Tradeify vs Kandua
Kandua finds you customers. Tradeify runs the business.
Kandua is a South African home-services marketplace — it helps homeowners find and book vetted pros. Tradeify is software for running your own small business day to day: bookings, appointments, jobs, orders, quotes, invoices and customer records. The two solve different problems, and many businesses use both.

Fair view
When Kandua makes sense
If your immediate need is being found by homeowners who are already searching for a pro, Kandua's marketplace and customer-acquisition focus solves that directly. Tradeify doesn't replace that — it's not a lead marketplace. Once you have a booking, job or order to manage — quoting, scheduling, proof of work, invoicing, customer records — that's what Tradeify is built for. A small business can reasonably use Kandua to find customers and Tradeify to run the resulting work.
