QuoteGenio vs AroFlo
AroFlo is full field-service management with scheduling, dispatch, and CRM. QuoteGenio is a focused quoting and invoicing tool. Here's the honest comparison.
The short answer
AroFlo is a full field-service-management platform built for established service businesses with multiple technicians, daily dispatch needs, and inventory to track. QuoteGenio is a focused quoting and invoicing tool for tradespeople who want to send a quote in 2 minutes from their phone. If your day is dispatch-led, AroFlo wins. If it's quote-and-go, QuoteGenio is much faster and roughly a tenth of the cost.

How to switch from AroFlo
4 steps. Should take an afternoon.
01
Sign up free in 30 seconds
Email and password, no credit card. Add your business name, logo, and bank details once.
02
Re-create your quote templates
Saved templates per service type take a few minutes each. AroFlo users typically have 5-15 templates worth porting.
03
Decide what to keep from AroFlo
If you only used AroFlo for quotes and invoices, QuoteGenio replaces it. If you used dispatch and GPS, run a calendar tool + QuoteGenio, or stay on AroFlo.
04
Cancel AroFlo once handed over
Export all historical jobs as CSV from AroFlo before cancelling. Finish out open jobs and cancel at month-end to avoid the per-user monthly charges.
Frequently asked questions
Everything tradespeople ask when choosing between us and AroFlo.
If you only use AroFlo for quoting and invoicing, yes. If you use AroFlo's scheduling, dispatch, GPS, and inventory, no. QuoteGenio is focused on the quote-and-invoice flow and roughly a tenth of the cost for tradies who don't need the full job-management platform.
Yes, significantly. QuoteGenio is $9.99/mo flat for unlimited. AroFlo is around $90+/mo per user before add-ons. For a solo tradie, the saving is roughly $1,000/year.
If you run a multi-tech operation, dispatch daily jobs, track inventory, or need full job costing with labour categories. AroFlo's scheduling, GPS, and inventory are mature features that QuoteGenio doesn't replicate.
If you're a solo tradie or small team, primarily need fast quoting and invoicing, send via WhatsApp, and don't need scheduling or GPS. QuoteGenio gives you the quote-and-pay flow at roughly a tenth of the cost.
AroFlo focuses on email and SMS. The PDF-download then WhatsApp-share workflow works but is manual. QuoteGenio shares branded quotes via WhatsApp in one tap.
Not as of 2026. QuoteGenio's AI quote generation lets you describe a job in plain language and it produces an itemised draft. AroFlo requires you to manually build every quote.
AroFlo's job-costing with labour categories, materials, and overhead allocation is genuinely powerful for businesses with multiple technicians. QuoteGenio shows costs per quote line but doesn't do full job costing across labour categories.
Yes via CSV. Export clients and jobs from AroFlo, then import the client list into QuoteGenio. Most tradies have under 200 active clients.
No, QuoteGenio doesn't include scheduling. If you need daily dispatch, run a calendar tool (Google Calendar, Tradify Schedule, or a dedicated tool) alongside QuoteGenio.
If you grow into a multi-tech operation that lives by a dispatch schedule, AroFlo (or simPRO, ServiceM8) becomes the right tool. Your QuoteGenio data exports cleanly as CSV so the migration is straightforward.

“Quoting per square metre used to take me forever. I have templates set up now that cover lawn, pavers, and planting separately. Cuts my admin in half.”
