Why people leave NextMinute for Trak
NextMinute is a tidy, mobile-focused job tracker, and for very simple needs it does the job. But businesses tend to outgrow it: as the team and the work get more involved, the per-user pricing bites and the feature depth runs short.
-
Per-user pricing as you grow
NextMinute charges per user. The more your team grows, the more you pay every month. Trak has no cost per user, the whole crew and your subbies go on any plan for one plan fee.
-
Light on depth as the work scales
NextMinute is built around straightforward job tracking. As you take on bigger jobs, you start needing proper job costing, profitability, detailed quoting and compliance. Trak carries that depth without changing tools.
-
No native SWMS
Safe Work Method Statements aren't built into NextMinute. Trak treats SWMS as a core feature on every plan: site-specific, mobile capture, signatures, audit history.
-
NZ-built, broadening focus
NextMinute is Auckland-built. Trak is built in Melbourne for the AU and NZ market specifically, with local support over chat and email and an AU/NZ-centric roadmap.

Where NextMinute is still the right fit
We don't think Trak is right for everyone. NextMinute is genuinely the better choice if:
- You're an NZ-based business with simple, mobile-first job tracking needs
- You're on Xero and don't need MYOB or deeper job costing
- You specifically prefer NextMinute's lightweight approach
If that's you, stay where you are. If it isn't, Trak's worth a look.
