Two very different tools for trade businesses. Here's the honest comparison — including when you should use both.
Fergus is job management software — it helps your team run jobs in the field: scheduling, quoting, on-site notes, materials, staff timesheets, and invoicing. It's excellent at what it does.
ProfitLens is business intelligence — it sits on top of your existing software and analyses the financial performance of your business. It finds profit leaks, identifies which job types make money, tells you what to charge, and gives you an AI coach you can ask questions in plain English.
Most trade businesses that use ProfitLens are also running Fergus, Tradify, simPRO or ServiceM8. ProfitLens connects to those platforms and adds the financial intelligence layer on top.
Fergus from $79/mo · ProfitLens from $49/mo
Connect Fergus to ProfitLens via Xero and you get the best of both: Fergus manages your jobs in the field, and ProfitLens analyses all the financial data to tell you where you're leaking profit and what to do about it. Most ProfitLens customers who previously used Fergus alone report that they couldn't see where they were losing money until they added ProfitLens on top.
