Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Tradify alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Tradify alternative?

Yes, particularly if you need AI Agents — voice and chat agents for hands-free dispatch and customer comms as you grow. Fieldproxy serves Plumbing, Electrical, Building Trades, HVAC and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.

How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Tradify?

Tradify pricing starts at $39-$79/user/month with $0 in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (Self-serve, hours → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).

How long does it take to switch from Tradify to Fieldproxy?

Most teams switch from Tradify to Fieldproxy in 2-4 weeks. We provide free migration consultation, data export assistance, and a parallel-run period to minimise disruption.

Does Fieldproxy work for Plumbing?

Yes. Fieldproxy is used by Plumbing businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike Tradify, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific Plumbing operation.

Can Fieldproxy replace Tradify for AI features?

Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Tradify isn't. First, AI Agents handle dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Fieldproxy uses AI-driven customization — operators describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it live. It's the closest thing to Lovable, for FSM. Tradify typically requires third-party AI add-ons for the first capability and has no equivalent of the second.

How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to Tradify?

Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Tradify typically requires either an admin's clicks across multiple config screens, or a paid professional-services engagement for anything non-trivial.

What customer support does Fieldproxy offer compared to Tradify?

Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
