KBB Suite vs KABS
KABS and KBB Suite are both built for kitchen and bath dealers. KABS charges $135 to $149 a user a month plus $3,300 to start; KBB Suite is $297 a month for the whole showroom, with setup free and quoting free forever.
The short answer
Both are made for a kitchen and bath dealer, not bent from a generic CRM. The difference is how you pay and who it is built around.
- KABS charges per user, billed quarterly or yearly, plus a one-time onboarding fee. It calls itself "the operating system built specifically for kitchen and bath dealers", and its pages speak to the owner: control, margins, dashboards.
- KBB Suite is one flat price for the whole showroom, every designer included, set up with you for free. It is built around the designer selling the kitchen: the quote, the customer's page, the deposit, the follow-up.

If QuickBooks sync is a must for you this year, look hard at KABS.
Where KBB Suite is ahead
- The price does not grow with your team. Every designer, in the showroom or remote, is included.
- You can try it without a sales call. Quoting is free forever. The rest is free for 30 days, no card.
- Setup is free and done with you. About two days, over two calls: one to learn how your showroom works, one to set it up. Your live jobs moved in, your catalogs loaded, your designers shown around.
- The customer's side is built in. She gets one page with her design, the quote, the contract and the deposit, branded as your showroom.
- It is run by a dealer. We sell our own kitchens on it, at Luxcraft Cabinets and CabinetDeals.com.
