Tradify
Job management for tradespeople: quotes, invoicing, scheduling, timesheets
What it does
Tradify is a job-management platform for trades businesses (electricians, plumbers, HVAC, builders, landscapers). Handles quoting, scheduling, timesheets, invoicing, and field-team dispatching from one app. Mobile-first for the guys in the truck, web dashboard for the office. Built in New Zealand, big in AU/UK/NZ, growing in North America. It's the "one app for the whole job cycle" pitch aimed at solo tradies through ~25-truck operations. Cheaper and simpler than ServiceTitan, more capable than a spreadsheet plus Xero.

Setup

Key features
Integrates with
Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, Zapier
Who this fits
- Solo tradies (electricians, plumbers, HVAC, handymen) who need to quote and invoice from the truck
- Small trades businesses (2-25 employees) growing past whiteboards and paper timesheets
- Field-service operators in AU/NZ/UK where Tradify has deep local presence
- Trades businesses on Xero or QuickBooks looking for a tight accounting sync
- Owner-operators tired of chasing paper quotes and invoices
Who it does NOT fit
- Larger trades businesses (50+ trucks) with dispatch and territory complexity (ServiceTitan)
- Non-trades service businesses (Jobber and Housecall Pro have broader coverage)
- Commercial construction with heavy project accounting (Procore, Buildertrend)
- Businesses whose core problem is marketing/lead-gen, not job execution
- Anyone whose team refuses to use a phone app in the field
Pricing
Real gotchas
- Mobile-first design means the web dashboard is functional but not the primary experience
- Timesheet approvals need discipline. Guys forget to clock in/out and the data goes stale
- Inventory tracking is light. Not built for large parts warehouses
- Reporting is fine for owner-operators, thin for larger management teams
- Integrations depth varies by region. Xero is deep; QuickBooks US is solid; other accounting tools are lighter
- Some workflow customization requires higher tiers
- Not a marketing tool. Lead-gen and follow-up nurture belong in a real CRM
Integrations that matter
Otto’s take on this tool
Recommend Tradify when: business is trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, general contracting, handyman, landscaping); business_size is 1-25 employees; pain_point is "I quote from the truck and lose the paper" or "my invoicing lag is killing cash flow." Pairs with Xero or QuickBooks, Google Calendar for dispatch, and a marketing tool for lead-gen. Do NOT recommend for larger trades operations (ServiceTitan), non-trades services (Jobber, Housecall Pro), or businesses whose actual bottleneck is marketing. Best fit is the solo/small trades operator moving off paper.

Editor's curated reviews
595 reviews across TrustPilot - avg 4.8/5Curated by Otto from TrustPilot public reviews (fetched 2026-08-31 at trustpilot.com/review/tradifyhq.com - note the correct product profile lives at tradifyhq.com, not tradify.com). 595 reviews at a 4.8 headline with 89% 5-star and a 3% 1-star tail - the aggregate math checks out and the sample is authoritative for a trades-focused job-management tool. The 5-star cluster is dominated by electricians, plumbers, and small contractor teams crediting onboarding speed (same-day training sessions), one-place quote-to-invoice flow, and time saved on admin. The 1-star cluster centers on two issues buyers should evaluate before committing to an annual plan: (1) support is asynchronous with no direct phone-to-agent path from the US and (2) rare cloud-sync data-loss reports on cert/compliance documents that a trades operator cannot afford to lose. Test the sync behavior with non-critical data first and confirm your backup posture. G2 and Capterra were consulted for aggregate context but not directly cited here (source-access limits).

“Support is lacking, no way to actually talk to support so if you have any issues no help is coming.”
“No local support - very poor communication. Would not recommend to anyone.”
“Data not saving to their 'cloud'. Hours of certificating just disappeared.”
