What that means at crew size - the maths, shown

Monthly cost for a 4-person crew. Tradify bills ex GST, and its help centre says GST-registered Australian businesses are not charged GST (the reverse-charge rules apply; checked 16 August 2026). figrd's price includes GST, which a registered business claims back. Ex GST, like for like:

• Tradify Pro: 4 users x A$52 = A$208 a month
• figrd Core: A$35.45 a month (A$39 inc GST), whether you are 1 person or 10

The difference is A$172.55 a month - A$2,070.60 a year. Work out your own: users x per-user price, against figrd's flat A$35.45 ex GST (A$39 inc).

Where the profit maths happens

figrd is built for one question: is this job worth taking at this price? It works out what the business must recover from billable time, then puts the effective rate, overhead share and margin in the quote builder before the quote is sent. The same model can check an amount set by a builder and compare quoted with actual after the work.

Tradify includes quoting, invoicing, timesheets and job tracking. Its job costing feature, in Tradify's own words, lets you "determine the actual costs of a project and track profit and costs with our snapshot analysis" (tradifyhq.com/features/job-costing, checked 13 July 2026) - cost determination and profit tracking on the job. The difference in emphasis is timing: figrd puts the answer in the quote builder before the quote goes out.

Where figrd is likely the better fit

• Your crew is more than 1 person and per-user pricing stings.
• You want the decision before committing the work, based on annual running costs and billable capacity rather than only a later job-cost report.
• You do direct work and sub work and want one cost model for both the price you set and an amount a builder sets.
• You want quote to paid in one place, at one price - quote, schedule, invoice, follow up, payment.
• You want safety paperwork that matches how certificates work in 2026 - SWMS and JSA forms in every state (filled and signed on the phone, emailed as branded PDFs, on every plan), plus, on the Pro plan, generated certificates where a business's own document is lawful (QLD electrical) and, for the states that require lodgement through the regulator's own portal, a lodgement record with its deadline and portal link instead of a PDF the regulator will not accept. Per-state rules verified against regulator sources, 12 July 2026.
• Your customers get a branded page of their own - accept the quote, pay the invoice, book a time. Tradify's help centre documents no customer login; accepting a quote needs their Pro plan (checked 16 August 2026).
• AI-assisted quote drafting is included in figrd Pro. Tradify's SmartTools carry the note "Available on our Plus plan only" - A$62 per user/month ex GST (tradifyhq.com, checked 16 August 2026).
