Tradify Review UK (2026)
Tradify is straightforward trade job-management software with public UK pricing and a capable mobile app. LandscapeBase is our stronger fit when the business revolves around detailed garden builds and live project margin.

The company behind Tradify
Tradify says founder Curtis Bailey moved from electrical engineering into software after experiencing the paperwork and administration of running a trade business. Founded in 2013 and based in Auckland, New Zealand, the company builds job-management software for trades rather than one specific industry. It says its purpose is to help tradespeople run better businesses while spending less time on administration. The product connects enquiries, quotes, schedules, timesheets, supplier bills and invoices in a mobile-friendly job record. Its commercial model is deliberately transparent for UK buyers: public GBP tiers charged per user and a 14-day trial. That clarity suits small teams, but every additional user increases the total. In contrast, LandscapeBase pricing is quote-only but includes unlimited users and every feature.
Pricing and plan choice
Tradify publishes Lite at £34, Pro at £37 and Plus at £44 per user/month. Lite covers core scheduling, quotes and invoices; Pro adds job costing, progress invoicing and subcontractor scheduling; Plus adds purchasing, reusable kits and deeper reporting. Map every trial feature back to its paid tier, then compare the result with LandscapeBase Auto Costing.
Who should choose it?
Tradify suits a small trade or maintenance team that wants a simple mobile workflow and predictable GBP pricing. A landscaping builder should test supplier changes, approved variations and margin on a real staged project. Compare the evidence in our estimating guide and margin guide, then return to the software hub or overall comparison. Use the same project in a LandscapeBase demo.
What to test in the trial
- Map every feature used during the trial back to Lite, Pro or Plus.
- Move a maintenance round for rain without duplicating jobs or losing reminders.
- Add a supplier increase and approved variation to a staged garden build.
- Compare the resulting job record with LandscapeBase Auto-logging, including photos and receipts.
