Inkdesk.online's answer

Stripe Connect for payments, with the studio as merchant of record. A multi tenant web platform with per studio data isolation. Deployed on Docker. Postgres for data.

YieldStack's answer:

AI integrations supporting the platform’s workflows.

Inkdesk.online's answer

Inkdesk is shop owned, not a marketplace. The studio keeps its own clients and its own money, since payments run through the studio's own Stripe account with the studio as merchant of record and Inkdesk taking zero percent. Pricing is one flat rate for the entire studio instead of charging per artist, so cost does not climb as the team grows. It is built specifically for tattoo and piercing studios rather than adapted from generic salon software.

YieldStack's answer:

YieldStack combines AI-assisted lender matching with hands-on commercial mortgage brokerage. Borrowers submit once, compare financing options, and work with a team that handles structuring, negotiation, and closing coordination. Borrowers approve lender outreach, with no upfront fees and a broker fee paid only at closing.

Inkdesk.online's answer

Most tools charge per artist and take a cut of your payments. Inkdesk is a flat price for the whole studio and takes zero percent, so a busy multi chair shop pays far less as it grows and keeps all of its payment revenue. Everything a studio needs, booking, deposits, payments, reminders, client records and consent forms, sits in one place, and every payment analytic is inside the CRM instead of a separate dashboard.

YieldStack's answer:

YieldStack helps borrowers evaluate the whole financing offer: rate, leverage, fees, reserves, prepayment terms, and closing requirements. Its platform organizes the process, while its brokerage team helps borrowers find suitable lenders and move the deal forward. One submission gives borrowers a coordinated financing process without an upfront brokerage fee.

Inkdesk.online's answer

Tattoo and piercing studios, from single artist shops to multi chair studios with several artists and a front desk. The buyer is usually the studio owner who wants to cut no-shows, control payments and run the whole shop without stitching together separate booking and payment tools.

YieldStack's answer:

Commercial real estate investors, developers, operators, and mortgage brokers seeking bridge, DSCR, fix-and-flip, construction, multifamily, and permanent financing across the United States.

Inkdesk.online's answer

Inkdesk started from a real studio's problems, no-shows eating revenue, deposits and payments scattered across different tools, and generic salon software that never fit how tattoo and piercing shops actually work. It was built as one shop owned system where the studio keeps its clients and its money, priced flat so it stays affordable as a shop grows.

YieldStack's answer:

Rommin Adl and Daniel Chesney founded YieldStack to simplify commercial real estate financing. The platform brings deal preparation, lender matching, offer comparison, and closing coordination into one workflow, combining AI-assisted analysis with human brokerage expertise.
