Compare ServiceYak
ServiceYak against the alternatives
Honest, dated comparisons against the job management apps Australian tradies actually shortlist — using each vendor's own published pricing, with the rows they beat us on marked as such.
- TradifyServiceYak vs TradifyTwo apps built for the same job, priced very differently. Tradify splits its features across three tiers; ServiceYak puts all of them on one $37 seat. Here's the comparison, with Tradify's own published figures.
- AroFloServiceYak vs AroFloAroFlo is a deep, long-established field service platform that doesn't publish a price. ServiceYak is $37 a seat with every feature in it and a 30-day trial you can start now. Here's the honest comparison of two products aimed at different ends of the market.
- SimproServiceYak vs SimproSimpro is built for commercial contractors with stock, project stages and progress claims. ServiceYak is built for the crew that quotes, schedules, invoices and gets paid. This one is about fit, not feature counts.
- JobberServiceYak vs JobberJobber is one of the biggest home-service platforms in the world, and it doesn't price in Australian dollars. ServiceYak is $37 a seat in AUD, ex GST, with every feature on one plan. Here's the comparison, using Jobber's own published pricing.
- ServiceM8ServiceYak vs ServiceM8ServiceM8 meters the work you do and sells much of its functionality as separate add-ons. ServiceYak caps nothing and ships one plan with everything in it. Here's where the two genuinely differ — including the things ServiceM8 does better.
- FergusServiceYak vs FergusFergus splits its features across two plans and beats us outright on supplier price books, MYOB and safety forms. ServiceYak puts everything on one $37 seat. This is the closest comparison in the set, and we've written it that way.
- SpreadsheetsServiceYak vs spreadsheets and paperMost trade businesses start on a spreadsheet, a docket book and a phone full of photos, and plenty run well that way for years. Here's what actually changes when the job moves into one app — and where the spreadsheet still wins.
- XeroXero and ServiceYak: which does whatXero runs your books. ServiceYak runs the work that produces them. They're not alternatives — they connect — and this page is about which job belongs to which, so you're not trying to make one do the other's.
