You don't need a $40/month app built for someone else's business. Voice a job, get a quote, send an invoice. $19/mo.
You're not looking for another app to learn. You're looking for something that works so you can focus on the actual work.
You've been on the tools all day. You're home, the kids are finally asleep, and now you're trying to remember what you told that bloke in your area. This isn't what going out on your own was supposed to look like.
ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus — they're good tools. They're also $30–50 a month, built for businesses with teams and office staff. You're one person. You don't need a fleet management system. You need to get a quote out.
ABN, GST, BAS, quoting, invoicing — you know your trade inside out, but the admin side is a second job nobody warned you about. You just need something simple that handles it without a steep learning curve.
No training. No onboarding call. No 47-page user guide. You'll get it in about 2 minutes.
Describe the job out loud — materials, labour, client details, the lot. On site, in the van, wherever. Takes 30 seconds.
VerbalIt pulls out the details, matches your materials to your price list, and builds a professional quote or invoice. You review, tweak if needed, done.
Email the quote or invoice to your client straight from the app. They approve online. You see who's paid and who hasn't — and automated reminders chase the rest.
30 days free. No credit card. Takes about 2 minutes to set up.
Start for freeYou're on-site and the client wants a quote now. Open VerbalIt, hit record, describe the job. Quote lands in their inbox before you're back in the van.
Job's done, client's happy, now get paid. One tap turns your quote into a GST invoice with your logo, ABN, and payment details. Send it before you've packed up the van.
Monday morning — what's on? Every job, every date, one screen. See what's coming, what's overdue, and what you forgot about. No spreadsheet, no whiteboard.
Your accountant charges $200/hr to tell you what this screen shows for free. Revenue, expenses, profit, BAS estimate — all tracked as you work. No end-of-year scramble.
We're not pretending to be the last app you'll ever use. If you're just starting out, or your business is small and you want to keep costs down — we're built for you. Use VerbalIt for six months, a year, two years. When your business is rolling and you need dispatch, team management, and accounting integrations — move to something bigger. No hard feelings.
If you've outgrown us, we've both done our job. That's the no bullshit promise.

Comparison accurate as of May 2026. Pricing from competitor websites.
If you've got a team, office staff, and need Xero integration — those tools are great. We mean it.
But if it's just you and a ute, you don't need to pay for features built for someone else's business. Start here. Move up when you're ready.
Half the price of the big guys. All the features a small operator actually needs. Start free — no credit card, no sales call, no "let me check with my manager."
