Our pick for most tradies is Tradies Line, because it chases unpaid invoices for you, by phone if it has to. Wombo, the AI office manager, drafts the invoice from the job, and with reminders on it sends emails, then, once TradiesLine Pay is connected, texts and short AI calls that text the pay link. None of the others we checked mention chasing by phone: Xero, MYOB and Invoice2go remind by email, and ServiceM8 and Tradify by email and text.
No card, no time limit.

We make Tradies Line, so weigh what we say about ourselves. This page covers where Tradies Line does more; each product's own site has the rest. Every fact about another product comes from that company's own website or app store listing, linked under each one, checked on 6 October 2026. Prices are per month as each site shows them, including whether GST is added. Tradies Line is not GST registered, so its prices are the full price.
All six send automatic reminders. Xero, MYOB and Invoice2go remind by email; ServiceM8 and Tradify (from Pro) also send texts. Tradies Line sends 3 emails, then, once TradiesLine Pay is connected, 2 texts and up to 5 short AI phone calls that text the pay link, from your plan's allowance. None of the others mention reminder calls.
Tradies Line has an AI receptionist that answers the calls you miss and books the job the invoice comes from, on paid plans or on Free with a calls top-up. ServiceM8 sells an AI Phone Agent as a paid phone add-on. Xero, MYOB, Tradify and Invoice2go don't mention call answering.
As of October 2026, Tradify's prices are plus GST, while Xero, ServiceM8 and Solo by MYOB include GST. Tradies Line isn't GST registered, so its prices are the full price.
For your books, GST and BAS, yes. Tradies Line sends the invoice with a pay link, syncs a copy to Xero, and marks it paid when it's paid in Xero.
Jobs, quotes, invoices and every customer message in one place, with Wombo doing the admin while you're on the tools.
