Our Verdict

Tradify works well for NZ and AU tradespeople. But if your business runs in South Africa — quoting in Rand, collecting EFT deposits, complying with ECTA — TradiQuote is the purpose-built choice.

Why SA Tradies Choose TradiQuote

Three reasons South African tradespeople switch from Tradify.

🇿🇦

No Currency Conversion

NZD fluctuates against the Rand. TradiQuote is free to start, then a fixed R189/month — no surprises, no foreign transaction fees, no exchange rate risk.

ECTA-Compliant E-Signature

TradiQuote's digital signatures are built to meet the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002. Send it with confidence — it holds up in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tradify available in South Africa?

Tradify is a New Zealand field service management platform available internationally, but it's designed primarily for NZ and Australian tradespeople. Pricing is in NZD, and the product is built around AU/NZ tax, invoicing, and compliance requirements — not South Africa.

What makes TradiQuote better than Tradify for SA tradies?

TradiQuote is designed specifically for South Africa. It prices in Rand, generates proposals with AI in seconds, includes ECTA-compliant e-signatures, and sends deposit invoices with your SA bank account details. Tradify doesn't have AI proposal writing and requires currency conversion for SA users.

How much does Tradify cost vs TradiQuote?

Tradify starts at approximately NZD 35/month (roughly R350–R400/month depending on exchange rate). TradiQuote is free to start — your first 8 quotes cost nothing, then R189/month. No currency risk, no foreign transaction fees.

Does Tradify support digital e-signatures?

Tradify includes basic e-signature functionality, but it is not specifically built around South African law (the ECTA). TradiQuote's e-signature is designed to comply with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002, which governs digital signatures in South Africa.
