Even on Tradify Plus, its dearest plan, three people pay less than AroFlo's three-seat floor before AroFlo's setup package is added. AroFlo is the heavier tool: stock control, Gantt project planning and multiple business units, for firms that need them.
Where they really differ
One person or three
Tradify bills only the users you have, from $48 per user ex GST, so a sole trader pays for one seat. AroFlo's pricing card sets a minimum of three users at a starting rate of $80, which gets cheaper per head as the team grows; the full scale isn't published. (Tradify pricing, checked )
Trying before buying
Tradify gives 14 days with every feature and no credit card, plus free training and support to set up. AroFlo's pricing page offers a demo, and its FAQ prices the Smart Start onboarding package from $1,450. (AroFlo FAQ, checked )
Stock, purchasing and projects
AroFlo's single plan includes stock control with reorder kits, Gantt-chart project management and multi-business-unit support. Tradify keeps purchase orders, kit bundles and reporting for Plus at $62 per user ex GST and doesn't list stock control. (AroFlo pricing, checked )
Forms and certificates
Both cover compliance paperwork. Tradify adds health and safety forms and compliance certificates on Pro at $52 per user ex GST; AroFlo builds compliance and safety forms into its one plan. (Tradify pricing, checked )
