Tradies Line is our pick for a Tradify alternative if you want AI staff doing the office work and one price for the business, not per user. Wombo, the AI office manager, drafts quotes and invoices and chases what's owed, and the AI receptionist answers and books your calls. Tradify charges for every user, plus GST, and doesn't name call answering.
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.
As of October 2026, Tradify has a 14-day trial with no card, and no free plan. Tradies Line has a free plan with one login and lifetime caps of 50 customers, quotes and invoices, with no card and no time limit.
Yes. As of October 2026, Tradify charges for every user on its listed plans, plus GST, so the bill grows with your crew. Tradies Line is priced per business with no GST added, and Pro and Enterprise include unlimited logins.
Tradify's site doesn't name call answering. Tradies Line's AI receptionist answers the calls you miss on your existing number and books the job, on paid plans or on Free with a calls top-up.
On its Pro plan and up, Tradify sends up to 4 email and 4 text reminders on a fixed schedule, and the texts are a 20c add-on. Tradies Line sends 3 emails, then, once TradiesLine Pay is connected, 2 texts and up to 5 short AI calls that text the pay link, from your plan's allowance.
Yes, both do. Tradify says it pushes the financial information from your jobs to Xero automatically. 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.
