Which should you choose?
ServiceM8 and Tradify are both Tier S: our check found each one's prices published on its own website, so you can compare their costs before talking to sales. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Ireland-specific notes below against your trade and region.
ServiceM8
Tier S · Published pricesiPhone-first job management app for small service businesses, priced in euro by jobs per month, with a free plan
ServiceM8 is job management software for small service contractors, covering scheduling, quotes, invoicing and job cards, sold in Ireland through its EU site with euro prices. Plans are priced per account by jobs per month, with unlimited users on paid plans and a free plan for one user. ServiceM8 says it optimises for Apple devices and recommends iPhones or iPads; Android users get ServiceM8 Lite, which covers the basics.
Pros
- + Published euro prices with a free plan (1 user, 30 jobs a month)
- + Unlimited users on paid plans; price is set by monthly job count
- + No contracts, setup fees or per-user fees, according to ServiceM8
- + Connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online
Cons
- − Built for Apple devices; Android users get ServiceM8 Lite with the basics
- − Price rises with monthly job volume
- − No Irish-specific site or payroll features
- − Aimed at small service businesses rather than large operations
Ireland note
ServiceM8 has no Irish-specific site; Irish customers use its EU site, which prices in euro. It connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online (MYOB is Australia and New Zealand only). Its EU pages list no payroll features, so Irish payroll and Revenue submissions need a separate payroll package.
Tradify
Tier S · Published pricesJob-management app for small trades businesses, sold in Ireland in euro; part of The Access Group
Tradify is job-management software for small trades businesses from New Zealand, and the UK's Access Group agreed to buy it in October 2024. Its Irish site covers quoting, scheduling, timesheets, job tracking, invoicing and online payments, with sync to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks Online. Tradify says tens of thousands of tradespeople use it.
Pros
- + Published euro prices per user, with a 14-day free trial of all features
- + Quoting, scheduling, job tracking and invoicing in one app
- + Syncs with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks Online
- + Online card payments through Stripe
Cons
- − Priced per user, so cost grows with team size
- − No payroll: pair it with an Irish payroll product
- − Purchase orders, bulk invoicing and AI tools sit on the higher Plus plan
Ireland note
Tradify has an Irish site with prices in euro per user per month and a 14-day free trial. It syncs with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks Online for accounting, but it does not list payroll among its features, so Irish employers still need separate payroll software for Revenue reporting.
