Look elsewhere if

- Works for small teams already keeping the books in Xero or QuickBooks Online

- Tight if you need timesheets and job costing, which start on Pro at $51 a user
- Watch out: AI tools, purchase orders and reports need Plus at $61 a user a month
- Not for you if you want a free plan or online booking: there's neither, and a website is $12 a month extra
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAAroFloFair | 2.2GPATradifyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CAUD $80 a user a month with 3 users minimum, roughly US$150 a month for the smallest team. That is in the dearer quarter, which starts at $99. The rate falls with more users, but the scale is not published. | C$47 per user a month on Lite, so three of you pay $141 a month, and the bill grows with every login. That sits in the middle for this category. Timesheets and job costing need Pro, which is $51 a user. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial are listed; the page offers a demo. | CA 14-day trial with all features and no card needed. No free plan, so after two weeks you're paying for every user. |
| Features | BQuotes, jobs, scheduling and dispatch, timesheets, purchasing with 600+ suppliers, safety forms, Gantt projects and AI helpers. GPS tracking and the bill scanner are add-ons. | CQuotes with markups, a scheduler that syncs with Google Calendar, invoices, card payments and subcontractor jobs, plus timesheets and job costing on Pro. The gap: nothing in its listing shows online booking, live staff locations or route planning. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It connects to accounting, suppliers and payments and has a lot to set up. | CNo App Store rating on record for it. Quotes, the scheduler and your Xero or QuickBooks link all need setting up before it pays off, which is ordinary for this category. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
