Prices and features checked 14 October 2026
Pricing that rises with users and add-ons against one flat price. Checked against Fergus’s own Australian pricing page.
Fergus is a long-running job management app for trades. It prices by the number of users, from $53 a month on Essentials and $77 on Professional, with no lock-in contract. When we checked, it was advertising 90% off until December, so right now Fergus is the cheaper way to start. At full price the extras are charged on top: timesheet-only users, certificates, text messages and contractor users, and phone support is on Professional only. ZYNKTRA is one flat price per business, from $149 a month including GST for up to 10 users.
Fergus lists its plans as “From” a monthly price and says pricing is based on the number of users, so ask for a figure for your team size. Its page does not say whether GST is included. ZYNKTRA prices are flat and include GST.
