Tradify price increase: worth staying?
Tradify is one of the most popular job-management apps for Aussie and Kiwi tradies, and its longest-serving users have watched the subscription climb. One five-year user leaving in 2026 described 'paying over double the cost'; a 2020 review already complained of 'constant, significant price increases'.
Whether that's a problem depends entirely on how much of Tradify you actually use.
In their words
What Tradify users are saying
★★★“After over 5 years with Tradify I will be moving over… For the premium price of the service and lack of accountability delivered it's just not worth paying over double the cost.”
★★“Constant, significant price increases without any extra usable features being added. For the money, there is better systems out there.”

The honest take
We’re not a Tradify alternative. Read this first
Keep Tradify if: You quote, schedule and track jobs in Tradify daily, or run staff through it. For a busy small crew the job management genuinely earns the subscription.
Consider switching your invoicing if: You're a one-person operation using Tradify mostly to fire off invoices. Unlimited ATO-correct invoices are free on Dinkum Invoice, and the $9/mo BAS layer is price-locked for life. The number you sign up at is the number you keep paying.

Is Dinkum Invoice a Tradify alternative?
