Tradify vs ProTakip: Why Growing Cleaning Teams Choose ProTakip

ProTakip's team has built software for carpet-cleaning businesses for 22 years. We started before smartphones existed, putting carpet-cleaning software on bank POS terminals so crews could take an order and print a receipt for the customer at the door. Today the same team ships one app for Android, iPhone and the web. This Tradify vs ProTakip comparison is written for owners of small cleaning teams, roughly 1 to 15 people, who are weighing the two. ProTakip is carpet cleaning software and cleaning business software: order, customer and payment tracking for carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning businesses, also used by dry cleaners and home and office cleaning teams.

Tradify is a quoting, invoicing and job-tracking app for tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians and builders, priced per user per month.

The decisive difference: every person you give Tradify to costs $47 to $61 a month, while ProTakip charges one flat fee of $20 a month for unlimited users with every feature included, no annual contract and the first three months free. All prices, ratings and review data below are as of September 2026, from Tradify's pricing page, both app store listings and a sample of recent store reviews.

What Tradify offers

Tradify handles the office side of a trade business: quote, schedule, invoice, get paid. According to Tradify's website (September 2026), every plan includes online and credit card payments and sync with Xero and QuickBooks Online, and the Pro plan adds progress invoicing, quote options with online acceptance, and quote and invoice reminders.

As of September 2026 it holds 4.4 on Google Play across 3.14K reviews and 4.83 on the App Store across 179 ratings.

What Tradify really costs in 2026

Tradify charges per user, per month, in US dollars. According to Tradify's website, these are the published prices in September 2026, with the yearly cost of each login:

• Lite: $47 per user per month, $564 per user per year: job management, scheduling with Google Calendar sync, quoting and invoicing, online and card payments, email tracking, Xero and QuickBooks Online sync.
• Pro: $51 per user per month, $612 per user per year: adds custom branding, an inquiry form and inbox, customer communication history, job photos and files, recurring jobs, appointment reminders, timesheets, costing and subcontractor scheduling.
• Plus: $61 per user per month, $732 per user per year: adds AI tools for bills and writing, service reminders, purchase orders, bulk invoicing, job service reports and reporting.
• Custom: price on request.
• Instant Website add-on: $12 a month, $144 a year, on any plan.

There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Whether the per-user price assumes monthly or annual billing, and what the contract terms are, we could not verify from the pricing page, so check before you sign.

A worked example. An owner with four field staff needs five logins. On Pro, which is where job photos and recurring jobs start, that is $255 a month, or $3,060 a year. On Plus it is $305 a month, $3,660 a year. Each helper you add is another $612 a year on Pro. A ten-person team on Plus pays $610 a month, $7,320 a year, before the website add-on. One reviewer put it plainly: "expensive for multiple users".

The same team on ProTakip pays one flat fee of $20 a month ($240 a year) with unlimited users, whether it has five people or fifteen, and every feature is included. No contract, cancel any month, and the first three months cost nothing. To see how software cost sits against your job prices, our carpet cleaning pricing guide helps with the numbers.

What Tradify reviews say users complain about

Tradify's negative reviews cluster around a few themes. The largest group in our sample was missing features: reviewers want things the app does not do for their specific trade. The next groups were bugs and crashes, slowness, and price. Several describe the app closing on tablets or errors after updates.

"There is no auto-save which has caught me out on numerous occasions." — Google Play review, sampled September 2026

Price comes up in a specific way: long-time users say the price has gone up while some features moved to higher plans.

"Used to be perfect for simple quoting & invoicing but has slowly ratcheted up the price while also disabling features for certain prices." — Google Play review, sampled September 2026

A smaller group mentions persistent sales follow-up during the trial, and one field worker reports that the navigate button sometimes sends Google Maps to the wrong address, forcing manual entry.

Why carpet cleaners choose ProTakip

Twenty-two years building for carpet cleaners. Tradify is built for trades that quote and invoice on site. ProTakip's team has built software for carpet-cleaning businesses since the bank POS terminal days, and today's app is the third generation of that work, used by carpet, rug and upholstery cleaners in Türkiye and internationally. It follows an item through your building: received, picked up, in wash, ready, out for delivery, delivered, with pickup lists, delivery lists, an "all operations" board and prices per square metre or per item. Our carpet cleaning software page walks through the flow.

One full app on every platform. Android, iPhone and the web run from one codebase, and every platform gets the same version on the same day. There is no cut-down mobile app. ProTakip holds 5.0 on Google Play (37 reviews) and 4.98 on the App Store (46 ratings) as of September 2026, every written review is five stars, and we reply to about 96% of Play reviews.

Built for the doorstep. Photograph each rug at pickup to record its condition, which settles damage disputes before they start, then print a QR label with the item's place in the order ("3 / 7") and a receipt on a Bluetooth thermal printer from the phone.

