What is the best invoice software for tradies in Australia?

There is no single 'best' — the right choice depends on your setup. Solo sparkies and plumbers usually want a phone-first tool that sends GST invoices and chases overdue payments (Tradify or Contractor Revenue Hub). Crews with field staff often prefer ServiceM8 or Fergus for scheduling. Established businesses working closely with a bookkeeper typically stay in Xero or MYOB. Match the tool to the workflow, not the marketing.

Can tradies send GST invoices from their phone?

Yes. Most modern invoice tools built for trades — Tradify, ServiceM8, Fergus and Contractor Revenue Hub — let you send a GST-ready tax invoice from your phone on the job site. Xero and MYOB also have mobile apps, though the workflow is more accounting-led than job-led.

Can invoice software send overdue payment reminders?

Yes, but not all of them do it automatically. Xero and MYOB can send scheduled reminders once configured. Contractor Revenue Hub automates overdue chases without you having to set up rules per invoice. Basic invoice apps often require you to send reminders manually.

What is the difference between quoting software and invoice software?

Quoting software helps you price and send a proposal before the job. Invoice software helps you bill and collect after the job. Trades-focused tools like Contractor Revenue Hub, Tradify and ServiceM8 combine both so a quote can be converted into an invoice without retyping the scope, materials or price.

Can I track unpaid invoices and job revenue in one place?

Accounting tools like Xero and MYOB show unpaid invoices in aged receivables reports. Job-management tools like Tradify, ServiceM8, Fergus and Contractor Revenue Hub go further by tying quotes, invoices and payments back to the specific job so you can see revenue per job, not just per client.
