AroFlo Alternative
Built for one person,
not a whole company.
AroFlo is a serious platform for serious trade businesses. But if you are a solo tradie who just needs to quote, schedule and invoice, it is a lot of software for a very straightforward job. Avistr does that job for $19 a month.

Who this is for
Not every trade business needs enterprise software.
AroFlo is genuinely impressive software. For a trade business with multiple technicians, complex compliance requirements, and a need to manage assets and inventory across a team, it earns its price.
But if you are one person doing good work and you just need a clean, fast way to quote clients, book jobs and send invoices from your phone, Avistr is built exactly for that. No complexity you did not ask for, no features you will never open, and a price that reflects the size of your operation.
Why tradies switch
AroFlo is enterprise software.
AroFlo is a powerful platform built for trade businesses running multiple technicians, managing compliance across a team, and tracking assets and inventory at scale. If that is not you, you are paying a significant premium for a system that was never designed with a one-person operation in mind.
The setup alone will cost you a day.
AroFlo requires meaningful time investment to configure before you can send a single invoice. Avistr takes five minutes. You enter your business name, ABN, and bank details, and you are ready to quote. If you are a solo tradie who needs to be earning rather than setting up software, that difference matters.
The price gap is significant.
AroFlo pricing starts well above $50 a month and increases from there. Avistr is $19 a month flat. For a solo tradie doing the same core job - quote, schedule, invoice, get paid - the extra cost does not reflect extra value you will actually use.
