Tradify vs AroFlo
Both are priced per user and both are well known in Australia, but they are built for different sizes of business.
The short answer
Pick Tradify if you are a small crew that wants to start quoting and invoicing this week on a free trial, and you can live with paying per user. Pick AroFlo if you run a service business that also manages stock, safety paperwork and assets, and you have time for a demo and a proper setup.
We build TrackYaTradie, a third option covered at the end. Every Tradify and AroFlo detail here comes from their own sites, checked 25 October 2026.

What a crew of 1, 3 or 8 pays a month
Both multiply by people, so do the sum for everyone who will log in, apprentices included. AroFlo bills at least 3 users, even for a smaller crew.
| Plan | 1 person | 3 people | 8 people |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tradify Pro (costing and timesheets start here), + GST | $52 | $156 | $416 |
| AroFlo at its starting rate (3-user minimum), GST not stated | $240 | $240 | Up to $640 |

Checked 25 October 2026, list prices, no promotions. AroFlo says its per-user rate falls as you add licences, so a crew of 8 pays less than 8 x $80; ask AroFlo for the exact figure and for setup costs. Tradify Lite ($48 per user) is cheaper but has no costing or timesheets. TrackYaTradie prices are in AUD, one flat price per business.
Who each one suits
Tradify suits
- Sole traders and small crews: you pay for the users you have, and you can try it for 14 days first.
- Quote, schedule, invoice and get paid, with costing and timesheets on Pro.
- Owners who want to set it up themselves this week.
AroFlo suits
- Service businesses with stock to manage, safety and OH&S paperwork, and assets to maintain.
- Crews of three or more, where the per-user rate falls as the team grows.
- Owners who want a guided start through a demo, and books on Reckon as well as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks.

A third option: one flat price
Both of these charge per user. TrackYaTradie (ours) charges one flat price per business: $35 a month for a sole trader, $79 for up to 3 tradies, $149 for up to 10 and $249 for up to 25. Every job shows its live profit as hours and costs come in, on every plan.
It does far less than AroFlo: no inventory, compliance registers, asset maintenance or GPS, and it syncs with Xero only. If you need those, AroFlo is the better fit. Head-to-heads: TrackYaTradie vs Tradify and TrackYaTradie vs AroFlo.
