Hunter vs Tradify
A Tradify alternative for pest techs who need more than a checklist
Tradify is a clean, affordable job-management app loved by small trades across ANZ. Hunter takes that simplicity and builds Australian pest compliance, recurring treatments and an AI agent around it.
Best for: Small electrical, plumbing and HVAC teams wanting simple job management

The short version
Tradify is one of the easiest job-management apps to pick up, and it's genuinely popular with small Australian and Kiwi trade businesses. It's built for general trades, though, so pesticide records, technician licensing and treatment cycles are things you improvise with checklists. Hunter builds them in.
One thing to get out of the way before the table: Hunter is not sold the way the products on this page are. They are software licensed per user, which you configure and then operate. Hunter is a crew of AI employees installed with you — the work of answering, quoting, chasing and reporting is done by the system rather than by staff using it — so it is priced as one thing against what that work costs you today, not per seat. That makes a row-by-row feature comparison useful and a price comparison meaningless, which is why there isn't one. What it costs is on the pricing page and in full on the call.

Where Tradify falls short
Tradify has no model for Australian pesticide registers, chemical SDS handling or per-state technician licensing — you recreate it with generic checklists and custom fields.
There's no AI agent to triage inbound calls, chase quotes or draft follow-ups, so admin grows in step with your job volume.
Why Australian pest control teams choose Hunter
Hunter keeps Tradify's ease of use but assumes you run a pest control business:
- Per-state compliance records for NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT
- An AI agent that quotes, schedules and handles customer comms
- Recurring and maintenance planning built for treatment cycles
- Bait stations, assets and QR tracking in one place
