Who Should Choose What?
Honest takes on every option
Choose Invven if…
You want AI features no other platform has — AI Receptionist, Photo to Quote, Voice to Invoice. Serious inventory management with barcode scanning. Stealth Margins to protect your markup. Built by someone who ran a trade business for 26 years.
Choose Tradify if…
You want the simplest possible setup with zero learning curve. A 1–5 person team that just needs quotes and invoices done fast — with minimal features to learn.
Choose Fergus if…
You have large commercial contracts and need 100+ supplier integrations to auto-match invoices. A bigger operation with complex multi-trade workflows and a dedicated office team.
Choose ServiceM8 if…
You're based in Australia and need a platform with strong AU-specific compliance features. ServiceM8 is AU-built and AU-focused — but lacks MYOB and NZ-specific support.
