| Industry Forms | Tradify | |
|---|---|---|
| Offline mobile app | Full offline access — quote, invoice, and log time with no signal, syncs when you’re back in range | Reviewers commonly note no true offline mode and slow-loading app pages |
| Stock / inventory tracking | Real quantity-on-hand tracking against your price list | Reviewers commonly flag inventory tracking as a weak spot |
| Google Calendar sync | Two-way sync | Export-only, one-way |
| Your brand on customer emails | Quotes and invoices go out under your business name only | Reviewers note a "sent from Tradify" footer appears on some plans |
| Pricing approach | One flat price, shown up front, no expiring "sign today" discounts | Reviewers note sales tactics built around discount deadlines |

Questions people switching from Tradify ask
Is Industry Forms actually different, or just a copy of Tradify?
Same core workflow — quote, job, schedule, invoice — because that workflow is what trades actually need. The difference is in the specific gaps above: offline access, real stock tracking, two-way calendar sync, and unbranded customer communication.
Can I bring my Tradify data across?
Yes. Our import tool brings your customers, price list, and job history in directly — it’s built to read a Tradify export, not just generic CSV.
Will my team need retraining?
The workflow (quote → job → schedule → invoice) will feel familiar since it’s the same shape every trade job app uses. Most of the learning curve is finding where things live, not relearning how the job works.
