Looking for a Tradify alternative tailored for Trades & Construction? Clever Ops builds custom industry tools solutions that fit your exact trades & construction workflows. No monthly fees, no feature restrictions — just powerful tools you own.
Tradify is a capable tool, but it comes with limitations that may not suit your business.
Per-user pricing becomes expensive as trade teams grow
Limited customisation of templates and forms
Integration options fewer than larger platforms
Reporting is functional but not deeply customisable
Scheduling features lack advanced optimisation
No dedicated customer portal for client self-service

Why mid-market Australian businesses choose custom-built over Tradify.
Tradify charges From $35/user/month; all features included at one price. A custom solution is a one-time investment — you own it outright with no monthly fees, no per-user charges, and no surprise price increases.
Unlike Tradify's one-size-fits-all approach, we build industry tools solutions for Trades & Construction that match how your business actually operates. Every feature, field, and automation is tailored to your processes.
Our Harvard-educated team brings 12+ years of experience building custom solutions for mid-market Australian businesses. We understand what $1M–$50M annual revenue businesses actually need.
Custom solutions have no per-user licensing. Whether your team is 5 or 50, the cost stays the same. Scale your business without scaling your software costs.
Tradify limits integrations to their marketplace. Custom solutions connect directly via API to any tool in your stack — including industry-specific and legacy systems common for Trades & Construction.
Skip the overseas call centres and chatbot mazes. Our team in Gippsland, Victoria provides direct access to the developers who built your system, not generic support agents.
You own the system entirely — no vendor lock-in, no data hostage, no forced upgrades
Per-user and tier-based pricing penalises business growth on Tradify
Your data inside Tradify is subject to their terms, their pricing, and their continued existence
