Looking for Tradify alternatives, or want to compare it to NextMinute? Read our helpful, transparent comparison of both products below.
While Tradify is a great fit for tradies running quick service jobs, like electricians or maintenance techs, it’s not built for managing longer projects with multiple stages and crew members.
NextMinute is designed specifically for Aussie residential builders, carpenters, landscapers, and other project-focused trades who need more than just job tracking.
With powerful tools for quoting, scheduling, timesheets, project planning, and real-time job costing, NextMinute helps you keep control from the first quote to the final invoice.
Whether you’re managing renovations, new builds, or multi-day site work, it’s the smarter choice for trades who think in stages — not service calls.

Reviews
Rated 4.9/5 in Reviews on Google and Facebook, with local Aussie support that actually helps.
"We are extremely happy as a small company it has made our lives so much easier. Keeping track of individual job costs and reporting made easy. Not to mention how easy it is to sync timesheets to payroll with one click. Could not recommend this app enough for big or small companies you won’t regret it."

View ReviewsWe’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.
Yes, we are a local Aussie and Kiwi business. While some other platforms have been bought out by big foreign companies, we’re still right here, focused specifically on the needs of tradies in our part of the world.
NextMinute is very competitive, especially for teams of 3 to 15 people. For a crew of five, you'll often find it's more cost-effective than other platforms, and you get more advanced project management features included as standard.
It’s perfect for project-focussed trades like builders, chippies, landscapers, roofers, and pool builders. If your jobs involve multiple stages and a crew on site for more than just a few hours, this is the tool for you.
Spot on. For bigger projects, you can't just send one invoice at the end. NextMinute makes it easy to handle progress payments and track client variations separately, so you aren't chewing up your margin on extras that weren't in the original quote.
NextMinute gives you a much deeper look at your money by tracking actuals versus estimates at every stage of the job. You can see your labour, materials, and equipment costs in real-time, whereas more basic tools often only look at the job as a whole.
It sure does. Unlike some other apps that only give you a basic calendar, we have a full drag-and-drop Gantt chart. You can plan out every stage of a build, assign tasks to the crew, and if dates shift, you can move everything at once.
While Tradify is great for quick service calls, NextMinute is built specifically for long-term residential projects. It handles multi-stage jobs like new builds and renos, giving you a proper Gantt chart and detailed back-costing that simple service apps usually lack.
