What Fergus pricing looks like in Australia
Fergus offers tiered subscription plans scaled by features and team size. Most Australian contractors pay a monthly fee per business with additional costs as users and modules increase — visit Fergus's pricing page for current rates as they update periodically.
Fergus focuses on job workflow and does not include a marketing website, SEO pages, lead forms, or chatbot. Most Fergus users pay separately for web hosting, a site builder, and often an email or CRM tool. Factor in $80–150/month for marketing tools on top of Fergus.
Per-user fees, add-on modules, and separate marketing tools add up fast. A platform that looks cheaper on paper can cost more once you bolt on a website builder, email tool, and payment processor.
How Automate Leads pricing compares
Automate Leads is $199/month flat with website hosting, suburb SEO pages, lead capture, chatbot, quoting, invoicing, scheduling, SMS, reviews, Xero, and Stripe included — no per-user fees for a typical small Perth crew.
Fergus delivers strong job workflow for tradies with steady pipelines. Automate Leads delivers better total value when you need Perth lead generation and a website alongside job admin — without stacking three separate subscriptions.
The right question is not 'which is cheapest' but 'which saves the most time per booked job for how you actually work'.
