TradieAus gives you tools. Admin Substitute gives you outcomes.
$26/mo sounds great — until you realise you're still doing the admin yourself. We automate the work so you can focus on the tools.
Most Aussie tradies are still running on spreadsheets and manual processes. The ones embracing AI are saving 7–12 hours a week on admin alone.
It's not about price. It's about what you get back.
AI that works for you
Quotes generate themselves. Leads get instant responses. Follow-ups happen without you thinking about it. TradieAus gives you a form to fill in.
Less admin, more profit
AI-enabled businesses consistently report higher profitability through reduced admin overhead and faster cash flow. TradieAus charges $10/mo per AI add-on separately — ours are all built-in.
9+ hours back per week
Our Growth plan saves tradies 9 hours of admin per week. That's $43k per year in your time. TradieAus still needs you to do the work.
Feature-by-feature comparison
Full breakdown — no spin, just facts
The real cost of “$26/month”
“SMS reminders?”
Add-on. $10/mo extra. Our Starter includes 200 SMS credits.
“Automated follow-ups?”
Not included. You still chase leads manually. We auto-respond to every lead in seconds.
“AI quoting?”
Doesn't exist on TradieAus. Our AI generates quotes from a job description in under 30 seconds.
“Invoice chasing?”
Manual. You send reminders yourself. Ours auto-chase and track recovery rates.
“Review collection?”
Manual. Copy-paste a link and hope. Ours auto-sends review requests after every completed job.
When you add SMS, extra users, and premium add-ons, TradieAus realistically costs $56–76/mo.
And you still don't get any AI, automation, or integrations depth.
