How to use it
- Enter the number of users (people who will log in) and roughly how many jobs your crew completes in a month.
- ServiceM8's price is picked from your jobs a month, since every paid plan includes unlimited users.
- Tradify, AroFlo and Jobber are priced from your user count, on each vendor's mid tier plan.
- Fergus shows its published flat plan price, and simPRO always shows as quote only; call the vendor to confirm before you commit.
Why these tools do not price the same way
These five tools do not price the same thing. ServiceM8 charges by job volume with unlimited users on every paid plan, so a crew that grows in headcount but not in job count pays nothing extra. Tradify, AroFlo and Jobber charge per user, so every login adds a seat cost regardless of how many jobs that person actually does. Fergus publishes a flat plan price rather than a stated per user rate, and its own pricing page does not say how many staff that base price includes.
None of this is wrong, it just means the cheapest tool depends entirely on the shape of your business, not on a single number.
How the calculator reads your numbers
This calculator reads your crew size and jobs a month against a small table taken from each vendor's own pricing page, dated 25 September 2026. ServiceM8's plan is chosen by your jobs a month, since users are unlimited. Tradify, AroFlo and Jobber are priced against the entered user count, using each vendor's mid tier plan (Tradify Pro, Fergus Professional, Jobber Grow) as the closest match to a working trade crew.
simPRO does not publish self serve pricing at all, so it always shows as quote only.
What this calculator leaves out
Two things this tool does not do. It does not convert Jobber's USD prices to AUD, add GST, or add card processing fees, since none of those are fixed figures worth baking into a planning tool. It also does not compute AroFlo's exact price above 3 users: AroFlo publishes a sliding scale that lowers its $80 per user rate as headcount grows, but does not publish the lower rate itself, so above 3 users the figure shown is a floor, not a final quote.
Treat every result here as a starting point for calling the vendor, not as the number on your invoice.
