AI Performance Intelligence
Executive exclusiveRolling out to Executive membersMost AI tools brag about faster replies. SmallBizSuite measures both speed and quality, so you know your AI is saving real time without quietly costing you clients.
Quantifies actual hours saved per week vs. your baseline. A real number, not just "AI replied faster."
Flags AI-generated replies that triggered a follow-up correction or were edited before sending.
Monitors how often a closed inquiry re-opens within 72 hours, exposing hidden rework.
Identifies clients whose engagement dropped after an AI-handled interaction, before they go silent.
Pairs response-time data WITH quality outcomes in one unified view, because speed without accuracy is a liability.
Every plan includes a $20/mo hosting fee, paid directly to Abacus. Executive adds $297/mo for Ongoing Technical Support & Performance Improvements.

Ownership, defined
“You own it forever” — and we mean it
When we say you own your app, we're not being poetic. Here's exactly what that means, in plain language.
Hosted on a major cloud platform
Your app runs on the Abacus AI platform — independent infrastructure that doesn't depend on Don Short Solutions to stay online.
30,000 free credits, renewing monthly
The platform provides 30,000 credits every month at no charge. Your app keeps running whether or not you have a membership with us.
Your own native database
Your data lives in a dedicated database that belongs to your app. It isn't shared, and it persists as long as the platform exists.
Survives anything — even the founder
Because the app lives on independent infrastructure with self-renewing resources, it continues operating even if Don Short Solutions closes. Your business doesn't depend on ours.
No lock-in. No ransom. Your app, your dashboard, your data, your customers. The optional membership adds coaching, strategy, and priority support — but your app never stops working without it.
Pricing questions
+How much does SmallBiz App Suite cost?
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial so you can explore before you commit. After that it is a one-time purchase, not a software subscription: $297 (Solo), $347 (Team — includes Network Marketing), $597 (Commerce), and $747 (Abacus Pro). Executive is $2,500 one-time plus $297/month for Ongoing Technical Support & Performance Improvements. Every plan also has a $20/month hosting fee, billed directly by Abacus, that keeps your app online.
+Is there an ongoing subscription after I buy my app?
Your app is a one-time purchase — no software subscription (just the $20/month hosting fee paid directly to Abacus). Beyond that, we offer an optional ongoing membership (starting at $29/month) for business owners who want monthly strategy and mindset coaching, resource placement, accountability check-ins, and priority support. It is completely optional and you can cancel anytime.
+Which tier is right for me?
Solo is for a one-person business that needs a professional identity, a contact list, client invoicing, and one goal tracked. Team adds branded cards for your staff, the full Network Marketing module, the sales pipeline and follow-up reminders, and the full MileMarker Goals. Commerce adds an online storefront and an expense tracker. Abacus Pro adds the AI tools and hands-on setup. Executive is for an established business whose owner wants a Digital Technology Officer keeping watch over clients, money, goals, and AI quality every week. Each tier includes everything in the tiers below it.
+Can I start simple and add more later?
Yes. SmallBiz Suite is designed to begin with a professional digital identity and expand into additional tools as your business needs change. Moving up keeps everything you have already built — your card, contacts, invoices, and goals stay in the same account. Review the tier comparison for current inclusions.
+What does the $297/month Executive support plan cover, and what if I cancel?
Ongoing Technical Support & Performance Improvements covers support tickets answered by Don and the ongoing upgrades to your app, each listed in your “what’s new” log. If you cancel, you keep your software and all your data; only new performance improvements and direct support stop. You can restart it later from your dashboard.
+Who owns my data, and can I get it out?
Your business data belongs to you. You can export your contacts and expenses to CSV at any time, and on Executive, cancelling the support plan never removes your software or your data.
