An estimating platform for builders against job management for service trades. Checked against Buildxact’s own Australian pricing page.
Buildxact is an estimating and job management platform for builders and renovators, with digital takeoffs, supplier integration and AI estimating tools, and unlimited users on every plan. Its $199 Foundation plan covers estimating and quoting. Job management, schedules and the on-site mobile app start on Pro at $399 a month plus GST. If you price building work from plans, Buildxact is the stronger fit. If you run service, maintenance or call-out work and need scheduling, job sheets and invoicing, ZYNKTRA starts at $149 a month including GST.
Buildxact’s page says its plans and add-ons exclude GST, so GST has been added here to line up with ZYNKTRA’s prices, which already include it. Buildxact prices are for paying monthly.

Buildxact’s Australian pricing page lists Foundation at $199 a month, Pro at $399 and Master at $599 when paying monthly, all excluding GST, with unlimited users on every plan (checked 14 October 2026). Paying annually saves 15%.
Not in the same way. ZYNKTRA has no takeoff tool. Its quote calculators (concrete, plaster, framing, roofing, tiling and more) can read the sizes off a PDF plan for you to check, which suits a trade pricing one part of a build. If you price whole builds from plans, Buildxact is the better fit.
ZYNKTRA, for most service crews. Buildxact’s job management, schedules and mobile app start on its Pro plan at $399 a month plus GST. ZYNKTRA includes scheduling and job sheets from Starter at $149 a month including GST, for up to 10 users and 500 jobs a month.
Try it free for 14 days with no card. If you then subscribe and it is not right, ask within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund. You can cancel any time and export your data.
