Our Honest Take

simPRO is powerful — but it's enterprise software at enterprise prices, built for Australian companies. For a South African tradie running a 1-5 person operation, TradiQuote does exactly what you need at a fraction of the cost.

Why SA Tradies Choose TradiQuote Over simPRO

Three reasons small SA trade operations switch away from complex enterprise tools.

🚀

Ready in 15 Minutes, Not 15 Days

simPRO takes weeks to set up and requires training. TradiQuote takes 15 minutes — add your details, logo, and product list, then start quoting on your next job.

💰

R189/month vs R1,300–R4,000+/month

simPRO's enterprise pricing isn't built for the SA small business. TradiQuote is free to start — 8 quotes free, then R189/month. Priced for a one-tradie or small-team SA operation, in Rand, not Australian dollars.

🎯

Built for How SA Tradies Actually Work

Quote on site in 4 minutes. WhatsApp the link. Client signs. Deposit invoice sent. That's the whole flow. simPRO's complexity is designed for complex job management — not a quick on-site quote.

Pricing Comparison

The cost difference is significant for a small SA trade operation.

Common Questions

Is simPRO available in South Africa?
simPRO is an Australian enterprise field service management platform that is available internationally. However, it is an enterprise product designed for large trade businesses — typically 10+ staff with complex job costing, compliance tracking, and project management needs. It prices in AUD and is considerably more complex than most SA small trade operations require.
Who is simPRO designed for?
simPRO targets larger trade businesses — electrical, plumbing, and HVAC contractors with multiple technicians, complex job costing requirements, and enterprise compliance needs. It is not designed for the single-tradie or small team South African tradesperson who needs to quote on site and collect a deposit before driving home.
How does TradiQuote pricing compare to simPRO?
simPRO pricing is enterprise-level — typically starting at AUD 99/month or more (approximately R1,300–R4,000+/month depending on the plan and number of users). TradiQuote is free to start — send your first 8 quotes free with no credit card, then it's R189/month. Cancel anytime. For a small SA trade operation, the value comparison is clear.
What does TradiQuote do that simPRO doesn't?
TradiQuote includes AI-written proposal generation — you fill in job details and it writes a professional scope, timeline, and intro in seconds. simPRO doesn't have this. TradiQuote is also mobile-first, designed for quoting in 4 minutes on a job site, and priced specifically for the South African market in Rand.
