Why Contractors Look for a Tradify Alternative
Built for the US market
Tradify is excellent for AU/NZ tradies but US contractors run into region-specific friction (sales tax, payment processors, terminology). CrewConductor's stack is US-first — Stripe, IRS-aligned tax handling, US-style invoicing.
Flat pricing, no per-user math
Per-user pricing punishes growing crews. CrewConductor's $49/$99/$199 tiers cap at crew counts (5/25/75) so adding the next tech doesn't raise the bill until you graduate tiers.
Trade specialty assignment
Multi-trade shops benefit from tagging crew by HVAC vs electrical vs plumbing and assigning jobs accordingly. CrewConductor has this in the core; Tradify treats it as notes.
When Tradify wins
If you're an AU/NZ-based tradie or a US shop deeply invested in Tradify's mobile app already, Tradify is mature. CrewConductor's mobile is a web app, not native — fine for most workflows but not pixel-perfect.
