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.
