Tradescraft vs Tradify
The same jobs, quotes and invoices - on one flat plan instead of three tiers, with safety and compliance built in.
Tradify is a solid job-and-invoice app. The difference is what you pay and what's in the box: as at July 2026, Tradify's published plans spread features across three tiers, while Tradescraft is one flat price with safety, compliance and reporting all included.

Where they differ
One plan, not three tiers
As at July 2026, Tradify's published plans put recurring jobs and timesheets on Pro and Plus, and reporting and reusable kits on Plus only. With Tradescraft they're all on by default - there's a single plan.
A lower price per user
Tradescraft is $29 per user with no feature tiers. As at July 2026, Tradify's published plans start at A$48, with the AI, reporting and kit tools on the A$62 Plus tier (ex GST).
Safety and compliance are built in
Tradify has JSA and SWMS templates on its Pro and Plus plans. What it doesn't do, as at July 2026, is track ticket expiry or gate dispatch on it: Tradescraft builds the safety docs on a 5×5 risk matrix, warns before a licence lapses, and blocks a worker being sent without the right ticket - on every plan.
More in the base price
The customer portal, reviews, the operations hub and the full reporting suite are all on the base plan - no upsell. A website ($29/month) is an optional add-on (SMS texting is coming soon), and the website isn't a brochure: a lead from it lands in your enquiry list ready to action and the reviews you approve publish themselves.
