Hovea vs Tradify — FAQ
Is Hovea a good Tradify alternative?
If your priority is quoting quickly and keeping GST correct, yes. Hovea drafts quotes from your own price book with AI, then turns a won quote into an invoice with one tap. If you need broad job management — timesheets, scheduling, purchase orders — Tradify covers more of that.
Why is Hovea faster to quote with?
Because you don't build the quote line by line. You describe the job and Hovea drafts the scope, line items and pricing from your price book for you to review — that's the whole point of the app.
Is Hovea made for Australian tax rules?
Yes — it's built in Western Australia for Australian tradies. Every quote shows subtotal, GST (10%) and total, and if you're not registered for GST it leaves the line off and notes it, per ATO rules.
