Cheaper than Tradify. Sharper than Excel.
Tradify starts at $39 but the useful tier is $79+. ServiceM8 Premium is $99. Excel is “free” until you count the hours. We're $59 for unlimited quotes with a calculator that does the maths.

/ FAQ
Quick answers.
The pricing questions tradies actually ask before they sign up. Anything we missed? Email hello@karven.com.au.
How does the free trial work?
Your first week is free with full access, no card needed. After seven days you pick a plan to keep quoting, and everything turns back on the moment you do. Nothing you made during the week is deleted or held hostage.
Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?
Yes. Stripe-managed billing portal handles upgrade, downgrade, and cancel from Settings → Billing. No retention queue, no phone call. Two clicks and it's done.
Are quotes branded with my logo on the free plan?
On Free, the PDF carries a small Karven stamp at the bottom. From Starter onwards it's your logo, your contact details, your terms, your quote prefix (KV-2026-001 by default; rename to RILEY-001 if you want). Customers never see our brand.
How do I take leads from my own website (Business/Pro)?
Two options. Option A: link to your public request page at /request/<your-handle> from your nav or Insta bio, and customers fill in the form on a Karven-hosted page. Option B (Business/Pro): paste a 2-line script tag onto your own site. We mint you a key from Settings → Embed widget, you paste `<script src="https://karven.com.au/embed.js" data-key="ek_xxx" data-trade="decking" async></script>` anywhere HTML goes (Wix, Squarespace, custom, works everywhere), and the form renders inline on your page. Submissions land as draft quotes in your dashboard with the scope pre-filled, an email notification fires, and the lead.created webhook hits any Zapier / GHL automation you've wired. Lock the widget to specific domains from settings so a stranger can't paste your key on their own site.
Do you offer a discount for annual billing?
Yes. Toggle to annual above to see the effective monthly. Roughly 17% off (two months free per year). No multi-year contracts. Every plan is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime; after the first 14 days we don't pro-rata refund the current period.
Is GST included or extra?
Prices are AUD ex GST. Your card is charged the GST-inclusive amount (Starter $64.90/mo, i.e. $59 + GST). GST-registered tradies (most are) claim the credit back as usual.
Can I try without putting a card down?
Yes. The free week needs no card. Sign up with email or Google, get full access for seven days, then pick a plan when you're ready to keep going. We never charge a card you haven't entered.
What if I need a feature that's not on any plan?
Email hello@karven.com.au. we read every one. The roadmap is heavily steered by what active users actually ask for, not by what we think sounds good in a press release.
