Key differences
Supplier catalogues
This is AroFlo’s clear strength. It lists a broad range of supplier catalogue integrations. TradieTally doesn’t have direct wholesaler feeds — you export your price file from your wholesaler account and import it by CSV. If live catalogues are central to how you work, factor that in.
Pricing transparency
TradieTally publishes its pricing: Solo $79/month and Team $99/month inc GST, with extra users at $20/month. We couldn’t verify AroFlo’s pricing from the vendor as of October 2026; aggregator sites list figures from around A$39 per user per month, which we haven’t confirmed.
Estimating approach
TradieTally starts with your numbers. You build a charge-out rate from vehicle, tools, insurance, office and employer on-costs, set a target margin, and every quote shows the profit before it goes. See estimating software.
Trade coverage
AroFlo has pages for electrical, HVAC, security and data cabling. TradieTally focuses on three trades — electrical, security and air conditioning — with Smart Bundles for common jobs in each.
Pricing compared
| TradieTally (AUD inc GST) | AroFlo | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Solo $79/month | Check vendor |
| Team | $99/month (2 users) | Check vendor |
| Extra users | $20/month each | Check vendor |
| Contract | None | Check vendor |
| Trial | 21 days, no card | Check vendor |
Example: an owner plus four field users on TradieTally is $99 + 3 × $20 = $159/month inc GST. See pricing.
