Struth vs Fergus
Fergus is feature-rich and built for bigger trade operations. Struth takes a different approach — AI that does the admin work for you, not more screens to click through.
Fergus gives you more tools to do admin. Struth's AI does the admin for you — drafts emails, chases invoices, transcribes calls, generates quotes. Less clicking, more plumbing.
Hands in a wall cavity? Just talk. Struth's voice mode lets you create jobs, log notes, and send invoices without touching your phone. Fergus has no voice features.
Fergus starts at $55/month with no free option. Struth is free forever for solo tradies — every feature, no card required. Pay when your team grows.

Being honest: Fergus has deeper features for larger operations — custom digital forms, checklists, automated supplier price books, and a company noticeboard. If you run a 10+ person operation and need those tools, Fergus is worth a look. If you're a solo tradie or small crew who wants AI that actually does the paperwork for you, that's Struth.
