Tradeify vs Kandua

Kandua finds you customers. Tradeify runs the business.

Kandua is a South African home-services marketplace — it helps homeowners find and book vetted pros. Tradeify is software for running your own small business day to day: bookings, appointments, jobs, orders, quotes, invoices and customer records. The two solve different problems, and many businesses use both.

Why tradespeople choose Tradeify

Pay for 30 days at a time

Starter is R125 and Pro is R250 per 30 days. No automatic debit and no automatic renewal — you manually buy another 30 days when you're ready.

No marketplace commission

Tradeify never takes a percentage of your bookings or orders. What a customer pays you is between you and them.

One record for the whole job

Quote, book, schedule, capture proof on site, collect a signature, and invoice — all connected to one customer and one job record.

Built for small service businesses, not just trades

Tradeify supports appointments, jobs and orders for a broad range of South African small service businesses — not only tradespeople.

Fair view

When Kandua makes sense

If your immediate need is being found by homeowners who are already searching for a pro, Kandua's marketplace and customer-acquisition focus solves that directly. Tradeify doesn't replace that — it's not a lead marketplace. Once you have a booking, job or order to manage — quoting, scheduling, proof of work, invoicing, customer records — that's what Tradeify is built for. A small business can reasonably use Kandua to find customers and Tradeify to run the resulting work.
