Why builders are switching from JobTread to Built Simple
JobTread is a solid platform, but it wasn’t built with Australian builders in mind. Most of our switchers come over because of one of these reasons.
What slows JobTread down for AU builders
- Per-user pricing — scales with team size, not flat
- US-built, no native AU compliance features (NCC, AS-1684)
- No native Xero or MYOB integration
- Strong on financial management, weaker on calculators and trade-specific workflows
- Limited AU customer base = limited AU-specific support
What Built Simple does instead
- Flat unlimited-user pricing
- AU-built with AS-1684 and NCC compliance throughout
- 47 free construction calculators
- Native Xero and MYOB
- Mobile-first, designed for AU tradies
- Same financial management depth, AU-tailored
