Comparison

Ascora pricing, and the crew it is priced for

Ascora is Australian-built and charges per user. That second part is the whole comparison: the gap between it and Chippie is not a feature, it is a head count.

Key takeaways

  1. Ascora Essentials is $45 per user per month and Elite is $59, verified 19 September 2026 from ascora.com.au/price.
  2. On Essentials: two users $90 a month, three $135, four $180. On Elite: $118, $177, $236.
  3. Its page does not state whether those include GST, so neither do we.

  5. No free tier. A 14-day trial with no card and no lock-in.
  6. Chippie Team is $45 a month including 4 users, which is what one Ascora seat costs.

What does Ascora cost for my crew?#

Per-user pricing means the comparison changes shape with every person you add. One seat on Ascora Essentials and a whole Chippie Team plan are the same number, so the divergence starts at your second person.

What do Ascora users report?#

When is Ascora the better choice?#

  • You need equipment management or custom forms. Chippie has neither.
  • Your work runs in stages. Multi-stage projects are built in on Elite.
  • You want an Australian vendor with an Australian price. Ascora is both, which several tools in this category are not.

When is Chippie the better choice?#

  • Per-user pricing is the thing stopping you: four people on Chippie Team costs what one Ascora seat does.
  • You would be buying Elite for two of its five features.
  • You want to start free and stay free under 20 jobs a month.
  • You do not want an implementation fee you cannot see in advance.

On Enterprise, yes: that plan card states a one-time implementation fee applies, and the amount is not published. The Essentials and Elite cards do not mention one. Ask for it in writing before you commit.
Does Ascora have a free plan?

On Essentials at $45 per user per month, $180 a month. On Elite at $59, $236, plus the implementation fee. Chippie Team is $45 a month including 4 users.
What is locked to the Elite plan?
Advanced business reports, custom electronic forms, equipment management, multi-stage projects and supplier invoice importing. If you need any of those, Elite is the plan you are comparing, not Essentials.
What do reviewers complain about?
Mobile and iPad app limitations, bugs, and a scheduler that allows double bookings are commonly reported on Capterra, along with accounting-integration issues such as invoice line items not transmitting correctly to QuickBooks. Reported by some reviewers, not facts about every user.
Is Ascora Australian?
Yes. It is an Australian company with AUD pricing on a .com.au site, which is a genuine advantage over the North American tools in this category.
When should I choose Ascora?
When you need equipment management, custom forms or multi-stage projects, and you have the headcount for per-user pricing to still make sense. Chippie has none of those.
