Which one is for you
Pick Fieldmagic if
- Fits if you are a team of up to 5 doing under 30 jobs a month and want to start for nothing
- Works for firms that bill through Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you are busy: the free plan stops at 30 jobs a month and support is AI only
- Pricey if you outgrow it, since Professional is $235 for 5 users and $45 for each one after
- Skip it if you need reports, workflows, the API or recurring plans on the free tier, as they need Professional
- Watch out: the page shows Australian dollars by default and annual billing needs a custom agreement with sales
Pick Tradify if
- Fits if you're an electrician or plumber who quotes every job before starting
- Works for small teams already keeping the books in Xero or QuickBooks Online
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your crew keeps growing, since every user adds $47 or more a month
- Skip it if your accounts live anywhere but Xero or QuickBooks Online, the only two it syncs with
- 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
| 2.2GPAFieldmagicFair | 2.2GPATradifyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CProfessional is $235 a month for 5 users plus $45 for each extra one, about $47 a head for a team of five, which is the middle of the category at $49. Prices show in Australian dollars by default, and annual billing needs a sales agreement. | 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 | CThe Free plan covers up to 5 users but stops at 30 jobs a month, with AI-only support. A 30-day Professional trial needs no card. | 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 | CScheduling with AI route optimisation, quoting, invoicing, accounting sync, offline app, inventory and purchasing. Advanced reporting, custom workflows, API access and recurring service plans need Professional. | 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 store rating on record. Accounting links and quote and invoice templates need setting up first. | 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, an API and webhooks on Professional. No desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, linked to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Stripe and Google Calendar. That's a short list, and there's no desktop app. |

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.
