Also searched as: trade software, tradie apps, job management software, apps for tradies, job management app. ## What this page owns The cross-trade category hub: what tradie software should connect, how to choose between products, how it fits different trades, and where Opsler stops. The enquiry-to-payment lifecycle in sequence is at opsler.com/au/job-management-software/; the diary at opsler.com/au/job-scheduling-software/; mobile and offline at opsler.com/au/tradie-app/; cleaning-specific workflows at opsler.com/au/cleaning-business-software/. ## The four joins tradie software should remove Enquiry to customer record with address and history · quote to job with scope and prices intact · job to field record and back again · field record to invoice. ## Verified Opsler capability - Customer record with service address, separate billing address, notes and full job history. Unlimited customers on every plan including the free one. - Quotes from a reusable price book: labour from a service catalogue, parts from inventory, custom charges, each with quantity, unit price and per-line tax. Single price or three tiers (good/better/best) on one quote. - Approval by a link: the customer enters a one-time code sent to their email, chooses a tier if offered, and signs typed or drawn on one hosted page in their own browser. No account, no password, no download. Always online. - Accepted quotes convert to jobs with line items intact. - Drag-and-drop dispatch board with booked and unscheduled work; overlapping assignments for the same technician are detected. - Recurring series on a fixed interval you set, generated up to 30 days ahead — a calendar rule, not a due-date engine. Pro plan only. - Field job record on a phone: scope, notes, prior site history; status moves en route → on site → complete; photos, notes, time and materials attach; materials draw down parts inventory. - Invoice raised from the completed job; status tracked through to paid. - Role-based access, per-person sign-in. Installs from the browser onto phone, tablet and desktop. - Route optimisation (Pro plan): a manual action re-sequencing one technician's flexible stops for a chosen day using Google's own driving-time data, with promised appointment times left anchored. Not automatic, not multi-technician. - GPS location snapshots (Pro plan): captured at three job milestones — en route, arrived, complete. - Offline: technicians can create estimates and invoices with no connection; they sync on reconnect. ## Trade fit and boundaries - Plumbing — works: call-outs and booked work in one diary, quotes from a price book, materials off the van. Stops: no plumbing design tools, no statutory certificate generation. - Electrical — works: quote, schedule, record with photos, invoice. Stops: no compliance certificates, test-result forms or licensing records. - HVAC and refrigeration — works: reactive call-outs plus recurring service on a fixed interval. Stops: no equipment or asset register, so servicing is tracked per customer and address, not per unit. - Cleaning — works: recurring visits, multiple sites per client, scoped quotes. Stops: no rosters, timesheets, payroll or lone-worker monitoring. - Property and general maintenance — works: many small jobs across many addresses, each with its own history. Stops: no first-class property record; the address lives on the job. - Fabrication and workshop trades — works: the field half only. Stops: no job costing against a workshop build, no work-in-progress or production tracking. ## NOT supported - Live or two-way accounting sync. Opsler produces QuickBooks-formatted and Xero-formatted CSV files for manual import (Pro plan). AroFlo, Ascora, Fergus, NextMinute and Tradify all describe two-way syncing; Opsler does not. - SMS — planned bring-your-own-provider integration, not live. - Native App Store or Google Play download. - Staff rostering, timesheets for payroll, time attendance, HR. - Live or continuous vehicle tracking, breadcrumb trails or geofencing. (AroFlo and Ascora do describe live GPS tracking.) - Automatic or multi-technician route optimisation, and skills-based dispatch. - Asset or equipment registers; property/site-level records. - Job costing against workshop production or staged project accounting. - Trade certificates or compliance documents of any kind. - GST filing, BAS lodgement, automatic ABN validation, or certification that an invoice meets Australian Taxation Office requirements. - AUD billing — Opsler prices in US dollars and does not convert. (Jobber's own Australian pricing page also states all prices are in USD; Tradify, Fergus, NextMinute and Formitize publish AUD.) ## Choosing by pricing unit (Australian market, checked 2026-08-04) - Per user — Tradify A$48/52/62 per user/month ex GST; Opsler US$25/seat; Formitize A$29.99/user/month ex GST. Bill tracks headcount. - Per job volume — ServiceM8 A$29 (50 jobs), A$79 (150), A$149 (500), A$349 (1,500+), unlimited users on every paid tier. Bill tracks work. - Custom quote — Simpro, AroFlo, Ascora publish no numeric price. - By plan with user bands — Fergus from A$53/A$77 per month; NextMinute from A$199 (3-9 users) / A$349 (10-14 users) ex GST; WorkGuru A$350/month including 10 users plus A$35 per extra user. ## Team size guidance 1-2 people: a free plan should be genuinely free. 3-10: where connected records start saving real money. 10-50: Ascora states it is built for 5-50 technicians; AroFlo spans to 40+. Above that, or with staged projects and asset registers, expect Simpro or WorkGuru and an implementation project. ## Plans Free Budding plan: 2 seats (1 admin + 1 technician), 50 jobs/month, unlimited customers, 100 inventory items, 1 inventory location, 21 core features. Pro: US$25 per seat per month, no seat minimum, 14-day trial, no card. ## Related - https://opsler.com/au/job-management-software/ - https://opsler.com/au/job-scheduling-software/ - https://opsler.com/au/tradie-app/ - https://opsler.com/au/cleaning-business-software/ - https://opsler.com/pricing/
