Plana vs Tradify

Job management that knows what a sign is.

Tradify is built for tradies quoting, scheduling and invoicing site work. Plana is built for the things a sign shop does that a tradie doesn't: artwork, proofs, sheets of material and dozens of signs on one job.

A job in Plana: its items, due date, quoted value, customer and recent activity

Which one fits your business?

Tradify is made for
  • Quoting, scheduling and invoicing for trade businesses
  • Timesheets for staff on site
  • Teams who mostly work at the customer's place
Plana is made for
  • Every sign on the job, with its material, size and processes
  • Customer artwork and proofs on the job, approved in one link
  • Materials priced from your suppliers, with your markup
  • Emails sorted by job, so nothing gets lost in the inbox
  • See what's waiting on artwork, printing or ready to install

What stays the same

Plana makes the quotes and invoices, but it doesn't do your books. Keep Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks for that.

Questions

We're a small shop. Is Plana too much?
No. It was built alongside a small Sydney sign shop. The free plan gives you one job with every feature, so you can try it on real work first.
Can we bring our customers across?
Yes. Your customers and suppliers come in as companies and people, and Plana also picks them up from your email as it reads it.
