Simpro pricing: what it actually costs in 2026
Simpro pricing is quote-only: there is no rate card on Simpro's website, and every Australian account is priced privately on an annual contract. This page collects what can actually be verified, what customers report paying, and what will drive your quote, with a named, dated source on every figure.
// QUICK ANSWER
There is no published price. Here is what is verifiable.
Simpro does not publish pricing. Every Australian account is quoted privately, on an annual contract, with no free trial. The one independent estimate, Field Service Guide's 2026 review, puts it at US$150 to US$300 per user per month, and Capterra reviewers report renewal increases of 8% to 12% a year.
// THE VERIFIABLE NUMBERS
Simpro pricing per licence: what can be verified
Everything below is sourced and dated. Where a figure does not exist, the table says so instead of guessing.
| What | Figure | Source, as at |
|---|---|---|
| Published rate card | None. Quote on application only. | Simpro's own pricing page, checked August 2026 |
| Independent per-user estimate | US$150 to US$300 per user, per month | Field Service Guide's 2026 Simpro review, labelled an estimate |
| Directory "starting prices" | US$30 to US$70+ per user; the listings contradict each other | SaaSworthy, SelectHub and similar listings, checked August 2026 |
| Contract and trial | Annual contract required, no free trial | Field Service Guide's 2026 Simpro review |
| Reported renewal terms | 3 to 5 year lock-ins at about 8% p.a. (CPI plus 5%), or 12% without the lock-in | Capterra customer reviews, checked August 2026 |
| Lightning increase cap | CPI plus 3% per year, for the life of the agreement | Simpro Group Lightning announcement, May 2026 |
The honest reading: Simpro publishes no per-licence price, and the third-party directories that claim one contradict each other by a factor of two or more. Treat any "Simpro pricing starts at" figure you find as unverified unless it is on your own written quote. The only numbers with a traceable source are the estimate and the renewal terms above, and both are reports, not a rate card.

// THE RENEWAL CONTEXT
The quoted price is not the price you keep
Because pricing is private, the first quote is the cheapest month you will ever have, and the escalation clause decides the rest. Capterra reviewers describe renewal offers of 3 to 5 year lock-ins at about 8% a year, or 12% without the lock-in. What that compounding actually costs over a five-year term, and the four contract terms to check before signing, are worked through in our Simpro price increase report.
A software bill that compounds is an overhead like any other: absorb it without repricing your work and it comes straight out of margin. The charge-out rate calculator re-costs your overheads in a few minutes, so you can see what an 8% software rise does to the rate you need to charge.
// WHAT DRIVES THE QUOTE
The four things your Simpro quote is built from
No rate card means the quote is assembled per account. These are the inputs to negotiate, each one traceable to the sources above.
- 01 Licence count, and the minimum
Capterra reviewers describe renewal contracts tied to a minimum user quantity. Commit to 15 licences and drop to 10 next winter, and you still pay for 15. Match the minimum to your low season, not your best month.
- 02 The modules you switch on
Simpro is sold as a suite, and the quote covers whichever modules and add-ons you take alongside the core licences. None of them carries a published price either, so the only way to price a configuration is to ask for it in writing.
- 03 Implementation and training
There is no free trial, and Field Service Guide's 2026 review puts a typical implementation at 2 to 3 months. Setup, data migration and training are scoped into the quote, so ask for them as separate line items before you compare anything.
- 04 Term length and the increase clause
Annual contracts are standard, and reviewers report longer lock-ins offered in exchange for lower annual increases. Get the mechanism in writing: which index, plus what percentage, and whether it is a cap or an "expected" figure. An expectation is not a ceiling.
// SIMPRO LIGHTNING
What the Price Lock Guarantee actually caps
The one published pricing commitment attached to Simpro's 2026 platform is the Price Lock Guarantee: in the CEO's words, quoted by CFOtech Australia, it "caps any annual increase at no more than 3% above inflation, for the life of the agreement". The launch announcement also described the upgrade as an uplift on top of existing contracts, so the cap applies to a base that has already moved. Price the total cost, the term and the exit clause together, not the cap alone. For what the platform itself does and what the upgrade involves, see our Simpro Lightning review. One ownership note either way: AroFlo is not an escape from Simpro, because Simpro Group has owned it since November 2021.
// IF THE QUOTE DOES NOT SUIT
The alternatives that do publish pricing
If quote-only pricing on a multi-year term is the dealbreaker, the AU job management market has options you can price without a sales call: ServiceM8 (per job, unlimited users), Tradify (per user) and Fergus (per user, tiered) all list their pricing publicly and run month to month. If the per-user route is the one you lean towards, we cover Tradify's strengths and gaps for trade businesses in full. None matches Simpro's depth on large project work, so if you run multiple crews on big commercial jobs, Simpro at a negotiated price may still be the right tool. For transparency: Web Blend is a ServiceM8 partner and builds automations on that platform, so we are not neutral, which is why every vendor link here goes to that vendor's own pricing page rather than our summary of it.
// COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers on Simpro pricing
Anything the sources above did not settle? Ask us directly and we'll give you a straight answer, no jargon, no pressure.
Get in touchHow much does Simpro cost per user in Australia?
Simpro does not publish a per-user price. The only independent estimate, from Field Service Guide’s 2026 review, is US$150 to US$300 per user per month, and it is labelled an estimate. Australian accounts are quoted privately, so your figure depends on licence count, modules, implementation scope and the contract term.
Why does Simpro not publish its pricing?
Simpro has not published a reason; its website simply carries no rate card, and every account is quoted on application. In practice the model lets pricing vary with licences, modules and implementation, and it means every renewal is a private negotiation rather than a comparison against a public price.
Does Simpro have a free trial?
No. Field Service Guide’s 2026 review confirms there is no free trial: you book a demo and request a quote. The same review puts a typical implementation at 2 to 3 months, so budget time as well as money before you commit.
Is Simpro putting its prices up?
There is no published increase, because there is no published price. What Capterra reviewers report is renewal offers of 3 to 5 year lock-ins at about 8% a year, or 12% without the lock-in. Simpro Group’s official answer is the Lightning Price Lock Guarantee, which caps annual increases at CPI plus 3%. Our Simpro price increase explainer covers the renewal detail.
How does Simpro pricing compare with ServiceM8 or Tradify?
You cannot compare rate cards, because only one side publishes one. ServiceM8, Tradify and Fergus all list their pricing publicly and run month to month, while Simpro is quoted privately on an annual contract. Simpro is positioned at larger, project-heavy operations, so the real comparison is scope as much as price.
