Mayns, ServiceM8, Tradify and Fergus, side by side.
They're all good apps. Here's where Mayns is different, and where it isn't there yet, so you can decide with the full picture.
At a glance
A$49 inc GST
For the team, not per person
After the beta, one price covers up to 10 people, however busy you get. Tradify charges per person, and ServiceM8 by how many jobs you do.
A$0 extra
Certificates in the plan
The QLD smoke alarm report and electrical Certificate of Compliance are part of the plan. Elsewhere they're a higher plan or a monthly add-on.

Texts from your own phone
"On my way" and "job done" texts open your phone's messages app, so there's no allowance to run out of.

What Mayns doesn't do yet
Straight up, so it doesn't surprise you later.
- Card payments from the invoice — built, not switched on yet. Your bank details print on the invoice.
- QuickBooks — built, not switched on yet. No MYOB.
- App Store and Google Play apps. Today it's the home-screen app, in the phone's browser.
- Moving your history across from ServiceM8. Clients can come in from a spreadsheet or Xero.
- Ready-made certificates for states other than Queensland. Outside QLD, an electrical job gets a job record that names the official form you lodge (in NSW, the CCEW on eCert).
- A photo for each smoke alarm on the report.
