The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Skedulo not a trades suite: no estimating, invoicing or customer-facing quoting pipeline; Tradify pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
  • They diverge on capability: Skedulo covers Scheduling optimisation, Tradify covers Quoting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Skedulo

  • Organisations on Salesforce needing deskless scheduling inside itnot Tradify
  • Workforces where travel time materially affects how many jobs fit in a daynot Tradify

Tradify

  • A three person electrical contractor on Xero wants quotes, timesheets and invoices in one app and refuses to sit through a demo or pay a setup fee.not Skedulo
  • A plumbing firm needs technicians recording labour hours against jobs from a phone so the invoice reflects what was actually spent rather than what the office guessed.not Skedulo
  • A UK trade business wants published pricing in pounds it can budget against, instead of the quote-only approach ServiceTitan and FieldEdge take.not Skedulo
  • A builder wants to send professionally branded quotes fast enough to be first to respond, where the win rate depends on turnaround more than on document sophistication.not Skedulo

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Skedulo

  • Not a trades suite: no estimating, invoicing or customer-facing quoting pipeline
  • Quote-only pricing with no published rates
  • Heavily oriented to Salesforce, and less compelling without it
  • Optimisation quality depends on accurate skill and availability data, which is a data-hygiene commitment

Tradify

  • Pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
  • The advertised per-user price excludes SMS, which is charged per message, the Instant Website add-on at roughly ten pounds a month, and Stripe card processing fees, so a Pro seat sending two hundred texts a month can cost close to double the sticker price.
  • There is no free tier and no permanently free single-user plan, so a sole trader testing the water is paying from the end of the trial.
  • Inventory and stock control are minimal: it can bundle kits and raise purchase orders but will not track stock levels on vans or in a store, which rules it out for firms carrying real parts inventory.
  • It has no service agreement, recurring maintenance contract or flat-rate pricebook functionality, so HVAC and other maintenance-contract businesses outgrow it quickly and end up moving to FieldEdge or ServiceTitan.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Skedulo: What does Skedulo cost?

Quoted per organisation and not published.

Tradify: How much does Tradify actually cost per month?

Around 47 US dollars per user per month on Lite, 51 on Pro and 61 on Plus, or roughly 34, 37 and 44 pounds in the UK. Multiply by every user, then add SMS and any add-ons.

Skedulo: Is it a field service suite?

No. It solves scheduling and dispatch for deskless workers. Contractors wanting estimating and invoicing should look at ServiceTitan or Jobber.

Tradify: Does Tradify replace my accounting software?

No. It syncs invoices and contacts to Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB, and you still need one of them.

Skedulo: Do I need Salesforce?

No, but its Salesforce integration is a large part of the appeal and it is less compelling without it.

Tradify: Is there a setup or implementation fee?

No. Unlike the enterprise field service platforms there is no onboarding charge, and most firms configure it themselves.

Tradify: How big a team can it handle?

It is designed for roughly one to twenty users. Beyond that the flat per-user pricing and the lack of dispatch optimisation and service agreements start to hurt.
