Free Tailoring Software: What You Can Do on a Free Plan
By the ZeDaq.ai team · · 5 min read
On this page
Free tailoring software lets you keep client records, take measurements, track orders and send invoices without paying a monthly fee, as long as you stay inside the plan's limits. On ZeDaq.ai's Free plan, every tailor tool is included, and the limit is how many measurements, invoices and try-ons you can use each month.
This guide explains what you can do for free, where the limits sit, and when it makes sense to pay. For the full list of features, see the ZeDaq.ai tools for tailors.
What does the Free plan include?
The Free plan costs $0 and includes the same tailor tools as the paid plans. The difference is the monthly allowance.
| What you get | Free plan allowance |
|---|---|
| Client CRM | Included |
| Orders and delivery calendar | Included |
| Measurement links | 3 measurements a month |
| Invoices | 5 invoices a month |
| Virtual try-on | 3 try-ons a month |
| ZeDaq Business app for iOS and Android | Included |
These figures come from the live ZeDaq.ai pricing page, checked November 2026. When you reach a monthly cap, that action pauses until your next billing cycle or until you upgrade.
What can a tailor actually do with it each month?
A free plan suits a tailor who is just starting, or one who wants to test software before moving the whole workshop over. Here is a realistic month on the Free plan:
- Add every client to the CRM, with their contact details.
- Send three new clients a measurement link they open on their own phone, with no app to install.
- Create orders with a deposit and a delivery date, and see them on the calendar.
- Send five invoices in the currency you trade in, such as NGN, GBP or USD.
- Check orders and clients from your phone in the ZeDaq Business app.
Where are the limits on free tailor apps?
Most free tools limit something. Before you commit to any free tailor app, check these points:
- Volume caps. How many clients, measurements or invoices can you create each month?
- Branding. On ZeDaq.ai, the pricing page lists a logo on invoices as a Growth and Scale feature.
- Data export. Can you take your client list with you if you leave?
- Phone access. Is there a mobile app, or only a website?
- Currencies. Can you invoice in your local currency and in foreign currencies?
If a tool is free but stores measurements in a format you can't get back, it may cost you more later. For a wider view of what paid tools charge, read what tailoring software should cost.
How does the Free plan compare with the paid plans?
Paid plans raise the monthly caps. All prices below are monthly, from the current plan list.
| Plan | Price | Measurements | Invoices | Try-ons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
| Micro | $14/mo | 30 | 10 | 20 |
| Starter | $49/mo | 100 | 30 | 75 |
| Growth | $129/mo | Unlimited | Unlimited | 650 |
| Scale | $299/mo | Unlimited | Unlimited | 2,000 |
Every paid plan has a 3-day free trial with no card required. If you don't upgrade, your account moves to the Free plan, so you don't lose your client records.
Who is the free plan right for?
The Free plan works well for:
- A new tailor with a few clients a month.
- A designer who wants to test measurement links on real clients before switching.
- A workshop that wants to try the mobile app before buying a plan.
It is less suited to a busy shop that sends dozens of invoices a month. Alteration shops, for example, often handle many small jobs a week. If that is your business, the guide to software for alteration shops covers what to look for at higher volume.
Is free software better than WhatsApp and a notebook?
Many tailors already run their business for free on WhatsApp chats, Excel and paper books. Those tools cost nothing, but measurements and deposits get lost in long chats.
Free tailoring software gives each client one record, with measurements, orders and invoices in the same place. You can still talk to clients on WhatsApp. For a side-by-side view, see ZeDaq.ai compared with WhatsApp Business.
How do you start on the Free plan?
Getting started takes five steps:
- Sign up for a ZeDaq.ai account.
- Add your first few clients, or start with the next client who walks in.
- Send one measurement link to a client and check the result.
- Create an order with a delivery date and an invoice.
- Install the ZeDaq Business app on your phone and sign in.
Once you know the tools fit your workflow, decide whether the free allowance is enough or whether a trial of Micro or Starter makes sense.
