provvio vs Tradify.
Tradify runs the admin of a trades business. provvio proves to your client that the work actually happened. Different jobs, honest comparison.
Job admin vs proof of service.
Tradify is job-management software aimed at trade contractors: electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and builders. Its core is quoting, invoicing, purchase orders, timesheets, and tight accounting sync with Xero and QuickBooks. For running the paperwork of a trades business, it is a mature, well-liked tool, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
provvio answers a different question: how do you prove to the client that the crew was on site and the contracted work was done? Every visit is built around a geofenced GPS check-in, structured before-and-after photos, a checklist, and a branded report the client receives automatically and can revisit in their portal.
If your business wins or loses on quotes and invoices, Tradify is the sharper tool. If it wins or loses on evidence, recurring contracts, tenders, and 'was anyone even here?' disputes, that is exactly what provvio is for.

Where provvio is different
Tradify manages the job. provvio proves the visit.
Tradify is job-management software for trade contractors: quoting, invoicing, purchase orders, timesheets, and accounting sync. It is built to run the admin side of a trades business. provvio starts where Tradify stops, proving to the client that the crew was physically on site and the work was done, with a geofenced GPS check-in, before-and-after photos, and a branded report per visit.
A staff map is not attendance proof.
Tradify shows a live map of where staff are, but staff can switch location visibility off, and nothing ties a location to a specific visit record. provvio records a GPS check-in against the site geofence at the moment of arrival and flags out-of-range attempts, producing evidence a client can rely on rather than a dot on an internal map.
Reports your client is meant to read.
Tradify's Job Service Reports pull together tasks, timesheets, and materials, which is useful paperwork for your office. provvio's report is a client-facing artefact: your logo, the GPS-verified times, the photos, the completed checklist, delivered automatically to the client's inbox and portal after every single visit.
Flat pricing that doesn't punish growth.
Tradify charges per user, so a ten-person crew costs roughly ten times a one-person one. provvio's tiers are flat: Starter covers up to 3 field crew for US$29 a month, Crew covers up to 15 for US$79. Adding a cleaner or a guard doesn't add a line to your software bill.
Questions
Is provvio a Tradify alternative?
For the specific job of proving service delivery to clients, yes. If your pain is 'the client doesn't believe we showed up' or 'we keep losing disputes over completed work', provvio is built exactly for that. If your pain is quoting, invoicing, and job costing for a trades business, Tradify covers that ground and provvio deliberately does not.
What is the difference between Tradify and provvio?
Tradify is job-management and admin software for trade contractors: quotes, invoices, purchase orders, timesheets, and scheduling. provvio is proof-of-service software: geofenced GPS check-ins, before-and-after photo evidence, checklists, and an automatic branded report per visit with a client portal. Tradify points at your office; provvio points at your client.
Can I use provvio alongside Tradify?
Yes, and teams do. Keep Tradify for quoting and invoicing and add provvio as the proof layer for recurring contracts where the client wants evidence, like commercial cleaning, grounds maintenance, or patrol work. They solve different problems and don't overlap much.
Does Tradify have GPS check-in like provvio?
Not in the proof sense. Tradify offers a live staff location map, and staff can turn their visibility off. There is no geofenced check-in tied to a visit record. provvio verifies every check-in against the site geofence and flags out-of-range attempts, then puts that verified record in the client's report.