Know who is calling on Android. Caller ID on Android shows a card before the phone rings with the customer's name, address, balance and open orders. It works with the app closed and with no signal, which helps when mobile data drops during a call. The office PC gets it through a switchboard integration or a USB caller-ID device.

Customers updated without lifting a finger. Automatic SMS and WhatsApp messages go out at every order stage, including for international customers, with a tracking link. Our guide to customer notifications via WhatsApp explains the setup.

• Automatic route optimisation with map navigation and vehicle GPS tracking; see our delivery and route planning guide.
• Unlimited users on one flat fee: no per-technician charge, no setup fee, no annual contract. Your data is yours.
• Free migration of your customers and orders, done by our team.
• Live human support inside the app, with remote screen-share when needed.

Start free for three months, no card required: download ProTakip and give every person on your team a login.

Head-to-head: the five differences that decide it

ProTakip comes out ahead on each of the five points below for a small carpet-cleaning business; each one ends with what it means for your crew.

Per-user pricing gets expensive as a cleaning team grows

Tradify charges $47 to $61 per user per month, so cost grows in step with headcount. ProTakip charges one flat monthly fee whatever the team size. The consequence: a washer, two drivers and someone on the phones all get their own login on ProTakip, and you never share logins to save money and lose the record of who did what.

Quote-to-invoice and pickup-clean-deliver are different workflows

Tradify's core loop is quote, schedule, do the job, invoice, which suits work done at the customer's site. Carpet and rug cleaning usually means the item leaves the house, spends days in your facility and comes back. ProTakip tracks every order through received, in wash, ready and delivery stages, with labels so rugs do not get mixed up. The consequence: no rug goes back to the wrong house. The guide to choosing carpet cleaning software has a checklist for this decision.

ProTakip automates customer messages and recognises callers

Tradify's Pro plan includes appointment, quote and invoice reminders; whether these go by SMS or WhatsApp we could not verify, and Caller ID is not in its published plans. ProTakip sends SMS and WhatsApp messages automatically at every stage, includes a WhatsApp Business inbox, and shows the caller's orders on Android even without signal. The consequence: the daily "is my rug ready?" calls mostly stop.

Payments and accounting: card fees and sync versus a built-in cash register

Every Tradify plan includes online and card payments plus Xero and QuickBooks Online sync, and Pro adds progress invoicing. ProTakip does not process card payments and has no accounting integration; it has its own cash register, receivables and reports. If you mostly collect cash or bank transfers on delivery, ProTakip's cash register covers it; see the payment collection guide.

ProTakip adds labels, Bluetooth printing and route optimisation

Tradify includes job photos and files on Pro and, according to reviewers, a navigate-to-job button; label printing and route planning are not listed on its pricing page. ProTakip includes photos, QR labels, Bluetooth printing of receipts and labels, automatic route optimisation and vehicle GPS tracking. The consequence: a driver on a full pickup round prints each label at the door, and the office sees where the van is.

Why ProTakip is the best Tradify alternative for a small carpet-cleaning business

ProTakip is carpet cleaning software and cleaning business software for one-to-fifteen-person teams; this is why it is the best Tradify alternative for that business.

We built ProTakip for businesses where items travel: carpet and rug cleaning, upholstery, dry cleaning, and home cleaning with pickups and deliveries. If that is you, ProTakip is the stronger Tradify alternative, and the gap widens with every person you hire, because the fee does not change.

It is the better choice when your team is past two or three people and still growing; when you want the same full app on Android, iPhone and web; when WhatsApp, SMS and phone calls drive your day and you want customers updated automatically; when you need photos, QR labels and printed receipts at pickup; and when you want delivery routes planned for you. If you are comparing several per-user tools, the Jobber vs ProTakip, Kickserv vs ProTakip, Fergus vs ProTakip and ServiceM8 vs ProTakip pages use the same method.

A note from the founder. We built ProTakip for carpet-cleaning owners tired of paying for every new hire and fighting menus made for other trades. No sales pitch: use it free for three months with your whole team, no card needed. If it works for you, it is $20 a month. If it doesn't, you leave, and your data is yours.

Start free for three months, no card required: download ProTakip and run your next week of orders on it — the same full app on Android, iPhone and web, unlimited users, no contract.

Switching from Tradify to ProTakip is handled by our team

You do not re-type your customer list. Our team migrates your customers and order history from Tradify for free; export what Tradify allows (its details are on its official website) and send it over.

Then run both apps side by side for two weeks: new pickups go into ProTakip while open jobs finish in Tradify. Because the first three months are free, the overlap costs nothing. When your team is comfortable, cancel Tradify. Our switching and data migration guide explains what to export and what to check, and our support team is in the app chat throughout.
