ZYNKTRA vs Ascora

Two Australian platforms, per-user against flat pricing. Checked against Ascora’s own pricing page.

The honest answer

Ascora is an Australian job management platform that charges per user: $45 a month on Essentials and $59 on Elite, with no lock-in contract. It includes progress claims, retentions and card payments on every plan. ZYNKTRA has progress claims and variations too, but not retentions or card payments yet. Recurring jobs, custom forms and business reports are on Elite and above. For one or two people Ascora costs less. From 3 people on Elite, or 4 on Essentials, ZYNKTRA Starter at $149 a month is cheaper, and recurring contracts are in every ZYNKTRA plan.

Choose Ascora if

  • You work alone or with one other person. One or two Ascora users cost less than ZYNKTRA Starter.
  • You hold retentions on progress claims. Ascora lists retentions on every plan; ZYNKTRA does progress claims but not retentions.
  • You want customers to pay invoices by card, or you run several companies in one account (an Elite feature).

Choose ZYNKTRA if

  • You have 4 or more people. Starter is $149 for up to 10 users, and Professional is $400 for unlimited users.
  • You want recurring service jobs without moving to a dearer plan. Ascora lists automatic recurring jobs on Elite and above.
  • Your clients approve work orders in a portal before you invoice, or you service fleets and equipment on a schedule.
  • You want a price that does not rise each time you hire.
  • You bill staged jobs: progress claims and variations are included on every plan.
