The key difference

Per-user pricing vs a flat rate that makes sense

For a sole trader, the most important number is the monthly cost. Tradify's per-user pricing was designed for teams.

PayReady

Flat price. Mobile-first. Built for here.

€29/month (or €24/month annual) in Ireland. £25/month (£20 annual) in the UK. PayReady AI quote from plain English in 30 seconds. WhatsApp send. PayReady AI-written payment chasers. Built specifically for sole traders in the UK and Ireland.

Tradify

Per-user pricing. Desktop-first. ANZ primary market.

€38-49 per user per month in Ireland. Tradify started in New Zealand and Australia - UK and Ireland are secondary markets. Feature-rich for trade businesses with teams, but that complexity and price is hard to justify for a sole trader.
