows how to take: nothing to copy, nothing to paste, nothing to re-type. A REAL KEYBOARD FIRST Trade Reply is a complete keyboard: letters, numbers, symbols, caps lock, and a return key that does the right thing in whatever app you are in. All of that works with Full Access turned off. Only the AI panel needs it. PRIVACY • Every retention setting starts off. If you never open Settings, Trade Reply stores no conversations, no replies and no screenshots. • The keyboard never reads while you type. Every read happens because you tapped something that asked for it. • The AI panel does not appear in password fields, PIN pads, or fields an app has marked private. • Replies are drafted by AI. You agree to that before the keyboard is ever set up, and you can decline and keep typing. • You can export your data, delete your conversation history, or delete your account outright from inside the app. TRY IT, THEN TRADE REPLY PRO Your first five conversations are free. After that, the AI panel needs Trade Reply Pro. Typing on the keyboard stays free. Pro includes conversation, screenshot and photo analysis, all 23 contractor actions, your own services and pricing, saved replies, and Match My Style. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: • Weekly: $9.99 per week • Yearly: $99.99 per year, including a 3-day free trial Prices shown are for the United States and may vary by region; the price for your country is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
