Pick the plan around the painting workflow you need to control.
Small crew
Best when accepted quotes need to become scheduled jobs with staff, subcontractors, timesheets, progress invoices, and job visibility.
Growing team
Best when unlimited users, staff, and contractors matter more than per-seat software pricing as the business adds more people.
Cost of staying manual
If admin takes 5 hours a week, it is already costing more than ATT.
Five hours a week is 20+ hours a month. At a modest $75/hr painter charge-out rate, that is $1,500 of time tied up in admin. After Professional, that leaves about $1,300of extra capacity before you count missed quotes, slow follow-up, or weekend catch-up.

Flat rate vs per-user pricing
As the team grows, per-user software climbs. ATT Professional stays flat.
At 10 people, per-user tools can already cost about 3x more.ATT stays at $199/mo for the whole team.
Contractors and staff still count elsewhere.Per-user trade software usually requires staff and contractors to have their own paid accounts, even if you only need them for a short period. That is how costs quickly spiral. ATT does not charge extra for adding the people you need to get the job done.
Add-ons, plug-ins, and hidden extras push the bill up too.Other platforms can start with a base price, then add charges for extra modules, integrations, automation, reporting, or features your team actually needs. ATT keeps the core trade workflow in one flat price, with no add-on maze.

Yes. Automate The Trades supports Australian painting and plastering businesses, with Australian defaults for GST, currency, addresses, phone numbers, timezones, and trade rates. Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks accounting sync are supported.

Yes. Most trials start by turning an existing quote, template, or live enquiry into a proper ATT workflow. You can create the quote with Mate, convert accepted work into a job, schedule the crew, and then prepare invoices from the same record.
Contractors don't need to log into the system at all. They receive job details via SMS or email with all the info they need - address, dates, scope of work, and any attached documents. Each message includes a link where they can provide updates on the job, confirm attendance, or flag any issues - no account required.
Yes. ATT is built for painting businesses where the owner is still carrying too much in their head. You can use Mate to create quotes, keep jobs moving, schedule staff and contractors, manage invoices, and see what is happening without rebuilding the admin at night.
Yes. ATT helps new contractors start with clearer quoting, rates, customers, and money habits. If you are going out on your own or thinking about it, start by automating your quoting so you can price work properly before adding the heavier job-management workflow.
No. Good administrators are the backbone of many trade businesses. ATT helps them by collecting cleaner information from the team, jobs, invoices, contractors, and customers so they spend less time chasing details and more time keeping the business moving.
