What tradies say about AroFlo
“I currently use Aroflo, whilst it’s excellent, sometimes it has stupid and old functions which drive me crazy. I feel they are too busy making new features as opposed to fixing old issues”

“Used AroFlo about 5+years ago as an employee and it was pointless to use it on a phone, always just used it on the computer at the end of the day”

“Yeah we use aroflo and the app is pretty good now. Still could be laid out a little better. They are doing heaps new things but not having direct api calls with xero having the integration page is ridiculous these days”

What tradies say about Fergus
“I use Fergus, 4 users, a couple add ons (certs etc) it’s $500 a month. Support is pretty good. I’ve used it for probably 5-6 years off and on as an employee and employer. It’s basic but does everything I need”
