In depth
Where AroFlo shines
AroFlo is a serious Australian field-service platform, and for the right business it's excellent. If you run scheduled maintenance contracts, need inventory tracking across vans and warehouses, or have compliance and asset-management workflows, AroFlo has depth that a lean tool simply doesn't.
Larger operations with office staff who live in the system every day will get value from that depth - the investment in setup and training can genuinely pay off at that scale.
Where TrackYaTradie wins
Most small trade crews don't need a platform - they need an answer. TrackYaTradie is built around one question: is this job making money? Hours and costs land against the invoice live, with an alert when costs hit 85 percent of the job's value. Quotes, invoices with payment stages, crew scheduling and Xero sync round it out - and nothing more.
That leanness shows up in the price and the clock. TrackYaTradie is flat-rate from $35 to $249 a month for the whole crew - no per-user maths and no user minimum. And there's no implementation project: you sign up, run the guided tour, and you're working the same afternoon.
Your crew feels the difference too. The tradie app is simple enough that nobody needs training - open it, log hours, tick the checklist, add a photo. Tools the crew actually uses beat features the office admires.
Which should you choose?
If you're a larger operation that genuinely needs inventory, compliance and asset workflows - and you have someone to own the system - AroFlo deserves a look. If you're a crew of one to twenty-five that wants profit visibility without a second job administering software, TrackYaTradie is the better fit.
Who each one is for

Common questions about AroFlo and TrackYaTradie
Is TrackYaTradie a full AroFlo replacement?+
For a small-to-mid crew that wants jobs, quotes, invoices, crew hours, live profit and Xero, yes. AroFlo goes deeper on things like inventory, compliance workflows and asset maintenance - if you genuinely need those, AroFlo earns its complexity. Most small crews don't.
How does the pricing compare?+
AroFlo starts at $80 per user a month with a minimum of 3 users, so its smallest bill is $240 a month, and the per-user rate falls as you add users (checked 25 October 2026; GST not stated, and ask about setup costs). TrackYaTradie is one flat price per business, from $35 to $249 a month for the whole crew.
How long does TrackYaTradie take to learn?+
An afternoon. There's a guided tour with demo data, and the crew's app is simple enough that most tradies need no training at all - open it, log your hours, tick the checklist.
