Questions

What does job management software cost in Australia?
Entry plans start under $30 a month for a sole trader (ServiceM8's lowest paid plan and Tradify's starter tier), and run to several hundred dollars a month for team plans. simPRO, ServiceTitan and AroFlo's larger tiers are quoted per business rather than listed. Prices on this page are AUD unless the vendor only publishes USD.
Which job management apps connect to Xero?
All of the apps listed here connect to Xero. MYOB and QuickBooks support varies, so check the integrations column on each app page.
Do I need job management software as a sole trader?
If you are quoting, invoicing and chasing payments from your phone, the cheapest tiers of ServiceM8, Tradify or Fergus replace a paper diary and a spreadsheet for less than the cost of one missed invoice. Teams of three or more usually need scheduling and timesheets, which sit in the mid tiers.

Other categories: Quoting, Estimating, Scheduling, Field service.
