Tradify is a full job management suite for trade businesses: quoting, scheduling, timesheets, purchase orders, priced per user per month. SMASH does one thing: it gets a quote out of your mouth and into a customer's inbox in under 60 seconds. If you run a crew, Tradify earns its keep. If you work solo, you are paying for a toolbox to use one tool.
Talk → verify your rates → send → they approve and pay.
Most invoice apps stop at send. Service businesses need quote → approve → invoice → paid — on site.

Tradify's plans start around US$47 per user per month, and the tier ladder matters: purchase orders, bulk invoicing, kit bundles, and full reporting sit on Plus at US$61. There is no free plan. Australian customers see their AUD price at signup.
For a business with four people on the tools, that maths can work; the admin it replaces is real. For one person, it is a lot of subscription for the part you actually use every day: getting a quote out.
Independent 2026 reviews keep landing on the same two notes for solos. The learning curve is dense, because quoting sits inside a job workflow built for teams. And supplier pricing is manual, imported by CSV rather than live.
You finish a fence repair. The owner points at the gate. "What would that be?"
You talk. "Replace the gate hinges and latch, realign the gate, one hour labour plus hardware." SMASH pulls your rates from your pricing catalog, prices the hardware from a built-in Australian materials catalog of 2,250+ items, and the quote is ready in under 10 seconds. Sent before you reach the ute. The owner taps approve on their phone and can pay right there. You see the moment they open it.
No job card. No template picking. No menus. See how voice invoicing works.

Sole traders quoting multiple times a week: handymen, cleaners, gardeners, painters, mobile mechanics, pool and pest techs. Simple, frequent jobs where the first answer back wins the work.
Tradify is a capable suite for a growing team. Some businesses start on SMASH solo and move to Tradify when they hire. The quotes just get slower.
Tradify quoting is template and kit based, quick once configured, but every quote is still assembled by hand. SMASH quoting is spoken, priced automatically, and sent with a customer approval portal where the customer approves and pays in one place.
Both take online payments. SMASH fires a read receipt the moment the customer opens the quote, and creates the invoice automatically on approval.
Tradify imports supplier price lists via CSV, kept current by you. SMASH ships with a 2,250+ item Australian materials catalog, so spoken materials are priced without a spreadsheet.
Tradify: iOS, Android, web. SMASH: iOS plus a Chrome extension that reads quote requests straight out of Gmail and builds the quote from the email.
Tradify's published pricing is per user per month: Lite US$47, Pro US$51, Plus US$61, with volume discounts from 4 or more users. Australian customers are billed in AUD at signup. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is available. Checked July 2026.
Tradify is built as a full job management suite: scheduling, timesheets, purchase orders. For a sole trader who mainly needs quotes and invoices out fast, much of that goes unused, several features sit behind the Plus tier, and reviews note a dense learning curve for solo operators.
Tradify manages the whole job lifecycle for teams. SMASH does one thing: it turns your voice into a sent quote in under 60 seconds, with your own rates and Australian materials pricing filled in automatically.
No. Tradify quotes are built from templates, kits, and imported supplier price lists, all entered by hand. SMASH builds the quote from your voice.
Yes, SMASH syncs to Xero and QuickBooks. Tradify also syncs to MYOB, which matters if your accountant works in MYOB.
One tool. One job. Quote sent before you reach the ute.
