Switching from Tradify
Everything Plus has, for less than Lite
Tradify holds reporting, purchase orders and bulk invoicing back for its dearest plan. Teamsmith has one plan: every feature, unlimited jobs, $30 per user per month.
Teamsmith vs Tradify, side by side
How the two stack up on the things that matter when you're running jobs, crews and invoices every day.
| Feature | Teamsmith | Tradify |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | One plan: $30 per user, per month. Every feature included | Three tiers around $48–$62 per user (AUD, ex GST), and the good stuff sits in the dearer ones |
| Reporting | Full reports catalogue plus a custom report builder, included for everyone | Locked to the top Plus plan, and reviewers still call it basic: “export to Excel” territory |
| Timesheets & job costing | Included: timesheets, rate tracking and job profitability | Requires the Pro plan or above |
| Progress invoicing & deposits | Deposits and progress claims against accepted quotes, included, with automatic payment reminders | Progress invoicing requires Pro; bulk invoicing requires Plus |
| Client portal | Real client portal: every quote, invoice and job in one place, payable online | Online quote acceptance and pay-by-link, but no logged-in portal with history |
| Work orders & subbies | Work orders built from quote items, emailed to suppliers and subbies as branded PDFs | Subcontractor scheduling and timesheets on Pro; reviewers rate the subbie tools as shallow |
| Quoting | Branded quotes, online acceptance, versioning and automatic follow-ups | Genuinely quick quoting with follow-ups, one of Tradify’s strong suits |
| Accounting sync | Two-way Xero and MYOB Business sync | Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online |
| Field app | Full-featured web app in any browser, plus a native iPhone app with feature parity | Native apps on both iOS and Android |

Fair's fair
But… Tradify is genuinely easy to live with
Tradify earns its ratings: it's one of the easiest tools in the category to pick up, its quoting is fast, and it has native apps on both iOS and Android. On Android, Teamsmith runs as a full-featured web app rather than a native one. If you're a sole trader who mostly quotes and invoices, Tradify's Lite plan may be all you ever need.
If that's the deal-breaker for you, Tradify might be the right fit. If not, read on.
Reporting
The numbers, without the top-tier tax
On Tradify, reporting is a Plus-plan feature, and reviewers still end up exporting to Excel. Teamsmith ships a full reports catalogue to every user, plus a builder for your own.
- Job profitability, invoice aging, staff utilisation, billed vs unbilled time and more
- Filter by client, team member, job type or period, then drill into the jobs behind the numbers
- Build and save custom reports from curated job and invoice data sources
Timesheets
Track the hours, cost the job
Timesheets aren't an upsell. They're how you find out whether the job made money. Your crew logs time from the field, rates are snapshotted, and profitability rolls up per job.
- Timesheets from any device, with approval and dismissal workflows for the office
- Charge-out rates captured at time of entry, so later rate changes never rewrite history
- Do-and-charge invoices built straight from tracked time, so nothing slips through
Client Portal
A portal, not just a payment link
Repeat clients and property managers want one place to see everything you've done for them. Teamsmith gives every client a portal with quotes, invoices and jobs, included.
- Clients view and accept quotes online, and you’re notified the second they do
- Every invoice payable by card from the portal or the emailed link
- Automatic quote follow-ups and payment reminders do the chasing for you
