We do not offer demos. Instead, you can sign up for a 14-day free trial right away and experience the full platform for yourself. No credit card is required, and you get access to everything from day one so you can see exactly how it works with your own data, your own jobs, and your own customers.

What support is available if I need help?

Live chat support is available directly within the application during working hours. Whether you have a question about a feature, need help setting something up, or run into an issue, you can get help without leaving the platform.

Is there a minimum commitment or lock-in period?

No. LaunchControl is month-to-month with no long-term contracts or lock-in periods. You can cancel at any time. We believe in earning your business every month through the value the platform delivers, not by tying you into a contract.

Show Fully Fitted Pricing

Present tyre options with clear fitted pricing on your website so customers understand the total before they book, helping reduce friction and price-check phone calls.
