Pricing snapshot vs Tradify
Tradify charges per user, per month, and publishes its prices. Lite is $48, Pro is $52 and Plus is $62 per user per month, quoted excluding GST, with the same figures shown on the New Zealand site in NZD and the Australian site in AUD. There is a Custom plan you have to ring about. The trial is 14 days with no credit card, and there is no free tier afterwards. Lite covers jobs, scheduling, quoting, invoicing and accounting sync. Pro adds timesheets, recurring jobs, job photos, subcontractor scheduling and health and safety forms. Plus adds purchase orders, bill capture, kit bundles and reporting.
HelloGrowthCRM is $12 per user per month billed monthly, or $10 per user per month billed annually, with a free forever plan.
Run the numbers on a five-person team. Tradify Pro is roughly $260 a month before GST. HelloGrowthCRM on annual billing is $50 a month. Ten users: about $520 versus $100.
That gap looks dramatic until you remember what each tool does. Tradify's price buys scheduling, timesheets, purchase orders, supplier bills and compliance paperwork. HelloGrowthCRM's price buys pipeline, a dialer with call recording and AI call summaries, lead scoring, email sequences, SMS and WhatsApp, quotes, invoicing, web forms and reporting. They overlap on quoting and invoicing and almost nowhere else. Comparing them line for line on price alone will lead you to the wrong decision. Compare them on the problem you are actually trying to fix this quarter.

Why teams leave Tradify
Most Tradify customers should not leave Tradify. What they should stop doing is paying $52 a user for people who never open a job card. If your quoting admin, your estimator or your sales rep mainly ring leads, send quotes and chase them, they do not need scheduling or timesheets. They need a pipeline and a dialer. Put those people on HelloGrowthCRM at $10 to $12 a seat, keep the field crew and the office on Tradify, and connect the two through Zapier or the API. You cut per-seat spend and get follow-up that actually happens.

Tradify is the stronger job management tool and it is not close. Scheduling, timesheets, purchase orders and compliance forms all live there, and HelloGrowthCRM has none of them. HelloGrowthCRM is the stronger sales tool: pipeline, dialer, call recording, AI call summaries, lead scoring, sequences and WhatsApp for a fraction of the per-seat cost. If quotes are going quiet and nobody is ringing them back, add HelloGrowthCRM rather than replacing Tradify.
Tradify's place in the ANZ trade software market
Tradify was built in New Zealand and has grown into one of the best-known job management brands across Australia and New Zealand. It is aimed squarely at small to mid-sized trade businesses: electricians, plumbers, HVAC, building services. The pitch is straightforward. Get quotes out faster, schedule the team properly, track the hours, invoice on time and stop doing paperwork at ten at night. Unlike some competitors, Tradify publishes its pricing openly, which makes it easy to work out what you will pay before you talk to anyone. The trial is 14 days with no credit card, so you can load real jobs in and see whether the workflow suits how your business actually runs.
The plan structure matters more than the headline price. Lite covers the fundamentals: jobs, scheduling with calendar sync, quoting, invoicing, online payments and accounting sync to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online. Pro is where most trade businesses land, because it adds timesheets, recurring jobs, job templates, job photos, subcontractor scheduling, appointment reminders, progress invoicing and health and safety forms with compliance certificates. Plus adds the purchasing side: purchase orders, supplier bill capture, kit bundles, bulk invoicing, service reminders and reporting. Prices are quoted excluding GST at $48, $52 and $62 per user per month, with a Custom tier for larger operations. Each step up is small in dollars but meaningful in what it unlocks.
What Tradify does not do, and does not claim to do, is sales. There are enquiry forms and quote tracking, but there is no pipeline with stages, no lead scoring, no dialer with call recording, no AI call summaries and no multi-step email sequences that keep working on a quote for six weeks. That is a design choice, not an oversight. Tradify is organised around the job, and a job only exists once someone has already said yes. The consequence is that the most expensive failure in a trade business, the quote that goes out and never gets a decision, sits in a blind spot. Most owners feel this as a vague sense that too many quotes go quiet.
That is the gap HelloGrowthCRM is built for. It holds the enquiry before it becomes a job: pipeline stages, AI lead scoring, a built-in dialer with call recording and AI call summaries, email sequences, SMS and WhatsApp, a quote builder, web forms and reporting dashboards, on iOS and Android, for $10 to $12 per user per month with a free forever plan. It will not schedule your sparkies or run your timesheets, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The pairing that works is Tradify for the work and HelloGrowthCRM for the winning of it, connected through Zapier or the API so the customer details only get typed once.
