Trackexa Home screen

You already know you're busy. Is the work worth doing?

A full calendar can look great. But if one type of job is returning $100 an hour and another is returning $65, you need to know.

Trackexa brings your hours, costs and job value together so you can see which work is performing, and which work needs a rethink.

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Joel Walters, painter from Cairns and founder of Trackexa

Joel's story

I thought I was giving customers a good price.

"The numbers showed me I was underpricing the work."

I'm Joel, a painter from Cairns. I wanted a better way to understand my own business.

Once I started tracking my jobs properly, I noticed something. Most of my jobs were returning around $100 an hour after paint and materials. But my four-bedroom interior repaints? Around $65 an hour. (From my own painting jobs; figures before overheads, tax and super.)

That changed how I priced those jobs. I've written up how to price a painting job.

Trackexa made visible something I'd previously been guessing about. Once you can see it, it's pretty hard to ignore.

That's why I built Trackexa.

Not verified means we couldn't confirm it in the vendor's public material. It does not mean the feature is unavailable. "Available" does not mean every plan. Reviewed 5 October 2026.

Jobber's revenue goal counts sent invoices and is annual; Trackexa's monthly goal counts paid income. ServiceM8 has a free plan and iOS & Android apps (Android has almost all iOS features, per ServiceM8's help centre). Paid plans are by job volume with unlimited users. Competitor features and terms can change.

Weighing up a switch?

A few things before you get started.

Is it really free to start?

Yep. You get a 14-day free trial, and no credit card is required. Sign up, have a poke around, and see if it works for you. No commitment, no lock-in.

How much does it cost after the trial?

$39 AUD/month inc. GST, flat. No per-user fees, no job credits, no surprise charges. One simple price.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Trackexa runs in your web browser on iPhone and Android phones, as well as tablets and computers, so there's nothing to download or install. Whether you're on-site or in the ute, sign in and your work is there.

Can I bring over my existing customers and quotes?

You can add existing customers and jobs manually. There's no bulk import right now, but most tradies find it easier to just start fresh. It only takes a minute per entry to get going.

What's the Profitability Tracker?

One of the most useful parts of the app. Log your hours and materials against each job, and Trackexa shows the profit, margin and profit per hour. It's your recorded job value, less recorded job costs, divided by the hours you log, so it's not necessarily take-home pay after overheads and tax, but it shows which jobs are worth doing and which ones are quietly costing you.

Does it work with Google Calendar?

Yes. Schedule a job straight from a quote and you can add it to Google Calendar, with the customer name, address and phone number filled in for you. Trackexa also has its own monthly calendar.

Can I use it for my trade? I'm not a painter.

Absolutely. Trackexa works for painters, plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners, landscapers, carpenters: any trade or service business that quotes jobs and tracks time.

What if I run into a problem?

Drop us a line at support@trackexa.com. You'll hear back from a real person, not a bot.

Is it built for Australian businesses?

Trackexa shows paid income including and excluding GST and GST collected on paid invoices (assumes 10% GST). Australian financial year reporting (July–June) is built in. It does not yet track GST paid on purchases. Use your receipts or accounting software for GST credits.

How is Trackexa different from Tradify?

Trackexa is built for Australian sole traders who want a simpler app, profit per hour on every job, built-in Australian FY and GST views, and flat-rate pricing, without per-user fees. See a detailed side-by-side comparison with Tradify. You can also compare ServiceM8 vs Trackexa or Fergus vs Trackexa if you're weighing other options.

Save time. Make better decisions.

Are you charging enough for the work you're doing?

You don't need more paperwork. You need better information from the work you're already doing.

Quote it. Track it. Invoice it. Learn from it. Price the next one better.
