Is Tuizee a Tradify alternative?
Yes - for the part of the job Tradify was never built to own: ongoing customer communication.
Tradify helps NZ trades businesses run quotes, invoices, and the schedule. That work still matters. What still eats the owner’s afternoon is the other half: “any update on handover date?”, trying to send photos buried in Messenger from your team on site, and the same status typed three times in three different apps across your crew.
Tuizee is that half. One branded job link where your team, subbies, and customers stay connected - so you spend less time chasing and more time doing.
What Tradify already does well
If you need quoting, progress invoicing, accounting sync (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks), and a scheduler your crew already knows, Tradify is a proven pick. Online quote acceptance and Job Service Reports give customers a professional paper trail when you send them. See Tradify’s NZ pricing for current plans.
Where Tuizee fits
Tuizee does not try to replace that stack. It gives every job a branded customer portal - stages, progress photos, and chat - so people stop ringing you on the tools for the same question. Team chats and notes stay internal. Customer-visible updates go to the portal when you say so, while you share progress pictures any time over a well-deserved cuppa at the end of the day.
Who should pick which
- Lean on Tradify when your priority is landing and billing the job in one ops suite.
- Add Tuizee when the pain is coordination - endless threads, after-hours calls, and customers who just want to see progress.
- Use both when you already like Tradify’s money workflow and want a premium customer experience without a rip-and-replace project.
