ZYNKTRA vs BASEAPP

A sales-led app with in-person training against a published price and a free trial. Checked against BASEAPP’s own website and Xero listing.

The honest answer

BASEAPP is an Australian job management app for trades, built by people from the industry. The customers named on its site include concreters, plasterers, plumbers, drainers, and formwork and civil contractors. It does not publish prices: its site says costs vary with the number of users, on a weekly subscription you can cancel anytime, and asks you to call for a consultation. It lists 24/7 support, in-person training and onboarding set up for you, and its Xero link syncs invoices, timesheets and purchase orders both ways. If you want a person to set the system up with you, BASEAPP is built for that. If you want to see the price and start today, ZYNKTRA is $149 a month including GST for up to 10 users, or $400 for unlimited users, with a 14-day free trial.

  • You bill staged jobs: progress claims and variations are included on every plan.

What it costs
