simPRO vs Tradify
Both score 7.0/10. Compare features and pricing below.
Both score 7.0/10. simPRO is built for commercial trades businesses that handle big projects with multiple phases, subcontractors, and complex billing. If that describes your operation, the project management depth is hard to beat. If you are a residential shop doing one-day service calls, this is way more tool than you need.

What the pricing really means
Tradify publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. simPRO requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.

Where simPRO falls short

- Not designed for small residential-only shops
- Interface can feel overwhelming for basic scheduling needs
Where Tradify falls short
- GPS and dispatching exist but are less mature than dedicated FSM tools like ServiceTitan
- No customer portal for client self-service
- Reporting tools lack depth with no customizable dashboards for tracking by employee or project type
- Optional Instant Website add-on is $12/month extra for something most competitors include
