Why sole traders look elsewhere

Common reasons traders look for something simpler

Common reasons sole traders look for something simpler. Some find bigger platforms have more features than they need. Some prefer one flat monthly price. Some want profit per hour on every job.

😵
Too many features
Too many features, too many clicks, too much time learning software instead of running your business.
📞
Prefer less phone follow-up?
Some tradies like a guided onboarding with regular check-ins; others want to poke around the app quietly and ask for help when they need it. If you're in the second camp, that's OK. Different products suit different styles.
💸
Per-user pricing adds up fast
Per-user pricing scales with every login. Trackexa is one flat monthly price for one login. Team seats are not available yet.
🐌
When speed matters
Worth testing side by side on your own connection to see which feels faster for your workflows.
❓
Am I actually making money?
Trackexa puts profit-per-hour on every job front and centre. If that's how you decide what's worth quoting, compare both apps on a real job.
🏢
Built for big teams, not sole traders
Tradify has depth for larger operations. If you're a sole trader, you might only use part of the product. Trackexa stays focused on core tradie workflows.

Questions & Answers

Common questions about switching from Tradify

Here's what tradies usually ask when comparing Trackexa to Tradify.

How does Trackexa pricing compare to Tradify?
Trackexa is $39 AUD per month including GST, flat. That includes all features, unlimited jobs, quotes, invoices, and profit tracking. One login. No per-user fees, no hidden costs. Tradify Lite is $48 AUD per user per month plus GST ($52.80 including GST) based on their Australian pricing page checked 5 October 2026. Confirm current plans on their site. If you're a sole trader, flat-rate pricing with one login can make budgeting simpler.
Does Trackexa have Australian FY tracking built in?
Yes. Your dashboard shows financial year income (July 1 to June 30) by default, with paid income including and excluding GST. GST collected is calculated as one eleventh of paid invoice totals (assumes 10% GST on all invoices). You can export a sales and GST collected summary for your bookkeeper or BAS. Trackexa does not yet track GST paid on purchases.
Can I see profit-per-hour on every job?
Yes. Trackexa calculates and displays profit-per-hour automatically for every job based on your materials, hours worked, and revenue. It's on the job card and dashboard, no custom reports or manual calculations needed.
Is Trackexa simpler or more complex than Tradify?
Simpler. Trackexa is built for Australian sole traders (one login per account). We focus on core tradie workflows: quotes, jobs, invoices, profit tracking, and Aus FY. Team logins are not available yet. An offsider can still get the job details via Google Calendar. Tradify has more depth for larger teams with advanced features. If you need those, Tradify may fit better.
Can I import my existing data from Tradify?
You start fresh in Trackexa. Before you cancel your old app, export or download the records you want to keep.
Does Trackexa work on Android and iOS?
Yes. Trackexa runs in your phone's browser on iPhone and Android, plus desktop, with every feature on every device. Nothing to install.
What if I need to switch back to Tradify?
You keep full access until the end of the period you've paid for, then 30 days of read-only access to view and download your records.
