simPRO pricing in Australia: what is public and what you have to ask for
simPRO does not publish plan prices on its Australian pricing page. It lists one base plan by feature and asks visitors to request pricing through a demo form. Minimum user counts and onboarding fees are not stated. Add-ons such as Digital Forms, an extra Data Feed, Maintenance Planner, Takeoffs, Simtrac GPS tracking and SMS are named but not priced.

simPRO
simPRO suits mid sized and larger trade or specialty contracting businesses that need project costing, inventory and multi company reporting depth, and that are prepared to go through a sales conversation rather than a self-serve signup, since nothing here is priced on the website.
What it costs
No published price basis exists. simPRO's Australian pricing page does not state a currency, a GST treatment, or a billing cycle for its one base plan, because no figure is shown for it at all.. Prices captured 25 Sep 2026 from simPRO.
| Plan | 1 user | 3 users | 8 users | How we worked it out | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| simPRO | Base plan (one tier, quote only) | Quote required | Quote required | Quote required | simPRO's pricing page shows a single Request Pricing button for the base plan regardless of user count. No self-serve figure exists for 1, 3 or 8 users; every number comes from a sales conversation, not the website. |

Declared bias: we build on ServiceM8
FFP Digital is a ServiceM8 developer, a tool that competes with simPRO for the same trade businesses. That gives us a reason to prefer ServiceM8, so read this page knowing where we stand. Everything below is what simPRO's own Australian marketing site shows and does not show; we have not called simPRO's sales team to get a quote, and we say plainly wherever a figure simply is not published.
What simPRO's pricing page actually shows
simPRO's pricing page lists one base plan by feature rather than by dollar figure. It covers quoting and estimating, field and contractor scheduling, real time inventory and purchasing, field operations management, invoicing and payments, accounting and finance, reporting and business intelligence, multi company support, and 3 included data feeds. There is no second or third tier shown alongside it, and no price sits next to any of those features.
The only call to action on the page is a Request Pricing button, which leads to a demo booking form. That is the entire self-serve pricing journey simPRO offers in Australia: you give your details, and someone from their sales team gets back to you with a number.
What is quote only versus what simPRO names but does not price
A handful of add-ons are named on the same page without a dollar figure attached: Digital Forms, an additional Data Feed beyond the 3 included, Maintenance Planner, Takeoffs, Simtrac GPS fleet tracking, and SMS. Each is sold separately, and simPRO does not say what any of them cost.
Two questions a lot of buyers ask are also unanswered on the page: how many users you need to start, and whether there is a setup or onboarding fee on top of the subscription. Neither a minimum seat count nor an implementation fee is published, so if either matters to your budget, you will need to ask simPRO's sales team directly and get the answer in writing before you sign anything.
What this means if you are budgeting
Because nothing here is self-serve, you cannot line up simPRO against a tool like ServiceM8 or Tradify on price alone from the website. The practical approach is to book the demo, then ask for a written quote covering your exact user count, which of the named add-ons you actually need, any onboarding or data migration fee, and the contract length, since none of those four things appear on the public page. Get that in writing before comparing it to a competitor's published monthly price, because a verbal figure on a sales call is not the same as a number you can hold them to.
Common complaints and catches
simPRO
- A steep learning curve and a setup process reviewers describe as lengthy compared to simpler job management tools
- Mobile app stability and speed complaints from field staff
- An interface some reviewers call dated next to newer competitors
- Support response times reviewers describe as slow at busier times
- Add-on costs that reviewers say were not obvious until after the initial sales quote
Switching to or from it
Moving onto simPRO means asking its sales or implementation team what your specific migration involves, since neither a fee nor a timeline for it is published; get that scoped in writing alongside the price quote. Moving off simPRO, customers and price list items are the easiest to export; job history, custom forms and stock records typically need a planned export before you cancel, so confirm your data export options with simPRO before you give notice.
FFP Digital is a ServiceM8 developer and builds for Cliniko clinics. We have tried to be fair; prices are the vendors' own published figures on the date shown.
