Both Australian. Both built for sole traders. Built for different places. Rounded is invoicing and accounting done from a desk: time tracking, expenses, GST, pre-filled BAS. SMASH is quoting done from the job: speak the work, quote sent in under 60 seconds. If you bill hours from a chair, Rounded fits. If you price jobs standing in driveways, keep reading.
Talk → verify your rates → send → they approve and pay.
Most invoice apps stop at send. Service businesses need quote → approve → invoice → paid — on site.

Rounded was made in Melbourne for freelancers and sole traders, and for its audience it is genuinely good: unlimited invoicing on every plan, a time tracker that feeds invoices, receipt capture, real-time tax estimates, pre-filled BAS. Support answers in under a minute. If your work happens at a desk and you bill hours, there is a lot to like.
SMASH was built in a different room. A ute, mostly. The problem it solves is not "track my hours and lodge my BAS." It is "the customer just asked how much, and whoever answers first gets the job."
Someone asks for a price on the spot. In Rounded, you open a quote, type the client, type the line items, type the prices, send. Doable on a phone. Not fast with dirty hands.
In SMASH, you talk. "Two bedrooms and a hallway, prep and two coats, plus ceiling in the hall." Your rates fill in from your pricing catalog. Paint and sundries price from a built-in Australian materials catalog of 2,250+ items. Quote generated in under 10 seconds, sent inside a minute. The customer opens a link, approves, pays. You see the moment they open it. More on how voice invoicing works.
Rounded, from their pricing page July 2026: Starter $264.95/year for non-GST sole traders, Pro $29.95/month or $329.95/year with automatic GST and pre-filled BAS. Unlimited invoices on both.
SMASH: free with 5 quotes a month and every feature on, Starter $15/month, Pro $25/month. Details on the pricing page.
Close enough in price that the decision is not money. It is where you work.
Hands-on sole traders who quote before they invoice and quote often. Cleaners, handymen, gardeners, painters, mobile mechanics, pool and pest techs. Jobs priced on the spot, won on speed.
Rounded is a well-built Australian product for desk-based solo business. Some people will sensibly run both: SMASH to win the job, Rounded for the tax admin.
Rounded quotes are typed and convert to invoices. SMASH quotes are spoken, priced automatically, and sent with a customer approval portal where approval, payment, and the invoice happen in one link.
Both take card payments and send reminders. SMASH adds read receipts, so you know the moment the quote is opened, and creates the invoice automatically on approval.
Rounded does GST, real-time tax estimates, and pre-filled BAS in-app. SMASH calculates tax on every document automatically and syncs invoices to Xero and QuickBooks, where your BAS gets done.
Rounded: web plus mobile app. SMASH: iOS app plus a Chrome extension that reads quote requests out of Gmail and builds the quote from the email.
Rounded is Australian invoicing and accounting for sole traders, strongest at the desk: time tracking, hourly billing, expenses, GST, and pre-filled BAS. SMASH is a voice-first quoting and invoicing app for the job: speak the work and the quote is sent in under 60 seconds.
Rounded handles a tradie's invoicing and tax admin well, and unlimited invoicing on all plans suits high volumes. It is built around typed invoicing and time tracking though, with no voice input, no materials catalog, and no customer approval portal, so quoting on the spot is slower.
Yes, and it can make sense. SMASH for winning the job fast on site, Rounded for expense tracking and BAS. Many sole traders run a quoting tool alongside their accounting tool.
Rounded's published plans are Starter at $264.95 per year for non-GST sole traders and Pro at $29.95 per month or $329.95 per year with automatic GST and pre-filled BAS. Checked July 2026 on Rounded's pricing page.
No. Rounded invoices and quotes are typed, on web or mobile. SMASH builds the quote from your voice, priced from your own rates and a built-in Australian materials catalog of 2,250+ items.
Built for the driveway, not the desk.
