Overview

Tradify follows work from the first inquiry through quoting, scheduling, job tracking, invoicing and payment. That connected workflow can reduce administrative handoffs for businesses juggling those steps across separate tools. The main limitation for companies with custom software needs is the absence of an official public API or documented third-party webhooks.

Tradify supports Xero, QuickBooks and Stripe integrations, while Google Calendar syncing keeps schedules connected to a familiar calendar. The scheduler assigns staff and helps plan routes. Tradify also advertises free one-on-one training and phone support. It says paid accounts require two-step login security, with codes sent by SMS, and that it uses Microsoft Azure hosting with real-time backups plus additional daily backups to AWS.

Key features

Jobs, scheduling and payments

Estimating, quoting, inquiry management, job tracking, timesheets and staff scheduling cover much of a trade business’s daily administration. Online payments and accounting integrations can keep billing connected to the job workflow. Recurring jobs are available on Pro and higher, making those plans more relevant to businesses with repeat service visits.

Tools by plan

Lite includes job management, scheduling, quoting, invoicing, online payments and Xero and QuickBooks Online sync. Pro adds custom branding, an inquiry form and email inbox, job files and photos, recurring jobs, timesheets and subcontractor scheduling. Plus adds SmartRead for Bills, which uses AI to capture costs, and SmartWrite for generating descriptions and improving writing, alongside service reminders, job tasks, purchase orders, bulk invoicing, kit bundles and reporting. Custom includes Plus features with pricing by request.

Because the feature set grows by tier, a business that needs only core job and billing workflows can avoid paying for Plus tools it will not use. Conversely, Lite does not include recurring jobs or timesheets, so businesses that depend on those processes need to budget for Pro or above.

Pricing

Tradify has no free plan. Its advertised 14-day free trial includes all features and does not require a credit card. Paid plans are priced per user per month, so the monthly cost rises with the number of people who need access.

Lite — 47.00 USD per month, billed $47 USD per user/month. It covers job management, scheduling and Google Calendar sync, quoting and invoicing, online payments, and Xero and QuickBooks Online sync. The $12/month Instant Website add-on is separate. This is the entry option for businesses that need the core workflow but can do without recurring jobs, timesheets and the higher-tier tools.
Pro — 51.00 USD per month, billed $51 USD per user/month. It adds custom branding, inquiry capture, job files and photos, recurring jobs, timesheets and subcontractor scheduling to Lite. At $4 more per user/month than Lite, it is the practical fit when repeat work or time tracking matters. The $12/month Instant Website add-on is separate.
Plus — 61.00 USD per month, billed $61 USD per user/month. It includes Pro features plus AI-assisted bill capture and writing tools, service reminders, job tasks, purchase orders, bulk invoicing, kit bundles and reporting. It suits businesses that will use those additional office and billing tools; otherwise, Pro costs less while retaining the recurring-work features. The $12/month Instant Website add-on is separate.
Custom — custom pricing. It includes all Plus features, with pricing by request.

Platforms

Tradify is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, giving teams mobile and desktop access. It has no offline mode, so field staff need connectivity to use it on site.

Who it's for

Tradify is a strong fit for trades and service businesses that want inquiries, estimates, staff scheduling, job records, invoicing and payments managed in one place. Lite works for teams focused on the core workflow; Pro is better for recurring work, timesheets or subcontractor scheduling; Plus makes sense when its added billing, AI and reporting tools earn their higher per-user cost. Businesses that need offline access, a public API or custom webhooks should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros: The workflow runs from inquiry to payment, reducing the need to coordinate those stages in separate systems.
Pros: Google Calendar, Xero, QuickBooks and Stripe integrations connect scheduling, accounting and payments to the job workflow.
Pros: The 14-day trial includes all features and requires no credit card, so teams can assess the higher-tier tools before committing.
Cons: Per-user monthly pricing can become a significant ongoing cost as a team grows.
Cons: No offline mode leaves field staff dependent on connectivity.
Cons: No official public API or documented third-party webhooks limits custom integrations.
Cons: Recurring jobs and timesheets start at Pro, while several advanced tools are reserved for Plus.

Alternatives

Consider ServiceM8 if a free entry point matters: its Free plan allows one user and 30 jobs per month, with 10 AI uses per day, whereas Tradify has no free plan and charges per user. Jobber is another option to compare if its Core plan’s online booking and scheduling suit your needs; it is listed at 29.00 USD per month billed annually, with different prices for shorter commitments.

Verdict

Tradify is a good choice for contractors who want one system to manage work from inquiry through payment, with Pro and Plus extending that workflow for recurring jobs and more involved office administration. Its core appeal is the breadth of connected job tools; its per-user cost, lack of offline access and limited custom integration options are the reasons to choose another platform.
