Both help tradies manage jobs. But only one uses AI to estimate jobs in seconds and gives you live Aussie supplier pricing. Here is the honest comparison.
The biggest difference is how you get charged for your team.
One price regardless of team size.

The things Tradify simply can't do.
Describe a job in plain English and FMN builds a priced estimate in seconds. Tradify doesn't do this at all.
FMN pulls real-time pricing from Australian suppliers so your quotes are accurate. Tradify relies on you entering prices manually.
Add your whole crew without your bill going up. Tradify charges per user, so a 5-person team costs $240-$310/month before you even start.
Honest about where they're still ahead.
Tradify has a mature Xero integration. FMN's is coming soon.
Tradify has been around longer with a larger integration marketplace.
Tradify's mobile app is well-established for field use.
