Why Tradies Switch from Tradify
Where Tradify can be a tough fit for small NZ crews — and how Work Flow Trade approaches it.
Per-user pricing gets expensive fast
Tradify's published NZ pricing is $48–$62 per user per month ex GST. A team of 5 runs $240–$310/mo — and every new hire lifts the bill again.
Work Flow Trade is $50+GST/mo flat. Add your whole crew — no extra cost.
No customer portal
Clients get emailed links to view a quote or invoice, but there's no portal login where they can follow job progress, see photos, and approve work in one place.
A full customer portal is included — progress, photos, quote approvals, and online payment.
No offline access
Tradify's own help centre says both the web console and the mobile app need a live internet connection — tough on new builds and rural sites with patchy coverage.
Native iPhone and Android apps built for the field, with an offline queue for photo uploads.
Price lists, not stock control
Tradify handles price lists and kits, but there's no native stock-quantity tracking — a real issue if you manage parts across vans and a warehouse.
Full inventory with categories, markups, low-stock alerts, and reorder thresholds built in.
