Looking at a Tradify alternative?Start where the job starts.

Tradify is job management software. It schedules the work, tracks the hours and sends the invoice, and it does that well. What it is not built for is the part that decides whether you get the job at all: the enquiry. inflow is a lead inbox. Every message lands in one feed, a reply is drafted in your own words, and the quote goes out in the same thread.

Why people look

Why people go looking for a Tradify alternative

01

The per-user price

Tradify charges per user, per month: €38 to €49 each depending on the plan. A three-person crew on the middle plan is €126 a month before the extras, and reviewers say exactly that. Text messages to customers cost extra per message.

02

It is a lot of system

Quoting, scheduling, timesheets, subcontractors, invoicing. If you run a bigger operation, that depth is the point. If you are a one-van business or a small crew, you end up paying for an office suite when what you needed was to answer the 9pm WhatsApp before your competitor does.

03

Enquiries are not really its thing

Tradify's enquiry capture works from website forms and email. It does not advertise WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, a shared inbox or drafted replies. For most Irish trade businesses, WhatsApp is where the actual leads are.

What inflow does instead

Start where the job starts: the first message

One inbox

Every enquiry, every channel, one feed

WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email and your website form land in the same inbox, newest first, and the Unanswered tab shows what still needs a reply. No more five apps checked at night.

Who should stick with Tradify

Honest answer: if you have office staff, subcontractors to manage, timesheets to track and you invoice through Xero or QuickBooks, Tradify is built for you and inflow is not trying to be. inflow has no scheduling, no timesheets and no accounting sync. Plenty of businesses could even run both: Tradify for the job, inflow for the enquiry.

Who should choose inflow

You answer your own messages, mostly from the van. Your leads come in on WhatsApp and Instagram as much as the website. You have lost work to a slower reply, quotes go quiet because nobody has time to chase them, and your phone is the pipeline. That is the exact business inflow is built for.

Quick questions

Before you decide

Is inflow a full replacement for Tradify?

Only if what you use Tradify for is quoting and customer contact. inflow does not do scheduling, timesheets or accounting sync. It replaces the messy front end of the job: enquiries, replies and quotes.

What does inflow cost?

One monthly price with everything in it, cancel anytime. The number is announced at launch, and everyone on the waitlist hears it first.

Do my customers need to change anything?

No. They keep messaging you on WhatsApp, Instagram or wherever they found you. Only your side changes.

Does anything send without me seeing it?

No. Drafts wait for your tap, and nothing goes out unless you send it.

If your problem is enquiries, not admin

inflow is the lead inbox for Irish trade businesses. First access goes to the waitlist, in order.
