Jobbit vs Tradify (2026)
Updated 1 August 2026
Short answer: Tradify is a solid, widely recommended job management platform priced per user — good for small fixed teams across iOS/Android/web. Jobbit is free to start, iPhone-only, and built for the solo tradie who wants quoting → invoicing → payment done from the ute, not the office.

Where Tradify wins
Cross-platform (Android crew members can use it), an established reputation, and quick onboarding — most businesses are running within a day. If your team is fixed at 2–4 users and you're happy with per-seat pricing, it's dependable.
Where Jobbit wins
Cost of entry and phone-first speed. Per-user pricing has a compounding cost: at ~US$50/user/month, a 3-person crew is roughly A$2,700+ a year — Jobbit starts on a free plan, and its paid plans ($29.99–$149.99/month) aren't per-seat maths. And the workflow is built around the moments sole traders leak money: the quote that goes out same-visit instead of Sunday night, the invoice sent before the ute's packed, payment by bank transfer with no card fees eaten.
The honest recommendation
- Solo or small crew, everyone on iPhone: Jobbit — the free plan starts today.
- Mixed Android/iPhone team: Tradify (Jobbit has no Android app yet).
- Care about per-seat cost: do the maths — users × US$47+ × 12 vs free-to-start.
