Overview

Tradify covers the flow from customer inquiry through quote, scheduled work, invoice and payment. That breadth is useful for contractors who currently coordinate those tasks across separate tools, while the absence of an official public API or documented third-party webhooks may limit businesses that need to connect their own systems.

The scheduler assigns staff, supports route planning and syncs with Google Calendar. Xero, QuickBooks and Stripe integrations connect accounting and payments, and Tradify also offers timesheets and staff scheduling. Paid accounts require two-step login security, with SMS codes. Tradify says it hosts data on Microsoft Azure with real-time backups and additional daily backups to AWS, and advertises free one-on-one training and phone support.

Key features

Jobs, scheduling and payments

Estimating, quoting, inquiry management, job tracking, timesheets and staff scheduling cover much of a trade business’s day-to-day administration. Online payments and accounting syncs can reduce handoffs between job records, invoices and bookkeeping. Google Calendar syncing helps teams who already use it, though businesses that require an open API or documented webhooks should look elsewhere.

Recurring work and AI tools

Recurring jobs begin with Pro, so Lite is less suitable for businesses that routinely schedule repeat service visits. Plus adds SmartRead for Bills to capture costs with AI, and SmartWrite to generate descriptions and improve writing. It also adds service reminders, job tasks, purchase orders, bulk invoicing, kit bundles and reporting, making it the broadest option for teams that will use those tools rather than merely needing basic job coordination.

Pricing

Tradify has no free plan. Its advertised free trial runs for 14 days, includes all features and requires no credit card. Prices below are per user per month, so the bill grows with the team.

Plan	Price	What it includes and who it suits
Lite	$47 USD per user/month	Job management, scheduling and Google Calendar sync, quoting and invoicing, online payments, and Xero and QuickBooks Online sync. Best for a contractor who needs the core job-to-payment workflow without recurring jobs or the additional tools in higher plans. The Instant Website add-on costs $12/month.
Pro	$51 USD per user/month	Everything in Lite, plus custom branding, an inquiry form and email inbox, job files and photos, recurring jobs, timesheets and subcontractor scheduling. A practical step up for teams managing repeat work, subcontractors or job documentation. The Instant Website add-on costs $12/month.
Plus	$61 USD per user/month	Everything in Pro, plus SmartRead for Bills, SmartWrite, service reminders, job tasks, purchase orders, bulk invoicing, kit bundles and reporting. The fit for businesses that will make use of these broader administrative tools; otherwise Pro costs less. The Instant Website add-on costs $12/month.
Custom	Custom pricing	All Plus features, with pricing by request. Consider it when the standard plan options do not fit; there is no published price to compare upfront.

Platforms

Tradify is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and the web. It has no offline mode, a material drawback for crews who need to access job information where a reliable connection is not available.

Who it's for

Tradify is a strong candidate for trade and service contractors who want inquiries, quotes, scheduling, job records, invoicing and payments managed together, especially those using Xero, QuickBooks or Google Calendar. Pro is the more relevant starting point for recurring work and subcontractor scheduling; Plus is for teams that also need its AI writing and cost-capture tools or expanded administration. Contractors who need offline access, an official public API or a documented webhook route should consider another system.

Pros and cons

Pros: A connected inquiry-to-payment workflow combines job coordination with quoting, invoicing and online payments.
Pros: Google Calendar, Xero and QuickBooks integrations support common scheduling and accounting workflows.
Pros: The 14-day trial includes all features and does not require a credit card, allowing evaluation before paying.
Cons: There is no free plan, and per-user monthly pricing makes team costs rise with each added user.
Cons: No offline mode can disrupt crews who need job access without a connection.
Cons: No official public API or documented third-party webhooks limits custom integrations.

Alternatives

For trade-specific shortlists, see HVAC software and Plumbing software.

Joblogic is worth comparing if asset management and customer and site management matter alongside job management and costing; its Standard plan is £45.00 GBP per month, billed annually.
ServiceM8 is a better starting point for a very small operation seeking a free tier: it allows one user and 30 jobs per month, with 10 AI uses per day.
WEX FSM is an alternative to consider for its free offering focused on payment processing and financing.
Spanstead Works offers a $39.00 USD per month Solo plan for exactly one person, with a free unlimited customer portal and crew mobile app; compare it if a lower-cost solo plan is the priority.
BigChange is an alternative with pricing by request and a stated package including support, CRM, job scheduling, mobile app, live tracking, quotes and invoices, business intelligence and collaboration.
Fieldpoint is another paid option with pricing by request.
AroFlo starts at $80.00 USD per user/month with a three-user minimum, so it is a higher-commitment option for teams comparing per-user costs.
FIELDBOSS is another paid option to compare.

Verdict

Tradify is a good fit for trade contractors who want job coordination and payment tasks in one system, with plan upgrades for recurring work and more advanced administration. Its connected workflow and accounting integrations are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if offline access or an official public API is essential, or if per-user charges make a free or lower-cost alternative more appropriate.
