Short answer: Tradify is a solid, simple job-tracking app, but it’s built in New Zealand and stays deliberately lightweight. Looplet is built on the Gold Coast for Australian trades and adds AI quoting, voice control, Android Auto and a customer portal on top of job management — with unlimited jobs and weekly AUD billing. If you want an Australian-built platform that does more than track jobs, Looplet is the closer fit.

Built in Australia, for Australian rules
Looplet is built on the Gold Coast and designed around the way Australian trades actually operate — AUD pricing inclusive of GST, and workflows shaped around AU requirements like QBCC, the ATO and BYDA / Dial Before You Dig. Tradify is built in New Zealand and serves multiple markets. Both work in Australia; Looplet is built for it.
More than job tracking
Tradify is intentionally simple — quotes, jobs, timesheets, invoices. That simplicity is genuinely a strength if that’s all you need. Looplet covers the same ground and adds:
- AI quote drafting — describe the job, get a structured quote to edit and send
- Voice notes & Android Auto — capture job details hands-free from the ute
- Customer portal — clients approve quotes and track jobs themselves
If you want CRM, field operations and AI in the same tool, that’s where Looplet pulls ahead. See the operations page.
Pricing: weekly AUD vs monthly per user
Looplet bills weekly in AUD inclusive of GST, with 3 skip weeks a year for slow patches, and a free-forever Free Starter plan for sole tradies. Tradify bills monthly. Looplet’s plans:
- Free Starter — $0, free forever
- Growing Pain Relief — $17.31/week (~$75/mo), up to 3 users
- Premium Edge — $103.62/week (~$449/mo), up to 15 users
At launch, the first 6 months are free on every paid plan.
When Tradify might still suit you
If you want the simplest possible job tracker, already use Tradify happily, and don’t need AI or a customer portal, Tradify does its job well. Looplet’s advantage is for crews that want an Australian-built, AI-powered platform that grows from sole trader to multi-trade business in one place.
