Tradeify vs Kandua
A tool you own, not a platform that owns your leads
Kandua is a job marketplace — homeowners find tradespeople through it. Tradeify is a job management tool — you keep your own customers, run your own jobs, and pay a flat 30-day access fee. No commission. No lead fees. No automatic debit.

Fair view
When Kandua makes sense
Kandua is the right tool if your immediate goal is getting found by homeowners who are already searching for a tradesperson. It's a marketplace with real volume and a strong SA reputation for home services. If you need leads and don't yet have a customer base, Kandua solves that problem. Tradeify solves the next one: managing and running those jobs professionally once the leads come in. Many SA tradespeople use both.
About Kandua
Kandua is South Africa's largest home services marketplace. It connects homeowners with vetted tradespeople and charges a commission or matching fee per job. Useful for finding new customers — but once the job is yours, Kandua's tools stop there.
