Which one
Simpro: Simpro is the Australian-founded heavyweight for established contractors that run projects, service and maintenance work, with mature Xero and MYOB links. Review scores sit in the middle (3.6 on the Xero App Store, 3.7 on Google Play, 4.1 on the AU App Store) and support speed, setup cost and offline reliability are the recurring complaints. Pricing could not be read here and is quote-led according to reviewers.
AroFlo: AroFlo is a heavier field service platform aimed at established trade businesses, priced from $80 per user per month with a 3-user minimum and paid setup from $1450 AUD. It covers inventory, compliance and projects in one plan and has the widest integration set here. It is not built for sole operators and has the lowest review scores of the four.
