## Key features

- **Quotes and invoices:** Build quotes and invoices with material markups. Pro adds quote options that customers accept online, deposits and progress invoices, and automatic reminders.
- **Scheduling and subcontractors:** A scheduler syncs with Google Calendar. Pro sends customers appointment reminders and lets you give subcontractors work through a free, limited version of the app.
- **Timesheets and job costing:** From Pro, staff log time against jobs and you record supplier bills, so costs flow onto invoices and you can see what each job made.
- **Enquiry inbox:** Pro gives you a branded enquiry form and an email address that drop new customer requests straight into Tradify as jobs to quote.
- **AI SmartTools:** On Plus, SmartRead captures supplier bills and their costs, and SmartWrite drafts and tidies job and quote descriptions.
- **Payments and accounting sync:** Customers pay invoices online by card through Stripe, and invoices, payments and contacts sync with Xero or QuickBooks Online.

## Good for

- Electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors who quote before they work
- Small trade teams that use Xero or QuickBooks Online
- Businesses that hand work to subcontractors

## Worth knowing

- Every plan is priced per user, so the bill grows with each staff member who logs in.
- Timesheets, job costing, recurring jobs and progress invoicing need Pro; AI tools, purchase orders and reports need Plus.
- There is no free plan; an Instant Website is an add-on at $12 a month on any plan.
- Accounting sync is listed for Xero and QuickBooks Online only.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Tradify is a tidy quote-to-invoice system for electricians, plumbers and HVAC firms, with a neat way to hand work to subcontractors. It's priced per user, though, so a crew of three pays $141 a month on Lite, and timesheets and job costing only come with Pro at $51 a user.

- **Value for money: 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: C.** A 14-day trial with all features and no card needed. No free plan, so after two weeks you're paying for every user.
- **Features: C.** Quotes 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: C.** No 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: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, linked to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Stripe and Google Calendar. That's a short list, and there's no desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Tradify you could make: job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 10 of the 15 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $564 a year.

- You could make: Job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
