SMASH vs MYOB
MYOB has been the backbone of Australian business accounting for 30 years. But if you're on a job site trying to send a quote, it's the wrong tool.
SMASH sends invoices from your phone in 60 seconds. MYOB takes 15 minutes at a desk.
For tradies, the question isn't which does more — it's which fits how you actually work.

From tradies who switched
"MYOB on mobile is not a mobile app. SMASH is. I invoice while I'm still at the customer's house — payment comes through before I'm home."
Jake R.
Electrician, Perth
Previously: MYOB mobile app
"My accountant still uses MYOB for the end-of-year stuff. I just use SMASH to invoice. Took me 5 minutes to set up and I've never looked back."
Mia S.
Tiler, Gold Coast
"I was spending Sunday afternoons doing invoices. Now I'm done by the time I get back to the ute. SMASH has given me my weekends back."

Where MYOB is strong
Australian compliance

Established software
30 years in the market. Trusted by hundreds of thousands of Australian businesses and accountants.
Full accounting picture
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow — MYOB gives you the full financial story of your business.
Where SMASH wins
Zero setup
SMASH reads a couple of your old invoices and learns your rates on day one. MYOB requires configuring accounts, items, tax codes, and payment terms before you send a single invoice.
Actually mobile
MYOB has a mobile app. It's not the same as being designed for mobile. SMASH was built from scratch to be used in one hand at a job site.
Voice input changes everything
Describing a job out loud is 10x faster than tapping through MYOB's interface on a phone screen. Most tradies don't invoice until they're back at a desk — SMASH removes that delay entirely.
Simpler pricing
SMASH Free is $0. SMASH Pro is $22.99. No per-employee costs, no add-on modules, no surprises.
The real cost of waiting
Every job you don't invoice on the day is a job detail you'll try to remember later — and a payment that waits an extra week. Tradies leaving invoices until "tonight" often don't get to them until the weekend.
