Right-sized software for a right-sized firm

Small independent homes keep telling us the same four stories. Here's how each one ends after moving to Cypress.

Before

"Another month, another software invoice. It's a line item that never shrinks, never ends, and never asks whether we actually had any calls."

After

One payment of $149.99 and the meter stops. Your software cost is the same in year five as it was on day one: zero more.

Before

"Our records live on the office computer. When I'm at a removal, at the church, or at the kitchen table at midnight, I'm working from memory."

After

Cypress is fully web-based. Open a case from whatever device is in your hand — phone, tablet, laptop — wherever the work takes you.

Before

"The phone rings all day with the same questions: what time is the visitation, where's the church, can I leave a message for the family."

After

Each case comes with its own family portal — service details, RSVP, and condolences on one page the family can pass around. The phone quiets down.

Before

"We write the vital information on the arrangement sheet, then key it into the contract, then retype it once more for the bill. Three chances to make a typo."

After

Type it a single time. The case record feeds the GPL invoice and the family portal on its own — no re-entry, no mismatched copies.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is Cypress different from Passare?

Passare positions itself as a collaboration platform for larger operations, sold as a subscription. Cypress is intentionally smaller in scope: case management, GPL billing, and a family portal for the independent single-location firm — purchased once for $149.99, with no ongoing fees.

Is there really no monthly fee with Cypress?

Correct. You pay $149.99 one time at the Early Bird price and own lifetime access. No renewals, no seat licenses, no surprise tier upgrades — and a 30-day money-back guarantee if it turns out not to fit your firm.

How long does it take to get started with Cypress?

About 30 minutes, entirely self-serve. There's no sales call and no implementation project — set your GPL prices in Settings, enter your active cases, and you're working. Everything runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install.
