OneBookPlus vs Tradify
The complete Tradify alternative

How OneBookPlus Replaces Tradify — And Your Accounting App Too

Tradify handles job management well — quoting, scheduling, timesheets, and tracking materials. But it doesn't do your books. That means you still need Xero or MYOB running alongside it, syncing data between two systems, paying two subscriptions, and reconciling discrepancies every BAS quarter. OneBookPlus eliminates that split entirely. Jobs, invoices, expenses, bank feeds, and GST reporting live in one place, purpose-built for Australian sole traders and small teams in the trades.

Where Tradify thinks in jobs and tasks, OneBookPlus thinks in cash flow. Every quote you send, every invoice that gets paid, and every supplier receipt you snap on your phone feeds directly into your financial picture — no exports, no journal entries, no accountant-speak. You see what you've earned, what you're owed, and what the taxman needs, updated in real time.

Feature Deep Dive

AI-Powered Bank Feed Categorisation: OneBookPlus connects directly to your bank via Australia's Consumer Data Right framework. Every transaction is pulled in automatically and categorised using AI trained on trades-specific spending patterns — Bunnings runs, fuel stops, tool purchases, subcontractor payments. Instead of manually coding 200 transactions a month, you review and confirm what the AI has already sorted.

Instant Quoting to Invoice Pipeline: Create a quote on site from your phone, send it for approval, and convert it to an invoice with one tap once the job's done. Materials, labour, and markup are carried through automatically. Payment reminders go out on schedule, and when the client pays, the transaction matches to your bank feed without you touching it.

GST & BAS Built Into Every Transaction: Every line item, every expense, every invoice has GST handled natively — not bolted on via an accounting integration. When BAS time comes, your figures are already calculated. No exporting from Tradify into Xero, no chasing missing receipts across two apps, no last-minute reconciliation panic. OneBookPlus generates BAS-ready reports directly.

Who Should Switch

• ✓Sole traders paying for both Tradify and an accounting app — you can consolidate into one platform and one subscription.
• ✓Tradies spending hours each month manually entering bank transactions or reconciling between systems.
• ✓Small trade businesses that need quoting, invoicing, and GST reporting but don't need Tradify's crew scheduling or fleet tracking features.

Stay with Tradify if: you run a larger operation with multiple crews, need detailed job costing across complex multi-stage projects, or rely heavily on Tradify's scheduling and timesheet features for staff management.

Getting Started

Switching takes about fifteen minutes. Start by connecting your business bank account — OneBookPlus pulls in your recent transactions automatically via CDR. Next, import your client list from Tradify using a CSV export (Tradify > Customers > Export). Set your default GST treatment, ABN, and payment terms. From there, any new quotes and invoices happen in OneBookPlus, and your bank feed keeps your books current without the second app.
