Three reasons Canadian shops choose Rundo
AUD per-job pricing adds up fast
ServiceM8 charges per active job in Australian dollars. That means your monthly bill changes based on how busy you are, and you're paying currency conversion fees on top of it. Rundo is a flat monthly price in CAD. No surprises.
Canadian tax handling built in from day one
Rundo is built for Canadian trade businesses from the ground up. GST, HST, and provincial tax rates are native to the platform. ServiceM8 was built for the Australian market, where tax rules differ.
Automated follow-ups, less manual work
Rundo automates satisfaction checks, review requests, and referral asks after every job. ServiceM8 doesn't include these automations, so the same workflow becomes manual phone calls and emails.
