  • Built-in communications stack (phone, SMS, call recording, AI answering) that centralizes customer contact

  • Hidden/ancillary fees reported (calls, texts, automations or features behind add-ons)
  • Free trial signup issues and account access problems reported (trial canceled or inaccessible)
  • No reliable offline support (official help article states Tradify depends on a live internet connection)
