Tradify Alternative for Builders: OpSpot vs Tradify

Short answer: choose Tradify if you run a trade business (electrical, plumbing, gas, HVAC or property maintenance) and want quotes, job tracking, invoices and card payments in one app that syncs with Xero or QuickBooks. Choose OpSpot if you're a head contractor or builder running renovation or fit-out jobs through several subcontractors: multi-day bookings across trades, who's free by trade, work orders and what you owe each subcontractor, and their licences and insurance.
